Lucky It's Fun Friday!

Hi Everybody!

Jenny from Crazy About Cricut here, and welcome to Fun Friday!  Today I get to share a project that hopefully will inspire you to try something fun, and different :)  This time I tried combining some burlap with twine!  Here's how it turned out:

*I found this fun tutorial on how to make a Shamrock bow (check that out HERE), and decided that it would look awesome matched up with some Timeless Twine!

*The Solid Orange Twine really pops against the green shamrocks!

*The Olive Green Twine was perfect to embellish the center of the shamrock.

*I used the Metallic Gold Sticker Sheets to cut out the work Lucky.  How perfect is that gold for St. Patty's day??!!!

What's Up, Doc?

Hi Everybody!

Jenny from Crazy About Cricut!  Welcome to 3D Thursday, where we get to highlight this fabulous twine on a project that isn't flat.  How fun is that??!!  Well, I was cruising Pinterest, and came across this cool idea for winding twine on a project from this blog HERE.  I decided to try this idea on a little smaller scale.  Here's how it turned out:

*I started out by taking some packing paper, and shaping it into a cone.

*I put a strip of the adhesive down one side to help hold the twine in place.  I didn't put it all over, because although it dries clear I didn't want any shiny, dry glue showing.

*Then I just wrapped the twine around.

*When it was time to do the carrot stem, I started by wrapping a piece of the double sided tape around the top.

*Next, I wove the Olive Green twine up and down.  To finish it off, I wrapped more Olive Green around and covered up the bottom weaved part.

*After trimming a bit of the top off, the stem was done!

Here is the final product.........

*I love how the Solid Orange twine looks, and added a carrot using the Pumpkin Orange twine for a bit of pop.

*What's Up, Doc??  That bunny is ready to nibble on those delicious lookin' carrots, lol!

*Aren't those the cutest carrots ever??  I like how they're a little bumpy, and look more like real carrots.  It did take a couple of hours to do all 3, but I just sat with some music on, and it was pretty relaxing just sitting and winding twine :)

*I think these will make some fun Easter home decor!

Vintage Gift Wrap

Hi Everybody!
Jenny from Crazy About Cricut here, and I'm excited to be sharing another Timeless Twine design team project with you :O)  Since I have 4 young kids, I always tend to wrap things geared for the "younger generation".  I decided to try wrapping a gift with an "adult" vibe to it.  

Although my mom know's why she ends up with presents in Elmo wrapping paper, I thought I'd give her a treat this year!  (Plus she's always drooled over the gorgeous twine in my projects!)  Here's how it turned out:

*Timeless Twine - Black Kraft twine

*Art Philosophy  Cricut cartridge

*Papercrafting World - vintage graphic

*kraft wrapping paper (from the Dollar Tree)

*Stampin' Up! - Cranberry Crisp ink, Chocolate Chip ink (for inking around the gift)

*vintage button from my stash

*dark brown cardstock, dark red cardstock - from my stash

*I also inked the edges of the gift with the cranberry, and chocolate chip ink for a little punch to the kraft wrapping paper.

*This vintage flower button was the perfect touch for this color scheme :)

I hope you liked my project!  This was a little out of my comfort zone, but I was happy with how it turned out :)

Don't forget, Timeless Twine is having a design team call!  You can find out all the details HERE.  TFL, and have a twine-tastic day!

Basket Weave Card

Hi Everybody!
Jenny from Crazy About Cricut here, and I'm excited to be sharing another design team project with you :O)  All my kids are in school or napping, so I actually have a couple of hours to play during the day!  So I decided to try a weaving technique using the best twine :)  Here are the details:

*Timeless Twine - Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Olive Green, Cherry Red

*Jaded Blossom - Feeling Fruity stamp set (sentiment)

*Preserves Cricut cartridge - strawberries

*Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge - basket

*My Mind's Eye, Stampin' Up! - patterned paper

*Recollections - brown cardstock

*To create the weaving on the basket, I first ran a strip of adhesive down.

*Then I took a few strands of Kraft twine at a time and created rows.

*Next I ran another strip of adhesive parallel to the other.

*I took a few strands of Chocolate Chip twine at a time, and weaved them through the Kraft twine going over, under, over, under, etc.

 *For the strawberries, I put adhesive on both sides of the cut and wrapped some Cherry Red twine around it.

*I used Olive Green twine for the "stems".

*To divide the "happy" and "birthday" a little better, I hung a few extra spiders in between.
