Decorated Photo box

Debbie from Craftin' Chaos here. As you are reading this I am on a beach somewhere basting in the warmth of the sun! But i am still showcasing projects for this month. I made this crazy looking decoration. I had originally planned to make a kraft box to put it on and I think it would have made it stand out more but I just couldn't get it all done. I liked the aqua/black combo.

I made a button flair that mimicked the graph design on the aqua paper underneath it. I decided to just make it for a decorated up photo box. I used a pretty pink posh photo strip die for the area below it and even though you can't tell it that is silver foil paper behind it. I also used the silver foil on one of the sqiggly arrows. The angle I took the picture does not show it off but the button catches so much glare I had to leave it like this. I could take 100 pictures and still not be happy with them and I can not afford the time right now so I took the ones I thought looked good and kept them.

I layered this with lots of texture. The kraft paper is a more textured kraft that I normally use and then I cut some leaf shaped burlap. That stuff frays like crazy. I popped some curls of Timeless Twine Natural twine behind it to add to the texture. I might end up cutting those tails down on the black flags but for now it is done!

"Love" Valentine's Card

Hi everyone, Maria here from Maria Lina's Creative Designs, I'm glad to share with you my first DT post of the year. First, I must say I'm so happy to be a new Design Team member for Bella Creationz & Timeless Twine and I love the group I will be working with throughout this coming year.

For today's project, I couldn't help but want to make a Valentine's shaker card, I never made a shaker card before not to mention, the use of sequins... where have I been, right? I have to say I so enjoyed it, what fun I've been missing.

As silly as it might be, I did try to give the illusion of the arrow piercing through the heart and releasing all of the sequins as though it were the blood. I used "Bubblegum Pink" twine and several colors of sequins "Metallic Poppy Pink", "Metallic Plum Purple" and "White Frost". I cut the heart from SVG Cuts kit "For My Valentine", the word Love is from SVG Cutting Files "Love Ewe" and the arrow is from my SCAL 3 library.

Until the next time, please enjoy...

December Daily Pocket Scrapbooking Page

Hi ya'll!

I'm Amber from Best Stamped Intentions and I'm SUPER excited to spend a year on this team!  Wonderful ladies to work with and amazing product that I get to get my grubby hands on.  It really doesn't get much better than this!!

Even though it's January, I know that some (most? ;)) of you are still finishing up your 2014 edition of December Daily.  

No judgement here!!  I barely just finished 2013 mid December THIS YEAR!!  Better late than never, right?? :)

Today, I'm going to share days 1 - 8 from my DD out of my family album.

I chose to do mine differently this year.  Instead of creating a full mini album as I did last year, I am inserting it right into my pocket album.

I chose Doodlebug's "Santa Express" as the base for this project.  I'm in LOVE with the bright colors and Timeless Twine accents and matches perfectly with it!!!

Throughout the course of this year, I'm going to show you how easy and {CUTE} it is to use Twine in your pocket spreads.  It adds so much to your LO's.  

Here's my full spread:
You can click on each image to open it up bigger to see all of the detail!


And, a quick collage of all of the cards that include twine, sequins or stamps from Timeless Twine/Bella Creationz.


I hope you enjoyed looking at my project as much as I enjoyed making it.  You can hop over to my blog to see each card in more detail.

Live Laugh Love

Hey guys! My name is Padni from Paper Flavour, I lived in Jakarta, Indonesia. So glad finally I can play with pretty twines from Timeless Twine. This is my first post as Creative Crew and I feel so excited.

This time I use photo of my baby boy, Timothy. After become a mother, my life become more colourful, especially my scrapbook projects always full with Timothy's pictures everywhere, including in this layout. I love to make a single scrapbook page and adding some twines surely will make the layout more stunning! Don't you agree with me?





I used papers and tags from Elle's Studio and the most important thing is the supply I used from Timeless Twine! You can purchase this pretty twines here :

My First Bella Creationz project!

I am very excited to be a new Creative Crew member for Timeless Twine/Bella Creationz!  I have used many of their products this past year and have fallen in love with so many things!  If you are a frequent visitor to my blog, you know I like to make 3D items and gifts. Stacy has the cutest little packages to help me create the perfect gift.

To start off, I created 2015 calendar gift for my BFF.  I found the calendar as a free printable from Pinterest.  I printed it out and trimmed it to the size I wanted. Then I created a little booklet to hold all the months.


The cover features a doily, sequins and twine from Bella Creationz/Timeless Twine.



Six months will store on either side of the booklet.



You can use a small picture holder if you want to display on your desk or even pin it on your 
bulletin board.

My BFF is not as "blingy" as me :), so I didn't add more sequins to the individual months!

Here is a quick video showing you how I put this together. 



If you like this video, give it a "thumbs up" on YouTube.




Ready for some fun???  Head over to:
to find the best embellishments, twine and other FUN,
things for your next project!

With Gratitude

Karen N here from Craftily Yours.  Recently, my family went through something hard.  When stressful times come, crafting keeps my sanity.  My sister-in-law asked me to get some thank you cards, so she could send them out to people who had shown her kindness.  "Get" some?  As in "buy"?  Ummm.....no.  Instead I made six of these!



So much fun to color and embellish!  And what better way to embellish than with some GORGEOUS Timeless Twine?  It comes in so many beautiful colors; Pumpkin Orange was perfect for these cards, don't you think?!  The paper is from Websters Pages, and the image and sentiment are from Unity.

Craftily yours,

Karen

My name is Jenni Shamblin with Wish I Was Scrappin!  My first project has a winter-y theme, although winter in Florida isn't too bad!  Not much snow happening here!

I want Peace (and chocolate)

Hello, everyone!  It's Julie here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.  I get to be the first Twine-ista of 2015 to post on the blog.  Yea! Since it's so early in the New Year, I thought I'd share my new year's resolution with all of you.
This year, in an attempt to actually keep it for a change, I've resolved to eat MORE chocolate.  Yes!  I think I can keep this one.
This sentiment, from Unity Stamp Company, was the perfect fit for my resolution. Of course, Timeless Twine and Bella Creationz products tie the whole card together.
You'll see!


I cut the tag out on my Cricut Expression 2, using the Close To My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge on Close To My Heart Kraft card stock. Then, I stamped the Chocolate Bar sentiment. I used American Crafts Hot Cocoa 6x6 papers on this card.
The baker's twine is Cherry Red. 
The sequins are Clearly Beautiful Loose Mixed Sequins.



There will be a whole year of great inspiration from this year's Creative Crew so make sure to visit each day!
I'm off to eat more chocolate -- see you soon!
