CAS-ual Friday -Buttons and Twine

Have you checked out Papertrey Ink’s newest release?! It may be my favorite yet! Full of garden-y goodness and fabulous fruits (can you tell that alliteration is a favorite of mine!?)

After looking through the design team’s projects, I was inspired to create something fruity.

Enter: the current CAS-ual Friday challenge.

This week’s challenge is to use buttons and twine in a clean and simple creation.

Now, typically, buttons and twine are used as embellishments in cardmaking. Never being one to follow directions, I took this challenge as an opportunity to use buttons and twine in a wacky sorta way.

I gathered up a ton of purple buttons to create a little bunch of grapes! It was really simple!
Now for the twine…it’s there…I promise!
I used Twinery Baker’s Twine in Honeydew to make those little spiral vines. Here’s how I did it:
  •  With my fingers, I rubbed craft glue onto a length of twine. Then I wrapped the still-tacky twine onto a skewer.
  • Within 15 minutes the twine was firm and I removed it from the skewer. I had to wiggle the skewer a bit, since the twine had adhered to it. The result was a perfect little “twine vine” for my bunch of grapes!
I finished off this clean and simple card with the perfect sentiment from Denami Designs – which is so fitting, since Denami is this week’s CAS-ual Friday sponsor!
Thanks a bunch for stopping by for some Damask Love! Have a wonderful day!
 
Supplies:
Stamps: Denami Designs Thanks A Bunch sentiment
Ink: Stampin Up (Elegant Eggplant)
Paper: Papertrey Ink (Kraft, Rustic Cream, Ripe Avocado)
Other: Papertrey Ink (Plum Pudding vintage buttons) Twinery (baker’s twine in honeydew)

Keep on crafting with these other posts

However, I’ve the viewpoint that notebook computers are still not nearly powerful more than enough to be a good choice if you usually do projects that require plenty of power, for example video editing and enhancing. But for net surfing, statement processing, and many other frequent computer functions they are perfectly, provided you may not mind small screen size. Many thanks sharing your notions.

    Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

I’d personally also like to convey that there might be situation that you will have a loan and don’t need a cosigner such as a National Student Aid Loan. In case you are getting financing through a standard banker then you need to be made ready to have a co-signer ready to assist you to. The lenders may base their very own decision on the few issues but the greatest will be your credit rating. There are some financial institutions that will in addition look at your work history and determine based on this but in almost all cases it will be based on on your ranking.

    I mastered more interesting things on this fat reduction issue. Just one issue is a good nutrition is highly vital whenever dieting. A tremendous reduction in fast foods, sugary foodstuff, fried foods, sweet foods, beef, and bright flour products may be necessary. Retaining wastes parasites, and toxins may prevent targets for fat-loss. While specified drugs briefly solve the matter, the unpleasant side effects are not worth it, and in addition they never provide more than a momentary solution. This is a known fact that 95 of celebrity diets fail. Thank you for sharing your ideas on this site.

    I have taken note that of all different types of insurance, medical health insurance is the most marked by controversy because of the discord between the insurance policies company’s necessity to remain making money and the buyer’s need to have insurance cover.
