Trendy Bakers Twine~You are Spook-tacular Cards

Good morning and Happy Halloween!  Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with this trio of Halloween cards.  I was still in need of a few more Halloween cards to send out, and when I came across the "stack, slice, and shuffle" method of cards, I knew that's what I wanted to make.  Simple yet quirky and it hilights lots of fun patterned papers.
The concept behind this style of cards is to cut 3 coordinating patterned papers the size you want them for your card front.  Then stack them up and slice them all at once with your paper trimmer, making sure to keep them aligned.  Once you make 2 random cuts, you shuffle the pieces so 1 of each patterned piece is set aside for each card.  Very quick and no two are identical!
The materials I used for these cards are older DCWV Halloween papers, black cardstock, Spooktacular Taffy Trendy Twine, haunted house brads, a stamped sentiment from APB Happy Halloween stamp set, and Enchanting sequins.
I absolutely love how the Spooktacular Taffy Trendy Twine coordinated perfectly with the papers I used.  Isn't this style of card fun?!  This was the first time I tried it, but it definitely won't be the last!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Collection of Halloween Cards

Good morning!  Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with this collection of Halloween cards.  Every year I send out Halloween cards to my family, so I go through a lot.  These were pretty simple, making them easy to mass produce!
I started with pre-made 5x7" black card bases and an old DCWV Fall & Halloween stack that had the decorative end cut on the patterned papers already.  I wrapped several colors of Trendy Twine around the patterned paper bases, including: Grape Licorice Trendy TwineOrange Licorice Trendy Twine, Lime Licorice Trendy Twine, and Twisted Teal Trendy Twine.  The focal point cut aparts were from a different DCWV Halloween stack, but they worked well together.  I popped those up with foam tape.
The only card that didn't already have a sentiment on it was the owl card.  I added a stamped sentiment to it using APB Happy Halloween stamp set and black ink.
Here is a close up of my favorite one.  I love all that is going on on that background!  I kept them simple, not adding other embellishments besides the Trendy Twines, but you could easily add APB Halloween sequins to dress them up even more.
