Trendy Bakers Twine~Halloween Treat Bag

Hello all! My latest project for the Trendy Twine blog is a sweet Halloween treat bag. It is a quick way to dress up treats to give to someone special!

I started by placing 2 Reese's candies into the Black Chevron Treat Bag and folded the flap over on it. For the tag, I used a Mango Tag-It, added a Lime Orangesicle Trendy Page Dot and Lime Licorice Trendy Twine to the top. The focal point is a Happy Halloween Cat Print & Punch Tag that I printed off then cut around with my Brother Scan N Cut. Those can also be punched out with a 2" circle punch or die if you have one of those on hand! The chevron circle mat was die cut from Pink and Main's Card Cut Essentials die #2 and was popped up with foam tape on the tag-it. The tag and Bewitching Sequins were adhered with red-lined tape. Now this treat is ready to be given and enjoyed!

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

Lime Licorice Trendy Twine

If you don't need a full spool of the Lime Licorice I used, check out this Halloween Sampler with several colors in it! Each twist is 10 yards in length and wrapped on a wooden clothespin for easy storage.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Halloween Card Set

Hello all! Halloween is just around the corner, and I have a set of cards with that theme for the Trendy Twine blog to share with you today.

In an attempt to work smarter, not harder, I used Pink and Main's Card Cut Essentials dies 1&2 plus 2.5 sheets of 6x6" MAMBI Halloween paper to dit cut all the elements that you see on these cards. Once the pieces were all cut, I simply laid out different die cut elements that I thought worked well together and I ended up with 6 cards full of Halloween cuteness and elements from Annie's Paper Boutique!

All of the cards have Lime Licorice Trendy Twine featured on them in one technique or another. Really any of the Halloween Trendy Twines would have worked, but in effort to keep things simple, I just stuck with the one twist.

They also all have different sentiments from the APB Happy Halloween stamp set on them. I love the fun fonts and variety of cute sayings in that set! I used Versafine Onyx Black ink for those.

The stamped Halloween kids are from a retired Victorine Originals stamp set, but you can make anything the focal point of your cards! One great option would be to grab some Halloween Tags from Annie's Paper Boutique. There are so many different styles! Another easy peasy choice to use as your focal point are APB Halloween printables you can print off on your own printer. You can find them HERE and HERE.

To embellish the cards, I used Bewitching Sequins and glued them on with Bearly Art precision glue.

Other items used on these cards include ATG, foam tape, SB.com hybrid black ink, Artify alcohol markers, and a Cottage Cutz stitched circle die. Now I have a head start on my cards to send out for Halloween! What have you been making for the upcoming holidays?

Trendy Bakers Twine~Coffee Note Card

Hello all! I am posting for the Trendy Twine blog today with this coffee themed note card and envelope set. Our Trendy Twine twist of the month, Chocolate Truffle, goes perfectly with that theme!

I started with a White Scallop Note Card base and added a bit of patterned paper from Echo Park's Coffee 6x6 paper pad. I then used MFT Coffee Cup die-namics to die cut the to-go coffee cup. I stamped a sentiment in black ink from the APB Need Coffee stamp set.  After wrapping Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine around the center of the cup and tying it in a bow, I used foam tape to pop the cup up on the front of the card. To finish the card off, I used Bearly Art glue to add a trio of Chocolate Truffle Sequins.

I didn't want to stop there, so I grabbed a Kraft Small Envelope and the APB Need Coffee stamp set and decorated the envelope flap. The best part is the scallop note cards fit perfectly into those small kraft envelopes, and they are both the perfect size for gift cards! Now I just need to grab a coffee gift card to place inside and it will be ready to give as a gift. 

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

Trendy Bakers Twine~Football Card

Hello all! I am back with another Trendy Twine project! School time is upon us, and with it, sports. My youngest son decided he wanted to try football this year, so I made a card for his first game that is coming up. Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine was the perfect accent for the card, of course!

I started off by cutting the football with my Silhouette Cameo. I simply used a football that is built into my Sure Cuts A Lot software. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder to create the texture on the football. The base of the card was created with kraft and brown cardstock as well as patterned paper from The Paper Studio's Boys Will Be Boys paper pad. I wrapped Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine around the background three times, then adhered it to the card base with Bearly Art Glue. The football was popped up with foam tape. I stamped a sentiment in green ink from the Greetings stamp set onto a pennant shaped banner. I inked around the outside of the white cardstock with brown ink to distress it, then glued it to the card front. A bow of Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine by the sentiment added another great touch of texture. The finishing elements were Chocolate Truffle Sequins for some shine. 

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