Trendy Bakers Twine~Butterfly Tag

Hello all! Spring is in the air and today I am sharing a tag for the Trendy Twine blog with that theme. It features Cotton Candy Trendy Twine which is a sweet twist of light pink and light blue.
I started with a Sky Chunky Tag-It, adhered a 3" Paper Doily, then added a Round Butterfly Vintage Inspired Tag popped up with foam tape. Cotton Candy Sequins matched the color scheme perfectly! The sentiment was stamped from the Smile stamp set in black on kraft paper. At the top of the tag, I placed Chevron Ribbon through the opening and tied a double knot of Cotton Candy Trendy Twine around the ribbon. The final touch was gluing a small bow of Cotton Candy Trendy Twine beneath the sentiment. 

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

You can also find Cotton Candy along with Posy and Sky in the Cotton Candy Sampler. Each color is ten yards in length, perfect for building a variety of Trendy Twine colors!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Graduation Cards

I am trying to work ahead a bit for events I know I will need cards for this year. Graduation cards were definitely on my to do list! When I saw the Echo Park Graduation papers, I knew I needed to grab them. I used both the 12x12 collection and 6x6 paper pad for these cards in conjunction with the OWH sketch #1 (first page of the linked pdf).
In all, I created 8 cards, 2 of each design.
The 3x3 journaling cards in the 6x6" paper pad made these cards a snap!
The only embellishment was Nail Art striping tape (essentially thin metallic washi tape) that created a border between the two background patterned papers.
Adhesives used include ATGfoam tape, and Bearly Art precision glue. On this last card, I also added a few gold star sequins from the Delightful Sequins mix to bring gold to the focal point.
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Easter Blessings Layout

Hello all! I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with something a little different than I usually create...a 12x12 scrapbook page! My now 5 year old daughter reminded me that I still don't have her first year album completed, so I took the opportunity to work on that a bit with this month's Trendy Twine twist, Watermelon Taffy.
Patterned papers are from Echo Park's Celebrate Easter paper pad. For captions, I used a Pink Bracket Card, then added Christmas Mint Trendy Page Dots in the curve of the side brackets, used a hole punch to punch the paper out of the center of the dots and wrapped and tied Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine in both areas. Documenting the Everyday stamp set was perfect for stamping sentiments on the page! The inks I used were VersaFine Onyx Black and VersaFine Clair Charming Pink.
The title was created in Sure Cuts a Lot, cut out on my Silhouette Cameo and popped up with foam tape. I wrapped Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine around the corner of the photo and embellished throughout the page with Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems that I glued on with Bearly Art Precision glue. One other embellishment I used was a metallic orange washi tape.

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

Annie's Paper Boutique also has an awesome little Watermelon Taffy Sampler. Each color is ten yards in length and is wound on a wooden clothespin for easy use and storage. Colors in the set are Limeade, Watermelon Taffy, and Tickled Pink.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Quick Girl Birthday Cards

Hello all! I recently purchased some Echo Park papers that had been on sale and I had been really wanting to create with them! One was the Magical Birthday Girl 12x12 paper pad, which is what I used for today's post.
I will admit, the paper pad came with more focal point papers than overall patterns than what I had anticipated, so I had to pair them with solid cardstock backgrounds. In all, the 3x4" journaling cards made these cards a quick make! No stamping or coloring needed. I used ATG for all the paper layers and mini Glue Dots to adhere sequins to embellish. 
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
