Kendra's Card Challenge #2

Hello all! Today I am sharing the cards I created for Kendra's Card Challenge #2.  It took me the whole 3 months of the challenge to actually make these cards because, well, life! The deadline to enter is June 30th, so I made it just in the nick of time.

All of these cards were made with the BoBunny Celebrating Freedom paper pad. That happens to be a 6x8 pad, but I was okay with having some scraps left over. The papers were so pretty, I wanted to use them! I did use more than 6 pieces of the patterned paper to make these cards.

Here are close ups of card sketches 1-4.

Here are cards 5-8.

Sketches 9-11...

I made 2 each of 12 and 13 because since I wasn't using double sided paper, I had to use more than 6 sheets of paper for completing the sketches. 

And finally, sketch #14. Some of the products used on these cards include GMD Regal Doily die, Raisin Boat Talking in Circles stamps, APB Friendship and Greetings stamp sets, Pink and Main Birthday Wishes stamp, and Paper Inspirations Favorite Calligraphies stamp.  Inks used include Scrapbook.com Midnight Blue and Cardinal Red and VersaFine Onyx Black. Adhesives used include Bearly Art glue and ATG.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine ~ Congrats Baby Cards

Hello all!  I am posting on the Trendy Twine blog today with two cards that use the recently released Sky sequins.  The first one is for welcoming a baby boy and the second a baby girl.

The focal point for the baby boy card is a Round Pale Blue Country Bear Vintage Inspired Tag.  That was glued to a GMD Regal Doily die cut out of cork paper.  The papers used on this card are from Authentique's Cuddle Boy paper pad and DCWV's Cork stack.  The Cottage Cutz button die cut was laced with Sky Trendy Twine.

I wound Sky Trendy Twine around the border where the two patterned papers met three times and added a Sizzix congrats die cut and Sky sequins to the bottom.

The baby girl card was made in the same style, just swapping the colors to be more girly!  I used a Round Pink Country Bear Vintage Inspired Tag, Cotton Candy Trendy Twine, and Sky sequins on it paired with DCWV Wild and Free papers.  I also used Scrapbook.com Sugar Cookie ink to edge the patterned papers to make them look more vintage to match the feel of the Country Bear tag.

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

Trendy Bakers Twine ~ Sailboat Note Card

Good morning! Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with another project that features Sky Trendy Twine and the products from our latest release,  Friendship stamp set and Sky sequins.

I started with a Sky scallop note card and stamped a retired sailboat stamp on it in Scrapbook.com Sugar Cookie ink.  I then stamped the sentiment from the Friendship stamp set using VersaMark and heat embossed it with white powder. I made a sailor's knot with Sky Trendy Twine and Totally Kraft Trendy Twine and glued it to the front and trimmed it along the edges when the glue was dry.  The finishing touch was a trio of Sky sequins in the bottom left corner.

I also made a matching kraft small envelope by stamping the same sailboat stamp using the same ink I used on the card. These kraft small envelope are specifically sized to fit the scalloped note cards making it so easy to present them!

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

Annie's Paper Boutique-Friendship Stamp Release

Hello all!  Today is a big day as we release the BRAND NEW Friendship stamp set from Annie's Paper Boutique and a new mix of sequins called Sky. The Sky sequins match the Sky Trendy Twine perfectly with a blend of light blue and cream. Be sure to stop by the Trendy Twine blog to see more creations with these new products!

Let's talk a little more about the new Friendship stamp set.  When is the last time you sent out a card to your friends just to tell them how much they are appreciated?  These stamps are exactly what you need to put a smile on their face!  I simply love all the meaningful sentiments included and I chose 3 to put on the front of the card I made.  The sentiment behind the shaker was stamped in SB.com Charcoal ink and the other two sentiments were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

What better way to showcase sequins than a shaker?!  I used brand new Sky sequins, foam tape and plastic from a page protector to make the shaker element on this card.  Yes, those sequins match Sky Trendy Twine perfectly!  The patterned papers were from DCWV's Wild & Free stack.  I used a GMD Loopy Rectangle die for the blue layer and two flower dies to cut out the area of the shaker.  Bearly Art precision glue worked perfectly to adhere the Sky Trendy Twine around the patterned paper and the bow as well.  For a finishing touch, I glued a small blue sequin from the Sky sequins on both of the sentiment strips.  Oh, and all of the cream you see on the papers is actually just SB.com Sugar Cookie ink blended onto the white or patterned paper.  It matched very will with the natural twist in the Sky Trendy Twine!  Now my card is ready to send off to someone special.

Trendy Bakers Twine~Happy Father's Day Tag

Hello all!  I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with this tag.  This month we are featuring Sky Trendy Twine.  I just love the natural twist in this twine!  I really enjoyed using it for this Father's Day project.

I started with a Sky Large Tag-It and added patterned paper from DCWV's Coastal stack on the bottom.  I love how well it matched!  I then wrapped Sky Trendy Twine above the patterned paper to create a border.  To the top of the tag, I used a Kraft Brown Trendy Page Dot, Sky Trendy Twine and tied a bit of  Totally Sky Trendy Twine on the tassel.  The die/stamp combo are from Gina Marie Designs, and I used Scrapbook.com Charcoal ink for the stamps.  The Happy die cuts are popped up for visual interest and that was it!  I like the simple linear look to this tag.  I think it is perfect for the occasion!

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