Hint of Christmas with Handi Scandi

Hello everyone, I'm here to share with you some cards I made using the cheerful Handi Scandi range.  

The patterns in this range are brilliant and you are spoilt for choice from the patterns printed on white or kraft backgrounds. 

I made this card using the tear drop paper which I punched a small hole either side so I could tie three strands of twine around.  Next I punched three circles from the Handi Scandi Meadows paper and added them to the twine and embellished them silver gems.

Supplies : 

12X12 Double-Sided Cardstock Handi Scandi - Meadows, 

12X12 Double-Sided Cardstock Handi Scandi - Teardrops

Twinery Twine - Marigold, Maraschino, Ocean Stripe

The card below mixes the kraft side of the paper with the more geometric side.  In the blue dotty paper I die cut some circles so I could use them as a window to show the lines of twine which I had glued to a strip of paper.

Supplies : 

12X12 Double-Sided Cardstock Handi Scandi - Bouquet GLITTERED, 

12X12 Double-Sided Cardstock Handi Scandi - Meadows, 

Handi Scandi Glittered Die-cut Pack 49 pce

Twinery Twine - Gold Shimmer

And of course with Christmas around the corner there is a fab sheet with a glittered stag on it so I decided to change him in to Rudolph and made a little Christmas cheer to send!

Supplies

12X12 Double-Sided Cardstock Handi Scandi - Hunt Lodge GLITTERED

Handi Scandi Tag Pack 25 pce

Handi Scandi Wood Veneer Pack 8 pce

Twinery Twine - Maraschino

The Twinery and Ruby Rock-It Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to my blog!  

Over the next few days there is going to be a heap of fun as this is happening .....

Hopefully you will have arrived here from {Suzanna Lee's} blog 

(don't worry you can join in from here if you have only found out about the hop!)

I had so much fun creating this layout for the blog hop with product from 

The Twinery and Ruby Rock-It 

I swirled some of the twine on to the white card stock and used this as a 'backing paper' before I added some of the Ruby Rock-It Handi Scandi papers.

Inspired by my children's obsessions with funky bracelets, I used the yellow twine to create a friendship bracelet which I added to the bottom of the photos as a border.

So here is what I made for the blog hop ....

With the Ruby Rock-It theme all about love and weddings this month I couldn't wait to use some of the product from the Bella! Wedding range.  I also used the 'Solid Blossom' Bakers Twine and created a heart by creating a daisy chain knot in the twine,  it helps to give some texture to the card.

 I also made a little butterfly using a large length of the 'Solid Strawberry' twine which I kept folding in half until I was happy with the size.  I then tied another piece around the centre before trimming the ends off.  I finished it with some coiled wire and a gem stone.

It's now time to hop on over to Natalie Clause blog for more inspiration!

Once I had cut out the inside of the circle die cut out I wrapped the twine around the scallops on the right hand side to create some lines to suspend some punched out hearts on.

I used three twines together to create a border around the layout.  I also wound a length of the twine together to make some centres for the flowers and also some dots.
