SheetLoad of Vintage Sympathy Cards

Hello all! I am back on the last day of November to share one more SheetLoad of cards that I recently created. These are another set of sympathy cards, but have a very different feel than the last set I posted earlier this month. These were based off the November 2019 SheetLoad of Cards sketch. Now that I have two sets completed, I shouldn't need to make this theme for a while.

The patterned papers are from DCWV's Heirloom stack. They are thin paper, not cardstock, so I did have to be more careful while making these so I wouldn't bend the papers. 

The sentiment is retired from My Craft Spot's With Deepest Sympathy stamp set. I stamped it with Scrapbook.com Dark Chocolate ink.

The cross was a free svg file that I cut with my Silhouette Cameo. To finish off the cards, I added a trio of GMD Emerald Waters matte enamel dots. Adhesives used include Bearly Art precision glue and ATG. 

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

SheetLoad of Confirmation Cards

Hello all! I recently was in need of Confirmation cards. I only needed one at the time, but decided it would be smart to make multiples since I have more coming up in the future. Therefore, I turned to my trusty binder of SheetLoad sketches and decided the October 2019 SheetLoad of Cards sketch would work great for these cards!

These are a fun fold card, which consequently took a little more time to create, but not much. The patterned papers were from 3 different paper pads! DCWV Watercolor Garden, DCWV Honey Dear, and The Paper Studio H2Oh So Colorful. The stamps are from a retired Raisin Boat set called Handle With Prayer and were stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne.

The front panel was die cut with Pink Fresh Fancy Label Frame dies. To add a little pizzazz, I used clear wink of stella on the dove (which you can't see in the photos) and a trio of GMD Rainbow gems. Adhesives used include Bearly Art precision glue and ATG. Below you can see the full fold-out view of the card!

Here is a look at all of the cards the SheetLoad created. Every one is different! Now I don't have to scramble last minute the next time I need a Confirmation card ;)

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Thankful For You

Hello all and Happy Thanksgiving! I am on the Trendy Twine blog today and wanted to share how thankful I am for each and every one of you with this Thanksgiving card. 

I started by making the card base with panels of patterned paper from DCWV's Fall Gathering stack.  Don't you just love all the delicious foods on that bottom paper? It makes me think of a big Thanksgiving meal! Where the two papers meet, I wrapped Creamy Pumpkin Trendy Twine three times and also added a bow. The focal point was a die cut Pink Fresh fancy label with a pumpkin I fussy cut out of the patterned paper glued to it. I stamped all of the fun images from the Hello Fall planner stamp set onto more of the patterned papers and fussy cut those out as well to adhere around the pumpkin. Autumn Sequins added a bit of shine to the card and the final touch was a sentiment from the Happy Thanksgiving stamp set. Wishing you all a blessed and happy Thanksgiving!

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

SheetLoad of "Denim" Sympathy Cards

Hello everyone! I was completely out of sympathy cards, so I knew I had to get busy making more! My favorite go-to when making multiple cards are SheetLoads, and I was inspired by the August 2020 SheetLoad to create these cards.

Patterned papers are from Authentique's Original 6x6" paper pad. I really loved those prints! The stamped sentiment is from my all time favorite sympathy stamp set, a retired My Craft Spot set called With Deepest Sympathy. It was stamped with Scrapbook.com Leather ink. If you have a favorite sympathy sentiment stamp set, please let me know! I would love to check it out!

The flower die is the GMD spring flower arrangements die. I inked a bit of Leather ink in the center and used a small white circle punch for the center. Adhesives used on these cards include Bearly Art precision glue and ATG.

I decided this card could have a little more masculine feel to it based on the paper designs, so instead of the flower, I used Cottage Cutz Feathers dies for the focal point. Now I have a good start on replenishing my sympathy cards!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Happy Birthday Lesley!

It's that time of the year again...Lesley's birthday! She is the owner of Annie's Paper Boutique and Trendy Twine. I always enjoy surprising her with a birthday blog post, so be sure to stop by the Trendy Twine blog to leave her some birthday wishes!

The card I created this year is an accordian fold card. I love getting creative with fun fold cards for her birthday just for that little extra special touch! Patterned papers are all from DCWV's Confetti stack. To decorate the belly band around the card, I used a GMD Doily Die with vellum and a tag. The tag was created with a White Tag-It, Pink Midnight Trendy Page Dot, sentiments from the Smile stamp set, Raspberry Cupcake Trendy Twine, Totally Raspberry Trendy Twine, and a Provo Craft cake die cut.  For some added bling, I added Blue Berry sequins with mini Glue Dots.

Once the belly band is slid off, you can see the accordian fold. Isn't that huge cupcake fun?!

The inside sentiments are also from the Smile stamp set. Adhesives used to assemble the card were ATG and Bearly Art precision glue.

Please stop by the Trendy Twine blog to see the card Shelly created for Lesley and to leave Lesley some birthday love as well!

SheetLoad of Baptism Cards (UFO Post #9)

Hello all! Today I am sharing a SheetLoad of Baptism cards. I used the July 2023 SheetLoad sketch as inspiration. I am also considering these cards part of my UFO (unfinished objects/projects) count. They sat on my craft desk for a while before I actually was able to complete them. If you are interested in seeing my other UFO's, click HERE.

I didn't follow the sketch exactly because I wanted to use a Scalloped Stitched Rectangle die for the background. The white on white patterned papers are from The Paper Studio's Blanc Boutique paper pad. The patterned gold paper is from DCWV's Mercury Glass stack.

The stamps are from a retired Raisin Boat stamp set called Child of God. Inks used were Scrapbook.com's Camel and Leather. I embellished with a trio of gold enamel dots. Adhesives used were Bearly Art precision glue for the layers and Scotch foam tape behind the stamped panel. I think these turned out very elegant!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Tag Tuesday~Happy Fall Treat

Hello all, and welcome to another Tag Tuesday! I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with this tag adorned fall treat. The focal point is the adorable (and also on a crazy good sale!) Happy Fall Pumpkins Print & Punch Tag. It is a ready to print digital file that you can use over and over again for as many tags you want to create!

Once the Happy Fall Pumpkins Print & Punch Tag was printed and cut out, I mounted it with Bearly Art precision glue onto a Cottage Cutz scallop circle die cut and adhered it to the front of a Leaf Green Treat Packet with Scotch foam tape.

To the top flap of the Leaf Green Treat Packet, I wrapped and knotted one length of Champagne Chevron ribbon from the Chevron Ribbon Sampler and two lengths of Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine. To add a couple Blue Moon Beads charms, to the knot, I used a Antique Bronze Bulb Safety Pin. The top flap is secured shut simply by slipping it behind the orange circle die cut. The inside bag was filled with candy corn and pumpkins for a fun fall treat!

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

Trendy Bakers Twine~Treats To Gobble!

Hello all! Fall is in the air, and with it, a feeling of thankfulness! I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with this adorable Thanksgiving treat that would be perfect for favors at a meal, for coworkers, or just a special treat for friends or neighbors.  It features Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine.

I first filled a Medium Clear Pillow Box with s'mores flavored M&M's...yum! The belly band was created with 6" length of patterned paper from DCWV's Sweater Weather stack. I decorated a Lemon Tag-It with a Hello Fall Trendy Page Dot, a stamped sentiment from the Happy Thanksgiving stamp set, Autumn Sequins, and a turkey I fussy cut from DCWV's Fall Gathering stack.  I then braided 3 strands of Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine, wrapped it around the belly band, feeding it through the tag, and tying it in a bow. A "thankful" charm added just a little more visual interest to the bow. Adhesives used include double sided tape, foam tape, and mini Glue Dots.

SheetLoad of Halloween Cards

Hello all! I know Halloween was Tuesday, but I am not on top of all my photo editing and blogging as I would love to be, so y'all are seeing these cards today LOL!  It started out as me thinking I was going to make 9 cards with the September 2022 SheetLoad of Cards sketch...only I cut enough patterned paper for 17.  So, 17 mini slimline Halloween cards it was!

I used various 6x6 Halloween papers that I had in my stash. The stamp sets I used are retired Raisin Boat sets called Boo Hoo and Canines in Costume and were stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. 

The top part of the card was die cut with Pink Fresh Label Frame dies and I inked around the edges for some color (because no way was I coloring all of those images!) with Distress Oxide inks in Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade, and one had Peacock Feathers used on it as well.  A trio of Park Lane adhesive gems were the only embellishment I used. Adhesives include ATG and Bearly Art precision tip glue.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
