Cards made easy using Bella Creationz newest products



Hi Bev here today.
At Bella Creationz today I am having so much fun with their new products
and am happy to share 2 cards today.
Up first is the Hello card. It started with the embossing of the new gold metallic sticker 
sheet to fit the size of the card base.
The background base was spiratically inked and then stamped using both ink and glossy accents in opposite corner twice to outer corners leaving room for the embossed piece.
Twine was wrapped around 3 times and then after lightly tracing the word Hello I glued twine
to cover and say Hello.
For finishing touches I added both star and circular sequins.

Supply List:
Base card: misc
Paper: Bella Creationz Gold Metallic Sticker sheet
Twine: Bella Creationz Black Kraft bakers Timeless twine
Stamp: Bella Creationz Camera Stamp clear set
Embossing Folder: Sizzix
Ink: Tim Holtz ranger
Glossy Accents: ranger






*********************************************

For my 2nd simple, easy and fun card I used a stamp but inked it with 3 shades on a base card.
Notice I offset this part of the image.


After that I ink stamped a butterfly and sentiment.


To the right side I matched a cardstock panel close in colour to the inked image.
I wrapped solid twine to centre and on either outer edge wrapped with varigated twine.
The butterfly then needed a flight path made from some twine,
This is a simple but elegant style card and easy to make.

Saturday with Sequins

Happy Saturday, Friends.  Karen N here from Craftily Yours!

Today, I'm sharing a FUN Sequin Saturday card!  I LoVe sequins!  I was SO excited when Bella Creationz started to carry them.  They add such fun and sparklies!  Without further ado, here's what I did!



I love this ladybug fairy from Unity Stamp Company.  She's a big stamp, so adding pattern paper around her would be difficult.  Problem solved, add sequins!  These sequins from Bella Creationz are in Raspberry Pink and White Frost (coming soon).  The card is finished off with a smidge of Timeless Twine in Lemonade Yellow.   

Hope my card inspires you to have a FUN and COLORFUL weekend! 

Craftily yours,

Karen

Fun Friday!

Here it is.......FRIDAY!!  Hey there, it's Jenni from Wish I Was Scrappin!  It's my turn at Fun Friday!  Fun Friday is all about trying new things and jumping outside your comfort zone!  This was a hard one for me!  If I'm not comfortable, I usually pass it up!  The search was on!  I've always wanted to try string art, but thought it would be too difficult!  My dad made a beautiful string art way back in the day using nails and string and it was gorgeous!


So on a smaller scale than the artwork my dad created, I've chosen a smaller design and cardstock!  I printed the pattern, traced the dots and grabbed an embroidery needle and some  Raspberry Pink Timeless Twine!  I used some gems on the antenna, but drew the head and face.  I used some white frost and metallic raspberry sequins on this project too!  Both of which will be available at Bella Creationz soon!  The paper is from Echo Park Springtime Collection!


The sentiment stamp is from Stampin Up!  And by the way, this card is also based on a sketch from My Favorite Things!

Don't be afraid to try something new!  During this process I realized that it wasn't as hard as I thought and have added several patterns to my to-do pile to give a try!  You just never know what new fun thing you could discover!

Loves Live Here -- Again!

Happy Thursday, everyone -- almost the weekend!  It's Julie today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. It's time for Throwback Thursday.
 I switched computers not too long ago, and not all my pictures from previous cards made it on to the new computer, so I looked through old cards until I found what I was looking for.
Here's the remake of the card:
Here's the original:
The stamp is from Unity Stamp Company. The new version of the card was colored with Prismacolor pencils. I made the background paper using a cloud embossing folder, a resist technique, and spray inks.  



Metallic Graphic Gray Sequins -- coming soon

I want to invite you back to Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers blog  March 20-22 for "Julie's Blogoversary Blog Hop."  I've gathered my friends for the 3rd edition of this event.  They'll be lots of inspiration and even more prizes -- including a $20 gift certificate to the Timeless Twine/Bella Creationz store, donated by Stacy. (Thank you Stacy!)
Throwback Thursday = fun!

To Die For Wednesday

Hi friends, Happy Wednesday!
Padni from Paper Flavour is here.
I choose to use circle die-cuts for this "To Die for Wednesday" layout, combined them with pretty twines from Timeless Twine and lovely sequins from Bella Creationz. I use papers from Elle's Studio and Amy Tangerine. So far I really love the color combination when I see the end result.

I was thinking to add something unique for this layout and I got an idea to flex the edges of all the circle. Like my previous layouts, I play with twines and cheering up this layout with adding sequins.




Here are the supplies I use :


Aqua and Lime Green Bakers Twine by Timeless Twine - Key Lime Sorbet

Clearly Beautiful Loose Mixed Sequins

Have a great day, all. And don't forget to play and create more with pretty products from Bella Creationz!

Yellow, My Friend!

Happy Monday!  Ashley here, from Marine Wife's Scrappin' Life, and it's Monochrome Monday here at Timeless Twine.  I don't use yellow very much, so I thought I'd pull out some of my yellow stuff to come up with a bright and cheerful card.

Happy PlanNerd Sunday

Hi everyone, Maria here from Maria Lina's Creative Designs. I'm happy to be back with another post using Bella Creationz-  planNerd and planNerd 2 stamp sets. I have yet to learn what works best for me as far as decorating my planner, but one thing I know for sure is that I like is using these stamp sets. 

The planner I have is an Erin Condren Life Planner, but these stamps can easily work on a variety of planners from Filofax and Kikki to whatever you may be using. 

I have posted a YouTube video on my blog, so please feel free to stop by and check it out, it includes a quick tip on how to stamp without bleeding through to your next page.

 Also I want to give a quick "thank you" to my DT sister Cathy, who gave me a bit of inspiration on her last planNerd Sunday Post!

Enjoy...

Sequin Shaker Saturday


Hi Bev here today with the a Sequin Shaker that is just too cute.... and easy to make.
along with Scrapbooking Stamp Society products to create my Sequin Shaker.

Supply List:
Plastic (shaped) cover left over from a purchase. Mine is the container to rolled foam.
There are many other options from toys and many other household purchases.
Paper for background - Paper House Nature PP-0036
Centre image, sticker or sentiment depending on theme of the shaker. Scrapbook Stamp Society/Sherri Baldy My-Besties 1" bottlecap Images
Ink: Tim Holtz ranger
Glue: Beacon 3-in-1
Other: flowers



Here is my plastic cover from rolled foam purchase. 


Estimate the circular size of background base, make the paper slightly smaller
and estimate the image size. Precute them all.



Adhere the paper to background base. Ink all edges for depth.
The centre of my plastic is going to be glued down tight on image so
 loosely place the sequins in the outer edge without going into outer band where
the plastic cover will be glued on top.


The glue for mine is on the outer white edge to keep the sequins in but also
added glue to outer white edge of image where it was flat and I didn't 
want the image to be covered with sequins. 
This will all be different if you use a full open plastic cover. (alter to suit your own person piece)


I used many rounds of twine which I glued on and tied a bow.


In the close up you can see things better and also note the fun floral accents used to finish it off.
Wouldn't this be cute hanging on a wall or from the door knob of a little girls room.

Thanks for visiting..  come again.... please.

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??!!!

I hope you enjoyed my project!  Make sure to check back daily for more inspiration from the design team.  TFL, and hope everyone has a chance to craft today :)
