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

Small Gable Box

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~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:

Limeade Trendy Twine

Candy Cube

Choose Happy Stamps

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!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Christmas Pillow Box

Hello all! I am back with another Christmas project for the Trendy Twine blog. This time it is a pillow box that is perfect for stocking stuffer gifts or even a gift card!

I started with a Large Kraft Pillow Box and adhered patterned paper from DCWV's Hand-Painted Christmas stack around the center. I added double sided adhesive towards the left of the belly band and wrapped Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine around it five times to really make a visual impact. I then took a Leaf Green Tag-It, added a Kraft Brown Trendy Page Dot, stamped a sentiment from the Merry & Bright stamp set in black ink, then glued O Christmas Tree sequins to it. The tag was popped up with foam tape to the front of the pillow box, then I glued a double bow of Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine to the tag to finish everything off. Now it is ready for gift giving this Christmas!

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

Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine

Large Kraft Pillow Box

Leaf Green Tag-It

Merry & Bright stamp set

Kraft Brown Trendy Page Dot

O Christmas Tree sequins

Trendy Bakers Twine~Cheerful Treat Box

We are in the month of May, and that means a new color for the Trendy Twine blog posts! This month we are spotlighting Bumblebee Trendy Twine. I created a cheerful treat box to make someone smile!

I started my project with a Lemon Mini Popcorn Box and using Bearly Art precision glue, adhered Bumblebee Trendy Twine near the top and bottom edges of the box. I then created a die cut flower using papers from DCWV's Honey Dear stack, inked the edges with SB.com Daffodil ink, and layered it with foam tape to stick to the front of the box. A double bow of Bumblebee Trendy Twine and a sentiment stamped in black from the APB Choose Happy stamp set finished off the front of the box.

On the three other sides of the box, I used the centers of Lemon Midnight Trendy Page Dots to embellish! Don't throw those centers away when you use Trendy Page Dots, use them to dress up your projects! They can take the place of sequins or simply add polka dots to add visual interest.

 If you are looking for more inspiration on what you can create with Bumblebee Trendy Twine, you can see some of my past projects using it HERE.

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

Bumblebee Trendy Twine

Lemon Mini Popcorn Box

APB Choose Happy stamp set

You can also find Bumblebee in the Bumblebee Trendy Twine Sampler if you don't need a whole spool.

Trendy Bakers Twine~Halloween Treat Cube

Hello all and happy October! Today I have a Trendy Twine blog post for you, and I am thrilled to be working on Halloween projects this month. First up, a Halloween treat cube sure to delight any trick-or-treater.

This was quite a simple project, starting with a 2x2" Candy Cube and filling it with candy.  The decorations are all on a belly band that can be removed and replaced easily if all the candy isn't eaten right away.  The belly band was created with paper from DCWV's Spooky Halloween stack. Once that was secured losely around the cube, I wrapped at total of 3 strands of Spooktacular Taffy and Trick or Treat Trendy Twines around the circumference of the box.

To make the eccentric bow on the top, I cut approximately 40 strands each of Spooktacular Taffy Trendy Twine and Trick or Treat Trendy Twine the same length and secured them together by knotting around the center of the bundle. Once that was adhered to the top of the cube, I added Halloween charms, a bat sequin from Enchanting Sequins, and a tag stamped with a stamp from the Happy Halloween stamp set in SB.com Mardi Gras ink, with an Antique Bronze Safety Pin to the bow.  The final touch was to add more Enchanting Sequins to the front of the belly band. 

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

Spooktacular Taffy Trendy Twine

Trick or Treat Trendy Twine

2x2" Candy Cube

Happy Halloween stamp set

Antique Bronze Safety Pin

Enchanting Sequins

Good morning!  Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with a fun treat box.  It features both Trendy Twines of the month, In the Navy and Totally Navy.

I started with a 2x2 Kraft Box and kept it flat so I could easily stamp on it.  The APB You've Got Mail stamps were perfect for this project!  I used Versafine Clair Twilight ink to stamp all the sentiments.

Each visible side has different sentiments on it!  Won't this be so much for for the recipient?!  I glued both In the Navy Trendy Twine andTotally Navy Trendy Twine around the bottom of the box.

On the top, I also glued a frame of In the Navy Trendy Twine using Bearly Art precision tip glue as well as a tiny double bow of  Totally Navy Trendy Twine in the corner.  To finish off the box and fill in some blank spaces, I glued Blue Berry Sequins sporadically on the sides and the box was complete!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Valentine's Milk Carton

Good morning! I'm on the Trendy Twine blog today with a fun treat packaging idea for Valentine's Day.  It is a skinny milk carton box that holds a mini M&M container.  Fun, right?!  It features Pink Midnight Trendy Twine.

I started by creating my own patterned paper with pink cardstock and using the entire APB You & Me stamp set.  I used my stamp platform so once the stamps were arranged, I simply shifted my paper over to reink and stamp again.  Easy peasy!  I love how the stamped images continue from one panel to the next.  I followed a tutorial from The Paper Pixie to assemble the carton.  It fit the 1.08 oz. tubes perfectly!  Before gluing the pink paper onto the carton, I adhered many Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems everywhere.  Pink and sparkles...yes, please!

I wrapped Pink Midnight Trendy Twine around the lower part of the box three times, and added a Petite Kraft Metal Rim Tag that had been stamped with the "To:'' from the APB Merry & Bright stamp set.  To close the top of the carton, I simply added a sweet Mini Wooden Clothespin that I had wrapped with a double bow of Pink Midnight Trendy Twine.  Valentine's Day treat complete!

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

Pink Midnight Trendy Twine

APB You & Me stamp set (Only $3.95 on sale!)

Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems

Mini Wooden Clothespin

Petite Kraft Metal Rim Tag

APB Merry & Bright stamp set (Only $7.50 on sale!)

P.S. Head over to the Annie's Paper Boutique store and check out the stamp sets.  They are ALL on sale, ranging from $0.75 to $13.50.  I know you'll find some that you'll love!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Christmas Treats

Good morning! Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with sweet Christmas treats that are perfect for stocking stuffers, classroom treats or favors at family gatherings.  They feature our twist of the month, Twisted Lime Trendy Twine.

I started with Mini Candy Cubes and filled them with Sugar Cookie Hershey's Kisses.  These boxes may seem on the small side at 1.5"x1.5", but they fit 6 Kisses inside which is plenty for a sweet treat.  I wrapped Twisted Lime Trendy Twine around the box like it was a gift and tied it in a bow on the front.  For the sentiment, I stamped saying from the APB Merry & Bright stamp set in SB.com Cardinal Red ink and added them to the top of the boxes. The addition of Twisted Lime Sequins around the bow and by the sentiment dressed up the box a bit, but still allows you to see the cute candy inside.  I used mini glue dots to adhere everything to the clear boxes.

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

Twisted Lime Trendy Twine

Mini Candy Cubes

Twisted Lime Sequins

APB Merry & Bright stamp set (on sale now!)

Twisted Lime can also be found in the Going Green Sampler along with Limeade, Totally Limeade, and Holly.

The Christmas Sampler includes all of our jolly holiday colors.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
