Guest Designer - Tanya Adams

Hello everyone!  This is Tanya from Nonna's Craft Corner with my last post as this month's Guest Designer.  Before I share my project with you, I would like to thank Lesley Ann and her fabulous Design Team for allowing me to play along with them this month!  I've had a wonderful time - you ladies are awesome ♥

Okay - let me show what I have for you today.  With the 4th of July just around the corner, I wanted to do something with a bit of a patriotic feel to it.  I came across a lovely, dark blue candle at one of my favorite stores. It's a beautiful candle, but it was just crying out for a bit of bling........


After blinging up my candle, I thought I might give this as a gift, so I blinged up a plain white gift bag to match!  So, let me tell you how I put this together:

*I used two colors of twine to wrap around the neck of my candle and make that big, beautiful bow - Cranberry Twine and In The Navy Twine.  Aren't they gorgeous together?
* Using my Silhouette, I cut out a few stars in red and white cardstock.  I covered them in glitter and glued them to the bottom of the twine on my candle.

I love the way my candle turned out...


The gift bag was super easy to complete....


*I punched a few holes around the top of a plain white gift bag and threaded my twine through the holes.  I tied a big pretty bow off to one side of the bag.
*Next, I glued on a few of my glitter stars and a fun sentiment and it's all finished!

I hope you've enjoyed my project today!  Thanks again to all the wonderful Trendy Twine Ladies!  I've enjoyed being your Guest Designer this month!

Star Spangled Treats

Hi everyone!

Helen here from HTB Creations today.  I have a fun 4th of July bucket for you.  I saw this idea on Pick Your Plum and had just the right colors of Washi Tape to pull it off along with the perfect twine for it -- Stars & Stripes Trendy Twine!

 



It is pretty easy to make, but it does take a bit of patience to get the washi to stay straight.  You just need to rub out any bubbles that might pop up.  On the top twine, I just glued down the beginning and the end.  But on the bottom, it wasn't staying very well so I used a bit more glue throughout the process.


 
 
To finish it off, I really felt like it needed those pretty silver star sequins!

Don't miss out on the patriotic specials that you can find in the store.  That sale will be over very soon.  Over on the Trendy Twine Facebook page there is an awesome giveaway -- be sure to check it out and follow the directions to enter.  And last, but not least, there is a new color coming out on July 4th.  Bumblebee!!  Be sure to come back here for a fun debut :)

Thanks for stopping by!!

Trendy Stars & Stripes Treat Bag

Happy Trendy Tuesday, Twiners! It's Jessi here from Kissin' Krafts! I hope you have been enjoying this month's spotlight color - Stars & Stripes! I am in love with this twine the color combo is perfect for so many holidays! And of course, the Fourth of July!

Today I am sharing a very simple and easy to make treat bag! Perfect for the upcoming Fourth of July parties/picnics!


It all starts with a canvas treat bag (available HERE in the Trendy Twine Store), needle and Trendy Twine's Stars & Stripes. Stitch a large star on the front of the bag. I thought it looked better with the star off-centered. Once the star is complete, I stitched a large button using Trendy Twine's Totally White. To finish the bag, I stamped a festive tag and tied off with more Stars & Stripes!


Thank you for stopping by today! Looking for more Trendy Twine inspiration? Like our Facebook page and join our Twine It Up Facebook group!

Pinwheel Card

My friend's birthday is next week so I thought it would be fun to create a card for her using patriotic colors.  Summer reminds me of pinwheels so I used a tutorial on Pinterest to make these.  I just love the red, white and blue colors with the pop of yellow!
I added some Stars and Stripes Trendy Twine to the pinwheels and attached some ribbon to the bottom of the card.  A fun sentiment from Docerela Stamps finished off the card.  For more project information, please stop by my blog.
All of these fabulous colors are on sale, so stop by and check out the store.  Plus, there is a sneak peek of the newest color available on July 4th, you won't want to miss it!
Have a great Monday!  Sukie

Guest Designer - Tanya Adams

Hello everyone!  This is Tanya from Nonna's Craft Corner bringing you my second project as this month's Guest Designer here at Trendy Twine!

I'm a list maker and I love pretty little notebooks to keep by my phone, in my purse, and to give to friends and family.  I'm excited to show you my latest little notebook that I just finished putting together.....


Let me tell you how I put this little cutie together:
* I used a Spellbinders die to cut my covers from lightweight cardboard.  Then, using the same die, I cut out some pretty cardstock for the covers of my notebook and the inside pages (I used regular printer paper for the inside pages)
* I decorated my front cover with the cute little bird and musical notes that I cut out with my Cameo.


* After decorating my cover, I bound the covers and inside pages together using my Cinch.
* Next, I cut several pieces of Blue Berry Twine about 5 - 6 inches long.  Taking 2 strands at a time, I tied them around each wire.  I repeated the process 2 more times, giving each wire 6 strands of twine total for a nice, full look.
* After tying on all the twine, I trimmed off the ends for a nice, even appearance.


I totally adore the beautiful mix of blues in this Blue Berry Twine!  So pretty!
 
Well, that's about it for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I'll be back with one more project to share with you on Friday, June 28th.  I hope to see you then!

Tanya
