Timeless Twine Design Team Day AND Mickey and Friends Monday!!!

Hi Everybody!
Today is a great day, because not only is it my Timeless Twine Design Team day.....

it's also Mickey and Friends Monday here on my blog!  

So the project I have to share with you today is doing double duty :O)  Here are the details for my crafty creation:

*Elmo Party Cricut cartridge = hat and hat layer (blue)

*Timeless Twine = Aqua Blue, Olive Green, Pumpkin Orange, Lemonade Yellow, Cherry Red    

*Jaded Blossom = Miscellaneous Fun set

*patterned paper from my stash

*Stickles in various colors

*white ink

*white gel pen for detailing

*Using them Elmo Party cart, I cut the hat, and blue layer.

*I absolutely love that there are so many different colors of twine to choose from!  I was able to make this colorful pom pom for the top of my party hat really pop with all the different colors :O)

*To make the top pom pom, I took all five colors at once and made a bow with them using my Unity Bow maker.

*Then I just cut the ends of each side of the bow.

*I wanted it a little fuller, so I folded both ends of the bow together, and spread them out a little bit.

*For the pom pom that's in front, I again made a bow, and just cut the ends.

*I did use a little bit of hairspray for this "photo shoot" to keep all the ends where I wanted them :)

*To attach them to the party hat, I used a 3D pop dot (these are thicker and "beef-ier").

*I stamped the sentiment on the hat layer, and added some detailing with a white gel pen.

*Then I added a dot of Stickles in the middle of each dot on the patterned paper.  I also added some to the bottom layer.

Isn't that such a cute sparkly hat?!  Other than the drying time for the Stickles, these don't take long to make at all.  TFL, and have a twine-tastic and Magical Monday!!

Mickey And Friends Monday!!

Hi Everybody!

Welcome to another Mickey and Friends Monday!! Now you can say you have a reason to look forward to Mondays, whoo hooo! Today's MFM is a little different.  The character I'm highlighting today isn't exactly a Disney animated character, but he is a child's character who is loved by everybody............ 

It's Elmo!!!!!  My son recently had an Elmo themed birthday (or as he calls him, Memo!), so I wanted to share some of the projects I made.

*I used the Elmo party cart for all papercrafted projects :) 

*Here is our decorated mantle.

(Elmo balloons compliments of Grandma!)

*I love this banner.  This cart tells you how many banner shapes to cut, and the happy birthday comes as one cut so you don't even have to cut each letter individually!

*This game is also pre-designed on the cart.  It's a "pin the crayon on Elmo" game.

*You cut a crayon out for each player.

*It's super simple to cut and put together!

*I took these little red balls I bought at the Dollar Tree, cut out eyes and a nose from the Elmo cart in vinyl, and I had some simple party themed party favors!

*NOTE:  The vinyl was for appearance only.  It didn't stick to the balls as I had hoped, but they looked cute, and once the kids started bouncing the balls, they didn't really care that the faces fell off, lol!

*I added this cut to a tabletop decoration for a great centerpiece!

*Here is the amazingly cute birthday boy!!  While he has definitely entered the "terrible two's", he can still melt me with those hazel eyes, and adorable face!!!

I hope you enjoyed these projects, and that you will be inspired on how to use your Disney cuts, and all character creations!  Make sure you come back every Monday for some more Disney inspiration. Have a magical day :O)
