Twinery Blog Hop WITH Giveaway!


Welcome to The Twinery Blog Hop!!  If you would like inspiration for ways to use your twine, then you have come to the right place!! This hop is sure to get your mind spinning with lots of fabulous ideas!  You can follow along in the blog hop today through Friday as a different group of twinery design team members will be featured each day!  If you are following The Twinery's hop from the beginning, you should have come here from Grace's blog!

And, guess what!  I have a Twinery Ultimate Sampler Pack to giveaway, compliments of The Twinery!! How COOL is that!! I will randomly pick one comment from THIS blog post to win this fabulous prize valued at $25!  You have until Sunday, September 25th at Midnight CST to leave me a comment.  I will announce a winner on Monday, September 26th!


For this hop, I wanted to create projects with a Fall theme in mind.


The Twinery's Mandarin twine is a gorgeous orange for Fall themed projects!!  I thought it would make a perfect Fall leaf!  And the Lemondrop twine is a perfect compliment!


To make this leaf focal point, I traced a die cut shape onto my cardstock and used a knife to cut out the leaf shape.  Then, I took a separate piece of cardstock and covered it with adhesive (I used my ATG gun to do this).  Then, I began laying the twine on top vertically until it was covered.  Then, I adhered the two pieces together. 


The Twinery has an Autumn pack of twine in the store all bundled up and ready to come to your home!! You can see all the details here!  Isn't it beautiful?  :)

I also created another card, this one is super, super simple!


My Walmart now has a $1 section in the craft aisle and I found these fun shaped Halloween cards.  I thought that they were too cute to pass up!  I made a rosette flower and punched 3 holes in it and then strung Charcoal twine through the centers to make it into a spider's web.


I made a tiny hole for the twine to be thread through so that when you open the card you see this....

...a little dangling spider with googly eyes!  The twine is the perfect webbing for the spider!


The little yellow moon was added to cover the rosette web from the front.  I kept the inside fairly simple but you could decorate it up to your heart's content!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today!! I hope you were inspired!  Be sure to visit Hera's blog next, she's the next stop on today's blog hop! And in case you started in the middle or got lost along the way, here are the other design team members participanting in today's blog hop!
