Shaker Treat Box

Hi Everybody!
Jenny from Crazy About Cricut here, and it's time to shake it for another Shaker/Sequins Saturday!  For today's project, I created this super fun Shaker Treat Box! 


*I'm always looking for fun treat boxes, and this 3D Shaker Window Box was awesome!
*The star shaped sequins coordinated perfectly with my patterned cardstock.  
*I added a twine border on the lid.  And since there's always a color of twine to coordinate with any project, the Pumpkin Orange twine was perfect!


*Add some fun, colorful treats on the inside for the perfect treat :D

I also thought today was the perfect day to share how I store my Timeless Twine/Bella Creationz sequins:

*I LOVE these containers from Craft Mates.  They have locking compartments, so if you drop the container there is no spilled sequins all over the floor!

*When you get your goodies from the Bella Creationz store, they all come fabulously labeled.  So I took those labels off, and put them on the compartment lids!!  This way, when I want to reorder anything I already have the exact name of the product :D


*Here's some more sequins colors.

I hope you enjoyed my project!  Make sure to check back daily for more inspiration from the design team.  TFL, and hope everyone has a chance to craft today :)

Say Cheese Mini Album

Hi everyone, Maria here from Maria Lina's Creative Designs, today at Timeless Twine it is Fun Friday...Create something fun! So for my project I made a Camera Mini Album, I've had these awesome papers from Simple Stories "Say Cheese" Collection, that I thought matched perfectly for this project.
 
I used Cherry Red, Lemonade Yellow and Tuxedo Black twine and  from Bella Creationz the Kraft and Gray reinforcement stickers. I liked the use of twine in place of the metals rings that are typically used on mini albums, I think it gives it a softer more playful look.
 
The svg file is from the Silhouette store #43482, I did use the opening on the reverse side, just a preference of mine. I also cut out additional layers for the center of the tag and the top piece of the tag in various colors of papers, I created those  cuts on my own.
 
Enjoy...

3D Thursday - Travel Journal Mini Book

Happy Thursday, friends!!

Amber with Best Stamped Intentions here with a new pocket layout for you.

On the Timeless Twine Creative Crew, we have set challenges for each day of the month.  On each of my days, I try my very best to meet each challenge using Pocket Scrapbooking.  Well, today is 3D Thursday.

If you pocket scrapbook, you can understand why I would panic a little bit about that! :)  
Truth be told, I almost caved and created a cute little critter on my Silhouette for Easter.  BUT...then I put my big girl panties on and decided that I was going to make this work!  I enjoy a challenge.

So, I went to work.

I chose 3 4x6 themed cards from the Sn@p "Travel" collection that I had laying around just waiting for me to use and folded them in half making 6 mini book pages.  Instead of using staples to put the pages together, I took some of the super cute Timeless Twine to TIE them together!  I chose Chocolate Chip and Olive Green twine - it's darling with these cards!

Here's the full spread:


And a few pages of the mini book:




Lots of spots for journaling things that I don't necessarily want to share with the public.

Like perhaps locking my daughter in the rental car after I had put her in her car seat.  Yeah.....mother of the year moment!!  Thankfully, it wasn't hot and we were still at the rental car place and got her out quick.  Shout out to Budget rental cars!!

I also found this great little travel agenda card that I used the Bella Creationz PlanNerd stamp set to cute it up a bit.  I use these stamps on everything.  Seriously.  They're SO versatile!!!!


Until next time, friends!
xoxo, Amber

Planner Tassel Fun Tutorial

Debbie here from Craftin' Chaos for Technique Tuesday. I decided I would make a planner tassel and show you how. I used Watermelon Sorbet twine. I know a video would have been better but today has been super busy so hopefully you will understand my tutorial

First I started out with 3 strands of twine and tied a knot at the end and braided it. 


I used a 6x6 paper pad to wrap the twine around. You can use a paper pad, scrap chipboard, cd case or even a video case just as long as it will make your tassel the length you want. 
Wrap the twine around quite a bit to get a full tassel. 



Pull it off the paper pad carefully



Tie some twine in the center, make sure to tie it once and then tie it again in a knot.



Then I tie my braid around it. I have done this another way before also by just sticking it through the top after I am done with the tassel which works well too. This is just a quick alternative. I think I like the other way better to be honest but this is what I did for this particular tassel. 

Gather the twine as shown below





Figure out how far down top section to be and tie a knot around it. Hold the one end down with the bottom section and take the other end and continue to wrap around the top over and over until you like the look of it. Take tweezers or something you can stick up from the bottom to grab that end piece and pull it through to hide the end. Now you can tie it on your favorite planner!

Cards made easy using Bella Creationz newest products



Hi Bev here today.
At Bella Creationz today I am having so much fun with their new products
and am happy to share 2 cards today.
Up first is the Hello card. It started with the embossing of the new gold metallic sticker 
sheet to fit the size of the card base.
The background base was spiratically inked and then stamped using both ink and glossy accents in opposite corner twice to outer corners leaving room for the embossed piece.
Twine was wrapped around 3 times and then after lightly tracing the word Hello I glued twine
to cover and say Hello.
For finishing touches I added both star and circular sequins.

Supply List:
Base card: misc
Paper: Bella Creationz Gold Metallic Sticker sheet
Twine: Bella Creationz Black Kraft bakers Timeless twine
Stamp: Bella Creationz Camera Stamp clear set
Embossing Folder: Sizzix
Ink: Tim Holtz ranger
Glossy Accents: ranger






*********************************************

For my 2nd simple, easy and fun card I used a stamp but inked it with 3 shades on a base card.
Notice I offset this part of the image.


After that I ink stamped a butterfly and sentiment.


To the right side I matched a cardstock panel close in colour to the inked image.
I wrapped solid twine to centre and on either outer edge wrapped with varigated twine.
The butterfly then needed a flight path made from some twine,
This is a simple but elegant style card and easy to make.

Saturday with Sequins

Happy Saturday, Friends.  Karen N here from Craftily Yours!

Today, I'm sharing a FUN Sequin Saturday card!  I LoVe sequins!  I was SO excited when Bella Creationz started to carry them.  They add such fun and sparklies!  Without further ado, here's what I did!



I love this ladybug fairy from Unity Stamp Company.  She's a big stamp, so adding pattern paper around her would be difficult.  Problem solved, add sequins!  These sequins from Bella Creationz are in Raspberry Pink and White Frost (coming soon).  The card is finished off with a smidge of Timeless Twine in Lemonade Yellow.   

Hope my card inspires you to have a FUN and COLORFUL weekend! 

Craftily yours,

Karen

Fun Friday!

Here it is.......FRIDAY!!  Hey there, it's Jenni from Wish I Was Scrappin!  It's my turn at Fun Friday!  Fun Friday is all about trying new things and jumping outside your comfort zone!  This was a hard one for me!  If I'm not comfortable, I usually pass it up!  The search was on!  I've always wanted to try string art, but thought it would be too difficult!  My dad made a beautiful string art way back in the day using nails and string and it was gorgeous!


So on a smaller scale than the artwork my dad created, I've chosen a smaller design and cardstock!  I printed the pattern, traced the dots and grabbed an embroidery needle and some  Raspberry Pink Timeless Twine!  I used some gems on the antenna, but drew the head and face.  I used some white frost and metallic raspberry sequins on this project too!  Both of which will be available at Bella Creationz soon!  The paper is from Echo Park Springtime Collection!


The sentiment stamp is from Stampin Up!  And by the way, this card is also based on a sketch from My Favorite Things!

Don't be afraid to try something new!  During this process I realized that it wasn't as hard as I thought and have added several patterns to my to-do pile to give a try!  You just never know what new fun thing you could discover!

Loves Live Here -- Again!

Happy Thursday, everyone -- almost the weekend!  It's Julie today from Muddy Paws & Inky FingersIt's time for Throwback Thursday.
 I switched computers not too long ago, and not all my pictures from previous cards made it on to the new computer, so I looked through old cards until I found what I was looking for.
Here's the remake of the card:
Here's the original:
The stamp is from Unity Stamp Company. The new version of the card was colored with Prismacolor pencils. I made the background paper using a cloud embossing folder, a resist technique, and spray inks.  



Metallic Graphic Gray Sequins -- coming soon

I want to invite you back to Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers blog  March 20-22 for "Julie's Blogoversary Blog Hop."  I've gathered my friends for the 3rd edition of this event.  They'll be lots of inspiration and even more prizes -- including a $20 gift certificate to the Timeless Twine/Bella Creationz store, donated by Stacy. (Thank you Stacy!)
Throwback Thursday = fun!
