Hello Twine Lovers! Angi here with much excitement as I share my first official Twinery project with all of you. I made a gift box and mini card set for a friend. I added baker's twine to several places. Notably, I added twine to a wooden skewer and inserted it into the gift box. Be sure to add adhesive to the skewer first before wrapping it to set the twine in place.

The mini card was also fun to make.

I added double layers of baker's twine to the sentiment.

I dressed up the front of the box with embellishments.

I added even more twine to the affirmation card that says...

"Be positive...Be True...Be Grateful...."

I used yummy "Blossom" twine for this project.
Be sure to pick up some in the Twinery store.

A Rainbow of Wishes

Hi everyone! I am Jamie and I am so excited to

share my first post for The Twinery!

Today I have created a rainbow using The Twinery's Maraschino, Mandarin, Lemondrop, Peapod, and Caribbean Twine and a Silhouette cut! The Silhouette file had individual stripes for the rainbow so rather than cutting colored paper, I used a double-sided adhesive paper and placed the strips on my card. I uncovered one strip at a time, laying three strands of the same color twine on each strip! Using a double-sided adhesive already in the shape you want it makes placing your twine so easy!

Thanks for stopping by the Twinery today!

Supplies Used: The Twinery Twine: Maraschino, Mandarin, Lemondrop, Peapod and Caribbean; Papers: Let's Party Pyramid Pad Momenta; Die Cuts: Samantha Walker, Rainbow Card Silhoutte; Stickers: SRM; Flair: Cuddle and Coo Momenta; Markers: Black, Creative Memories and Glitter Pen, Sakura; Adhesives: Wonderfilm, P K Glitz, Foam Circles, Recollections.

The Martha Stewart Show

It's an exciting day at The Twinery today!

Our baker's twine was mentioned on The Martha Stewart Show this morning!

The show was entitled, The Purple Party Show. You can see a short preview clip of the show HERE. We'll post the full video of the show once it's available.

Ultimate party planner, Darcy Miller, shared ideas from her daughter Pippa's Purple Birthday Party! She shared ideas on how you can add an exciting pop of purple to your celebrations with festive kids' party ideas, favors, invitations & more!

Darcy shared that they used our Lilac baker's twine to string her daughter's birthday banner together and each member in the audience also went home with a free Lilac spool of twine from The Twinery!

Then, actress Ali Wentworth also joined Martha to make some fun crafts - is anyone else making those adorable tie-dyed t-shirts and t-shirt pom poms?!?!

If you missed The Martha Stewart Show this morning, The Purple Party Show also airs again on The Hallmark Channel at 2:00pm EST this afternoon and also again at 1:00pm EST tomorrow afternoon. Check your local listings. We'll also post the video segment if it's available later this week.

Shamrocks, Lace & Baker's Twine

Hi there!

Jessica here sharing my first official Twinery project with you today! In honor of St. Patrick's Day coming up, I thought I'd make a quick and simple shamrock card with some heart punches, patterned papers, lace, and of course Twine! I have found that I love to layer twine on top of ribbon or lace - it has a great impact with very little bulk.

As you can see from the photo above, I wrapped some Peapod Twine around the lace a couple of times and then tied a quick bow. I also used the twine to thread the green button embellishment for the shamrock.

Happy St. Patty's Day a bit early!

FEATURED DESIGNER

Angelica Suarez

Meet Our Designers - Angelica Suarez

Welcome to our weekly segment called, Meet Our Designers!

It will be a chance for you to meet each of our Design Team Members in more depth...get to know them, see their pretty faces and take a peek at what they love to create! We know you'll love this segment and we cannot wait to introduce you to each of our fabulous 2012 Design Team Members!

~~~~~~~~~

We'd like to introduce you to Angelica Suarez!

Angelica is a Southern California native residing in the Frozen Tundra, a.k.a. Green Bay, Wisconsin, with her husband of 7 years, Jorge, and their two spunky preschoolers, Marlee (2.5) and Lucy (4).

She's the Co-Founder and Illustrator of Market Street Stamps - a clear photopolymer stamp company founded in January 2010. Angelica's background in logistics, print, and customer service have provided all the skills necessary in nurturing a fast-growing company. She credits the key to success in building and maintaining solid relationships with suppliers, customers, and her faithful blog readers & followers.

You can also find her crafting marketing ideas and coordinating the Design Team over at Peachy Keen Stamps - a company owned by her mom and stepdad.

Even with a hectic schedule and a full day, Angelica still finds time to create each day - even if it's just a quick doodle in her art journal.

Twine has played a huge role in unleashing creativity for her - if it'll hold glue, it'll hold twine - and she's designed jewelry hangers, mini-albums, pencil cup holders, numerous cards, scrapbook pages and display pieces using the soft, eco-luxe twine from The Twinery.

Angelica was also on our Design Team last year as one of our first-ever design team members! We loved her work and we're so thrilled to have her back on for a second term with us!

Take a peek at some of the crazy amazing twine craftin' ideas Angelica has created using our baker's twine...
