Happy 5 Sukie & Helen...{Trendy Twine Guest Designer}

Good Morning everyone!

I am popping in with a special Guest Designer spot over on the 

Trendy Twine blog as the DT celebrates 2 special DT members

Sukie & Helen!

They have both been on the Trendy Twine DT for the past 5 years and in recognition of their talents with sharing awesome projects for the past 5 years, the DT made some special cards for them.

 Take a look at the cards I made using one of my favorite go to twines~ Totally White

To make my cards, I used kraft cardstock bases, layered some white cardstock and then picked some fun pattern paper that I new would match with the design of my cards.
For the star card, I cut the star Pinwheel Center dies from MCT  in rainbow scrap cardstock and then threaded the twine through each of the holes. A simple bow was then tied onto the top through the red star.
The sentiment was die cut using the Tag Die Layers and for a fun added touch I left the sentiment with the negative which was then popped up onto the front of the card.
The heart card was made exactly like the star card with the only difference being the sentiment and designer paper.

Congrats to Sukie and Helen on 5 years of Trendy Twine service!! Your designs are awesome and I sure hope you like your cards ladies!!!
Make sure to check out the Trendy Twine blog for more celebration cards from the DT!

A special thanks to Lesley for asking me to be a part of this Happy 5 for Sukie and Helen!

Have a GREAT Friday and weekend!!

Hugs!

Deck the Halls w/Inky Paws.....{Newton's Nook Designs GD}

Good Morning and Happy Hump Day!!

I am very excited to share with you some awesome news.....

not to long ago I was asked by Jennifer~owner and designer for Newton's Nook Designs if I would be interested in being a Guest Designer the first week of December. Well of course I said yes~ first because I had never heard of Newton's Nook Designs and secondly because I thought it would be a great way to share with my friends and followers an adorable stamp company that makes the cutest sets! 

I was able to pick out 2 stamp sets to use and have several projects to share between today's post and the fun Blog Hop we have scheduled for Friday. 

For my first card I used the Frozen Friends stamp set and made this....

I started with a Kraft card stock base and used designer papers from My Minds Eye~All is Bright paper pack.

I stamped the cute snowmen on a piece of the designer paper, and added a bit of color to them using my copic markers. I thought they would look adorable in a frame so I die cut the frame from My Creative Time~Just Simply Live set. I added additional hearts above the snowmen and then stamped the sentiment from the same set onto the frame.

After adding some stitching to the border of the designer paper as well as some zig zag stitching to add some more decorative elements, I put the card together. I thought it needed a little something more, so I pulled a snowflake punch out, added a few in the matching designer paper and then added some SU bling to the center. I also added touches of diamond stickles to the snowmen for a bit more sparkle.

For my next card I used the Holiday Wishes stamp set and came up with this CAS design

I actually am going to make several more of these to send out to friends for Christmas. For this card I started with a black card base, added a layer of green and then my top layer of white cardstock. I stamped the sentiment first onto the white card stock, making sure to line up the wording as best as I could in the center of the card. Once I was happy with the centering, I stamped my stockings above and then went to adding some color to the image using my copics. I wanted to add some more sparkle to the stockings so I brought out my diamond stickles again. To finish up my card I added a few red sequins around the sentiment and my card was finished.

I hope you have enjoyed my cards! I really had fun putting them together. Make sure to check out the Newton's Nook Designs Blog for more projects and inspiration using these sets as well as their store for additional stamp sets that are available.

Please come back and join myself and an amazing lineup of designers on Friday for the.....

There will be lots of inspiration and a prizes as well!

Have a GREAT rest of your day and thanks so much for stopping by!!!

MCT.... New Release Blog Hop!!!

Good Morning and Welcome to the My Creative Time

July New Release Blog Hop!

Before we get along to the hop I want to send a HUGE Thank You to Miss Emma for having me as a Guest Designer for this new release as well as the ENTIRE DT for all the support and awesome comments you all left me. It is such an honor to design with an AMAZING and TALENTED bunch of ladies!!!

Now that all the mushy stuff is out of the way.....You should be hopping along from the very talented

Veronica

If you just popped in to say hello, I am the last stop along the hop so make sure you head on back to 

Emma's!

You will not want to miss a thing!

Hopefully you didn't miss any of the last 5 days of sneaks.... Here is a sample of all the projects I created.

I have had a blast using all these stamps and dies, both the new release and the older sets so when I saw this week's sketch from Mojo Monday I knew the MCT products that would be a PERFECT match for this sketch! 

And since I needed a birthday card for one of my son's friends, I incorporated it all and came up with this... Hope you like it!

So what do you think? Isn't it perfect for a 12 year old boy? And since making masculine cards are always a challenge for everyone...including myself, I knew using the dies from MCT would make it that much easier.

Supplies Used:

My Creative Time~ Stitched Camera Die, Stitched 4x6 Journal Die,

Just Simply Live Stamp Set

Many Greetings

Kraft Cardstock, My Minds Eye~Lime Twist paper pad

Trendy Twine Totally White

sewing machine

Trendy Twine GD~ Memo Board + GIVEAWAY!!

Morning Bloggers!!

I am so super excited to share my project with you today!!

I was asked by Lesley of

Trendy Twine 

to be a Guest Designer today and of course I JUMPED at the opportunity!!!

This month Trendy Twine is showcasing the beautiful

Berry Trendy Twine

So for my project I wanted to make something that I can display in my home 

as well as fit into this months Challenge at Trendy Twine~ 

which is to create a 

project using red, white and blue 

and

 Trendy Twine :)

So instead of making a patriotic project

I made a cute summer 

Memo Board~

a place I can show off our summer adventures, photo's and mementos.

My inspiration for this???

The two colors of twine together made me think of a 

~postcard

 or 

~postage stamp

or

traveling 

and since we just got home from celebrating the 4th down at our family cottage I thought this would be perfect!!

I started off with a picture frame that I picked up at the dollar store

removed the backing and hot glued Berry and Blue Berry Twine  in no specific pattern across the back.

Once all the glue had set, I replaced the glass backing back on

(this is not necessary but I wanted to give my frame more stability because I will be displaying it on a stand)

Here is a close~up of the tags 

I have been looking at this washi tape sitting in my drawer for weeks now and

when I pulled them out again and placed them up against the twine....well it was a match made in heaven!

So what do you think??

I have yet to print out pictures but as soon as I do I will add them to my board.

The best thing about this project,

besides being so super easy to make

It can be made to fit any time of the year, embellished any way and would make a GREAT holiday gift!!

Now the super sweet Lesley

has very kindly allowed me to offer one lucky friend

this beautiful bundle of

Berry Trendy Twine 

In order to win this~

you need to pop over to the Trendy Twine FB page~ HERE

and tell Lesley that you are coming from my blog

That's it :)

She will then pick a winner from everyone who stops by!!

You have until Monday July 16th @ 11pm CST to enter!!

I hope you have enjoyed my project and maybe been inspired to create one yourself!

I want to again thank Lesley and Trendy Twine for having me as a Guest Designer!!

Remember to check out their challenge 

Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT Friday!!
