Happy Mother's Day with love!

Hi Trendy Fans!

I'm over at the Trendy Blog sharing a gift set I made for my Mom. This month the DT is showcasing a gorgeous color - Tickled Pink Trendy Twine. I've made a few projects with Tickled pink and you can see all of them below. Today I'm sharing a very simple card and gift box.
For the card, I started with some heavy white card stock and created a background with paint splatters and inked lines. 

 I found some feathers and tied them with Tickled Pink Trendy Twine and stamped a Mother's Day sentiment.
This year I wrapped up some pretty earrings that fit perfectly in this box and again tied it with Tickled Pink Trendy Twine. I added a tiny little tag and stamped it with love!

Here's a look at some other projects using the spotlight products


Stop by the boutique and have a look at these fun goodies!

Die Cuttin Diva's - Garden challenge

Happy Tuesday!
It's time for another Die Cuttin Diva's Challenge! This week we have a garden challenge. Just simply create something you would find in a garden. I think this challenge is perfect for spring. I just planted a small vegetable and herb garden and wish I had the room for a flower garden. Unfortunately, only one side of our yard gets great sun so I end up using it all for my veggies. 

For my garden themed project I created a card full of flowers! 
 I used some gorgeous paper and machine stitched the background.

I added some die cut flowers from My Creative Time.

Look at these pretty cuts. I stamped it with a very appropriate sentiment and added some jute for a little more pizzazz.

Thank for stopping by and hope to see you join in the fun!

My next project is a card using the "Happy Thoughts" stamp set! 

This set is so sweet, it really inspires you to use fun bright pretty colors! I found some gorgeous yellow paper for my background and stitched it with my sewing machine.

Trendy Twine - Treats for Mom.

Hi Trendy Fans!

I'm over at the Trendy Blog sharing a super sweet treat for MOM. Today I'm using a brand new product  - Mini Cups along with some gorgeous Tickled Pink Trendy Twine. Oh these cups are AWESOME! The decorating ideas are endless, but for today I made a little treat for mom.
I covered the bottom of the cup with some pretty pink and orange paper.

I added some pretty gems to give them some sparkle. 

I really wanted to decorate the top too. So I just die cut some circles and popped them on the top. Oh and I can't forget that I filled this cute little cup with mini chocolate chip cookies. YUUUM! They are the perfect size for a little treat.

Lastly, I added that GORGEOUS Tickled Pink Trendy Twine. Oh my gosh, you just have to add these to your must have list. I know every coffee lover would adore a little treat wrapped up in this little Mini Cup!

Stop by the boutique and have a look at these fun goodies!

Die Cuttin Diva's - ZOO challenge

Happy Tuesday!
It's time for another Die Cuttin Diva's Challenge! This week it's all about animals, doesn't that sound like fun? I was excited to create something fun. I made a GC holder. I always need something for a baby, I just don't make enough baby projects so that's what I made. I cut a pillow box large enough to hold a gift card and then used a Kadoodle bug Cutesy Zoo Animals SVG. I chose the giraffe and went with neutral colors so I could use it for the next baby boy or girl :)

Oh I love how this turned out! I inked up all the pieces first and added a little chalk to my giraffe's cheeks.

I added some fun doodling and pretty aqua polka dot paper and tied it with some jute twine.

I gave my giraffe lots of layers and dimension, I've been doing this more and more. I always cut everything twice (in case of mistakes) and I have this huge box of die cuts with pieces that I never put together. Well, I still cut everything twice but now I'm actually layering them and I LOVE the look and feel. Oh if only I could tackle my die cut box :)
