Guest Designer - Tanya Adams

Hello everyone!  This is Tanya from Nonna's Craft Corner bringing you my second project as this month's Guest Designer here at Trendy Twine!

I'm a list maker and I love pretty little notebooks to keep by my phone, in my purse, and to give to friends and family.  I'm excited to show you my latest little notebook that I just finished putting together.....

Let me tell you how I put this little cutie together:

* I used a Spellbinders die to cut my covers from lightweight cardboard.  Then, using the same die, I cut out some pretty cardstock for the covers of my notebook and the inside pages (I used regular printer paper for the inside pages)

* I decorated my front cover with the cute little bird and musical notes that I cut out with my Cameo.

* After decorating my cover, I bound the covers and inside pages together using my Cinch.

* Next, I cut several pieces of Blue Berry Twine about 5 - 6 inches long.  Taking 2 strands at a time, I tied them around each wire.  I repeated the process 2 more times, giving each wire 6 strands of twine total for a nice, full look.

* After tying on all the twine, I trimmed off the ends for a nice, even appearance.

I totally adore the beautiful mix of blues in this Blue Berry Twine!  So pretty!

 

Well, that's about it for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I'll be back with one more project to share with you on Friday, June 28th.  I hope to see you then!

Happy Flag Day

Good Morning Trendy Twiners!!

Jessica here from Chick-n-Scrap and

I have another fun treat idea to share with you using one of the special colors of the month  

Stars and Stripes

This has got to be one of my favorite colors, a twist of red, white, and blue...Perfect for all those patriotic projects! And if you are a blog follower of mine, you know I have been making quite a few projects over the last month using this twist. 

(you can see them HERE, HERE, and HERE)

  Flag Day is on Friday and I thought I would celebrate by making a fun little treat bag using the super adorable Tiny Clear Flat Bottom Lunch Bags that you can pick up in the Trendy Twine store. 

They are the perfect size to hold lots of treats...in my case I ended up filling it with some salt water taffy. There are 6 pieces in this bag but there is plenty of room to add double that! Aother the great thing about these clear bags is you can add so many different treats to them and embellish them is a variety of different ways!! The possibilities are endless!

Moving onto my topper I used my Cameo and a bracket cut file to design the actual topper. I double layered it using Navy and White card stock and then stamping my sentiment from

My Creative Time's- Many Greetings stamp set. For the heart flag, I used another file I found going through the Silhouette store and hid the actual stars that were meant to be cut out. I remembered that I just picked up some star sequins that I thought would make a great added embellishment.  I finished my topper off with a Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine bow and it is now ready to be given out :)

 Well I sure hope you have enjoyed my project! Make sure to check out the Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine along with these other awesome colors..... all on sale for the month of June!

You can see them all HERE at the store!

Hello everyone!

Just a quick card with some fabulous Stars & Stripes Trendy Twine on it :)  I love this twine (but then again, I think I love it all!)

I was asked to do a card demo in July and my mother-in-law took some of my cards to show the ladies.  One of them asked that I make cards for her to send to a troop for the June package she is sending. I spent an entire Saturday trying to come up with something and this is what I ended up with.  Sorry the picture is not exactly the best.  It was cloudy and now the cards are on their way.

This twine is perfect for July, so don't wait, get yours now!  It on sale along with some other great colors for the 4th.  There is even a mini special so you can try all 4 colors out.  

Have a fabulous day!!

Good Times Layout

Hello Trendy Twine fans, today I have a 2 page 12x12 layout to share.  I used a vibrant color scheme to go along with Berries Jubilee which is one of the featured colors this month.  This twine is a gorgeous twist of navy and red and can be used for festive or everyday projects.

I used the twine to accent the die cuts on my layout.  If you would like a closer look at my project, please stop by my blog to check it out.  Also check out all of the featured colors for this month, they are all on sale too!  I love the red, white and blue color combinations, aren't they just gorgeous?

All of these colors plus many other products are available in the new store.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great Monday!

Guest Designer - Tanya Adams

Hello everyone!  This is Tanya from Nonna's Craft Corner and I am so excited to be the Guest Designer for the month of June here at Twine it up with Trendy Twine!  Thanks so much to Lesley and the Design Team Members for having me over to play!

For my first project, I made a special thank you for a very special friend and I can't wait to share it with you.....

I came across this fun black and white polka dot bucket and thought it really need a punch of yellow to bring it to life.  So, I got out my beautiful Lemon Tart Twine and got busy!

Starting at the bottom of my bucket, I wrapped my twine around the bucket going up about 3 inches.  I used dots of Glossy Accents along the way to hold my twine in place.

I also created a fun accent piece by wrapping Lemon Tart twine around a 3 inch piece of cardstock several times.  I slid the twine off and tied it in the center with a short piece of twine, then trimmed off the end pieces.  I added a black button to the center and glued it into place at the top of my bucket using a hot glue gun.

All of my decorative pieces received a touch of twine:

1)  The center of my flower is covered with Lemon Tart Twine

2) The cute little bumble bee has a sweet bow made from Tickled Pink Twine

3)  The stick portion of my chalkboard plant marker is covered with Lemon Tart Twine,  I think you can see it better in this photo.....

And there you go...a special thank you gift for a special friend!

I think this beautiful, bright shade of twine added so much color and fun to my gift...

Isn't it pretty?....and just perfect for summer!

Well, that's all I have for today. I hope you enjoyed my project and I look forward to sharing another fun Trendy Twine project with you next Friday!

Look who's 10!

Good Morning Trendy Twiners!!

Jessica here from Chick-n-Scrap and

I have a fun treat idea to share with you using one of the special colors of the month  

Berries Jubilee ~

 it is a great mix of navy and red Trendy Twine perfect for just about anything.... 

and it is on sale all month!

So for my project

I am getting a jump start on my son's 10th birthday party and and wanted to make a cute treat that he could give to some of his party guests. 

He is a HUGE bubble gum lover so my project is right up his alley!

We always tend to forget that sometimes simple can really make a great project and I hope you agree that this is one of them!

I used 2 of the clear candy boxes 

(did you know that Anne's Paper Boutique carried them?? Well now you do...LOL!)

and filled them with some Red/White and Blue gumballs. These boxes are PERFECT for holding the small bulk gumballs and jackpot for the kids because I only picked out the colors I wanted for my project and the rest they get!

Next for my sentiment I used My Creative Time~Scallop and Stitched Circle Dies along with the All Around Birthday Time stamp set and added them to white and navy card stock. I punched a small hole in the scalloped die cut, popped up the circle to add more dimension and it was ready to be added to my clear box. I then wrapped my Berries Jubilee Trendy Twine several times around the clear box and added my sentiment tag tied with a big bow.

So here is what they look like.....Fun project right??? And very easy to make! The great thing about these clear boxes is you can add so many different treats to them and embellish them is a variety of different ways!!

So what do you think??? My son already wanted to dig into one....but he has to wait until Monday...on his birthday!

 Well I sure hope you have enjoyed my project! Make sure to check out the Berries Jubilee along with these other awesome colors..... all on sale for the month of June!

You can see them all HERE at the store!

Trendy Beach Fun

Good morning, Trendy Twiners! It's Jessi from Kissin' Krafts!  (Hop on over to see my Trendy Twine Giveaway!!) Have you enjoyed the summer weather yet, and brought out the (dreaded) swimsuit? I have yet to dust off mine, putting it off as long as possible! Although, my mind might change with this fun summer card! 

Here is the card I made using Trendy Twine's Spotlight Twine - Stars and Stripes:

Stars and Stripes is one of my favorite Trendy Twine colors available! The color combo is PERFECT! So many wonderful possibilities available! Today I took the simple approach and created a twine clothesline. The beach background is created by blending inks. To add a special beachy touch, I took some beach stamps and repeated the images throughout the sand.
