Technique Tuesday Printables Blog Hop

Hi everyone!

I’m a NEW Stamping Tech for Technique Tuesday, and I’m excited to be taking part a blog hop today with some amazingly talented stamping girlies!  WA HOO!!  So excited!

Today, all of us are playing with the new Printables Technique Tuesday recently debuted at the scrapbook conventions they go to. These three printed sheets (Candy Cane Wishes, Harvest Time and Hocus Pocus) consist of designs you can cut up and use to decorate cards, scrapbook pages and other fun paper crafted projects. They will be available through TechniqueTuesday.com soon.

 

Here are my little projects!  I used the Halloween Printables and cut out the circles.  I used my paper piercer and threaded baker's twine through and tied them around the treat bags.  So fun and cute!!  

 

Here is what the printables look like before cutting.

Go and see what the other ladies have created.  They are amazing!!  You won't be disappointed!

A new banner!

So I have been meaning to do this forever but never got around to it.  Well I decided to use the Fall Junque from House of Three digital elements to create this banner.  I loved their digi stuff so much and am super sad they are no longer available...  Anywho, what do you think??  I, myself, love it!  Have a great day!

Back to School

So my children started school Monday of last week.  It was a bittersweet day for me for sure.  With the back to school season here, I was able to review the Elementary Collection by Simple Stories today on The Scrap Review.  Here is one of my favorite projects:

 

For some reason, it just makes me happy!  I absolutely adore this line.   For the full article go to The Scrap Review and be entered to win this collection!  Hope you are all doing well!  Happy Wednesday!

Amy Tangerine. Sigh...

So woo hoo!  I had the joyous experience of working with the Amy Tangerine collection from American Crafts for my review on The Scrap Review.   Oh how I love this line.  My favorite part?  The colors, the patterns, the embellishments...  Just soooooo fabulous!   Here is one of my projects for my article.   

 

LOVE.

 

I'm out!

Oh how DIVINE!

Alright so if you found me via the Whisker Graphics blog, welcome!  My project was a little out of the box so to speak.  I wanted to dress up a boring white t-shirt and here is how I did it.   

First I just soaked the twine in fabric stiffener.   I shaped it into the balloons and let dry. Took about half hour to get the twine dry.  I then took a needle and thread and just stitched the twine on.  I made sure the thread went on the white of the twine so it retained the twine look.   And here you go.  

 

 

So there you have it!  The stitches are pretty rough, but still cute!  Thanks for stopping by!!

Shameless Push
