SheetLoad of School Cards

Hello all! I am sharing a project that I completed a while ago but hadn't gotten around to sharing yet. It is a SheetLoad of school themed cards!

I made 4 cards using the sketch from the April 2024 SheetLoad of Cards. The patterned papers and stamps I used were all from Echo Park Paper. Along the diagonal cut lines of the red paper panel, I added strips of 1/8" tape for extra definition. The stamped panel was layered die cuts from the Pink Fresh Studio essential label dies set. The sticker sheet included in the paper kit was just right for embellishments on these cards!

I used the scraps from the 4 original cards to create this one. It is fun to just let a layout for a card develop as it goes! Adhesives used on these cards include ATG and Bearly Art precision tip glue.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Halloween Treat Bag

Hello all! My latest project for the Trendy Twine blog is a sweet Halloween treat bag. It is a quick way to dress up treats to give to someone special!

I started by placing 2 Reese's candies into the Black Chevron Treat Bag and folded the flap over on it. For the tag, I used a Mango Tag-It, added a Lime Orangesicle Trendy Page Dot and Lime Licorice Trendy Twine to the top. The focal point is a Happy Halloween Cat Print & Punch Tag that I printed off then cut around with my Brother Scan N Cut. Those can also be punched out with a 2" circle punch or die if you have one of those on hand! The chevron circle mat was die cut from Pink and Main's Card Cut Essentials die #2 and was popped up with foam tape on the tag-it. The tag and Bewitching Sequins were adhered with red-lined tape. Now this treat is ready to be given and enjoyed!

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

Lime Licorice Trendy Twine

Black Chevron Treat Bag

Mango Tag-It

Lime Orangesicle Trendy Page Dot

Happy Halloween Cat Print & Punch Tag

Bewitching Sequins

If you don't need a full spool of the Lime Licorice I used, check out this Halloween Sampler with several colors in it! Each twist is 10 yards in length and wrapped on a wooden clothespin for easy storage.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Halloween Card Set

Hello all! Halloween is just around the corner, and I have a set of cards with that theme for the Trendy Twine blog to share with you today.

In an attempt to work smarter, not harder, I used Pink and Main's Card Cut Essentials dies 1&2 plus 2.5 sheets of 6x6" MAMBI Halloween paper to dit cut all the elements that you see on these cards. Once the pieces were all cut, I simply laid out different die cut elements that I thought worked well together and I ended up with 6 cards full of Halloween cuteness and elements from Annie's Paper Boutique!

All of the cards have Lime Licorice Trendy Twine featured on them in one technique or another. Really any of the Halloween Trendy Twines would have worked, but in effort to keep things simple, I just stuck with the one twist.

They also all have different sentiments from the APB Happy Halloween stamp set on them. I love the fun fonts and variety of cute sayings in that set! I used Versafine Onyx Black ink for those.

The stamped Halloween kids are from a retired Victorine Originals stamp set, but you can make anything the focal point of your cards! One great option would be to grab some Halloween Tags from Annie's Paper Boutique. There are so many different styles! Another easy peasy choice to use as your focal point are APB Halloween printables you can print off on your own printer. You can find them HERE and HERE.

To embellish the cards, I used Bewitching Sequins and glued them on with Bearly Art precision glue.

Other items used on these cards include ATG, foam tape, SB.com hybrid black ink, Artify alcohol markers, and a Cottage Cutz stitched circle die. Now I have a head start on my cards to send out for Halloween! What have you been making for the upcoming holidays?

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

Lime Licorice Trendy Twine

APB Happy Halloween stamp set

Bewitching Sequins

Trendy Bakers Twine~Coffee Note Card

Hello all! I am posting for the Trendy Twine blog today with this coffee themed note card and envelope set. Our Trendy Twine twist of the month, Chocolate Truffle, goes perfectly with that theme!

I started with a White Scallop Note Card base and added a bit of patterned paper from Echo Park's Coffee 6x6 paper pad. I then used MFT Coffee Cup die-namics to die cut the to-go coffee cup. I stamped a sentiment in black ink from the APB Need Coffee stamp set.  After wrapping Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine around the center of the cup and tying it in a bow, I used foam tape to pop the cup up on the front of the card. To finish the card off, I used Bearly Art glue to add a trio of Chocolate Truffle Sequins.

I didn't want to stop there, so I grabbed a Kraft Small Envelope and the APB Need Coffee stamp set and decorated the envelope flap. The best part is the scallop note cards fit perfectly into those small kraft envelopes, and they are both the perfect size for gift cards! Now I just need to grab a coffee gift card to place inside and it will be ready to give as a gift. 

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

Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine

White Scallop Note Card

APB Need Coffee stamp set

Chocolate Truffle Sequins

Kraft Small Envelope

Trendy Bakers Twine~Football Card

Hello all! I am back with another Trendy Twine project! School time is upon us, and with it, sports. My youngest son decided he wanted to try football this year, so I made a card for his first game that is coming up. Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine was the perfect accent for the card, of course!

I started off by cutting the football with my Silhouette Cameo. I simply used a football that is built into my Sure Cuts A Lot software. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder to create the texture on the football. The base of the card was created with kraft and brown cardstock as well as patterned paper from The Paper Studio's Boys Will Be Boys paper pad. I wrapped Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine around the background three times, then adhered it to the card base with Bearly Art Glue. The football was popped up with foam tape. I stamped a sentiment in green ink from the Greetings stamp set onto a pennant shaped banner. I inked around the outside of the white cardstock with brown ink to distress it, then glued it to the card front. A bow of Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine by the sentiment added another great touch of texture. The finishing elements were Chocolate Truffle Sequins for some shine. 

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

Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine

Chocolate Truffle Sequins

Greetings stamp set

Trendy Bakers Twine~North Pole Treat Bag

Hello all! Today I am sharing another Christmas in July post for the Trendy Twine blog. This time I went with a rustic Christmas vibe for a treat bag. Holly Berry Trendy Twine is the perfect color combo for that look!

I started with a Kraft Chevron Treat Bag and stamped a sentiment from the APB Merry & Bright stamp set in SB.com Cardinal Red ink. I then added treats to the bag, but you can also fill these bags with cookies, candy, nail polish, a matchbox car, a toy blind bag, small cosmetics, gift card, etc. The possiblities for this kind of gift wrapping are endless! Once I folded the flap over, I wrapped Holly Berry Trendy Twine around it and tied it in a bow. I then added a North Pole Trading Company No. 2 Retro Tag that I had inked with brown around the edges to make it more vintage looking (The North Pole Trading Company Vintage Inspired Tag would have also been a great pick for this project!) I finished it off with a few O Christmas Tree sequins adhered with mini Glue Dots. 

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

Holly Berry Trendy Twine

Kraft Chevron Treat Bag

North Pole Trading Company No. 2 Retro Tag

The background paper and fussy cut ornament were from The Paper Studio's Star of Bethlehem paper pad. The dark blue cardstock was embossed with a Kaisercraft Tiles embossing folder. After adhering the ornament with foam tape, I added Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine as a hanger and double bow for it. The sentiment was stamped using the APB Merry Christmas stamp set,VersaFine Clair Twilight ink, and heat embossed with Wow! Clear Sparkle embossing powder. I wrapped Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine around that strip of paper two time, then popped it up with foam tape. The finishing touch was a trio of Peppermint Icicle Sequins adhered with Bearly Art precision glue.

Trendy Bakers Twine~Friendship Tin Tie Bag

Hello all! Today I am sharing a project for the Trendy Twine blog. It is a tin tie treat bag to give to a friend. It features two of the original twists of Trendy Twine, Tickled With Teal, and Strawberry Cupcake.

I started with a Kraft Tin Tie Bag and glued strips of patterned paper from The Paper Studio's Boho Vibes paper pad onto it. I then added short pieces of Tickled With Teal Trendy Twine, and Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine to the upper left of the bag. I then created the tag by starting with a Light Teal Large Tag-It and adding a pink 3" Paper Doily to the center. I stamped sentiment strips using APB Friendship stamps and Scrapbook.com Leather ink. Once those were glued to the tag, I made a double bow of Tickled With Teal Trendy Twine, and Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine for the top of it. Once the bag was closed, I attached the tag to the bag with a Mini Wooden Clothespin for easy access to the treats!  I decided to add a little shimmer to the tag and bag with Cotton Candy Sequins. They coordinated well and added just a bit more visual interest. 

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

Tickled With Teal Trendy Twine

Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine

Kraft Tin Tie Bag

Light Teal Large Tag-It

3" Paper Doily

APB Friendship stamps (currently on sale!)

Trendy Bakers Twine~Chicken Cards

Hello all! Welcome to a new month for the Trendy Twine blog! This month is a free for all with Trendy Twine colors, so I let my imagination run wild and ended up using both Krazy for Kraft Trendy Twine and Totally Kraft Trendy Twine on these chicken themed cards.

When I saw the fun chicken paper in the 6x6" Carta Bella Sunflower Market paper pad, I knew I wanted to make a card for my mom using it. Chickens have have a big part in her life! I used the Bourbon Creek Crafts No Scraps Sketch Set #1 and 3 patterned papers as the starting point for these cards. Once I had the paper pieces coordinated the way I wanted, I decided to glue a braid of Trendy Twine down the front of the card. Two have Krazy for Kraft Trendy Twine and the third one has Totally Kraft Trendy Twine because I thought it stood out better on the busy chicken paper. 

On one of the cards I decided to use the reverse of the chicken paper so it could be used for anyone. To build the focal point of the card, I adhered a kraft circle die cut from a GMD x-stitched die to a 3" Paper Doily. On the two chicken themed cards, using SB.com Leather ink I stamped a retired Raisin Boat chicken wire stamp. Once that was adhered to the card front with foam tape, I stamped the sentiment strip with a stamp from the APB Smile stamp set in SB.com Dark Chocolate ink and used ATG to place it on the circle.

The final touch was a trio of Chocolate Truffle Sequins that were adhered with Bearly Art precision glue.

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

Krazy for Kraft Trendy Twine

Totally Kraft Trendy Twine

3" Paper Doilies Color Bundle

Smile stamp set

Chocolate Truffle Sequins

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
