Hello!

 I am back with another Christmas project on the Trendy Twine's blog today.

Christmas is just a week away and I know some of us are wrapping up some last minute Christmas presents. Well, I did mine with a little help from this month's Color of the Month twine: Peppermint Stick!

Here's a peek of how my Christmas presents look like this year! I chose these purple/blue/white wrapping papers from Typo and did my best to make them look presentable. Psssttt, I'm not the best "wrapper" in town :)

Then to hold everything together, I tied all my presents up using the Peppermint Stick twine. Don't you think it just adds to the wrapping? I love that it's not bulky as well, just gives a light fine touch.

I also made some Christmas gift tags out of kraft paper. I stenciled some patterns using Nuvo Glimmer Paste and Glitterific paints. Then I added snowflakes using my Gelly Roll white pen. I grabbed some brush markers I had and wrote "Merry Christmas". Then, just use the same twine to tie the tag with some bunny ears and it's done!

Here is the beautiful twine I used for today's card:

Hey scrappy friends. 

I am Guest Designing for Trendy Twine blog today and I have a cute Christmas card to share with you!

Today, the feature is this beautiful mixed colored twine: 

Berries Jubilee Trendy Bakers twine - Navy Blue and Red

For my card I am using the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember 2018 Mama Elephant set "Merry Mail".  I first inked up the skies with a cloud stencil with Tim Holtz distress oxide inks. I stamped and colored all the fun little bits with my colored pencils.

Since Santa is already in his cute little plane writing the word "Merry" in the sky, I thought it would be fun to do decorate the word with twine.  I used Thermoweb's mixed media adhesive (which dries clear) and traced along the lines of the word, then slowly twisting the twine and pressing it down along the way.

Finally, I added some pretty Unity Stamp sequins and nuvo glitter drops.

For my card, I used Pink and Main's Gingerbread stamp set, colored them with Copic markers. Then I added Nuvo Glimmer Paste [moonstone] for the glittery snow.  I also used some foiled patterned paper to add to the glitz.

Then for the twine, I tied them into little cute bows first before adhering them onto my candies with some Thermoweb mixed media adhesive. It clears dry, so no worries of any adhesive peeking through :)

It's the Grand Re-opening of Sweet Stamp Shop and Nicole (the owner) has invited quite a few of us to join in the celebrations!

I've always admired their stamps but never had the chance to play with them till now. I got this super duper cute stamp from her and I made this card! :)

I colored the stamp in with my Copics and layered them up on my embossed background misted with Color Bloom Spray in Gold.

I may need more of their stamps after this!! :)

Go check them out.

Today is my final Guest DT post for Two Paper Divas. Awwww... It's the "end" already?

But hey! I have some cute projects to show you to day and they are YUMMY! :)

Oh yeah.. It's All About CHOCOLATE!

For this card, I stamped each of the chocs onto plain white cardstock. Then I stamped it again onto some patterned paper and fussy cut out just the tops. I then adhered the tops to the first stamped image to make it whole! I colored in the wrappers with some Copics.

Then I put the chocs onto some foam tape and decorated the card with some glittered stars, gold Stickles and sentiment from Miss Kate Cuttables.

Next up is a Fun with Fry boxes from The Cutting Cafe.

For the chocolate strawberries, I stamped them on white cardstock, then colored them in with my Copics. The chocolate part - I added some glossy accents to it to give it some texture.

I hope you've enjoyed my projects for Two Paper Divas. 

Thanks to Gayla and Melissa for having me. :)

It's my 2nd Guest DT post for Two Paper Divas and today's set is just lovely!

Today, I have used the "Tea Cups" set that comes with some stacking tea cups. I love the sentiment that comes with it!

I stamped and colored the pretty cups in with my Copics and then added it on to an embossed cardstock - which I have spritzed with some Prima Color Bloom spray in Cotton Candy. I also added a mini bow and some enamel dots for the pop!

"Sometimes, it's just one thing on top o f another".

True, isn't it?

But hey...

God is our refuge and strength,

-Psalm 46:1

Cheers! :)

When I got the email from Melissa & Gayla from Two Paper Divas - I was excited! 

They wanted me to be their first ever Guest Designer to start off the New Year and ... of course I said YES :)

Thank you for such an honor!

Two Paper Divas has some awesome clear & digital stamps. Their designs are fresh and simple - perfect for any occasion. On their blog, you can find many ideas and inspirations to make a scrappy project.  

For today's card, I have used their Flower Silhouette clear stamp.

I used some Faber Castell Gelatos (Raspberry // Metallic Melon // Mango) on the stamp - which I then misted with some water before stamping it. For the background, I spritzed some Prima Color Bloom spray (Soft Teal // Summer Sky) to create the splatter effects.

 I then embossed & stamped the sentiment from Unity Stamp "Wish with Your Heart" kit. To finish it up, I added a border with some Gelatos with more water to create a softer edge.

I am going to be their Guest Designer for the next TWO Mondays (*YAY*!) - so do come back and take a peek on more fun scrappy inspirations :)

I do not do this style often and thought it'd be fun to challenge myself... so here's my card!

I decided to go for the somewhat distressed look with a few pop of colors. I stamped the Unity Stamp sentiment in gold ink while adding some pearls, a few 3d elements and a doily to soften it all up.

Hope you like my card and Thanks for visiting! :)

Today I am delighted to be guest posting on Little Panda Crafts. MJ contacted me and asked me if I'd like to be on her blog - and of course I said yes! Do check out her blog because she makes the cutest things!! :)

On her blog today, I made an easel card for you with some easy step-by-step to make one! It's my first time making one and trust me, it's not as difficult as it looks. :)

Easel cards are pretty for display but when it is close shut, it looks like this. This makes it easier for you to mail it. 

The sentiment is by Unity Stamp {Strength and Dignity KOTM 11/13}. I stamped the flower which is also by Unity Stamp/Webster's Pages {Beauty} in some gold ink.

The gorgeous butterfly is from Prima and I added some Heidi Swapp color shine around it.

It's my second Friday Feature on Housecalls by Scrappin Madge and today I have a quick mini album for you.

I am using Adorn It {Bumble Bee Cut apart} which has journal cards that are 4x6. I cut those out and made every page using that - and cut out papers from Authentique's Thankful collection as mats. I've sewed each page with my sewing machine and added the washi tape + tag (from Carta Bella). Also added are the pretty flair buttons! I punched a hole at the top and thread a ribbon through - and I am done!

Here are the inside pages.

Here's the kit that I used for this mini album. You can subscribe the November's Harvest Tradition kit here.

Come back next week for my final Friday Feature !

It was a happy surprise when Madge of Housecalls By Scrappin Madge mailed me and said that I will be getting the November's Harvest Tradition kit and will be Guest Designing for the whole month of November. I was ecstatic!! Check out how pretty this kit is!! 

Yes, you get that many things in this kit. Isn't it so gorgeous?

Well, today I altered a frame and created a Thankful piece. I absolutely loved the sentiment from the clear stamp that is in the kit.

I used the clear stamp, papers, flair button and washi tape from the kit to create this! The brown string is from my own stash :)

Here's a close up.

Join me again next Friday for another fun project from the November's Harvest Tradition kit. Love what you see? You can subscribe to the kit HERE.
