Trendy Bakers Twine~Wedding Card in Greens

Hello all! We are in the first week of spring and I cannot wait to see things start to green up soon! Green is the color of the month, with us featuring Twisted Lime Trendy Twine. For today's project for the Trendy Twine blog, I made a wedding card in greens and grays which was definitely a first for me, but I am happy with how it turned out!

First of all, I needed to make the heart out of Twisted Lime Trendy Twine. I cut 3 lengths of the twine and saturated it with fabric starch, shaped the heart how I wanted it and let it completely dry. The background of the card was created with DCWV Happy Day papers and GMD Triple Layer Background dies, glued together with Bearly Art precision tip glue. The Trendy Twine heart was glued down next, then the stamped panel was popped up with foam tape. To create the stamped panel, I used retired Raisin Boat stamp sets called Springtime Love and True Love with Scrapbook.com inks in Charcoal and Succulent and cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut. The wedding rings were punched out of silver metallic paper using a 1/2" punch and then centered that within a 3/4" punch and they were simply glued on the sentiment panel. To add a bit of sparkle, I glued a trio of Twisted Lime Sequins to the background.

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

You can also find Twisted Lime in the Going Green Sampler. Samplers are a great way to add to your Trendy Twine collection. Each color in the set is ten yards in length and is wound on a wooden clothespin for easy use and storage.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Best of Luck Tag

Hello all! We are in the month of March and that means all things GREEN! The featured Trendy Twine of the month is Twisted Lime and it sure is pretty. For today's Trendy Twine blog post, I created a "Best of Luck" tag that could easily be a St. Patrick's Day tag just by changing the sentiment.

First, I started with a White Large Tag-It and stamped a sentiment from the APB Greetings stamp set in black at the bottom. I then tore the bottom off a Spring Green Large Tag-It and created a die cut shamrock in it by using a small heart die and cutting it 4 times, then using an exacto knife to cut the shamrock stem. After tracing the shamrock onto the white tag, I placed strong double sided adhesive over the area and simply lined pieces of Twisted Lime Trendy Twine side by side to cover the whole shamrock area.

Foam tape was added to the outside perimeter of the back of the spring green tag to adhere the two tags together. To embellish, I added a Kraft Brown Trendy Page Dot at the top of the tag and ran two lengths of Twisted Lime Trendy Twine through the tag hole. A bow of Totally Kraft Trendy Twine secured the green twine pieces. The finishing touch was gluing Twisted Lime Sequins on the tag with Bearly Art precision tip glue.

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

Trendy Bakers Twine~Unicorn Birthday Card

Good morning! Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with a delightfully whimsical unicorn birthday card. I loved making it so much, I made multiples of this card!

All of the patterned papers are from the DCWV Unicorns & Rainbows stack. If you haven't seen those papers yet, you are missing out! The colors perfectly matched the Trendy Twine twist of the month, Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine. Those pinks are such happy colors! I also used DCWV Glitzy Glitter paper for the light blue layer and solid white cardstock for the sentiment. The sentiment stamp and die are Unity Say It Big and the stamp was used with VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink. Once I wrapped the Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine around the cardstock panel, I added the sentiments with foam tape. The final sparkly touch was a trio of Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems adhered with Bearly Art glue.

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

You can also find Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine in the Berry Pink Sampler.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Frozen Valentine Card

Happy Valentine's Day! Today I have a project for the Trendy Twine blog. I love all the sweet Trendy Twine colors that work for today's holiday. This time, I am using Totally Raspberry Trendy Twine.

This is a very simple card that my 4 year old daughter wanted to make for 2 of her cousins...hence the total of 3 princesses on the front of the card! That paper was from an EK Success Frozen paper pad. She wanted to stamp using APB You & Me stamps and VersaFine Clair Charming Pink ink onto a die cut heart. She picked out and arranged the stamps exactly where she wanted them to go!

Here is a peek at her doing the stamping with the help of a stamp positioning tool. We adhered the heart to the patterned paper and added accents of Totally Raspberry Trendy Twine to the card before gluing it to the card base.

The finishing touch was the addition of Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems that my daughter also carefully placed. Remember, involve your kids, grandkids, or volunteer at schools or libraries to instill the love of crafting into young minds!
