Witchy Ghost Lollipop Cover!

Looking for an extra special treat to send with the kiddos to school for Halloween?

Well, then look no further!

I have a Trendy Twine post for you today!

I combined the Orange Limeade Trendy Twine with a cut file from KaDoodle Bug Designs

and came up with this cute treat:

I took this pattern from the Witchy Ghosts set at KaDoodle Bug Designs and created a Lollipop Cover in my Silhouette software. I then pieced together the design on the front of the cover adding a few different Peachy Keen faces. To finish, I took a strand of Orange Limeade Trendy Twine, stuck my Dum Dum Lollipop inside the cover, and threaded the twine through the holes. I tied the twine in a bow to hold the lollipop securely in the cover. As there are only 5 cardstock pieces to this project, it would be easy peasy to make a multitude of these for your child's class.

And just a note: I tried both white cardstock and Vintage Cream cardstock for the ghost and found that I liked the finished look so much better with the cream cardstock.

 

Supplies Used:

Trendy Twine: Orange Limeade

KaDoodle Bug Designs: Witchy Ghosts

Baby Sock Tote

I have a Trendy Twine Little Sister post for you today!

 

This month we are showcasing the Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine and sharing baby projects.

 

 

I am very excited about this as I will be hosting a baby shower very soon. This is going to help me brainstorm some ideas.

I decided to make a tote to hold baby socks in. This is my prototype for the shower. I will make several of these for table decorations with a paper choice modification to match the colors of the shower. This tote with the blue, pink, and brown colors would be great if the baby's gender is unknown. My finished project for the shower will use this twine though as we know the baby is a girl!!! I really like the chocolate and pink color combo.

 

 

Using a tote from Lori Whitlock, I resized it larger to fit my need. I assembled it and attached the side panels. I then cut out the Floppy Bear file from LSHD and inked it and pieced it together. The Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine was wrapped around the caddy three times and tied off with a bow. I pop dotted the bear to the front.

On the back side, I used a Spellbinder's die to cut and emboss a scalloped oval. I added a baby sentiment to the oval from My Craft Spot and inked the edges. This was also attached with pop dots.

To finish it off, I tied a double bow to the handle and added a piece of twine there as well. What a super sweet project and it will not be hard to make the ten or so that I will need!

Fright Night Treat Bag!

It is almost that time. Fright Night is coming and the Witches will come out cackling.

 

Here is a project from made for a Trendy Twine FB hop featuring the Grape Licorice twine and the Cone Treat Bags.

 

 

I filled the bag with chocolate covered pomegranates - Yum!!! My whole family loves these chocolates! I tied it off the top with my twine, my tag, a bit of ribbon from HL, and a big button from Bo Bunny. I {heart} big buttons!!!

 

The tag itself is a file from My Scrap Chick. The Witchy Bear is a cut file from KaDoodle Bug Designs and the sentiment is from Punkin' Patch Stamps but is no longer available. The background paper on the tag is from Graphic 45's new line called An Eerie Tale. This paper is just beautiful! I love the color scheme and this sheet matches the twine so nicely.

 

 

These cone treat bags can be used for so many occasions!

Kinder Time!

A quick post to share a project that I sneak peeked this last Friday.

 

 

I had so much fun making this treat bag for my daughter using some Tiny Kraft Bags from Trendy Twine along with the Cranberry Twine. All of the cut files come from My Scrap Chick's School Paper Easel Card.

 

 

After making the treat bag, I wanted to put a special note inside. I used Big Sentiments 2 and Tiny Tags from My Craft Spot to make this note card. Again the cut files are from My Scrap Chick. The twine heart is Midnight Trendy Twine.

 

Supplies Used:

Trendy Twine: Cranberry and Midnight Twine

Trendy Twine: Tiny Kraft Bags (3 1/4 x 5 1/4")

My Scrap Chick: School Paper Easel Card

My Craft Spot: Tiny Tags and Big Sentiments 2

A Caddy of Apples!

Hey, all, today is my first post as a Little Sister at Trendy Twine.
I'm so excited to be sharing my Back to School project with all of you!

My project features the Cranberry Trendy Twine. This is such a fun
and versatile color for so many projects!
 

My daughter starts Kinder this year

and I thought it would be nice to send her with a caddy of treats!

I think it is important to gain brownie points from the beginning. LOL!
 

Actually, having been a teacher, I know that it is nice to receive something special on occasion; so I like to send things when I can.

The caddy (tote) and the boxes are from Lori Whitlock. They can be purchased in the Silhouette store or in her store as an SVG. The caddy is called Double-sided Tote Scalloped and the boxes are called Ribbon Tie Favor Box Scalloped. I made my tote just slightly larger and I downsized the boxes to about 75% of the original size to fit in the caddy. After cutting and assembling, the caddy is wrapped on the sides in paper from Reminisce. For the front of the box I used a file from My Scrap Chick called Apple Tree Top. I modified it just a bit in my Silhouette software to make it the right size and to shape the top of the tree line to match the scallops at the top of my paper.



Before attaching the tree and the apples with pop dots, I wrapped the cranberry twine around the box three times and tied it off with a button and a bow. To keep the button from sliding down, I stuck a pop dot under it too. The cranberry twine is the perfect touch for wrapping around the caddy to give some contrast to the paper.

Each box is tied shut with a bit more twine and decorated with an apple. The paper for the striped boxes is from We R Memory Keepers Simply Spring collection. The apple is the same apple that is on the front of the caddy. The stem was taken from another apple in my SVG collection, but to be honest I can't remember which one. Sorry about that. Any stem will do if you decided to make this project though. After stuffing the boxes with treats, you could use a white gel pen to write on the apple letting the teacher know what is inside of each container.

It would be fun to find so many creative things to put in the boxes, but for starters, you could put candy in them as well as small school supplies like paper clips. I know my daughter and I will have a lot of fun figuring out what to put in ours.

Here is a picture of the twine I used. If you would like the cranberry color, you can pick it up at the Trendy Twine store. And while you are there, look for more tasty colors as well as other fun products for your crafty needs.

Thank you for stopping in today. I always look forward to your visits and encouraging comments. I invite you to stop by my FB page as well.
