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!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Fall Thank You Card

Hello all! I am posting on the Trendy Twine blog today with this fall thank you card. I love how elegant fall colors and leaves can be and that was my vision for this card.

The patterned papers are from The Paper Studio's Joyfall Gathering paper pack. Before adhering the decorative paper strip to the middle of the card, I wrapped Orange Truffle Trendy Twine around it several times, then tied the ends into a bow. For the maple leaf focal point, I used a Cuttlebug die and embossing folder combo, then distressed it with SB.com Leather ink. I wanted to make the leaf pop off the paper without occluding the view of the patterned papers, so I chose a patterned vellum, and die cut it with a GMD double sitched hexagon die. I also used that die set for the other hexagons on the card. The sentiment was stamped with SB.com Orange Cream ink using the APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set. It was popped up with foam tape. Adhering a trio of Autumn Sequins with Bearly Art precision glue was the finshing touch.

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

Trendy Bakers Twine~Thankful Fall Tag

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.
