Trendy Twine Guest Designer

Happy Tuesday!

If you are looking for my Jaded Blossom post, click here.

I was asked to be a guest designer today on the Trendy Twine blog. If you haven't seen their super yummy twine, you have to check it out!

My Project is a magnetic photo frame.
 
The twine is Trendy Twine's "Cherry Cupcake". This twine is a "twist" of double pink and double red.
The frame is made with a 5 x 7 metal roofing tin. They can be purchased at Home Depot in the roofing/sheet metal section. The papers are from Coredinations and We R Memory Keepers.

I borrowed this fun idea from my super talented friend Liz, from Liz's Paper Loft.  
The ladybug is an svg from Paper Piecing by Nikki. It is from the Cute as a Bug (boy) set. I used Peachy Keen Stamps face stamp from Medium Critter Faces for her face.

Hooo's My Valentine?

Happy Tuesday!

Today is my DT day with Jaded Blossom. I made a Valentine's Day card with one of their fun stamps!
 The papers are from PaperTrey Ink, Coredinations, and BoBunny.
 
The Owl and the heart are both from the svg file, Who Loves you? by LSHD. I took one of the hears, created a shadow layer around it, and then welded two of them together to form the base of the card. Everything was cut out with my Ecraft.
The sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's "I Hoot You" petal.

Leprechaun Kisses!

Happy Monday!

Leprechaun Kisses?  Who knew?

 St. Patrick's Day always seems to be overlooked when it comes to scrappy supplies. I was so excited when I first saw this new stamp set from Jaded Blossom!
I knew that My Scrap Chick's Spring Treat Bags svg would work perfectly with it too!
I cut the bag out of PaperTrey Ink Kraft card stock, added a little white stitching around the shamrock, a little bag of green foil kisses, and some green & white twine!   I think that was the quickest treat bag that I have ever made.
Of course we can't for get the super cute Leprechaun stamp! It came from Jaded Blossom's, The Luck of the Irish stamp set.


I hope you have a wonderful day!

Love Bites

Happy Monday!

I spent some time this weekend making Valentine's Day cards. I think this one is my favorite of the bunch. I found the shark & surfboard clip art a year or so ago and had been meaning to convert it. When I saw the "Love Bites" stamp from Jaded Blossom, I knew that they were perfect for each other.
 I converted the shark clip art in my  Make-the-Cut software. It took me a bit of time, but I think the result was well worth it! The base of the card is a free svg "stamp" file that I found in the  Make-the-Cut gallery. I re-sized it and then welded two of them together to form the base of my card.
The papers are from Mind Minds Eye, Twisted Lime collection, Papertrey Ink, and Coredinations.
The "Love Bites" sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's  "Love Bites" stamp set.

I hope you have a great day!

Happy Friday!

Today is the day that you have all been waiting for!!! The My Creative Time's January
new release blog hop! If you would like to start at the beginning, click here.

I created a mini album with the new Bubblegum Treat Box.
I cut the die apart and created this sweet little mini album. The "Love" stamp on the front is from the 100% Sweetness stamp set.
The first sentiment and tag are both from the new set called Teeny Tag Greetings. The tiny circle is a die that comes with the Build a Banner Kit, and the "True Love" sentiment is from the "You had me at Chocolate" stamp set. 

This small album will hold 6, 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" pictures. I popped the tags up on foam tape so that the photos can be easily slipped under each tag.

Both of the above sentiments are from the "You had me at Chocolate" stamp set.
The papers are from PaperTrey Ink and Doodlebug Designs. The twine is from Sugar Twisted Twine.
 This is the back of the album. I had this stamp custom made, but Emma also has a set similar to this that would work perfectly too. It is called, 10thEdition Bonus Stamps.

My Creative Time's January Sneaks - Day 4

Happy Thursday!

Today is the 4th day of My Creative Time's January release sneak peaks!

My sneak for today was made with the new Bubblegum Treat Box Die. This new die makes the cutest treat boxes!
 
I made a Valentine's Day "countdown" garland.
 If you click on the photo above it will open it in a bigger window so you can get a better view of it.
  I thought it would be fun to fill each box with a fun activity or "date" that you and your loved one, or kids, can do during the 14 days. You could also fill a few with candy, for a "sweet" surprise. You can easily untie one end to get to that day's "surprise."
I used the Bubblegun Treat Box Die, the heart die that comes with the 100% Sweetness stamp set, the tiny circle die that comes with the Build a Banner Kit, and the numbers are from the Follow Your Dreams stamp set.
The papers are from PaperTrey Ink, and K and Company. The twine is from Trendy Twine.

Valentine's Treat Box

Happy Tuesday! 

If you are looking for the My Creative Time's sneak peak, click here.


I have a super quick and easy Valentine's Day project for you today!
The clear box is from Jaded Blossom and heart chocolates, I found at Wal-Mart. I glued two of them together with a glue dot to form a 3-d heart.
The tag was made with the Valentine Treats and Sweet Celebration
stamps sets. The circle stamps work perfectly with a 1 3/4" circle punch. 
I cut the two flower pieces with the Lettering Delights, Yours Truly svg file, Make-the-Cut and my Ecraft. I added the tag to the box with a bit of Tulle.
Wouldn't you love to open your mailbox and find one of these inside?

For more Valentine's inspiration, head on over to the Jaded blossom blog.
I hope you have a great day!

Sealed with a Kiss...

Happy Monday!

Did you have a nice weekend? I spent most of it cleaning and organizing, I always get in cleaning spree mode right after the new year. It must have something to do with the start of a fresh new year.

Anyway, I also found a little time to get a few of my blog projects for this week completed too. This Friday is My Creative Time's new release blog hop, so all week the design team will be showing sneaks of the new stamps. I have some fun projects to share and I can't wait to show you my blog hop project!

Today's card was made with an older stamp set, but I thought the sentiment was perfect.
The seal is a svg file from Little Scraps of Heaven, file is called Sealed with a Kiss. The base of the card was made with a tag from Lettering Delights, the file is called basic tags. I created a shadow around it and then welded two of them together form the base of the card. If you would like to see how that is done, click here to see a video tutorial.
The papers are from PaperTrey Ink, Bazzill, and October Afternoon's Hide and Seek Collection.


Isn't he sweet?

The sentiment is from My Creative Time's, Happy Mail stamp set.

Tomorrow I will have a sneak from the release this Friday. I can't wait to show it to you!

I hope you have a wonderful day!
