Happy 5 Sukie & Helen...{Trendy Twine Guest Designer}

Good Morning everyone!

I am popping in with a special Guest Designer spot over on the 

Trendy Twine blog as the DT celebrates 2 special DT members

Sukie & Helen!

They have both been on the Trendy Twine DT for the past 5 years and in recognition of their talents with sharing awesome projects for the past 5 years, the DT made some special cards for them.

 Take a look at the cards I made using one of my favorite go to twines~ Totally White

To make my cards, I used kraft cardstock bases, layered some white cardstock and then picked some fun pattern paper that I new would match with the design of my cards.
For the star card, I cut the star Pinwheel Center dies from MCT  in rainbow scrap cardstock and then threaded the twine through each of the holes. A simple bow was then tied onto the top through the red star.
The sentiment was die cut using the Tag Die Layers and for a fun added touch I left the sentiment with the negative which was then popped up onto the front of the card.
The heart card was made exactly like the star card with the only difference being the sentiment and designer paper.

Congrats to Sukie and Helen on 5 years of Trendy Twine service!! Your designs are awesome and I sure hope you like your cards ladies!!!
Make sure to check out the Trendy Twine blog for more celebration cards from the DT!

A special thanks to Lesley for asking me to be a part of this Happy 5 for Sukie and Helen!

Have a GREAT Friday and weekend!!

Hugs!

Just for You......{MCT 3D Wednesday}

Good morning everyone!

I hope you all had a great 4th of July! I am currently at the beach on vacation so I scheduled this ahead of our trip.

I know we are having an AWESOME time because.. well we are on vacation, we are camping and we are at the beach!!!

I am sharing a 3D today for My Creative Time's
"3D Wednesday"

This is where we share 3D projects, treat holders, gift cards, favors~ anything other than a card..

For this project I made a small treat holder using last releases set~ PinWheel Centers & the Small Stitched Pinwheel Die

Take a look and let me know what you think....

One of my favorite 3D holders from MCT is the Treat Holder Die

The possibilities are endless when it comes to decorating and filling these adorable containers. For this project I used some fun printed designer paper from Doodlebug Designs and die cut the treat holder. Next I stamped the sentiment~ from Just a Note onto the front of the holder.

I filled a little bag with some baseball gum balls and then closed it up with some Trendy Twine.

To finish off my project, I die cut the Small Stitched Pinwheel along with the star center from the Pinwheel Centers and attached it with a brad to the top of my treat bag.

A sweet treat just for you!!

 Want to see more projects?

Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the DT made!

I know the inspiration is AWESOME!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT day!!

Happy 4th....{MCT To Die For}

Good morning everyone!
I am sharing a card today for My Creative Time's
"Too Die For Tuesday"

This is where we share ideas on how to stretch your dies.

With the 4th of July right around the corner I made a mini shaker using last releases  set~ PinWheel Centers

Take a look and let me know what you think....

Shakers are so much fun to make and add such a different element to cards. They don't even have to be a large shaker piece, like the one I added to my card to add a fun twist to a card.

To make my card, I used the largest star die from the Pinwheel Centers set and die cut it into a Ribbon End Banner.

Since I wanted that banner piece to be larger than the rest, I stretched my die to extend the banner piece.  My star was die cut into the banner and then filled with red and white seed beads.

The red and white banner pieces were cut using the same banner set, making them the sizes smaller and then arranged onto my card mat.

The whole card mat, made from a piece of white cardstock and layered with a piece of designer cardstock die cut using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies & More set was then popped up onto my A2 card base.

The sentiment, from My Little Firecracker was stamped onto the front of my card and some hemp cord was added with a bow for the finishing touch.

What do you think of my card? I hope I gave you another idea on how to use those awesome MCT dies!!!

 Want to see more projects?

Make sure you head on over to My Creative Time to see what the rest of the DT made!

I know the inspiration is AWESOME!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT day!!

MCT 68th New Release BIG Reveal & Blog Hop

For my project, I get to showcase the following sets~

Pinwheel Centers (FREEBIE)

&

Small & Medium Stitched Pinwheel Dies

I am pretty excited about my project...take a look at what I made using these sets....

OMG how adorable are these hair clips?!?!?

I used the new pinwheel dies, both small and large to make 2 different size/sets of clips.

These were so super easy to make, I took it a step further and used my embroidery machine to make the clip covers, but you could also just cover the clips with some ribbon instead.

I used the dies to diescut the pinwheels and centers using felt. After putting the pinwheels together, adding a sparkle brad or pearl brad to the centers, I used my hot glue gun to attach then to the clips.

Easy peesy and ready to be worn!!

Now for the entire release.....

MCT 68th New Release Sneak Day 3.....{Happy 4th of July}

Good Morning !

It is Day 3 of sneaks for the

68th New Release from

My Creative Time!

Boy is this week flying by!!! But I sure hope you are enjoying all these awesome sneaks from the DT!

Today we are showcasing this releases FREEBIE die~ Pinwheel Centers along with the new Small & Medium Stitched Pinwheel Dies

and here is the project I made using these sets...

How super fun are these new dies!!!! For my project I made some 4th of July wands/party favors. The designer paper I used for both pinwheels is from DoodleBug Designs~ Patriotic Parade. I have a close-up of both so you can see...

This pinwheel is the smaller one...so super CUTE! See that center star..that is the FREEBIE (well one of the dies in the freebie set). To make this one, I die cut the pinwheel 2 times, putting it together with the sparkle brad and star center. Before attaching it to my polka dot straw, I attached some long white and blue ribbon. The whole piece (pinwheel, brad and ribbon) was then placed through a small hole on the straw to hold it all together.
For the sentiment, I use the Smallest of the Ribbon End Banner and stamped the sentiment from the Teeny Tag Holidays set.

Here is the larger of the 2 pinwheels. You can see the difference in the way the brad looks through the larger star center.  I assembled this one the same as the smaller one, used the Ribbon End Banners for the sentiment and stamped the sentiment from the set~ My Little Firecracker.
I can not get over how easy these are to put together and how fun they are!!!!!
I can not wait to make more projects with these!!
