Trendy Bakers Twine ~ Fall Twine & Tag

Hello everyone!  I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with a twine & tag post.  I fell in love with the Happy Fall Pumpkins Print & Punch Tags I used on my treat bags earlier this month, so I decided to use that to make a festive fall tag!

I started with a Spring Green Large Tag-It and added a banner of DCWV printed cork for a fun fall texture.  The Happy Fall Pumpkins Print & Punch Tag (cut out with my Brother Scan N Cut) is the focal point and I matted it with a scalloped circle die cut.  I used Lineco Adhesive in a precision tip bottle to adhere Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Twine around the circle and the tiny bow.  At the top of the tag, I used a Kraft Brown Trendy Page Dot and more Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Twine for a tassel.  For the final embellishment, I glued on three Chocolate Truffle Sequins to the top right side.

Here's what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:
Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Twine
Spring Green Large Tag-It
Happy Fall Pumpkins Print & Punch Tag
Kraft Brown Trendy Page Dot
Chocolate Truffle Sequins

Elsa Happy Birthday Card

Earlier this month I had a niece celebrate a birthday.  I have so much fun creating for my nieces and making projects all frilly and sweet :)  My inspiration for this project was a 8.5"x11" Frozen paper pad by EK Success.

The cutting file for this card came from SVG Cuts' Five Minute Cards SVG kit.  The Elsa was part of the paper and I had the star cut her out.  I added some glitter to her dress to add a little extra sparkle.

For embellishments, I added two coordinating colors of crinkle seam binding and adhesive pearls.

Here is a peek at the inside of the card which I embellished with paper strips that were scraps from the other cuts.  Of course, I had to make a coordinating envelope to go with the card as well!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Sweet Baby Card

Hello all!  I created this card a while back because I wanted a neutral baby card.  So often I focus on baby cards for either boy or girl and forget that there are plenty of people who choose to not find out what they are having.

The papers are from DCWV's Animal Crackers stack and Jewel Toned Textured Cardstock stack.  The stamp was a gift from my crafty friend, Lisa, and it was stamped on a small oval scalloped shape from SVG Cuts (sized at 1.5" tall x 2.25" wide).  I embellished with In The Navy Trendy Twine and two coordinating buttons.  I used the curtain fold technique with the brown animal print.  You can see the tutorial for that HERE.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Oriental Trading Christmas Projects

Hello all!  I was able to take a little time to create projects with some of Oriental Trading's Christmas paper crafting goodies.  I really had a lot of fun playing with them.  All of my projects use the Bright Christmas Paper Pack for the patterned papers and other additional items.

This card started out with a cream A7 notecard.  I layered the patterned papers and washi tape onto the base and stamped the sentiment on as well.  I created the tree from a strip of burlap paper from DCWV's Burlap Paper stack, tied ribbons from the Christmas Printed Ribbons onto it and glued it to the paper.  The finishing touches were buttons from the Christmas Bag of Buttons and a bit of Candy Cane Trendy Twine.

My next card started with a red A7 notecard on which I layered the patterned papers.  I used the Fiskars Surecut Paper Trimmer for the papers and it cut them so well!  Once again, I added some ribbon and buttons.  The doily die is from Gina Marie Designs and the mitten stamp is from Unity.

This purse was fun to create using patterned paper and THIS tutorial.  I added gems from the 360 pc. Christmas Embellishment kit, ribbons and a stamped sentiment.

This sweet mug was cut using red cardstock and more of the patterned papers.  The svg file I used was from SVG Cut's Farmhouse Kitchen kit.  I added some buttons to embellish and filled it with hot chocolate and tied the cellophane bag with a candy cane and a ribbon.

This final card used a red A7 notecard, bright Christmas paper, the Fiskars paper trimmer, Christmas ribbon and Christmas jewels all from Oriental Trading.  The stamp was heat embossed on some vellum for a softer look.

All of these projects were fun to create and I simply love the selection of Christmas scrapbooking supplies that Oriental Trading carries. 

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Sweet Birthday Wishes Card

If you have been following my posts for the last month, you have seen me use DCWV's Confetti Stack A LOT.  I just can't help it!  This is my absolute favorite stack right now!  This card uses those papers and was for my niece's 4th birthday.

 I used the Hello Sweet stamp set from Pink and Main for the sentiment and a full bow of Raspberry Cupcake Trendy Twine.  That yummy cupcake is cut from SVG Cuts' Breezy Backyard Lever Cards kit.  I embellished it with heart brads, gold stickles and homemade enamel dots.  It is popped up on foam tape.  The confetti at the bottom of the card is part of the Confetti Stack!  It is in little pouches in the back of the stack :)

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Peanuts Valentines with Oriental Trading

Good morning!  Today I am sharing a lot of fun Valentine's day projects that I put together using products from Oriental Trading.  

They have SO many fun supplies to choose from to make up goodie bags! This year, they have several items that have Peanuts characters on them.  My boys FLIPPED when they saw these!

First off, I made these simple treat bags.  Inside the Medium Sheer Gift Bags are a Mini Neon Shuttle Pen,  Peanuts Valentine Stickers, and  Nestle Crunch Hearts Candy which has the Peanuts gang on the wrapper too!  I tied the top of the bags with Valentine Ribbon Assortment.

 Next, I have some cute square cards on which I featured the Peanuts Valentine Stickers.  I also used Pink & Red Super 50 Paper Pack, Cardstock Variety Pack, Self Adhesive Valentine Pearls & Jewels, andValentine Ribbon Assortment on these.  They are quick and cute, perfect to make several of!

This is a closeup of one. The doily diecut with the sticker is popped up with Foam Tape and I used Stick-Em Mini Adhesive Dots (my favorite dry glue adhesives!) to help adhere the ribbon.

 Last, but definitely not least, I decorated some DIY Notebooks in a sports theme to show you how easy it is to make Valentine's for boys too!  Here is a list of the supplies I used on these DCWV Glitter Basics Stack, Pink & Red Super 50 Paper Pack, Cardstock Variety Pack, Self Adhesive Valentine Pearls & Jewels, Valentine Ribbon Assortment, Foam Tape and very imprtantly, Red Line Double Sided Tape.  I used the double sided tape to adhere the paper to the cover of the notebook because their cover is a white canvas.  I wanted to make sure the paper didn't come off!

Here is the baseball one.  All of the SVG files that I used on these are from SVG Cuts' 24 Valentine's SVG Kit.  

 The football one, which I used a dots embossing folder on the brown heart to make it look more like a real football.

And last, but not least, the basketball one that I also embossed the orange layer on to make it look more realistic.  I added a  Peanuts Valentine's Day Pencil to each of the spirals of these notebooks so they can be ready to use.

Here is a recap of all the products I used from Oriental Trading:

DIY Notebooks

Peanuts Valentine's Day Pencil Assortment

Medium Sheer Gift Bags

Mini Neon Shuttle Pens

Peanuts Valentine Stickers

Nestle Crunch Hearts Candy

DCWV Glitter Basics Stack

Pink & Red Super 50 Paper Pack

Cardstock Variety Pack

Self Adhesive Valentine Pearls & Jewels

Valentine Ribbon Assortment

Foam Tape

I loved using them all!  Plus my boys were so excited when they saw all the Peanuts products, and the notebooks, and the pens...well, pretty much all of the supplies!  I would highly recommend any and all of them.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Sew Crafty Sign

Today I am describing this project in detail that was shared in yesterday's post.  I am totally loving this sign.  In fact, I have wanted to make it for a long time and am glad I finally took the time to do so.  The file I used for it is from SVG Cut's Sew Crafty kit.

I used paper from DCWV's Heirloom Stack, solid cardstock from here and here, wooden buttons, and adhesive dots all from Oriental Trading.  The frame is embossed with a wood embossing folder.

I used some yummy Lemon Tart Trendy Twine to cross stitch in the top right corner and wrap around the spool of thread.  On the dress form, I added some tulle and white satin ribbon to dress it up.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Sew Crafty Projects

As many of you know, I am crazy about anything sewing related!  I started sewing when I was in kindergarten and have stuck with it ever since.  I love the way papercrafting can encompass the sewing world too.  Here are projects that have that theme.  The majority of the products used on them are from Oriental Trading.

First off, I created this lovely sign. Who wouldn't want this hanging in their craft room? The file I used for it is from SVG Cut's Sew Crafty kit. I used paper from DCWV's Heirloom Stack, solid cardstock from here and here, wooden buttons, white satin ribbon and adhesive dots all from Oriental Trading.

My next project is a very vintage card.   I used paper from DCWV's Heirloom Stack, solid cardstock from here, wooden buttons, sewing stamps, artist safety pins, sewing charms, thin foam tape and  adhesive dots from Oriental Trading.

Next up is a sewing machine gift box!  The cutting file I used is from The Cutting Cafe.  I used paper from DCWV's Heirloom Stack, solid cardstock from here, wooden buttons, sewing washi tape and adhesive dots all from Oriental Trading.

For the pincushion card, I used solid cardstock from here and here, black baker's twine, sewing stamps, sewing washi tape, thin foam tape and adhesive dots from Oriental Trading.

Last, but definitely not least, I created this tag shaped card using a file from SnapDragon Snippets.  I used paper from DCWV's Heirloom Stack, solid cardstock from here and here, wooden buttons, sewing stamps, artist safety pins, sewing charms, and adhesive dots from Oriental Trading.

All of the products that I used from Oriental Trading Company to make this project were wonderful! I would recommend any and all of them to you.  They really have some amazing sewing themed supplies, as you can see.  I also used round storage bottles from them to store the extra wooden buttons.

Sweet Easter Buckets

Good morning!  I have been having so much fun creating Easter projects lately, and these buckets were at the top of my crafting list.  The supplies I used to make these were from Oriental Trading.  Yes, they have some awesome scrapbooking supplies there if you didn't know that!

 I started out with Bucket Containers and went a little crazy decorating them :)  The grass around the bottom of the bucket was cut from a SVG file from SVG Attic and I used paper from the Rainbow Paper Pack.  It cut well with my Silhouette Cameo!  All of the patterned papers and chipboard embellishments were from the Easter Escapade Paper Kit.  That paper also cut perfectly.  Did you see the sweet rubber duckies inside?  They are also from Oriental Trading and are so stinkin' cute!

This adorable bunny peeking out of a bucket is a SVG file from  SVG Cuts. All of the solid colored cardstock used in this project is from the Full Color Spectrum Paper Pack.

The layers of papers were adhered with permanent tape runner and Stick-Ems.  I found out that I love those Stick-Ems way more than the name brand glue dots!  They are stickier and adhere better.  Those pretty wooden buttons were the perfect touch to the buckets.

Here is the top view.   I added cardstock on the top and wrote names on tags, then finished it off with silver embellishments.   The handles were tied with Easter Escapades ribbon.

All of the products that I used from Oriental Trading Company to make this project were wonderful! I would recommend any and all of them to you.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Vintage Christmas Gift Set

Today I have a wonderful Christmas set to share with you.  I made them using products that I recently received from Oriental Trading Company. Did you know that they had scrapbooking supplies?   I love them!

 First, let me start with the card I created.  It is fairly CAS in style.  I wanted the DP and washi tape to be the focal point.  The patterned paper is OTC's Christmas Music paper pack.  The card base is from their Christmas Cardstock.   I used a permanent tape runner to adhere the layers of paper together.

The washi tape was so pretty that I didn't want to cover it up much LOL!  I added the sentiment from My Craft Spot's O Holy Night stamp set and popped it up with Foam Tape.  To finish it off, I added a gorgeous Christmas Brad and a bow of Christmas twine attached with mini glue dots.

 Now on to the gift box.  I used more of the Christmas Music paper to create this and I am happy to say that it cut perfectly with my Cameo!  That is a huge thing for me since I use so many SVG files when I am crafting.  The box itself was created from SVG Cut's Maison de Madeline kit.

 These gorgeous poinsettia flowers adorning the top were created with files from SVG Attic's Winter Wishes kit.  Aren't they eye-catching?  I used brown chalk ink around the edges to create a more realistic look.

 On the other side of the lid is a large white satin bow and a tag with a sentiment from My Craft Spot's Christmas Tiny Tags stamp set on it.  I used more Christmas twine to tie the tag on.

 Here is a top view of the lid.  On the top of the knob, I used a bottlecap and placed a circle of the DP in it then used crackle accents on it.  It was the absolute perfect vintage look I was going for!

 This is what it looks like opened.

 And the gift inside!  Yes, all of the supplies for this bracelet are from OTC too!  I used beads from the Christmas bead bracelet kit as well as Christmas cut crystal beads and placed them on coil memory wire.  To finish off the bracelet, I added a Christmas Tag Charm on each end.

 This set will make a wonderful Christmas present for someone very special :)

All of the products that I used from Oriental Trading Company to make this project were wonderful! I would recommend any and all of them to you.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
