The Twinery + TSOL!


Are you ready for some fun?

The {Stamps} of Life and The Twinery Design Teams are playing together for this hop!  You should have arrived from my friend, Julie Ranae's.  If not, be sure the visit The Twinery Blog to start at the top of the hop!

About The Twinery:

Whether you’re gift wrapping, crafting or tying up baked goods to give to a friend, our baker’s twine adds a fresh, yet nostalgic look to any project at hand!

About The {Stamps} of Life:
We feature high quality, made in the USA, clear stamps and digital stamps/brushes for stampers, card makers and scrapbookers. Feel free to browse our gallery with more than 2500 samples using our stamps, watch our free how-to videos and join our club!
As you make your way through the hop make sure you comment on each and every post. There will be two prize winners chosen randomly among the blogs:
  • One winner will win TWO stamp sets (winner's choice) valued at $12.95 (total retail value $26.90) from The {Stamps} of Life
  • One winner will win the Ultimate Color Sampler Pack ($25 value!) from The Twinery!!! 

The prize winners will be announced on The {Stamps}of Life and The Twinery blogs on Wednesday November 16th.


Today's card attempts to capture the magic of the Christmas season, although it would be just as appropriate for any snowy winter day!  It features a pair of traditional bright Christmas green mittens hanging from a jingle-bell-embellished twine bow.  The mittens, from TSOL's Christmas2build, are colored with Copic markers, then adorned with a jeweled snowflake and Stickled sparkly cuffs.  A light sponging of the The Twinery's  peapod twine with tea dye distress ink helps its bright white match the creamier ivory tones of the designer paper, a scrap of Cosmo Cricket's Jolly by Golly that was some of my favorite from last year.  The sentiment, from minis4circles, is stamped on one of several Spellbinder's snowflakes which were frosted with Stickles in two colors (frosted lace and eucalyptus).

From here, you're visiting Monique Hansen.  Can't wait to see what she's got to share with us!
