The Twinery and SRM!

I'm very excited to be part of day two of The Twinery and SRM Stickers Product Showcase. 

and



Yesterday, the first group of designers from both companies showcased their projects. You can see their fabulous creations here), and today the fun continues!  The complete lists of participants can be found on both the Twinery Blog and SRM's Blog.  Be sure to stop by each of the designer's blogs and leave some love!

OK, here's what I came up with!  My first project uses one of the fun tubes from SRM (these are great for holding treats and make fun gifts and favors!).  I created a butterfly using the tube (wrapped in Honeydew twine) as the body.  The wings and head were cut using an SVG file and some springy papers from Bella Blvd.



I added some Blossom, Caribbean and Lilac Twine for a bow and also outlined the wing sections with those colors. 

My next project uses another SRM tube along with some of their wonderful 4th of July and We've got Your Border Birthday stickers. 



To create my firecracker goody tube, I first wrapped the tube in Maraschino, Denim and Shore Twine.


For the "sparkler" part, I used my Hana Ami Flower Loom and created a small flower from Buttercream twine.  I cut the end loops to make it seem more like a flame.  The wick is a piece of toothpick, wrapped in Stone Twine and stuck into the top of the SRM tube.  I used the border star stickers to decorate the top of the tube.


I cut more of the star stickers from the SRM Border sheet and attached them to the end of my bow strings


To complete the project, I attached the flag sticker to some punched card stock.

Now comes the fun part!  How would you like to 3 full spools of Bakers Twine from the Twinery? (colors will be winner's choice, a $42 value!) 

To be eligible to win, you MUST leave a comment on each participating designer from The Twinery (16 total).  A complete list of designers is on the Twinery Blog.  Deadline to leave comments is 11:59pm Sunday, April 29th.

Thanks for looking, and please leave comments! (I LOVE getting them!)  Also, if you're not already, I'd love for you to follow my blog!
