May Flowers Challenge: Crocheted Flower Card

Have you started on your project yet for the May Flowers Challenge?? 

Today is the last day to submit an entry and 

we'd love to have you play along with us! 

You can enter your "May Flowers" project here. 

Today, we have one of our fabulous design team members sharing her "spin" on our May Flowers theme...and it does not disappoint! 

~ ~ ~ ~ 

Hi Everyone! This is Amy from Scrapping Mommy here sharing a card with you to help inspire you to get your card created and submitted for the May Flowers Challenge...and remember - it is the last day to get your card uploaded into our gallery!!! 

 I love to crochet and make cards, too, so to combine the best of both worlds, I created this crocheted flower card using bakers twine...

I used the Strawberry, Cantaloupe, Lilac, Cappuccino, and Peapod bakers twine on my card. 

The flowers, stems and leaves are simply crocheted with single crochets and chains.  I also added a strip of adhesive to the base where the flowers are and added some scraps of the Peapod bakers twine for grass. 

 Here is a closer look......

I used some SRM Stickers for the sentiment for my card.  I created the cloud background with a die cut cloud piece and blending blue inks around the edges of it.  I finished off the card with a little more bakers twine and buttons. 

I hope you can join us for this great challenge!

 If you participate, you'll be entered to win a $25 shopping spree to ScrapbookPal.com! 

Have a great day!!

Hugs,

Amy

Autumn in Australia

Hi it's Kellie here with you today to share a card 

all about flowers for our :

It's Autumn here in Australia and so the trees are losing their leaves and flowers are wilting.  But I love the look of all the yellow leaves and I love the flowers that do bloom in Autumn and it's becoming one of my favourite months, when it's not cold, brrrrr....

I made a card the other week for Mother's Day with this challenge in mind.  I needed one for the Mother in law as well of course.

The card is a rather simple card, but even known I didn't use a lot my favourite feature on this card is the Natural Twine.  The way it stands out, comes off with a rustic look and not look 'messy' it really was the perfect middle to the burlap flower.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and I have no doubt you have been enjoying the other Twinery girls and their inspiration, 

because wow they are talented!

Hana Ami May Flowers

Hi Everyone, Kathy here with another project for 

The Twinery's  

May Flowers Challenge. 

I've been blown away by the gorgeous projects The Twinery Design Team has created over the last couple of weeks!   If you haven't been following along, be sure to go back and check out their creations!  I decided to pull out my Hana Ami flower loom to create some twine flowers for my project.  

This frame and the easel are made completely from paper.

I used my Silhouette to cut out the pieces. 

Once the frame was put together, I decorated it with the flowers I created with my flower loom and some Sorbet, Blossom, Honeydew and Ocean twine. 

I mixed the flowers with some paper flowers to add some texture.   

I thought this was the perfect frame for this picture of me, my mom and my daughter from a few years ago...the colors coordinate so well!!

We'd love for you to play along with our challenge!  You have until Friday, May 24th at 11:59 pm to link up your May Flowers Project.  You can find all of the details and the link-up widget here.

One lucky winner will get a fun prize from ScrapbookPal.com!

Thanks for stopping by today, 

and I can't wait to see what you link up!

Saying 'Love U' with Flowers

Hello everyone Stacy Rodriguez here with you today sharing my take on the May Flowers Challenge.  You can see how to enter this super cool challenge HERE!

I created a card for this one, with some cream colored flowers and a big bow of twine in the middle of them.  The color of twine I used on this one is Pink Shimmer, I thought it went so well with the pattern paper I used.

Thanks so much for joining us today here on The Twinery blog, make sure you join in on the fun and give this challenge a shot!

Paper May Flowers

I love flowers. They always seem to bring a smile to my face, especially if they hand-picked and are presented in the sweaty, dirty hands of my kiddos. Hi, I'm Monika and I wanted to share with you a secret...I like to create home decor that presents a positive message. 

Some days, I find it's nice to walk by and see uplifting words 

to remind me how good my life really is.

Here's what I created for the latest challenge round:

I love to pick up these mini canvases, they're perfect for gifts and quick projects. I popped a piece of cardstock on top of the canvas, which I trimmed out with Buttercream baker's twine, created my paper flower on top of that and then to dress up my flower a bit more, I added a twine ball in Shore to the center. For extra bling, I added another twine ball alongside my stamped sentiment.

Wouldn't this also be such a welcome surprise for a co-worker going through a rough patch? I sure think so!

Be sure to link up your May Flower Challenge projects on the original challenge post here where you can get all the details on how to win a fabulous prize!

I hope you have a good day!

- Monika

NOTE  |  If you'd like to make your own paper flowers, 

you can find a tutorial here.

 

Sewing Seeds in the May Flowers Challenge

Hello! 

It's Tifany here and I am loving this new challenge! We've had so many great projects shared in our challenges, so we

hope you will join us for this fun one!

For this challenge I wanted to use this floral seed packet stamp and decided to make a tag in my version of a seed packet. (I added in my own personal challenge to create a purple project since it is Lupus Awareness Month and today is "Put On Purple" day.) 

I stamped the image, added a bit of depth with Copic markers, and then scored and folded to create the "packet"

I cut a tag to fit inside and then added a reinforcement and eyelet at the top of the tag, then I used The Twinery's Purple Shimmer twine as the finishing touch - love it!

Be sure to visit the original challenge post here on The Twinery's blog where you can get all the challenge details and enter your project to win a fabulous prize!
