SheetLoad of Masculine Sympathy Cards

Hello all! I am trying to get caught up a bit with projects I haven't shared with you, so today it is a SheetLoad of masculine sympathy cards. 

Patterned papers are from DCWV's Farmstead Harvest 6x6" stack. I used scraps of papers, so I didn't officially make the whole SheetLoad (July 2019), just used the sketch. The focal point was created with Cottage Cutz rectangle dies, Unity stamp set No Better Words and Scrapbook.com Camel and Dark Chocolate inks.

Adhesives used include Bearly Art precision glue, ATG and foam tape. The finishing touch was a trio of Park Lane 3mm gold gems.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Adhesives used include Bearly Art precision glue, ATG and foam tape.

Trendy Bakers Twine~St. Patty's Candy Cube

Hello all! Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog and with a new month, we have a new Trendy Twine to feature! Limeade Trendy Twine is a twist of bright lime and white, making it perfect for St. Patty's Day projects. Today I am sharing a fun and bright candy cube with that holiday theme.

I started with a clear 2"x2" Candy Cube and filled it with Rainbow flavored Nerds Gummy Clusters. I thought they were the perfect candy for this project! I made a belly band using paper from the Echo Park Happy St. Patrick's Day 6x6 paper pad. I did have to use 2 strips of paper to completely go around the box since it was only 6" wide. Once that was adhered to the box with Scor-tape, I wrapped Limeade Trendy Twine around the box a few times, taking care to not cover up the adorable images on the paper. I also used Bearly Art Precision glue to adhere two Bewitching Sequins for a little sparkle.

On to the top of the box! Annie's Paper Boutique has so many amazing tag-its, but since this box is 2x2 square, I wanted something a little smaller so you could still see the candy in the box, so I made my own. This tag was made with paper from the same paper pad and a banner die from the Pink and Main Card Cut Essentials dies set 2. Since there is a sun on the belly band paper, I used the Hello Sunshine sentiment from the Choose Happy Stamp set. It was stamped with SB.com pure white pigment ink and Wow! bright white embossing powder. I used Limeade Trendy Twine to make a double bow for the top of the tag, then finished it off with one more Bewitching Sequin. Isn't this project sweet?! I can't wait to give it away!

Here's what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Valentine Treat Packet

Hello all! Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with this sweet treat packet. It is perfect for Valentine's Day or any day to give to someone you love! The main star of this project is a Cranberry Treat Packet and it is embellished with Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine. That twist is the perfect twine for Valentine's Day since it has both red and pink!

As I mentioned, I started with a Cranberry Treat Packet and added strips of paper from Echo Park's Love Notes collection. The top flap was decorated with a die cut from GMD Big & Little Pierced Chain Heart die set. I stamped a sentiment on the heart using the APB You & Me stamp set and SB.com Candy Shop Pink ink. The Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine was woven through the big holes around the outside of the die, tied in a bow at the bottom of the heart, then adhered to the treat packet with foam tape. A trio of Raspberry Cupcake Sequins were the finishing touch! Other adhesives used include Bearly Art precision glue and mini Glue Dots. Of course, the best part about these treat packets is they come with little zip top bags that are food safe...to which I added Valentine Nerds Gummy Clusters candy. If you haven't tried this candy yet, do yourself a favor and do so. It is delicious and perfect for your valentine projects!

Here's what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine

Cranberry Treat Packet

APB You & Me stamp set

Raspberry Cupcake Sequins

If you don't need a whole spool of Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine, consider the Cherry Cupcake Sampler that includes 10 yards each of Posy, Cherry Cupcake, and Berry Trendy Twines.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
