I {Heart} Summer

Hello, and happy Monday!  Julie here today from Muddy Paws and Inky fingers.  It IS Summer, isn't it?  Our high temperature for today is supposed to reach 58 degrees.  The high!  Really?  What's with that?  But it is summer, the calendar tells me so!

And, at Timeless Twine this month, we're having all kinds of summer fun!  I love the Sorbet colors being featured this month (they're on s-a-l-e!), and they were great fun to create this little treat box with:

I used lots of great Bella Creationz products on this creation!  

There's a small Kraft tag

I stamped one of the wonderful stamps from the "Hello Summer" stamp set (on sale!) on the tag.

The treat box is a Kraft pinstripe 2x2x2 size.  I covered 5 sides with Pebbles paper from the Lakeside Collection.

 To top it off, I made a small pom pom from the Key Lime Sorbet Timeless Twine, and the whole Sorbet collection is on sale this month!

I'll leave you with one more view of the treat box:

Make sure to visit the Timeless Twine blog all month to see lots of great inspiration from the uber talented team.

We're heading for a high temperature of 70 degrees tomorrow.  Bring on the heat!

Hey Valentine!

Hey Everyone, Kristy here today sharing a couple of cute and fun Valentine's projects. Valentine's is quickly upon us (It's Friday!!) and I know I'm a pro-craftinator and always wait until the last minute to throw those V-day treats together. So, I'm sharing a few quick and easy ideas with you today that should help with those last minute v-days gifts/treats. 

First, I have this super cute Valentine box. For this box, I broke the binding on the box and whipped out the {old school} Quickutz Dies. I placed the die on the front panel and ran it through my Big Shot and I did the same on the back panel as well. I then cut five 1 and 3/8 in panels to cover the top and four sides. I took two of the panels and ran them through the Big Shot with the same die as I cut the panel out with, then I adhered the panels to the outside of the box. I flipped the box over and put some Scor-tape along the edges of the heart on the front and back panel, cut a TON of twine into short strips, and then placed the twine across the heart. The front and back panel both have a twine heart. You can then place a Bath & Body Works mini candle in there, some candy, or some jewelry and then wrap some more twine around and tie it in a bow, or you can add a big fluff of twine on the time like in the picture below. 

Next, I have this super fun treat bag. I took the kraft bags from Bella Creations and stamped random heart images all over the bag. I also used the clear candy treat bags and loaded them with some yummy Valentine colored Sixlets and filled the other one with two pencils. I cut a tag out on my Silhouette using a Scraptastical Kreations SVG file, and I did a print and cut as well. I typed the sentiment out in my Silhouette program and then printed it then cut it out. I then adhered it to the background, punched two holes, and pulled some Timeless Twine Graphite Gray through one hole, wrapped it around the bag and pulled it through the other hole and tied a bow. Easy peasy! 

PS - It does say "Hey Valentine!", but the twine was being uncooperative! 

Here are the items I used for my projects today. 

You can find all of these items over at Bella Creationz.

A Gift for You

Good Morning.

I don't know about you but I love this time of the year.  I think one of my favorite things to see is the reaction on someone's face when they are opening their presents.  I love giving gifts, even if they are small gifts.  I have this cute little box to share with you today.  It is perfect for some Oreo truffles.  Mmmm Oreo's. ;)  Check out my gift box.  

The box is the Kraft Natural Pinstripe Box from Timeless Twine.  To wrap the box I used the Olive Green & Cherry Red Twine.  I thought instead of wrapping the box in wrapping paper I would use the doily as a nice little accent.  I love how everything looks together.    

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a great day!!
