Happy Birthday Lesley!

Hello all! Today is a special day...Lesley's birthday! Lesley is the owner of Annie's Paper Boutique. Of course, I couldn't let this day go by without a special birthday post for the Trendy Twine blog. Here is the card I sent off to Lesley. 

The patterned paper is from the Doodlebug Design Lots of Love collection. Isn't it so cheery?! I used GMD scalloped stitched rectangle dies and a flower die to cut the different elements out. The flower layers were inked with SB.com Cardinal ink. The center strip was embellished with Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine. The different layers were adhered with ATG and Bearly Art precision tip glue. The sentiment is from the You've Got Mail stamp set, stamped with VersaFine Onyx black ink. The finishing touch was a trio of Raspberry Cupcake sequins.

Join me in wishing Lesley a happy birthday in the comments on the Trendy Twine blog!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Happy Christmas Card

Hello all! This month, I am gearing up for Christmas with my posts for the Trendy Twine blog. It is such a fun time of the year to get creative! Today, I am sharing a Christmas card that features Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine.

The patterned papers from DCWV's Hand-Painted Christmas stack have a great retro vibe and matched the colors in Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine perfectly, so those are what I used for the background as well as the fussy cut tree on front. I lined the green paper strip with Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine, adhering it with Bearly Art precision tip glue. the focal point was created with a Kraft Bracket Card with a Cranberry Bracket Card adhered behind it like a shadow. I distressed the outer edge of the Kraft Bracket Card with SB.com Camel ink. Once I glued the tree on the front, I added whimiscal bits of Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine to imitate garland. Bearly Art glue was perfect for that as well. The focal panel was adhered to the card with foam tape. For the sentiment, I used a stamp from the Merry & Bright stamp set in Leather ink, colored the outer edge with extra fine tip Sharpie markers, then also adhered it with foam tape and glue. For a bit of sparkle, I glued a trio of Delightful sequins to the front as well.

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

Lavender Birthday Cards

Hello all! I'm back with a duo of lavender birthday cards that were created with the Card Maker Success Summit Exclusive #2 SheetLoad of Cards sketch. 

The patterned paper is from The Paper Studio's Katherine 6x6 paper pad. That was an impulse buy one day as I recently was simply walking the aisles of Hobby Lobby after a not so fun medical test. I decided to reward myself by just relaxing through that craft store. Have you ever done that?

The GMD double stitched in and out hexagon die was cut in half and stamped on with a Raisin Boat Flourishing Thoughts stamp and VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink. Adhesives used include ATG and Bearly Art precision tip glue. Embellishments were GMD purple trio enamel dots and Pink & Main galaxy sticky gems.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

SheetLoad of Fall Birthday Cards

Hello all! I purchased the Joyfall Gathering paper pad from The Paper Studio a couple months ago because I loved all the beautiful fall prints in it. I decided I needed to put those papers to great use by making a SheetLoad of cards. The template I used was from September 2020.

These were fairly quick to put together! On the stamped panel I used Raisin Boat Damask Elegance set with SB.com Orange Cream ink for the image as well as Raisin Boat Flourishing Thoughts with VersaFine Onyx Black ink for the sentiment. 

Adhesives used include ATG and Bearly Art precision tip glue.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
