Summer Poppies with The Twinery & Pretty Little Studio

I am so excited to be back sharing another fabulous blog hop

with you with two of my very favorite companies!

Of course, I've been working for The Twinery for over

four years now and love the creativity that comes when

baker's twine is part of the project and now, we get to

share one of my other favorite companies

Pretty Little Studio.

Hopefully you made it here from the most creative

Aimee Maddern's Blog

If not, never fear because you can get started just

a few steps back over at

The Twinery Blog

Yep!  There are some pretty fabby prizes to win if

you follow along the hop, but I'll get to those in just a sec.

I've been a fan of Pretty Little Studio for a couple years now

and find myself ordering from them with each new collection.

This one is called 'Marigold'.

I only had time to create one project for this blog hop

but I really like the outcome.

Yes...I've been using the knot idea once again to create

the stamens of these beautiful poppies. The Twinery's

baker's twine works so well to make these perfect.

For this card I used:

Marigold Solid

Strawberry Solid

Natural Solid

The Pretty Little Studio products used:

Marigold Paper Packet

Seed Packet Cut Out Tags

So I know you want to know more about the prizes

up for grabs during this hop, so here's what YOU could win....

$65 Striped Twine Sampler from The Twinery

The Twinery / Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop

No...it is not your imagination!  LOL

I am back once again with another fabby blog hop with my team over at

The Twinery as we team up with the designer from Serendipity Stamps.

Our team were given the option to work with 

Serendipity's stamps and dies

and I chose to work with a beautiful Lighthouse Die & Stamp Set

I love using baker's twine to create landscape and that's exactly what I did for

both of today's projects.  For this one, I wanted to create the varied colors of the sea,

so I used The Twinery's baker's twine in:

Denim

Ocean

Seaweed

Honeydew

It's so easy...just run your tape roller in a wavy line and simply layer the twine

row by row. 

To create the sun, I rolled Marigold & Buttercream in a circle of tape

For the next project, I wanted to create a sandy beach landscape

so I layered Cappuccino & Stone baker's twine.

I've always found lighthouses to be a source of hope as the beacon

shines for miles.  

During this three-day blog hop, there are some pretty fabby prizes

available to two lucky winners.

If you swing by all of the participating blogs & leave a little love, you just might win...

The Twinery Creates with Poppystamps Blog Hop

HELLO !!!

Yes indeed!  After a year-long break, I am baaaaack!

I am so happy to be sharing a wonderful event with you

and can't think of a better time to be sharing!

I have enjoyed being the Design Team Coordinator for The Twinery

for nearly 4 years now and love when we get together with other

creative teams to share projects with you.

Today is Day #3 of our blog hop with Poppystamps.

They provided beautiful dies to inspire us & here is what I came up with.

This beautiful die is called the 'Viva Tree' and as soon as I saw it,

I knew what I wanted to do.

Last year, I used the same 'knotting' method to create popcorn

for another fun project (which can be seen HERE)

I cut a dark brown & kraft brown tree and glued them

to my card base.  I thought it would give some dimension to create

a 'shadow' effect by layering one over the other.

To create the colorful leaves, I simply tied three knots for each color,

and glued them randomly to the tree.

The Twinery has so many beautiful shades of baker's twine, so you

can really get creative with this idea.  

For my tree, I chose the following colors:

Pink Sorbet

Lilac

Marigold

Mandarin

Honeydew

Cappuccino

During this three-day blog hop, there are some pretty fabby prizes

available to two lucky winners.
