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!

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'!!!

Celebrating Special Women

Hello, everyone, Julie here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. Yesterday was Mother's Day, and although my own mother has been gone for over 9 years now, there are still plenty of women in my life that I like to celebrate.  

   This project is the perfect example of how just a little bit of twine can have a big impact.  But, back to those special women...  There are several women who live in the nursing home where I work that are very special to me.  I tell them they are "like a mother to me."  I needed something I could make a few of, in a relatively short period of time, that would look special, but whip up quick.  Enter my Silhouette, favorite papers, ribbon, and Timeless Twine.

I found this Floral Envelope Bag by Jamie Cripps in the Silhouette Online Store.  I thought it would work well for what I wanted -- I could tuck a tag inside, telling the ladies how much they meant to me, and I could make several of them fairly quickly.

I used Fancy Pants Park Bench 12x12 papers, 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon, and of course, a bit of Timeless Twine in Aqua Delight.

I have a close up of the rose.  I have some shimmer paper I purchased at a Scrapbook store that's going out of business. You can see the shimmer better in the close up, and the Timeless Twine, too ;)

I hope all you mom's had a beautiful Mother's Day yesterday, and to all you women out there, know that you are one-of-a-kind individuals, and that's certainly worth a celebration!
