Ornament Fun

Christmas is coming!  Yay!  I love Christmas, decorating trees, presents, family and FUN!

Today for Timeless Twine/Bella Creationz, I decided to create a Christmas card using FuN ornaments and Timeless Twine in Cherry Red.

That FUN sentiment is from the NEW Bella Creations Holiday Sentiment Stamps.  I used some pretty Bella Creationz Sequins available soon in the Bella Creationz Store.  The paper is from Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettia, and the other ornaments are from Memory Box and Tim Holtz Festive Scribbles.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Have you "liked" Timeless Twine on Facebook yet?  You should, so you stay up on all the lovely twine-tastic goodness....

Craftily yours,

Giving Thanks for Fall

My card is on the Timeless Twine / Bella Creations blog today.  Fall is a beautiful time of year, don't you think?  I live in Northern California; we didn't get much Fall last year (or Winter), but the word is that it's actually going to rain this year.  Fingers crossed!

In honor of Fall, I made this with a triple bow of twine:

That FABULOUS twine is Timeless Twine in Autumn Splendor. AND it's on sale RIGHT now!

Can you believe that price!?!? Crazy!  Stock up now before it's GONE!  I also used some gorgeous gold sequins that will be available at Bella Creationz soon!


Craftily yours,

Karen

Treat Bags

Today at the Timeless Twine/Bella Creationz blog, I'm sharing with you some cute and easy treat bags for Halloween.  I used the GORGEOUS Halloween Orange & Licorice Timeless Twine and Bella Creationz Glassine Bags on these yummy treats.

The bag toppers are cut with a Spellbinder's Nestabilities label and folded in half.  They are tied onto the bags with that pretty twine and then I taped a Graphic 45 panel to the front.  The best part?  I filled them up with YUMMY M&Ms and had a few left over for a snack :)

Did you see the sale?

Yay!  Love sales, and this one is really great!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Craftily yours,

Shoot for the Moon

Happy Hump-Day, Friends.  I'm up over at the Timeless Twine blog today.

This month, we are focusing of the fun and fabulous Timeless Twine in Cape Cod.  This fun twine has grey, yellow and white, and I was thinking stars and moons, so here's what I did!

I created the moon by punching a circle and then punching it again half-way through.  I glued twine down and trimmed the edges.  Those fun sequins are Bella Creationz, Silver Star Sequins.  On top of the glitter paper on top, I also colored the hanging stars and moons with my Wink of Stella pens.  Sparkles!

Hope you have a super sparkly Wednesday!  Thanks for stopping by!

Crazy Congrats Bird

I'm up on the Timeless Twine blog today with this fun graduation card for my friend's son.  I decided to make him this CAS card with the Tim Holtz Crazy bird.  I love the look on the bird's face, and imaging this must be how a newly minted adult might feel!

That gorgeous twine is Aqua Blue and Red (Firecracker) Timeless Twine, and I used some pretty Bella Creationz Sequins.  These sequins were part of a kit sold about a year ago, but there are oodles of fun sequins in the Bella Creationz Store.

Happiness is...

HaPPy HumPday!  I'm up over on the Timeless Twine / Bella Creationz blog today.  Sometimes, happiness is a warm cup of coffee shared with a sweet friend.  Sometimes, coffee is just a way to make it through the day.  Either way, I decided to make a happy cup of coffee card for my post today!

That gorgeous twine is Chocolate Chip Timeless Twine, and I used some pretty Bella Creationz White Frost and Metallic Poppin Pink Sequins (coming soon).  I love the little extra sparkle sequins add to my card.  I love that the twine is perfectly coffee colored!  I used paper from Heartfelt Creations Majestic Morning (fitting, don't you think?!) and stamps from Bella Creationz (moments captured from the Oh Snap Set) and from Dare2bArtzy.  The lace is from 3 Girl JAM.

My post today is for Monochrome Monday, but I was tasked to use the very fabulous Timeless Twine in one of the Sorbet colors!  These fabulous twines are duo-colored, so here's what I did for MOSTLY Monochrome Monday for Mommas!

We were asked also to something Spring.  It's been Spring here in No California since Fall.....so I got this.  That beautiful twine is Razzleberry Sorbet Timeless Twine, and I used some pretty Bella Creationz Frost White Sequins (coming soon).  Love sequins!  The image is from Unity Stamp Company, the sentiment is Stampin' Up, and the lace is 3 Girl JAM.

Saturday Fun with Sequins

Happy Saturday, Friends.  If you are here for Julie's Blogoversary Hop - GO here!

Today, I'm sharing a FUN Sequin Saturday card at Timeless Twine/Bella Creationz!  I LoVe sequins!  I was SO excited when Bella Creationz started to carry them.  They add such fun and sparklies!  Without further ado, here's what I did!

I love this Lucy the Ladybug Fairy from Unity Stamp Company.  She's a big stamp, so adding pattern paper around her would be difficult.  Problem solved, add sequins!  These sequins from Bella Creationz are in Raspberry Pink and White Frost (coming soon).  The card is finished off with a smidge of Timeless Twine in Lemonade Yellow.   

Hope my card inspires you to have a FUN and COLORFUL weekend! 

Craftily yours,

Karen

These Boots are Made for Walking AGAIN!

It's a Throwback Thursday over at the Timeless Twine blog!  The task is to use a project from the past and re-do it to make it better.  I went back to February 2013 on my blog and found this:

This was a card I made for my son two years ago when he was graduating from boot camp.  He is still proudly serving in the U.S. Army, and I decided to use that same stamp-set (from There She Goes) and use the general lay-out as inspiration.  Here's what I came up with:

I definitely take better pictures now!  haha  I like the re-worked version with the beautiful Timeless Twine in Cherry Red.  It seems more appropriate in red, white and blue.  Those gold and silver stars are from Bella Creationz and should be posted soon in the embellishments section.  

Thanks for going back in time with me today!  Before you go, be sure to "like" the Timeless Twine and Bella Creationz Facebook pages to keep up with all the fun inspiration by the Creative Crew.  Also, be sure to check out all of the fun goodness at the Bella Creationz Etsy Site!

To Die For Valentines

If you are looking for my Growing in Unity post for today, go here.

I'm up over at the Timeless Twine / Bella Creationz blog Karen N here from Craftily Yours with Timeless Twine / Bella Creationz first "To Die for Wednesday."  On "To Die For Wednesday," the creative crew members (like me!) create a project in the shape of a die.

Here's what I came up with!

My card is cut with Spellbinders Labels 39....as is the frame of the image.  I outlined the frame with the super lovely Timeless Twine in Strawberry Cupcake!  Those pretty sequinz are Raspberry Pink from Bella Creationz.  The sentiment is stamped with Bella Creationz Happy Days Clear Stamps.  So many fun combinations of sentiments can be made with this versatile stamp set!  The flower stamp is from Dare2BArtzy.

Hope you have a super happy HuMp-DaY!

Craftily yours,

Mini Lay-out

Karen N here from Craftily Yours.  I'm in the process of making a frame that will hold mini-layouts, but I needed one lay-out first to make sure that it is going to work.  Here's what I did:

I used Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower paper, and the Timeless Twine in Natural White was perfect for the paper.  Also perfect are the GORGEOUS sequinsto embellish my little lay-out.  They will be available at Bella Creationz soon!  The picture is a from CHA this year.  I was lucky enough to go and to bring along my mom.  Some of her friends were there, and we all had a blast together!

Craftily yours,

Karen

Silver, Gold and Kraft

I'm excited to be sharing with you a Christmas card over at the Timeless Twine blog using Kraft paper and Timeless Twine in Kraft Brown.

I love how the silver and gold looks with this Kraft paper.  To add some fun color and shine, I added some pretty sequins from the Bella Creationz Clearly Beautiful set.  I LOOOOOVE sequins almost as much as I love Timeless Twine!!  For good measure, you also cannot go wrong with a beautiful 4" Bella Creationz doily.  The paper is from Stampin' Up, and the snowflake die is from Spellbinders.

Craftily yours,

Karen

Making Spirits Bright

I'm up on the Timeless Twine blog today sharing a fun holiday card in fun non-traditional colors!

I love this image and sentiment from Unity and felt that it needed super happy colors!  What better super happy color than Timeless Twine in Raspberry Pink?!  I added some sequin from the Bella Creationz Clearly Beautiful set.  I love twine, and I love sequins!

Have you stopped by the Bella Creationz store to see ALL the fabulous fun goodies there?  You should!
