Hello all! I am posting on the Trendy Twine blog today with a fall tag that has a thankful theme to it. Every day is a good day to count our blessings, but especially with Thanksgiving right around the corner! This kind of tag is perfect to let friends, family, neighbors, or coworkers know you are thankful for them.
The base is a Mango Chunky Tag-It stamped all over with the image stamps from the APB Hello Fall planner stamp set. The inks I used are from Scrapbook.com and the colors are Leather, Cardinal Red, Orange Spice, and Succulent. Once the tag was stamped all over, I added a Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Page Dot to the top of the tag. Since the opening at the top of the Chunky Tag-Its is not round, there were little gaps on each side of the Trendy Page Dot, which is exactly what I wanted for the technique I planned for the Trendy Twine. I Cut 3 lengths of Orange Truffle Trendy Twine 12" long and fed each one halfway through the three openings at the top of the tag. I then proceeded to braid the twine, which was double stranded, and tied a knot in the end when I was finished. The sentiment tag was created by stamping an image from the APB Hello Fall planner stamp set in Cardinal Red ink and a sentiment from the APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set in Leather ink. I ink blended the edges of it with Camel ink to lend to the fall theme. A staple secured it to the tag. For a finishing touch, a trio of Autumn Sequins were glued in place with Bearly Art precision glue.
Here's what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:
