You're My Most Favorite....{Trendy Twine Candy Tin}

Good Morning everyone!
 I am up on the Trendy Twine blog today with another sweet treat :)

 Have you started making Valentine's Day treats yet?

Need some more inspiration??

 I have another fun gift giving idea to share using a Candy Tin and the newly released Pinkberry Sorbet Trendy Twine!

These Candy Tin's from the Trendy Twine store are perfect for adding wrapped chocolate nuggets. I was able to fill my tin with 12 chocolates, wrapping each one in a piece of 1x3" designer paper from We Are Memory Keepers. Next to decorate the outside of the  tin, I wrapped a piece of beautiful White 7/8" Embroidery Satin Ribbon around the tin and tied it in a bow.

For my sentiment, I used both a stamp set and some dies from My Creative Time. I wanted to add more than just a twine bow to hold my tag onto my tin, so I die cut a small heart into the top layer of my tag. Next using small pieces of Pinkberry Sorbet Trendy Twine, I added them to the back of my twine so it covered the entire die cut.  The color of the twine fills the die cut so beautifully, don't you think??? This is one of my favorite techniques when playing around with my twine.

To finish off my project, I tied the tag onto the ribbon using a double bow of Pinkberry Sorbet Trendy Twine  and added some matching enamel dots.

Here is my hop project.....I hope you think it is as sweet as I do :)

When I saw the "Hello honey" sentiment on the freebie stamp set, I immediately though of some honey sticks I just purchased at the store. I packaged them up to add to a tea basket for a friend. I used the Just Tags die, cut the bottom layer in kraft cardstock and added the top layer using some honeycomb designer paper from Recollections. Next I stamped my sentiment (from the I Love You Beary Much set) and added some gold enamel dots to the bottom.

Using the new Bear Dies, the teddy bear from the Beary Special Thoughts Stamp Set and some white cardstock, I stamped the bear and then die cut him out. I added some color to him using my copic markers and then popped him up onto the front of my tag. 
To finish my gift set up, I wrapped 4 honey sticks with some yellow sheer ribbon and tied the tag with a bow to the front.
A cute and fun way to give otherwise boring honey sticks.....right??!

Best Bots Forever & Heart 2 Heart Love Frame Dies

For this card, I started with a piece of Kraft cardstock, a layer of white cardstock and then a piece of pattern paper die cut using my FAVORITE die the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die. Then using the new hearts from the Heart 2 Heart Love Frame Dies, I die cut 2 hearts in red pattern paper, one heart in gray pattern paper and the "love" layer in some pretty white and pink pattern paper. I arranged them on my card, popping the center heart up with some foam pop dots. To keep the sentiment simple, I die cut the "U" using the Lowercase Fun Dies.

Here is another angle of my card. I added dimension to the "U" as well and placed some silver enamel dots for the finishing touches.

The Last Pieces of Our Family & Stitched Puzzle Pieces Dies

OMG you are going to flip when you see these..... LOL They are AWESOME!

So for today I have 2 more cards to share....hope you like them!!!

For my first card, I went CAS to show off those adorable new puzzle pieces. Aren't they fun??? There are 4 in this set and when put together make a square. I used 2 of the puzzle pieces and stamped the "you" and "me" on each piece. Then using the heart from the Happy Thoughts Stamp set, I stamped that in the middle so when they are joined you can see the cute heart :)
To add some more detail to my card, I stamped the same heart onto some kraft cardstock in a diagonal pattern and then die cut the piece out using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die. I popped that all up onto a kraft cardstock card base.
To finish my card off, I stamped that adorable new sentiment under the puzzle pieces.

For my next card, I used the other set of puzzle pieces that come in the new Stitched Puzzle Pieces Die set~ that oh so cute heart pieces.

For this card, I started with a white card base, added a layer of red cardstock and then my pattern paper die cut using~ yes again~ the totally awesome Stitched Rectangular Frame Die.

Then using the same red cardstock, I die cut all the heart puzzle pieces and placed them aside to add my sentiment, which I stamped on an extended piece of white cardstock I die cut using the Slider Treat Box Die. Once that was adhered to my card mat, I arranged the heart pieces somewhat close together so you can tell it is a heart but added some dimension to them by popping a few up with foam and gluing one down. Some added enamel dots and my card is all done.

My Creative Time 39th Release!

What did you think of yesterday's sneaks and projects??? AWESOME right!!!!

Well today we have more :)

The DT will be showcasing the new set....

You Make My Heart Smile 

this set, complete with a bunch of awesome new sentiments also comes with coordinating dies!

I have 2 projects to share using this set, a card and a sweet Valentine's Day treat!

My love shaker card was made using the frame from the 4x4 Journal Die + More set, which I stamped using the Grainy Background Stamp. I popped the frame up with some foam tape, filled it with some clear seed bead and some smaller heart die cuts. Before adding it to my card base, I used the Stitched Tab Die to stamp my sentiment. This whole embellishment piece was then added to my card base which consists of a kraft card, white card layer and a piece of decorative designer paper cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die.
Using the coordinating paper, I die cut the large heart from the Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies and then using the new release "heart" die, I cut it 4 times to add some layers to the letters and to pop it up onto the front of my heart alittle more.

My next project are some cute lollipop holders that would be so fun to make for the kiddos classroom parties. 

For these, I used the Stitched Lollipop Holder and cut them out using designer paper from my stash (sorry not sure the name). I added the big Stitched Sweetheart Die to the top of the lollipop holder and a smaller one onto the heart using the same pattern paper. Then using the new "Be mine" dies, I added them to the front of the lollipop die.
Tied on some Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine and these are ready to be given to my valentines :)

MCT 39th New Release Day 1 Sneaks

Good Morning and welcome to Day 1 of sneaks for the new

My Creative Time 39th Release!

Miss Emma has another AMAZING new release and the DT can not wait to share all of our projects with you! We all know you are going to LOVE everything in this release.
So sit back and get ready for a GREAT week of inspiration followed by our blog hop on Friday when we will show you all the entire new release and it will be available for purchase!

Today the DT will be showcasing projects using the new set~

I Love You Beary Much & Bear Dies 

*Both of these new releases coordinate with the Beary Special Thoughts stamp set too!

I have 2 cards to share using these sets, hope you like them!

For my 1st card, I used one of the sentiments for the inspiration for my baby card. Since I have boys, I made a baby boy card :) but changing up the papers to be pink and you can have a baby girl card too.

I started my card by using a Kraft cardstock base and adding a layer of white cardstock. Using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die, I added a top layer of designer paper. For the cut out of the bear, I used the new Bear Dies, then added a matching piece of designer paper behind the cut out. I stamped the bear using the image from Beary Special Thoughts. I knew I wanted to die cut the letters to spell "baby" so I grabbed my Lowercase Fun Dies and cut them using kraft cardstock. I adhered them to my card front and then stamped the remaining sentiments around the image and die cuts. To finish this card off, I wrapped some Totally Kraft Trendy Twine into a bow around the top.

For my second card, I used the same bear but this time brought out my copics to do a little coloring :)

My coloring could use some work, I know BUT I am taking a prismacolor pencil class at my LSS this weekend so you will most likely see some pencil coloring next week!

Anyways I started my card off the same way as the other card, but adding a different pattern paper to the top layer. Then using the Stitched Sweetheart die, I cut it out using a matching pattern paper. I stamped my sentiment onto the largest Stitched Decorative Banner and adhered both the heart and sentiment onto the front of my card using some foam pop dots.

Next I stamped the adorable bear and then die cut him out using the new Bear Dies set. I colored him in using my copics and he to was popped up using some foam pop dots. I added a small heart die cut to him as well~ the little heart from the 4x4 Journal Die + More set and some random white enamel dots.
