Trendy Bakers Twine~North Pole Treat Bag

Hello all! Today I am sharing another Christmas in July post for the Trendy Twine blog. This time I went with a rustic Christmas vibe for a treat bag. Holly Berry Trendy Twine is the perfect color combo for that look!

I started with a Kraft Chevron Treat Bag and stamped a sentiment from the APB Merry & Bright stamp set in SB.com Cardinal Red ink. I then added treats to the bag, but you can also fill these bags with cookies, candy, nail polish, a matchbox car, a toy blind bag, small cosmetics, gift card, etc. The possiblities for this kind of gift wrapping are endless! Once I folded the flap over, I wrapped Holly Berry Trendy Twine around it and tied it in a bow. I then added a North Pole Trading Company No. 2 Retro Tag that I had inked with brown around the edges to make it more vintage looking (The North Pole Trading Company Vintage Inspired Tag would have also been a great pick for this project!) I finished it off with a few O Christmas Tree sequins adhered with mini Glue Dots. 

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

Trendy Bakers Twine~Christmas Ornament Card

Hello all! I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with a new card. We are having a Christmas in July theme this month, and I was thrilled to break out my Christmas supplies and have some fun!

The background paper and fussy cut ornament were from The Paper Studio's Star of Bethlehem paper pad. The dark blue cardstock was embossed with a Kaisercraft Tiles embossing folder. After adhering the ornament with foam tape, I added Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine as a hanger and double bow for it. The sentiment was stamped using the APB Merry Christmas stamp set,VersaFine Clair Twilight ink, and heat embossed with Wow! Clear Sparkle embossing powder. I wrapped Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine around that strip of paper two time, then popped it up with foam tape. The finishing touch was a trio of Peppermint Icicle Sequins adhered with Bearly Art precision glue.

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

Trendy Bakers Twine~Friendship Tin Tie Bag

Hello all! Today I am sharing a project for the Trendy Twine blog. It is a tin tie treat bag to give to a friend. It features two of the original twists of Trendy Twine, Tickled With Teal, and Strawberry Cupcake.

I started with a Kraft Tin Tie Bag and glued strips of patterned paper from The Paper Studio's Boho Vibes paper pad onto it. I then added short pieces of Tickled With Teal Trendy Twine, and Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine to the upper left of the bag. I then created the tag by starting with a Light Teal Large Tag-It and adding a pink 3" Paper Doily to the center. I stamped sentiment strips using APB Friendship stamps and Scrapbook.com Leather ink. Once those were glued to the tag, I made a double bow of Tickled With Teal Trendy Twine, and Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine for the top of it. Once the bag was closed, I attached the tag to the bag with a Mini Wooden Clothespin for easy access to the treats!  I decided to add a little shimmer to the tag and bag with Cotton Candy Sequins. They coordinated well and added just a bit more visual interest. 

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

Tickled With Teal Trendy Twine

Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine

Kraft Tin Tie Bag

Light Teal Large Tag-It

3" Paper Doily

APB Friendship stamps (currently on sale!)

Mini Wooden Clothespin

Both Trendy Twines that were used on this treat bag are available in the Original Trendy Bakers Twine Sampler if you are looking for a great starter of many colors!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Chicken Cards

Hello all! Welcome to a new month for the Trendy Twine blog! This month is a free for all with Trendy Twine colors, so I let my imagination run wild and ended up using both Krazy for Kraft Trendy Twine and Totally Kraft Trendy Twine on these chicken themed cards.

When I saw the fun chicken paper in the 6x6" Carta Bella Sunflower Market paper pad, I knew I wanted to make a card for my mom using it. Chickens have have a big part in her life! I used the Bourbon Creek Crafts No Scraps Sketch Set #1 and 3 patterned papers as the starting point for these cards. Once I had the paper pieces coordinated the way I wanted, I decided to glue a braid of Trendy Twine down the front of the card. Two have Krazy for Kraft Trendy Twine and the third one has Totally Kraft Trendy Twine because I thought it stood out better on the busy chicken paper. 

On one of the cards I decided to use the reverse of the chicken paper so it could be used for anyone. To build the focal point of the card, I adhered a kraft circle die cut from a GMD x-stitched die to a 3" Paper Doily. On the two chicken themed cards, using SB.com Leather ink I stamped a retired Raisin Boat chicken wire stamp. Once that was adhered to the card front with foam tape, I stamped the sentiment strip with a stamp from the APB Smile stamp set in SB.com Dark Chocolate ink and used ATG to place it on the circle.

The final touch was a trio of Chocolate Truffle Sequins that were adhered with Bearly Art precision glue.

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

Krazy for Kraft Trendy Twine

Totally Kraft Trendy Twine

3" Paper Doilies Color Bundle

Smile stamp set

Chocolate Truffle Sequins

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
