Star Birthday Card

I am just sharing a quick birthday card with you today.  I have a nephew turning 3 very soon!  I bought the Fiesta Forever stack by DCWV and thought those bright colors would be perfect for a child his age.

I followed the sketch that is up on the DCWV blog this month for inspiration.  The orange layer and the star are popped up with thin foam tape.  I cut the "3" out 4 times and glued them together for a thicker appearance and covered it with red stickles.

The twine I used at the bottom is Limeade Trendy Twine.  The stamp is from Paper Sweeties.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Twine 12 Days of Christmas Day 6

Hello everyone! Welcome to Day 6 of our Trendy Twine 12 Days of Christmas.  I hope you have enjoyed the past few days of projects! I know I have, and we are only halfway through! If you haven't seen the wonderful projects my fellow TT team members have created, head on over to the Trendy Twine blog to see them.  You won't be disappointed!

For my project today, I created Snowman Soup featuring Holly Berry Trendy Twine and Biggie Candy Bags.   Who doesn't love a cup of hot chocolate on a snowy day?  These packages are super sweet for stocking stuffers and quick to make as well.  I wrapped the  Holly Berry Trendy Twine around the base of the topper and also used it for the snowman's scarf and the tiny bow on the button.

Here is a close up of the saying I typed up.  There are several versions of the Snowman Soup saying, but this is the one I liked the best!

Here is a list of the products I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

 Biggie Candy Bags

Holly Berry Trendy Twine

Trendy Twine Christmas Tin Blog Hop

Welcome to Trendy Twine's Christmas tin blog hop!  A perfect way to start December and the start of a special 12 days of Christmas celebration where the DT will be WOWing you all with creative gift giving ideas using Trendy Twine (of course) as well as other products found in the Trendy Twine store.  Today the DT is showcasing all the different "tins" that are offered in the Trendy Twine store and getting you all in the gift giving mood!

I am sure you have already been inspired with the places you have hopped from.  You should be coming from Kim's blog.  If not, start at the Trendy Twine blog to join in all of the fun!

Here is what I created for this hop.

I started with a small treat tin and covered the top with beautiful patterned paper.

I created this Poinsettia from a file from SVG Attic's Winter Wishes set.  The bow of Holly Berry Trendy Twine was the perfect addition to set off the tag I stamped.

Around the top edge, I lined it with red line tape and wound the Holly Berry twine around it several times.  On the bottom half of the tin, I added coordinating patterned paper.

I even decorated the inside with more paper, a sentiment and a tiny bow of twine.  Guess what?  This tin is the perfect size to fit a gift card in!  A gorgeous way to give a personalized gift that everyone will want!

Of course, it wouldn't be a hop without BLOG CANDY!!

Two lucky winners will each receive a spool of this yummy Candy Cane Trendy Twine!
