Trendy Bakers Twine~Happy Easter!

Hello all and happy Easter! I am posting for the Trendy Twine blog today with this adorable Easter gable box. It features Posy Trendy Twine, our twine of the month.

I started with a Small Gable Box and covered both sides with patterned paper. I then created the large tag for the front of the box using more patterned papers, image, and sentiment from Echo Park Paper's It's Easter Time 6x6" pad. I created a pom pom out of Posy Trendy Twine for the bunny tail and stapled Pink Chevron Ribbon to the top. I glued the lower portion of the tag to the front of the Small Gable Box. The final touch was a trio of Cotton Candy Sequins adhered with mini glue dots.

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

Posy Trendy Twine

Pink Chevron Ribbon

Cotton Candy Sequins

If you don't need a full spool, you can find Posy in the Cotton Candy Sampler PLUS Cotton Candy and Sky Trendy Twines. Each twist is ten yards in length and comes on a wooden clothespin.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Bunny Trail Card

Hello all! I am posting for the Trendy Twine blog today with this fun pastel Easter card. It features Posy Trendy Twine.

The patterned papers and ephemera are from Echo Park's It's Easter Time collection. They matched the Posy Trendy Twine so well! I love pastel colors for springtime! I wrapped Posy Trendy Twine three times along each side of the green center panel of paper before adhering it to the card base. For the focal point, I used a Sky Chunky Tag-It with more Posy Trendy Twine laced through the top. The tag was popped up with foam tape to the card. Lastly, I used mini Glue Dots squares to add Cotton Candy Sequins for some subtle shine.

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

Trendy Bakers Twine~Easter Ducks Tag

Hello all! I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with a sweet Easter tag. I absolutely fell in love with the Easter Basket Ducks Retro Tag and knew I wanted that as my focal point. This tag would be great on an Easter basket or treat!

I started with a Pink Chunky Tag-It, then adhered a 3" Paper Doily offset to the tag. I then popped the Easter Basket Ducks Retro Tag up with foam tape at an angle on the front. At the top of the tag, I used Turquoise Chevron Ribbon and tied a bow of Bubblegum Taffy Trendy Twine around it. The sentiment was from the APB Greetings Stamp set and was stamped in gray VersaFine Clair ink. As a final touch, I glued Cotton Candy Sequins to the tag.

SheetLoad of Anniversary Blessings Cards

Hello all! I am back with another SheetLoad of cards. This time it is anniversary cards. They were created with the May 2024 SheetLoad of Cards sketch and papers from the DCWV Romantic Life stack.

I kept the cards pretty simple. The "anniversary" sentiment was from GMD Happy die coordinating word stamps and stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black. The word "blessings" was created in SCAL and cut out of adhesive vinyl with my Silhouette Cameo. 

Silver glitter cardstock was around the center focal point, which added sparkle and shine! Adhesives used include ATG, and Bearly Art precision glue.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Football Cards

Hello all! Today I am sharing two quick football cards I created for my boys. I used papers from Echo Park's 12x12 Football paper collection. Adhesives used include ATG, Bearly Art precision glue, Foam Tape.

Embellishments for the first card were GMD Strawberry Shortcake enamel dots, and the second card features Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine.
 

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~He Is Risen Card

Hello all! It is time for another post for the Trendy Twine blog! We have been getting some sunny days lately, and this card captures some of that cheerfulness. The featured Trendy Twine of the month on this card is Bubblegum Taffy.

To begin with, I adhered patterned papers from Echo Park's Have Faith collection onto a kraft cardstock mat. I then used a small hole punch to add 2 holes in each corner to weave Bubblegum Taffy Trendy Twine through. I thought it created a fun border and great visual interest. For the focal point, I used an oval die with white cardstock and a scalloped oval die with vellum to create the background. I then die cut the Cottage Cutz He Is Risen die cross and words with navy blue cardstock and glued them to the vellum with Bearly Art glue. The top layer of the cross was cut from white glitter cardstock and also glued ontp the cross base. I used foam tape to pop up the oval onto the card front. For extra shimmer, I ran around the outer edge of the scalloped circle with Clear Glitter Wink of Stella, then added Cotton Candy Sequins in the four corners of the card with Glue Dots glue squares. 

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

Bubblegum Taffy Trendy Twine

Cotton Candy Sequins

If you don't need a full spool, you can find Bubblegum Taffy in our Aqua Sampler  PLUS Aqua Licorice, Aqua Midnight, and Twisted Gumball. Each twist is ten yards in length and comes on a wooden clothespin.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Golf 80th Birthday Card

Hello all! I am back to share a card that I created last year, but didn't have time to share it yet! It was a requested theme and since no one in my family golfs, I didn't have any craft supplies that pertained to that theme. Pinterest to the rescue for ideas that used basic craft supplies!

Patterned papers are from the Pebbles Lakeside paper pad. The green oval was die cut with a Cottage Cutz stitched oval die, then I used a circle punch for both the hole in the green and the golf ball. I used Totally Kraft Trendy Twine to make the flag pole. The 80 was stamps from the Craftin Desert Divas Bring on the Cake stamp set and the sentiment was from Whimsy Stamps Boy Talk set. Both were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Graduation Cards

Hello all! I am back again with another large grouping of cards. This time it is graduation cards because my oldest child is graduating in May and I want to have plenty of cards made ahead for graduations we will be invited to! These are all created with Echo Park Graduation supplies...6x6 papers, 12x12 papers, and ephemera.

All of these cards were based on the No Scraps Sketch Set #1 from Bourbon Creek Crafts. I really love that sketch! Additional supplies used on these cards include: ATG, Bearly Art precision glue, Foam Tape, gold and black thin tape, and Cottage Cutz stitched circle dies.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Batch of Boy Cards

Hello all! Today I am sharing a batch of boy cards that I recently created. I used focal points and scraps of paper from the Echo Park All Boy 6x6 paper pad. You can see another group of cards I created with those papers HERE.

This first card has a sports theme to it. Embellishments include Park Lane 3mm gold gems and Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine. The tan banner was popped up with foam tape for extra dimension.

This next card is a neutral theme and is all adhered on one level with ATG for easy mailing. A trio of GMD Strawberry Shortcake enamel dots were the only embellishment I added to it.

The next two cards have a bit more color and paper pieces !

I thought this dinosaur themed card was adorable! Once again, this card is all adhered with ATG, for no extra dimension. I did use Bearly Art Precision glue to add a trio of Twisted Lime sequins onto the front. 

Last of all is this super hero themed card. I did pop up this focal point with foam tape and glued Merry sequins with Bearly Art precision glue to finish it off. Now I have several boy cards in my stash and I was able to use up some scraps!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Pinochle Birthday Card

Hello all! This was a custom 5x7 card that I created last year for a 90th birthday. It was for someone who loves Pinochle. 

I didn't get anywhere to purchase a deck of Pinochle cards, so I scanned and printed cards that I had at home to create those for the front. Patterned paper is from DCWV's Marquee stack. The gorgeous flower was die cut using Sizzix Thinlits Icelandic Poppy die. I printed the 90 onto light blue paper, then die cut around it with a CC stitched circle die, then matted it with a CC scalloped stithed circle die. It was popped up with foam tape. I decided I still wanted a sentiment on the front, so I die cut a small tag and stamped a sentiment in black on it, finishing the tag off with a bow of Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine. For a little extra sparkle, I finished the card off with a trio of silver gems. Other adhesives used include Bearly Art precision glue, and ATG.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

SheetLoad of Masculine Birthday Cards

Hello all! I am back to share a sheetload of masculine birthday cards that I created last year, but never got around to sharing! They are 5x7 size.

I used the July 2024 SheetLoad of Cards sketch. Patterned papers were from The Paper Studio's Joyfall Gathering paper pad.

The focal point was die cut with Pink Fresh Studio Fancy Label Frames and my Spellbinders Platinum 6 machine. One card was for an uncle who turned 95, and the others were stamped with a sentiment from the My Craft Spot Chalkboard Sentiments stamp set and Scrapbook.com Dark Chocolate ink. I colored the sentiment with Sprectrum Noir markers (GY4, AB2, BO4). Adhesives used include ATG and Bearly Art Precision glue.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Lucky Day Card

Hello all! Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with a new project that features Limeade Trendy Twine!  It is a twist of bright lime and white, making it perfect for St. Patty's Day projects. Today I am sharing a monochromatic card with that theme.

I started with papers from the Echo Park Happy St. Patrick's Day 6x6 paper pad and layered them with borders of Limeade Trendy Twine. Bearly Art Precision glue is the perfect glue to lay a thin line for twine applications such as the one on this card! I also used a bit more Limeade Trendy Twine to tie a knot in the lower right corner of the card. For the focal point, I simply used a sentiment square from the same paper pad, used foam tape behind it, then matted it with a white 3" paper doily to make it pop off the card. A trio of Bewitching Sequins gave a little shine to the card and matched the green theme perfectly!

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

Limeade Trendy Twine

3" paper doily

Bewitching Sequins

If you don't need a whole spool of Limeade, consider the Going Green Sampler! It includes 10 yards each of the following Trendy Twine colors: Limeade, Totally Limeade, Holly, and Twisted Lime.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
