GIVEAWAY: Treasure Alert & Trendy Twine Guest Designer: Happy Love Day

Hello my treasured friends!

I am ecstatic to be guest designing today over at Trendy Twine! They're definitely my FAVE twine company out there today, and if you haven't checked them out before, you really are missing out! They have beautiful colours, and a variety of different twists. You can check out all the twine that they have available here. I guarantee you, you won't be disappointed! ;)

For my project today, I am showcasing this month's newly released Cherry Cupcake, which is PERFECT for all your Valentine's Day projects. This twine has a double twist of red and pink, and it's oh so trendy! Can you spot all that trendy Cherry Cupcake twine? I'll be linking this up to Pink Cricut's Link Up Party, and Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge.


Here's a close-up of the adorable birdie and turtle. I used more twine to add the XOXO's on the turtle's shell.

A Birthday Fit for a Diva

Hello my treasured friends!

It feels like forever since I've posted and I appologize for that! It has been a non-stop go for me since I finished exams..from birthday parties, school meetings, catching up with friends, and work, I've barely had any time to sit down and craft. Next week I'll be heading down to Vegas for my 21st birthday, so that gives me even less time to craft. I'll be squeezing in crafting time whenever I can from now until next week Tuesday.

Here's a birthday card that I created for my friend's birthday. She is definitely a diva, so this card is fit for her! :) I'll be entering this card into the following challenges:

Celebrate the Occasion Challenge 27 -- Create a Circle Shaped Card for any occasion
Fantabulous Cricut Challenge 74 - Create a Birthday Themed Project
Paper Playtime - Anything Goes

So here it is!


This card will fit into a 5 x 5 square envelope. I heat embossed the Peachy Keen large polka dot background with sparkly embossing powder to create my own patterned paper. I used the Punnylicious My Pink Stamper set to stamp the "hoppy birthday" but changed the o to an a so it could read "happy birthday."

Trail of Treasures:
  • Card base cut from Smiley Cards exclusive Gypsy cartridge (you can find this cut on many other carts or weld circles together on your own)
  • Shoes cut from  Wall Decor & More cartridge
  • Scalloped shape cut from Gypsy Wanderings
  • Circle cut from Plantin Schoolbook
  • Martha Stewart Sugar Cube Embossing Powder
  • PK 100 Large Polka Dot
  • White Gelly Roll Pen
  • Crystal Accents
  • Heat Gun
  • Bling
Until next time's treasures,
