Shaker Clip for your planner

Debbie here from Craftin' Chaos and today is "Shaker Saturday" and since I have recently gotten into planners I wanted to combine my love of making paperclips with my design team project so a shaker clip was born!

I created the owl file in my silhouette program from scratch. Believe it or not my first run of this worked as far as sizing and everything! I used some clear acetate and cut two circles of it one for the first layer and then I cut multiple layers of the paper to create a raised area for the sequins to sit in cause I was not going to attempt pop dots or foam tape. Then I used another circle of acetate to seal it up and another layer for the back. I love this little clip! The sequins move around great, although I would prefer to use a smaller sequin in this size it still shakes even though it is a small space.

The colors are a fushia pink and a really pretty turquoise color. I used the Raspberry Pink to create a fun tassel to tie onto my planner and a mix of sequins. Some are not in the shop yet (stars etc) but you can find a bunch of mixes Stacy has in the store and more to come!

I didn't actually stamp anything in my planner because the month we are on is Green in my planner and so it just didn't go with the colors I have here so I just moved to a page in my planner that looked good with my tassel and clip. But check out Bella Creationz planner stamps in the shop!

Amazing Crochet Flowers and other fun techniques

Hi .. Bev here today. I am super excited today to share these super cute flowers made using Lemonade Yellow Bella Creationz Timeless Twine.

I used the youtube link below to follow to create these precious flowers.

Trying to use cricut machine more often... so many fun things that you really

can do.... when you take the time and make the effort in creating.

Rather than just gluing down a twine flourish freehand I used cricut and the cricu

markers to colour my card front... above. 

Space your art work to fit the 5x7" card size... leaving extra around the 

edges to be centred and cut.

Above is the centred and cut card front.

I added glue following the flourish shape and added my timeless twine.

I also punched some corners and partial borders.

This is my finished easel card. Lots of fabulous fun twine flowers, twine flourish, border twine, 

and awesome sequins in the base that was also cricut marker printed.

Up close you can see the twine flourish and flowers detailing, the punching

and also used Bella Creationz sequins to accent the card.

Up close in this shot the fun cricut marker based border and the wrapped

rows of twine on the base if perfect.

In this close up you get a side view of the super fun easel card base.

What's Up, Doc?

Hi Everybody!

Jenny from Crazy About Cricut!  Welcome to 3D Thursday, where we get to highlight this fabulous twine on a project that isn't flat.  How fun is that??!!  Well, I was cruising Pinterest, and came across this cool idea for winding twine on a project from this blog HERE.  I decided to try this idea on a little smaller scale.  Here's how it turned out:

*I started out by taking some packing paper, and shaping it into a cone.

*I put a strip of the adhesive down one side to help hold the twine in place.  I didn't put it all over, because although it dries clear I didn't want any shiny, dry glue showing.

*Then I just wrapped the twine around.

*When it was time to do the carrot stem, I started by wrapping a piece of the double sided tape around the top.

*Next, I wove the Olive Green twine up and down.  To finish it off, I wrapped more Olive Green around and covered up the bottom weaved part.

*After trimming a bit of the top off, the stem was done!

Here is the final product.........

*I love how the Solid Orange twine looks, and added a carrot using the Pumpkin Orange twine for a bit of pop.

*What's Up, Doc??  That bunny is ready to nibble on those delicious lookin' carrots, lol!

*Aren't those the cutest carrots ever??  I like how they're a little bumpy, and look more like real carrots.  It did take a couple of hours to do all 3, but I just sat with some music on, and it was pretty relaxing just sitting and winding twine :)

*I think these will make some fun Easter home decor!

So Happy For You

Happy Hump Day everyone, Maria here from Maria Lina's Creative Designs. For today's theme I needed to create a project using the word "Happy". I decided to make this fun and cute little basket using my favorite color yellow, which makes ME happy!

Of course to complete the basket I added some awesome goodies from Bella Creationz and Timeless Twine... twine, doilies, baggies and the stamp set Happy Days.

I put caramels to the inside of the baggies and tied it off with some of the same twine used on the box to bring it together. The addition of the doilies I thought softened the look and made it much prettier and fun.

I never thought I could find so many uses for twine as I do now, it adds just the perfect touch to any project.

Be sure to stop by my blog for complete details!

Enjoy...

Technique Tuesday - Creating Your Own Cards w/Texture

Hi friends, happy Tuesday!!

Amber with Best Stamped Intentions with a fun little tutorial that I came up with for our "Technique Tuesday" and creating your own pocket scrapbooking cards with some fun texture. :)

1.  Take some cards (color and size of your choice!)

2. and spray with any kind of color spray.  I used Heidi Swapp's Color Shine.

(I misted in the kitchen...shhhh, don't tell my husband!!)

3.  Put into embossing folder and run through whatever embossing machine you've got.

4 and 5 are the completed embossed cards.

6 was actually a happy mistake that I didn't know I was making.  One of the cards was placed differently than the other creating a de-bossed look.  Kind of fun!

After your cards are dry (I left mine out overnight!), then comes the fun part of decorating them.

I used Timeless Twine in Lemonade Yellow, Aqua Blue, Purple Passion, and Bubblegum Pink to add even more dimension than the embossing made.  I also added a few sequins in (Raspberry Pink) for some added sass. :)

xoxo, Amber

Planning with Minnie

Debbie from Craftin Chaos and its a Plannerd Sunday. So I busted out the Erin Condren and used My "Plannerd Stamp Sets" and decorated up my planner. The stamps are so versatile it just works. The lines from the first Plannerd set fits perfectly in the squares. I love that you have a variety of shapes to use as check offs.

I use a Frixon pen so it is erasable and that is a lifesaver. All the supplies I used are listed below. The pages pretty much speak for themselves what I did to them. I like to have a memo or a To do list for various days and my Top 5 is my wish list. Trust me I didn't finish it but I have two more things I can add!!

If you are a PlanNERD you really should grab the planning sets by Bella Creationz.

Two words make me HAPPY! -- SHAKER CARD

Shaker cards & Sequins!

Really, how much more fun

can I take?  Hi, it's Cathy from

www.mimiscraftcorner.blogspot.com

and I'm so excited to share two of my favorite

things.  I love making shaker cards and

I truly love sequins.

It's a bit gloomy in Indiana as we are facing

another cold and snowy weekend, so I

decided to create some sunshine on my own.

The sun is from the Silhouette store and seriously

using a cut from there is the EASIEST way to

create this fun card.  All you do is choose

what paper you want the sun cut from and load

white paper in for the rest.  The Silhouette cuts out

all the layers, you glue them together and add

in your fun sequins!  How fun and 

beautiful!  

I used the following products by

Timeless Twine & BellaCreationz

Clearly Beloved Sequins

BellaCreationz

Lemonade Yellow Twine

BellaCreationz

Solid Black Twine

BellaCreationz

I added a little sprinkle of 

Martha Stewart chunky glitter

in my shaker and a sentiment

at the bottom.

What a fun card!

Thank you for stopping in to see me today.

Now - let's get shakin'!!!

Fun Friday!

Happy Friday, everyone!  Ashley here from Marine Wife's Scrappin' Life with a Fun Friday project.  Fun Fridays are anything goes, think outside the box and to create something you don't normally make.  I created some altered art, although not a lot recently, but when I saw this cupcake, I knew I HAD to work with it for my Valentine's decorations.

I think it turned out so fun and colorful with the "sprinkles" on top of the cupcake!

You can see more photos and descriptions on my blog.  I hope wherever you are that you're nice and toasty warm!  Have a great weekend!

Products Used:

- Clearly Beautiful Mixed Sequins
- Raspberry Pink Mix Sequins
- White Frost Sequins--coming soon!
- Strawberry Cupcake Timeless Twine

These Boots are Made for Walking - AGAIN

Karen N here from Craftily Yours.  It's a Throwback Thursday here at Timeless Twine!  The task is to use a project from the past and re-do it to make it better.  I went back to February 2013 on my blog and found this:

This was a card I made for my son two years ago when he was graduating from boot camp.  He is still proudly serving in the U.S. Army, and I decided to use that same stamp-set (from There She Goes) and use the general lay-out as inspiration.  Here's what I came up with:

I definitely take better pictures now!  haha  I like the re-worked version with the beautiful Timeless Twine in Cherry Red.  It seems more appropriate in red, white and blue.  Those gold and silver stars are from Bella Creationz and should be posted soon in the embellishments section.  

Thanks for going back in time with me today!  Before you go, be sure to "like" the Timeless Twine and Bella Creationz Facebook pages to keep up with all the fun inspiration by the Creative Crew.  Also, be sure to check out all of the fun goodness at the Bella Creationz Etsy Site!  

Craftily yours,

Karen
