☆♡{A Stitch With Twine}♡☆

It's Thursday and time for me to share another Timeless Twine post with you. ♡

Easter has already come and admist all of the celebrating, there are two goofy dogs who love hard boiled eggs.

Much to their dismay, Daddy and Paddy ate the two cracked eggs that were reserved for them. Not to be outdone, Cinna and Meg skulked around the kitchen, skimming the countertops with sniffy noses..hoping to catch wind of the eggs.

These goofy dogs were soon banished so that anual egg coloring could commence. The picture in the layout displays hope filled, pouting dogs...the latter being the funniest part of all.

It's all about the title on this layout. This is a fun way to make a big impact. You can add a personal touch to your layouts, using your own handwriting.

The first thing you need to do is write out what you'd like to get across..whether it's a word, a phrase, a number, etc.

The next step is to use a paper piercer and pierce what you wrote out. You know what comes next of course, stitching it. That's the lengthy part, but it's worth it.

You can stitch it right onto the page, card, etc. or do what I did and use a separate piece of paper and then later adhere it to your project. 

Check out the layout and the twine ♡ I used Graphite Gray to stitch the title, you can find it by clicking *{HERE}*

*{Timeless Twine Thursday?}*

This is new for me, usually I am bringing you Timeless Twine posts on Tuesdays..my eye may be twitching as I type this. I am so used to bringing you Timeless Twine on Tuesdays that this seems weird and foreign to me. I will prevail through the post though, with sunshine and smiles.

The neat thing about this post is that you will notice that each day, there's something new for you on the blog...switching things up a bit always brings a freshness, an enthusiasm, a mojo if you will.

I created a layout for this post highlighting how a some simple stitches can make a lot of impact. Sometimes, less is in fact more. 
Mackenzie...where do I begin? She is amazing, despite at times, being slightly scary and terribly aloof. Nor is she afraid to let you know just how awesome she is. As you can see...she is better than you, it is now documented forever, for everyone to take note. ❤

Gift Card Holders

Mandi, here with a cute way to give gift cards. I can't believe it is that time of the year all ready and to help you with the gift wrapping all month long the twine-istas are going to share with you fun and creative ways to jazz up packages.
Both of my holders are made out of felt, decorated with twine and odds & ends. 
The first one I and going to share with you is a little time consuming since I did the blanket stitch by hand. I created a little bag with felt and decorated until my heart was content. I covered the entire back of the doily with adhesive before I stuck it on. Then I add some glitter  and brush of the excess that didn't stick in the doily holes. For the closure I used brads and wrapped twine around them.
For a faster and just as cute holder I wrapped felt around the card and tied it with cherry red twine. I add a couple bells as an added cute factor.
Hope this help you with those pesky gift cards that we all don't want to give in a plain envelope.
Items I used Natural, Cherry Red, Olive Green twines and a doily.

Stitching and Smiles :)

Hello Twine-tastic Friends!

Melissa here with a fun stitched card. I used some stencils and Strawberry Truffle twine!

I don't have a sewing machine so I love, love, love hand stitching on cards. It's not the fastest, but just put on some crafty YouTube videos and stitch away!

A Stitchy Hello!

Hello Twintastic Peeps!

Melissa here with a simple but super fun card. I picked up these dies that poke holes for hand stitching! Love!


So fun! Although time consuming (this took about an hour to stitch), I think it's so fun! And relaxing, just put a show on!

I used Raspberry Pink twine and just separated the colors (white and pink).
