Design Team Round-up Time!

Every week, we will feature the DT's latest and greatest!

Here's a stunning, jaw-droppingly, supah dupah cute, teacup from Kelly! She was going for the Alice In Wonderland feel:

Kelly used the Color By Number Kit with a cool template. Visit her blog for full details! I love this project!

Here are some Clean and Striking creations that I created this week using Torendi goodies:

This card uses Splitcoaststampers.com sketch, SC280, and those really awesome Nerdy Bird Papers! I love taking an ultra-complicated to me sketch and making it CAS and tiffy-fied!

This altered gift bag uses the item of the week, the Happy Friends OPP tape! It's 50% off! Tape is ALL THE RAGE right now, so why not give it a whirl at a great discounted price? It's $3.50 for 16 yards! You can't beat that :) The papers are from The Color By Number and Modern Red Kits.

What will the DT think of next week? Stay tuned!

Do you like to "Color by Number?"

It's Torendi's May Kit of the Month! After I took the photos of the kit and saw all the colors against the numbered Jillibean Soup patterned paper I knew that was the perfect name.

March into Cuteness with Our Newest Kit!

When I saw these new Bam Pop! K is for Kawaii stamps I KNEW they had to be in a Torendi kit, since we LOVE kawaii things around here.  Our March kit "Framed Cuteness" is full of fun spring colors that will go perfectly with those adorable stamps.  (I'm looking forward to using that little bunny and Sassafras paper on some of my own Easter projects SOON)

For you!

I have been eyeing this stamp set ever since it arrived at Torendi from Japan. I finally found some time to sit down and play with it this weekend.

Today Stamp Set - by Shinzi Katoh

I created a quick and easy card set using the "for you" stamp and Jillibean Soup papers from the December "Modern Red" kit and some Jillibean Soup Kraft! (If you haven't tired their kraft paper before, you should, it has a WONDERFUL feel to it like no other paper.)

Here is a close up of the stamped image.

Now I am just having a hard time deciding if I want to give this gift set away as a gift, or keep the cards to give to people with gifts! lol

New Items!

These fun Jillibean Soup Ribbons have just been added to the Torendi Store, find them HERE! (they just might be a hint into next month's kit)
