New things are happening here!

Hey peeps! Deb here with Bugjuiced and our theme for the entire month is "NEW" so that can be a "new" technique, "new" product, "new" style....well you get the jist. We have a "NEW" team with a few familiar faces and some new ones for you to get to know as well.  So today I chose to use a new technique. Stacy the owner of Told me how she made these awesome flowers she did for one of our new releases and I loved them. I chose to use mine in a different way but you can see what I did with mine below.

Two of the three projects below are using the flower. The third project is a new product for me. Its from the BellaCreationz store as well as the two boxes below. I will link all the product at the bottom of this post.

I will be doing a tutorial on this soon. I had some malfunctions with the video camera and regular camera while making these. I tried to film it several times and a camera may or may not have been whirled through the air and a few choice words were said. (bad camera now go back into your bag and think about what you have done) I was over it. This video thing is not so easy.

But look for some tutorials to come from our team. It will be a fun way to show you how to use your twine in ways you may not have thought about. I love to come up with something different to do.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing your day with us!

LOVE Mini Album

Hey Everyone!!

Kristy here from Scraptastical Kreations and I'm going to be sharing bits and pieces of my new en-devour; a mini album. I have always LOVED mini albums, but I have always been intimidated by them. So, this year I'm putting my mind to trying new things and this is one of them! {**Confession**} I LOVE making them! I don't know what I was so scared about to begin with, but man-o-man, I was really missing out! However, I have not completed the whole album as of yet, but I will have it done very soon. I will be sharing the entire album via You Tube, as well as on my blog if you would like to see the finished product be sure to stop by and follow my personal blog. So, let's get to it and take a peek!

This is the inside cover of the album. 

This is the first page in the album 

Now we're going to flip the page; this is the left side. 

I have a little more to add to this side, but I ran into a roadblock and had to walk away for a bit. 

Here's the right side 

Now you want to know all the fabulous Timeless Twine and Bella Creations goodies I used on these mini album pages? LOTS! 

Glassine Bags 3" x 5.5"

I used these on the inside of the front cover to hold the tags/photo mats. 

Bubble Gum Pink - Timeless Bakers Twine

This is used on the first page of the album on the top note die-cut. Perfect touch! 

4" Paper Lace Doilies

Also used these on the first page as well. I spritzed them with some mist, let dry and cut them into quarters. I added them to the corners of the first page. 

Graphite Gray Timeless Bakers Twine

I used the Graphite Gray on the left side of the second page to hold the charm. 

Valentine's Day Timeless Bakers Twine

Cherry Red Timeless Bakers Twine

Both of the Valentine's Day twine and the Cherry Red twine will be used through out the entire album, as they match my paper and theme perfectly. 

Well, that's all for now. I hope I have inspired everyone to try something new this year! Don't let those things you THINK you cannot do get the best of you. You can do it, so go for it and step outside of that comfort zone and go for it!

 Don't forget to stop by and follow my personal blog if you would like to see the completed mini album. Thanks for stopping by today to peek at my project. I hope you all have a twine-tastic day!! 

Hugs, 

Kristy 

Friendships are Sewn one Stitch at a Time

Good Monday morning, crafty friends! Julie here from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. I'm so excited for my first Timeless Twine post!  Yeah! I'm a Twine-ista! The theme this month is "something new". That "something new" can be a new technique, a new product from the store, or a new tool we use while making our project.  Well, I'll point out quite a few "new" things while showing you my project for today.

I used a cutting file from The Cutting Cafe I had never used before to make this sewing machine box.  Let me show you the other side of the box:

From this side, you can really see the Timeless Twine Baker's Twine in Raspberry Pink better. 

Would you like to see what's inside the box?

More new twine!  There's some Cape Cod Timeless Twine and some gorgeous new Key Lime Sorbet Timeless Twine.  There's also a couple of spools of lace in the box from Webster's Pages. I made this box as a Christmas present for a friend who is a quilter and sewer.  I thought she'd appreciate some spools of lace, along with the ever-fun Timeless Twine.  I even made the spools that the twine and lace are on -- another new thing for me. 

Here's the twine colors I used:

For more details about this sewing machine treat box, and to see what else I've been creating, please visit my blog.

I had a great time making this sewing machine box for my good friend and showing it to you.  And, I had a super time working with the wonderful, new Timeless Twine! I'm going to LOVE this next year!

Rockin' the twine!

Hi all. Tara from Secretbees Studio here with my first official post as a Twine-ista! So honored to be part of this team and for the month of January we will be sharing projects with a "something new" theme. That "something new"can be a new technique, new color of twine, new product from the store, or a new tool that we use while making our project. I am using lots of my 'NEW' Bella Creationz supplies for my card today!

This graphic and happy card really showcases the gorgeous colors of Timeless Twine. I chose three fun colors to work with and wrapped a die cut circle and some Studio Calico shapes in twine and layered them with a small gift tag and some washi tape! Too cute!

A side view of the card that shows off the fabulous shapes wrapped in the vibrant Timeless Twine! Check out all of the great products in the Bella Creationzhttp://www.bellacreationz.bigcartel.com store and be sure and visit the blog again for more 'NEW' crafty goodness!

Shaker Tag

Happy Friday!

Hey Everyone, it's Ruthie from September Ninth Designs. This is my official first post as a "Twine-ista" and I am super excited to be a part of this years dt! This month, here on the blog, all the Twine-ista's will be sharing projects with a "something new" theme. That "something new"can be a new technique, new color of twine, new product from the store, or a new tool that we use while making our project.

The last six months are so I have been obsessed with shaker cards, but sadly, I have yet to make one. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get my "shaker" groove on! :)  I decided on making a Valentine's shaker tag. It was pretty easy. If you are wondering how they are made, here's a great tutorial.

I didn't have the right color sequins, to put in the "shaker"part, so I made my own with three tiny heart dies that I have. I was going to add some tiny beads as well, but I was so excited to see the "shaker" in action, that I forgot to add them. LOL... oh well, next time.

I added some Strawberry Cupcake twine to the top of the tag and also around the bottom, to attach the heart.

Paper: DCWV & Recolletions

My Creative Time Products:

4x4 Journal Die + More

Stitched Doily Die

Tag Dies

Teeny Tags Layering Dies

Teeny Tag Holidays

 Scallop & Stitched Circle Die

I used the Strawberry Cupcake twine. You can find it, a ton of other colors, and lots of fun packaging in the Bella Creationz store.

Don't forget to stop back by tomorrow for more "something new" inspiration! 

I hope you have a wonderful day!

{Love.... Mixed Media}

Hey, Hey crafty peeps it's me Madge from Madge's Scrappin Lounge and today is my first of many posts with this Fabulous Design Team.  I so so thrilled and honored to be a part of the 2014 Timeless Twine Team!! Woot Woot!! A BIG thanks to Stacy for this opportunity! Now without further adieu... A fun and colorful Mixed Media Project.

Now the theme for this month is "Something New" all of the Twine-istas will be sharing creations that may include, a new technique, new color of twine or a new product from the store that we have never used yet or using a new tool to do our projects etc.


I have several different pictures showing step by step how to make this fun project. I will first post the finished project then the steps will follow.
*WARNING: Lot's of pictures! But it is worth scrolling down to see how this was created!!

Love Canvas

Step 1: Start with a blank colored canvas.  I started with a mint green canvas from My Minds Eye.

It doesn't matter the size this technique will work with any size of canvas

Next take your Timeless Twine (I chose the color Cherry Red)

and spell the word you would like to spell.

Next take your hot glue gun and go over the letters

(this is a layering technique so be sure to let each layer of glue dry before you move to the next step) It is ok if it looks a little messy when you are done it will look great!!

Now you are going to take your Gellatos and start to color lightly on your canvas.

I used several different colors.  

After your colors are on the canvas take a water brush and water and blend your colors.  The Gellatos will turn to a watercolor paint! So fun.  Now remember this step is done in layers so be sure the layer is dry before you move to the next layer. NOTE: you can use some white paint and dilute with water and splatter on the canvas at the end.  You also can go over the canvas with some paint and scrape on with a spatula for a more dramatic look*

Here is the finished product with the fun products used!!

*I took a black paint pen and doodled some hearts and Astrix on my canvas to add just a little bit of dimension.

Things you will need to complete this project:

Canvas, Timeless Twine, Hot Glue gun and sticks, Gellatos, paintbrushes, cup of water, spatula, white paint and a black paint marker.

The thing that was "NEW" to me was this technique! I love how the hot glue is transparent and offers a nice glossy finish to the twine.  And the contrast of the coloring of the Gellatos made the canvas POP!!!!

HERE is the Cherry Red Twine that was used.

Purchase your twine and other goodies {HERE}

I hope that you enjoyed my project for today!!! Have a Twine-tastic day!!!

My Twined-Up Tape-Runner

Karen N here from Craftily Yours.  SO excited to be posting my very first Twine-ista post.  I am so honored to be listed there (-->) on the sidebar with those incredibly talented and crafty gals. 

I'm a tape-runner addict.  I love that thing.  The problem is that I set it down, and it disappears under the rubble that is my craft desk, even though it's HUGE and BRIGHT pink.  I asked my DH to make me a new tape-runner holder. It's my fabulous something new, fitting into this month's theme! 

Matt got a couple of pieces of scrap wood and fashioned me what you see below which I, of course, twined up with gorgeous Timeless Twine in Olive Green.

Isn't she perrrrrrrty?!  Here's a close-up of this fabulous twine tied in a triple bow...

And finally, the tape-runner holder in action!  Love <3

Thanks for stopping by today!  You need YOU some new too!  Like, say, some new Timeless Twine?  Get ready, get set........GO shop!  :)

Craftily and twine-tastically yours,

Karen

★•••{Here's to a Brand New Year!}•••★

I'm so excited to begin another term as a Twine-ista! ❤
It's 2014...and it's pretty cold. The kids, who are happily stir crazy, are enjoying an extended vacation due the Polar Vortex. Thanks Polar Vortex for helping me avoid reality. I have been happily creating away in my pajamas, listening to the sounds of video games and giggling siblings in the background. 

Our transition to 2014 was a bit rough, while others were out celebrating, 3/4 of us in no particular order...fighting a major headache, fighting a major sinus eye headache complete with vomiting and nursing a fat lip and sore face brought about by a basketball to the face. The other 1/4 took care of everyone and was the recipient of skunk eyes from two dogs who couldn't shove their way up onto the couch...also documenting the fact that clearly, no one was going to make it to 2014. 

I created this layout, continuing our theme of "NEW" for January. ❤

Here's a close up of some of the twiney goodness that is Timeless Twine:

I used Graphite Gray & Bubblegum Pink ❤:

Have a fabulous Tuesday and look for more great ideas from our Twine-istas!!

Hello Friend

Hello everyone, Brianna here from Happy Scrapper. I am so excited to be here for another term, I just love working with Stacy and her fabulous products, thanks for the opportunity Stacy, you know I Luv ya! This month on the Timeless Twine Blog all the Twine-istas will be sharing creations that follow the theme "Something New", these creations may include, a new technique, new color of twine or new product from the store that we have never used yet or using a new tool to do your project etc.

My card features many new things & Ideas, here is what I created...

The only thing that is not new on my card, is the twine, but the way I tied it is  new. I found a knot tutorial on Pinterest and liked how this one looked so I gave it a try.

Twine's Used include:

Graphite Gray

Lemonade Yellow

Aqua Blue

 

New Items Used:

Peachy Keen December SOMK-2013

Water Color Paints

Gelatos- Silver (Thanks Piali <3) love this stuff, I feel another addiction coming on, this was the first time I ever used this stuff.

 

New Techniques:

To create all the circles on my card, I actually cut out two different stencils using my Silhouette cameo.

Stencils Used: Circles Stripe Template & Tea Stain Stencil

This is my first time using stencils on a card and I love the effect that the water colors and Gelatos gave me.

 

 To finish up my card, I added a couple of star sequins and popped up my image using 3d foam squares. I hope you all enjoy my card and I hope I have inspired you to try some new things and use some of those products you have hoarding in your craft stash.

I will see you all very soon, thanks for stopping by

Brianna
