Trendy Twine-Guest Designer

Ten more days till Christmas !  (But, who is counting, right?)  Christi here with my last December's Guest Designer post for Trendy Twine .  I always love when Lesley and the gang at Trendy Twine grace me with this honor!  Who can't resist Trendy Twine's Bakers Twine????  I know it is on the top of my Christmas list!

For my last project  here in December, I want to share with you another Christmas card I made for a special friend.



I found something similar in a magazine , like my last post , but of course had to make this mine.

I started off with a white base folding it in half and putting a red Piece of AC Card stock on top of this .  I then pulled out my DCWV stack, Winter Solstice for the pattern snow flakes.  I Glued all three down together .  

I brought out my Nested , Stitched Circles from Pink and Main and laid them in the middle of the front of the card.  (making sure to not have the back of my card in the way.)  And ran it through my Big Shot to cut out the 3 inch circle.

Taking a 3 inch die and a 4 inch die I then cut out the frame to go around the circle. and set it aside for later.

Cutting 5 , 3 1/2 inch pieces of Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine, I proceeded to lay ATG Tape around the circle edge then stretching the twine from one side to the other .  Keeping the twine at the top of the circle close together and spread out at the bottom.
When the Twine was laid out I put the ATG tape over the top of the twine edges around the circle edges again to now lay the frame I cut out earlier.  I proceeded to put Glitter Glue around the frame and set aside to dry.
I cut out a 1 1/2 in circle and a shadow for my sentiment and picked out a sentiment from a stamp set I had in my stash.  Once my glitter glue was dry I glued my sentiment on at the bottom of my circle and made a bow out of my Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine and draped it down the sides of my circle .  To finish it off, I added clear snowflakes and added red and blue bling to the centers to match my twine.

Here is what I used from Trendy Twine:



I hope you all have a VERY Merry Christmas and a VERY Happy New Year!

Blessings,

Trendy Twine-Christmas Tree

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I wanted to share my Final December Guest DT post for Trendy Twine with you.
It is a quick and easy Christmas decoration using the Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine and the Frosted Cranberry Sequins.



I made a Christmas tree by wrapping the Trendy Twine around a round ,triangle, foam form.  For the "ornaments" I used the Frosted Cranberry Sequins stuck on with pearl-head straight pins.  To top the tree off I bought a gold star and painted it with blue acrylic paint and stuck it on top.

I am really pleased how it turned out and hope you enjoy it too.

Here is the products I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Trendy Twine-Snowman Card

Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul! That is how I feel about my card I made for Trendy Twine this week!  I want you to think .....Frosty.....Frost.....Frosted....Yeah that is it!  Frosted!




 It all started with this adorable SVG Vintage snowman from Little Scraps of Heaven.   I just adored him !  I thought what would look better with him but Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine and this beautiful paper my dear friend Beth sent me?

First I layered American Crafts Cardstock with the gorgeous Pattern paper that was given to me .  I then Took the Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine and wrapped it around the top 4 layers and tied it in a bow , making sure that it was at an angle and crossed over itself each time.  I added a small tag to it before adding the bow to add a special name to whoever you decide to give it to.  (I have not done this yet) 




I then added the SVG of Frosty and slipped him behind the twine.To top it off  what better look than Frosted Cranberry Sequins that is a perfect ending to a Frosty.....Frosted......Song....I mean Card!  LOL  I added three to the top right corner of the card.



I would love it if you would stop by Trendy Twine's blog today and visit them and me and leave is a message at:Trendy Twine

1st Post as a new DT Member for Cutting Cafe!

Hi Folks!  I wanted you all to know I am now a new DT member for Cutting Cafe.  I am sooooo VERY excited and hope you all are as excited as I am.  Regina makes AWESOME files and Digital stamps, PDF's , Templates and so many other types of files! You just need to stop over to The Cutting Cafe and check it out for yourself!

Ok,  On to my project.....we were to use a can or jar and upcycle it using Cutting Cafe files.  Since I am raising my grandchildren and one of them just outgrew baby food , it was pretty easy for me to decide what kind of jar I was going to use .....BABY FOOD JARS!  I have them coming out my ears! I never wanted to  throw them away for you can always use them to craft with right?  LOL    I decided I was going to make small votive/tea light candle holders.





First I used Cutting Cafe's  Christmas Basic Shapes Cutting files and made these adorable wreaths to fit around the bottom of the Jars.  I then made the snowflake and glued it on the side and put a little red rhinestone in the middle of the snowflake.   To finish it off I took some Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine  and glued it around the rim.  I used battery operated tea lights in mine since I have little ones in the house but  you can use regular tea lights or votive candles.

Here is what it looks like in the dark.


Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to many more posts with Cutting Cafe!

Please leave me a comment I will answer you back and let me know what you think!

Blessings,
