Teacher Appreciation Gifts with Trendy Twine

 I am excited to share with you a quick and easy project made with beautiful Trendy Twine!

I have 45 teacher gifts to make for a junior high school. I started off with some chocolates from Purdy's Chocolatier and created vellum tags then heat embossed the sentiment. I used eyelets to finish off the sides and then put it all together with Gray Licorice twine from Annie's Paper Boutique!

This twine has been so perfect for so many year end gifts and is great for graduation touches!

I used Teacher Appreciation (Revamp) and Mini Tag Dies 2 from Jaded Blossom for the tag :)

Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege to guest design! It's been so much fun!

Until next time friends,

Janice

For My Friend

I have a coworker who is moving on to greater opportunities... Sad for me, wonderful for her.

We clicked very quickly & she instantly became my friend.

As this is her last week with us, I wanted to be sure to give her a gift from my heart. 

Of course gifts from my heart are always handmade :) 

 (I might (will) include some homemade chocolate chip cookies too)

Jaded Blossom Valentine Challenge

I am heading off to Band Camp tomorrow for a couple days of fun! As I will be out there with over 80 grade 7 & 8 students on Valentines Day, I knew I would have to make treat bags for them all! 

As Jaded Blossom decided to throw a challenge out there, I knew I'd have to enter with these 90, yes 90 treat bags. We can't have the little ones who live at the camp be left out either!

I bought little zip bags from Dollarama for the candy. Filled them with a few each and topped it off with some Jaded Blossom goodies!

Trendy Twine - Fall Decor - Guest Designer

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to create a fun decor piece. Here is what I came up with.
 I love finding new ways to use twine! 

I got my hubby to cut me some scrap pieces of wood. I sanded them down a bit, but left them a bit rough to give it texture. I used Martha Stewart's metallic 'rose gold' paint for the base.

I created nail art with the beautiful Spiced Pumpkin twine from Annie's Paper Boutique.

The leaves are from Jaded Blossom  - Autumn Leaves.  

Thank you for taking a peak at my project today!

Graduation treats made for a client, she wanted to have smarties and somewhere for cash.

this is what I came up with!

I never heard if the kids liked them, but she sure did!

And again Jaded Blossom to my rescue! Scallop circle dies, Fall Dies and the stamps came from two different sets, Teacher Appreciation (revamp), School Rules. I did mask both sentiments to come up with my own. 

And of course Trendy Twine finished it off with Midnight twine!

Celebration

On my list of to do was a birthday card. I wanted to be inspired  by something... I looked over at my washi tape and thought it has been a while since I used it, so I then looked at my twine and thought 'ah yes, Disney inspiration' without any actual Disney on my card!

I used washi tape on my background paper and then cut it out using Jaded Blossom's Card Mat Die.

I stamped one of the stamps from Birthday Treat Tags on the Luggage Tag Die and adhered it on to the front. I made a little pompom/firework out of Celebration Twine and used glossy accents to get it stuck!

Thanks for stoppin by!
