Shake it Up!

Hello!  This is Cathy from

Mimi's Craft Corner.

I'm part of the Creative Crew for

Timeless Twine & BellaCreationz!

I almost get giddy when I

see I am scheduled for 

Sequin Shaker  Saturday

at Bella Creationz & Timeless Twine.

I love making shaker cards!  I made

this one use a die with my Cuttlebug

machine, but if you have a Silhouette

or Cricut, you can do the same thing.

I used the Sparkly Clear Sequins and

mixed in a few Martha Stewart little stars.

The background is my second attempt at

water coloring.  I still have more work to do

but it's fun trying!

I hope you try your hand

at making a shaker card soon!

They are so much fun!

Fun Friday!

Happy Friday, everyone!  Ashley here from Marine Wife's Scrappin' Life for Fun Friday.  I have to apologize first off, because I completed my projects then realized just a few moments before posting that I was supposed to use a particular stamp set this month.  I'm so sorry, guys!!!

For Fun Friday this week, I decided to make mortarboard tassels with Timeless Twine, as I needed a couple of graduation cards and had never made tassels for a card.  I think they turned out pretty cute!

It's a little hard to see, but the twine is wrapped around a black brad in the center of the "mortarboard."

Supplies Used

Black brads--stash

Cuttlebug embossing folders

Timeless Twine in Cherry Red and Tuxedo Black

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great weekend everyone!

Oh Snap - It's Fun Friday!

While I love making Mini Albums and

other time consuming things, what I think is

the MOST fun is making a simple card!

Hi! This is Cathy from the Creative Crew

at Timeless Twine & Bella Creationz!

Simple card making is something that is

more than fun to me, it's relaxing.  I don't 

have to think too hard and it seems that everyone

loves the thoughtfulness that goes into a 

handmade card.  I also want to share

my love of simple card making with everyone 

and I think if my projects are too challenging,

people may give up before they start AND they

think "this is too expensive, I'll just go buy a card"

Whoa! Where is the fun in that?

My card only has two layers on top of the card base.

I did add a layer of foam to pop up the tulips, but other

than that, it's a pretty simple card.  My tulips

are embossed with my Cuttlebug and then I chalked them

for a soft look.  I used a sentiment from the 

OH SNAP set from BellaCreationz.

Adding Timeless Twine and Sequins

are almost always a given!

I tried to show you the glitz on the tulips!  I used

my Wink of Stella brush to add a little zip!

When you look at this stamp set you probably

think photo albums, mini albums, project life

but I saw OH SNAP and knew it needed

to be on a card.  I hope you

like my FUN card on this FUN FRIDAY!

Thanks for stopping!

Throwback Thursday with Timeless Twine!

Hello!  This is Cathy from Mimis Craft Corner and

I am very excited to share with

you today a card I created using 

Timeless Twine & Bella Creationz products!

For Throwback Thursday, we ask that

you go back to your PAST craft projects and

remake them today with a few twists and turns.

Here is my Throwback from 2012

I LOVE black and white cards, but I also love this

layout.  It's a combination of patterned paper and

an insert at the bottom that I ran through

the Cuttlebug.  The two papers are separated

by a piece of ribbon.  I love this format and could

make this card over and over and it will never be the

same.  Here's my updated card for today:

I added paper from the First Edition Spring Drop paper pad.

I also used my all time fav punch of Martha Stewart to

separate the two layers.

I added some sequins and 

Key Lime Sorbet

Timeless Twine.

The sequins are coming soon to

BellaCreationz!

Keep in mind the Sorbet Collection is

on SALE all month!

Have a wonderful Spring day!

Monochromatic Monday with a POP of Green!

March!  Yippee -- in Indiana we can

start thinking GREEN!

Hello this is Cathy from Mimi's Craft Corner

and I'm designing today for 

Timeless Twine and Bella Creationz.

St. Patty's Day is just around

the corner, so in it's honor

I made a set of my favorite 3x3 cards.

Keeping with the Monochromatic Challenge, my 

white card base is 6x3 along with another

layer of white cut at 2 7/8 x 2 7/8.

I ran that layer through my Cuttlebug for

some dimension.

I added a shamrock die cut and sentiment

from My Creative Time.  The sentiment

is stamped on a small label that I 

cut with my Silhouette.  Just a hint, I cut

out an entire 12x12 sheet of 4 different

sizes of labels in white.  I have them in a

little photo box and can reach for them anytime

I need something special.

I did ink around very lightly with Tim Holtz

Distress ink on the label to make it stand out.

To finish off my card, I added 

Timeless Twine and Bella Creationz Sequins

I can't get enough of these

Sparkly Clear Sequins.

You cannot believe how many projects you 

will get out of your packet!

The Olive Green Twine is on SALE!

Don't wait on this one.  This is a staple

color you will use time and time again!

Thank you for stopping by!

I will be back shortly with another fun

post for Planner Sunday!  Don't miss it!

I'm loving my planners - yes I have more than one!
