Happy Birthday Box of Letters

Hi there, Maria here from Maria Lina's Creative Designs. For my next challenge, I was to create a project using the colors of the inspiration photo posted below....blue, orange, red and yellow. July is a very busy month around here for birthdays, one of them being my husbands. So I came up with the idea of making this box for heartfelt letters from myself and the kids, the notes are light enough that I made a twine handle to hold the box. 

 

I bought the svg file from svgcuts.com "Country Market", in the video Mary gives the option to add lights to the arrow, in this case I did not. The twine that was used is the Cherry Red, Pumpkin Orange, Lemonade Yellow and Aqua Blue. The papers used are from K&Company and the brads and eyelets are from Recollections.

 

Enjoy...

Oh Snap! A Tutorial

Greetings, fellow twine lovers!  Julie here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.  Today is "Technique Tuesday". I'm showing off what I call "the lazy crafter's guide to pom-poms".  All you need is a couple fingers.  Let me explain!

First, the finished project:

Below, is a photo box.  It holds 4-6 pictures.

Like that little pom?  Here's how I did it...

Wrap the Timeless Twine around 2 fingers.  I used Lemonade Yellow on this pom-pom. (sorry it's blurry.  I had to take the pic with my SLR and 1 hand)

 Next, take a piece of twine and fit it between your 2 fingers.  This will be used to tie off your pom.  I leave it a bit longer than I think I'll need, just in case.

Work your fingers loose, then tie your knot securely.

Cut the loops apart.

Then, all that's left is to trim everything to a similar length and give it a bit of a fluff.

Happy Thursday, everyone -- almost the weekend!  It's Julie today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. It'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.

Yellow, My Friend!

Happy Monday!  Ashley here, from Marine Wife's Scrappin' Life, and it's Monochrome Monday here at Timeless Twine.  I don't use yellow very much, so I thought I'd pull out some of my yellow stuff to come up with a bright and cheerful card.

I'm really happy with the way this turned out!
