Use Twine and Straws in your creation.

Hello this is Teresa R from Fresh and Renewed.  I am so excited to share my twine and straw creation with you today. Have you ever had a thought in your head and weren't sure if you could actually execute it or not? Well, that is exactly what happened with this creation. So my idea came out very similar to what I had in my head. I am extremely pleased with how it came out.

I used a luncheon sized paper plate a cut a circle out of the dark grey solid paper. Then I began gluing straws in an alternating pattern; grey, pink...around in a circle like spokes. I then used a heart shaped doily as the middle to cover up my boo-boos...they were not quite even! Then I cut this cute cupid from Sweethearts Cricut cartridge at about 4.5." I layered it with the various A Muse studio papers. Then I used another A Muse studio pattern paper to cut a larger circle for a background. I also cut the word love to glue as a sentiment across the bottom straws. I took the A Muse twine both the pink and the grey and wove them in and out the straws to just add another layer. Then, I hot glued some ribbon ( I had some pink froo-froo ribbon that fit perfectly) to the back as my hanger. This is going to serve as my Valentine wreath to hang on my front door.

Weekly Challenge #1 Thursday

Weekly Challenge #1 Tuesday, January 8th thru January 14th.

Use Twine and Straws in your creation. 

Hi! Janet here from Janet's Creative World to share my project for the challenge! I used A Muse products and must admit this was my first time to use them! I love them! Where’s the love button on my blog? Anyway, I used Twine, Straws and the Love Me Do stamp set.
Check my card out!

I used a Gray 8 1/2 x 11 piece for the card base. What is really nice is that the back side is white, so when I cut the sheet in half, and fold my card, I can write in it! No need to add a white card for my note. How handy is that? I used a Pink Heart background paper cut to 4 x 5 1/4 as a mat. Cut out a Heart (Silhouette store) on similar background paper. I wrapped the gray twine around the heart then made this cute arrow (Silhouette store) and put the feathered end and point end onto a straw. It looks like the heart has already been captured doesn’t it? I stamped hubba hubba (from the Love Me Do stamp set) so now that I’ve captured someone’s heart we all know what’s in store, don’t we?
That’s a post for another day… LOL Check out all the A Muse products and have a wonderful Valentine’ Day!

Challenge Week #1 1-8

Weekly Challenge #1 Tuesday, January 8th thru January 14th.

Use Twine and Straws in your creation. 

Welcome to Cuttin and Stampin's first weekly challenge.

Hi, this is Robin Lane from create-a-latte.blogspot.com I am very excited to start off the weekly challenges for our new team.  You will be seeing some wonderful projects made by some very talented ladies.

This was actually my first time using A Muse Studio products and I must say that I really like them.  For my first project I decorated a couple of Mason jars, aka drinking glasses, up for a little Valentine dinner,  I used the A Muse Studio paper, Straws, Twine and Stamp set "Hearts a' Plentie" products for this project.

Then for my second project I made a Valentine Card with some lollipops, I  used the A Muse Studio Twine, Straws, Paper, and Stamp Set "Woo Hoo for You" products for this project.
