Happy New Year...Card, Tag and More

Hi there, Maria here from Maria Lina's Creative Designs, as of today this will be my last post for Timeless Twine and Bella Creationz. It's been an amazing year working with Stacy, Deb and the Design Team. Thank you girls for making this a fun loving year, we've made great friendships and I will continue to be inspired by you!!! 

Christmas will soon be here, but shortly after is New Year's Eve, which will be welcoming us into the New Year. For most of us, it's Party Time and in my case, I've been invited to one... so what better way to celebrate than to bring a wonderful personalized gift to your Hostess. I decided I would bring some Champaign, a gift bag with an "over the top" game to play and a fun shaker card.

Enjoy...

For the shaker card...
I used the "Holiday Sentiments" stamp set from Bella Creationz and from MFT the Die-namics pierced rectangle frames die. For the inside a combination gold sequins with mini micro beads and stars, some white flower soft for the snow and I embossed the background with a swirl embossing folder.

For the gift bag...
I used "Solid Black" Timeless Twine to hang the bells from the tag, from Bella Creationz I used a small tag that I covered with the gold metallic sticker sheet and a smaller tag that I heat embossed in black, for the hole I used a gold reinforcement sticker. The stamped sentiment is from the "Holiday Sentiments" stamp set. I also used a scalloped die, to cut the center of the smaller tag and added foam tape behind it.
 

For the final touch, I personalized the Champaign bottle with her last initial. To match the gift bag I used a gold metallic sticker sheet from Bella Creationz and  the center of the gold reinforcement stickers for the circles on the black cardstock and finally I had to add a huge metallic bow.

Looking forward to celebrating the New Year!!!

Swatch Book Idea

Happy Friday!!!

Hey there! It's Ruthie again!  So a couple weeks ago I went to Michael's to do some retail therapy and when I got home, I realized that I already had three of the items that I purchased. Darn! That means I had to take another trip back to Michael's... now this could be a good thing, but I was not looking forward to driving back to the store that night. Well, today I am going to show you a quick and easy tip to stay organized and help keep track of products that you already have.  

I have most of the Color Shine sprays by Heidi Swapp. I love them and use them often, but I always forget what they look like once they are dry. I thought it would be a good idea to make a swatch book of all the colors that I have, so it could be used as an quick/easy reference when I am working on projects and when I go to the store to pick up new colors. :)

I grabbed some of the small white tags from the Timeless Twine Store, wrote a Color Shine color name on the back of each one, and then sprayed the front with that Color Shine color. Once they were dry I strung them together with a bit of Tuxedo Twine. Now I have something to reference the colors by while I am working on projects. I can also grab it and take it with me to the store, to make sure I don't purchase a color that I already have. 

This idea would work with ink pad colors as well.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Sweet On You!

Hello everyone and welcome to Monday, Brianna here from Happy Scrapper! If you didn't already know, this month the twine-istas will be sharing 3D Valentine projects with you all. I am going to kick off my first post for this month, by sharing a bag I altered.  

I decided to paper pierce my bag and do a scalloped crochet edge on it using my absolute favorite twine, Strawberry Cupcake. I didn't follow a pattern, I just SC down the bag, then turned, did four DC in first SC, SS in next SC, skip stitch and repeat.

SC: Single Crochet

DC: Double Crochet

SS: Slip Stitch

I put a Spellbinders die, cut side up, inside my bag and ran through my eBosser (thanks Dad & Mom, yes my dad does read my blogpost) :) to cut out the circle. I than placed the same circular die inside a larger scallop die by spellbinders to cut out the glittery circular frame. I put a piece of clear acetate on the inside of bag & adhered it down, so the candies wont fall out. The bag was filled with chocolates, but before pictures, my peanut and I got hungry :)

Items used from store:

Small Brown Kraft Bags

Small Gift Tags-White

Strawberry Cupcake

Sequins Mixed

All my stamps used on my bag are by Peachy Keen Stamps.

Thank you all for stopping by and taking a peek at my altered gift bag, also be sure to head over to yesterdays post and check out our Simply White blog hop, if you haven't already, this new twine is just perfect and so are all the creations made with it!!
