Adventuresome Us

Hi There!  Karen N here from Craftily Yours.  This month, here at Timeless Twine, we are mixing it up a bit.  Rather than having a theme, we are creating different kinds of projects.  How fun is that?!

I chose to do a lay-out for today's post.  My hubby and I are avid boaters.  So, a funny and strange thing about me is that I'm scared of going over bridges.  If it weren't so dangerous, I'd close my eyes across them every time.  Wellll, when you are a boater, you get to go UNDER the bridge....and somehow I am totally fascinated by them.

One of the prettiest bridges in my area is the Tower Bridge near Old Sacramento.  It's gold and shiny, and I have hundreds of pictures of it.  I decided to scrap one of them along with a pic of the hubs and me.


I used the new stampset from Bella Creationz to embellish it with the arrow and the camera (love this set).....and of course, I added some Timeless Twine in Lemonade Yellow and Aqua Blue.



Thanks for stopping by today!  Hope you have a terrific day!

Craftily yours,

Karen

Timeless Twine 'Mini' fun!


Hi everyone! Tara here. We are having some mix-up fun here on the Timeless Twine blog and my post is a 'mini' project! Mini clothespins are adorable on their own but I gave these cuties a make-over! There are so many ways to dress up mini clothespins and they are great little embellishments for so many craft projects!



Of course, as this is a Twine-ista project, I had to cover a clothespin with twine! I actually cut some heavy card stock a bit narrower than the pin and covered that with the twine. Otherwise, it would have been way too bulky! A few sequins add a bit of glimmer!




The next clothespin is dressed up with stamped images! Brightly colored arrows were stamped on card stock and topped with more brightly colored mini hearts! All of these images are from the new Oh Snap stamp set from Bella Creationz.  Super simple but super cute!


Lastly, this one is covered in a fun chevron pattern washi tape! Because this washi tape has a white background, I layered two strips together for a brighter look. With all of the gorgeous washi tape out there, the transformations are endless!


Hope you enjoyed this fun project and are inspired to dress up your own clothespins!

Whatever the Weather

Woohoo! It's the weekend! Thanks for taking time from your busy Saturday schedule to visit the Timeless Twine blog.  It's Julie here today. We're mixing it up this month, with the designers bringing you different themes.  I was lucky enough to get a "card" theme for today. However, to challenge myself, I tried a technique I've never used before.  
First, the card:

Soft, subtle spring time colors.  Ah, just what I've been craving.  And, an umbrella! We still need snow shovels where I live -- we got 10 inches of snow yesterday!  Yeesh! But, back to the card.  I tried a new technique (for me), using the negative space from the diecut, and filling the space with 2 colors of Timeless Twine -- Aqua Blue and Cherry Red.
Here's a close up of the sentiment...


These new  Bella Creationz Spring colored sequins were the perfect finishing touch for this card. They come in Aqua, Pink, and Lime Green.










Papers used were a Jillibean Soup 6x6 pad, Southern Chicken Dumpling Soup.  The petite umbrella die is by Memory Box. The sentiment is by Unity Stamp Company.
Make sure you visit each day this month for tons of fun and inspiration from the Timeless Twine design team.

Bunny Bags

Happy Friday!!!

Hey there, Ruthie here! So today is my dt day here on the blog. I saw these super cute bunny bags on Pinterest, a week or so back.  I needed some quick and easy treats for client, so I thought I would try making them.
12-12
I used the Small White Kraft Bags and the Raspberry Lemonade from the store. I had some pink tissue paper, so I used that for inside the ears and I also added a small tag with a sentiment. They're filled with chocolate eggs.
11-11
Aren't they so cute!!!
Here is the link to the tutorial & template. If you print the template, at 75% it fits the bags perfectly.
