Best time to spread Christmas cheer!

Hello everyone, Happy Monday! It's design team day for me over at the Timeless Twine blog. Through December 12th, the Twine-istas will be featuring some "Krafty" creations using the color Kraft.

I have decided to use one of the small brown kraft bags from the shop to decorate.

 

 

I also used some "Krazy for Kraft" Timeless Twine bakers twine.

 

I stamped my image and sentiment directly onto the bag using Memento Tuxedo black ink.

My image and sentiment are from two different Peachy Keen Stamp sets. I colored my image in using my Spectrum Noir colored pencils, because they are oil based they color really well onto the kraft. The white circles are made using embossing paste and a stencil.

I haven't quite decided what I am going to put in this little gift bag yet, but someone will be getting some goodies in it come Christmas time.

Thank you all for stopping by and have a great day!!

Tag, You're it with Timeless Twine

Hello everyone, It's design team day for me over at the Timeless Twine Blog. Can you believe Christmas only about a month away!? I am hoping to finish up the rest of my Christmas shopping for my peanut in these next two weeks. I figured this year I would make my own tags for his presents, so that's the project I will be sharing with you all today. I only have three made so far, so those will be the three I will share :)

This project was super simple in being, all I did was stamp, color and add some fun Timeless Twine.

Twine Colors used:

Simply White, Cherry Red, Key Lime Sorbet, Christmas Twist

 

 

All my stamps are by Peachy Keen, I wanted to keep the tags fun and whimsical since there will be going on my 3 year old's presents.

I hope this will all inspire you to try and make some of your own tags this year, instead of buying them from the store. They are fun, easy and cheap to make and they are sure to put a smile on

any one's face!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!!

Piles of Smiles

Hello and Happy Labor day everyone! It's design team day for me over at the Timeless Twine Bog.  I hope you all got the day off from work and are enjoying yourselves. I am spending time with family and of course getting crafty. Since we are starting out a new month, we will be starting a new theme.

This months theme is all about fall, we are flying into fall.

I used the colors as my inspiration and not so much the image.

I made this sweet little treat box, to fill up with goodies and give to my little peanut(my son).

The little box is a file from the online Silhouette store called 3d gable box.

Chocolate Chip Brown, Cherry Red, Aqua Blue Timeless Twine.

Sequins Mixed

 

The twine-istas will be sharing a mixture of projects with you all this month, including cards and anything but a card :) so make sure you stop by each day of the month for your daily dose of inspiration!

Hope you all enjoy and have a great day

TTDT Day: Sweet On You!

Hello everyone, happy Monday, Its my turn to post over on the Timeless Twine  blog today! If you didn't already know, this month the twine-istas with be sharing 3D Valentine projects with you all. I am going to kick off my first post for this month, by sharing a bag I altered.  

 

 

I decided to paper pierce my bag and do a scalloped crochet edge on it using my absolute favorite twine, Strawberry Cupcake. I didn't follow a pattern, I just SC down the bag, then turned, did four DC in first SC, SS in next SC, skip stitch and repeat.

SC: Single Crochet

DC: Double Crochet

SS: Slip Stitch

 

I put a Spellbinders die, cut side up, inside my bag and ran through my eBosser (thanks Dad & Mom, yes my dad does read my blogpost) :) to cut out the circle. I than placed the same circular die inside a larger scallop die by spellbinders to cut out the glittery circular frame. I put a piece of clear acetate on the inside of bag & adhered it down, so the candies wont fall out. The bag was filled with chocolates, but before pictures, my peanut and I got hungry :)

 

Items used from store:

Small Brown Kraft Bags

 

Small Gift Tags-White

 

Strawberry Cupcake

 

Sequins Mixed

 

All my stamps used on my bag are by Peachy Keen Stamps.

 

Thank you all for stopping by and taking a peek at my altered gift bag, also be sure to head over to yesterdays post and check out our Simply White blog hop, if you haven't already, this new twine is just perfect and so are all the creations made with it!!
