Trendy Bakers Twine~You Are 1 Layout

Good morning! I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with a first birthday scrapbook layout for my daughter. It features Tickled Pink Trendy Twine, a beautiful twist of pink and white, perfect for any girly projects!

All the patterned papers are from DCWV's Unicorns & Rainbows stack. It is THE stack of papers to get if you have a unicorn loving person in your life! I matted and adhered the photos first. The green striped matte layers were edged with Scrapbook.com succulent ink. I then made the title using my Silhouette Cameo and SCAL with fonts from my computer. The yellow and purple layers were solid colored cardstock, but the silver layer was adhesive vinyl. I love using that for words! The cardstock layers were adhered with Bearly Art precision glue. Before adding the number one to the layout with foam tape, I glued a 3" paper doily in green to the background paper, then wrapped Tickled Pink Trendy Twine around the 1 and tied it in a knot. I then put the Tickled Pink Trendy Twine up to the balloon, which was inked around with Scrapbook.com Candy Shop Pink ink. After adding a bow of Tickled Pink Trendy Twine on the balloon, I glued Raspberry Cupcake Sequins around the title.

I added a journaling tag to the layout with a Lavender Tag-It, Lemon Midnight Trendy Page Dot, Tickled Pink Trendy Twine, and stamped a sentiment from the Documenting the Everyday #2 stamp set with VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink. The bottom right corner had a unicorn printed on the paper. I simply added a double bow of Tickled Pink Trendy Twine to it's head to fancy it up a bit!

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

Birthday Fishes Card

Hello all! Today I am sharing a fun birthday card I sent to my little nephew. He loves fish! The Paper Smooches Birthday Buddies stamp set was perfect for this card.

The printed card base is from The Paper Studio. I die cut 4 Cottage Cutz stitched circle dies from solid cardstock, glueing the colored ones with Bearly Art precision glue. Once the white circle was stamped and colored with Artify alcohol markers, I popped it up with foam tape to the card front. I used vintage rick rack to add visual interest and texture. The finishing touch was a few Pearl Lane small gems above the fish to look like bubbles!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Mother's Day Love Cards

Good morning! I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with two sweet Mother's Day cards. That holiday will be here before you know it, so I took the time to work ahead so I don't have to scramble when May comes. These cards feature Tickled Pink Trendy Twine, a beautiful twist of pink and white.

The patterned papers are from Doodlebug Design Lots of Love collection. I used a hole punch to take a bit of the card base off where the two patterned papers met to create and indentation for 3 lengths of Tickled Pink Trendy Twine. I tied those into a bow near the bottom of the card. 

For the focal point is a die cut heart stamped with Momenta stamps and Scrapbook.com inks ink Candy Shop Pink and Oasis. It was popped up with foam tape. To add a bit of sparkle, I used Bearly Art precision glue to adhere Raspberry Cupcake Sequins. Now these are ready to gift to make my mom and mother-in-law smile!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Happy Easter!

Hello all, and happy Easter! I have a post on the Trendy Twine blog with a new set of Easter cards! I needed a few more cards to send out, and this was just the right amount.

The part that makes these cards so adorable are the new circle retro Easter tags. I just couldn't wait to use them! This first set has Happy Easter Ducky Retro Tags and blue 3" Paper Doilies. 

To add extra visual interest around the tag, I used Bearly Art precision glue to add a circle and bow of Lemon Tart Trendy Twine. Blue Berry Sequins were the final embellishment for this duo of cards.

The second set of cards feature Easter Egg Chick Retro Tags and green 3" Paper Doilies. They are embellished in a similar way with the Lemon Tart Trendy Twine, but have Grape Fizz sequins.

The patterned papers I used are from the Jillibean Soup Southern Chicken Dumpling Soup 6x6 pad. The sketch was from February 2024 SheetLoad of Cards. 

Wishing you all a very happy and blessed Easter!

2024 Seminarian Easter Cards

Hello all! Today I am sharing a large collection of Easter cards that I recently created. Several were sent off to seminarians from our diocese, and the rest will be given to family members. There are a total of 30!

The first thing I decided on was the patterned paper backgrounds. Most of the papers are from Echo Park's Homegrown collection, but I also used scraps from DCWV's Lilac Love stack to create 6 cards.

I used sections of DCWV's Paper Lace borders stack at the bottom of each background, then added two rows of matching Trendy Twine right above the lace. Those colors include Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine, Grape Fizz Trendy Twine, and Lime Grapesicle Trendy Twine.

The front panel of the card was created with a background die cut from Cottage Cutz stitched rounded rectangle dies, lilies stamped from the Raisin Boat In Loving Memory set with Scrapbook.com Leather ink, and colored with Artify alcohol markers. The cross was a free SVG that was cut with my Silhouette Cameo. The large lily was die cut with my Brother Scan N Cut. The focal point was popped up with foam tape to the background of the card. Other adhesives used include ATG and Bearly Art glue.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Spring Celebrate Cards

Hello all! It is officially SPRING and I am so excited to share my latest creations with that theme on the Trendy Twine blog. They feature the beautiful Cotton Candy Trendy Twine.

I started by choosing springtime patterned paper, which is from Jillibean Soup's Coconut Lime 6x6 paper pad. I utilized the November 2023 SheetLoad of Cards sketch as a way to showcase several visually interesting techniques/supplies.

I really loved the diagonal strips of paper. It was something different than I usually do! The Cotton Candy Trendy Twine was a perfect accent to add between those paper strips. It adds great texture to the card! The vellum circle was die cut with a Cottage Cutz stitched scallop circle die and was adhered to the card front with foam tape. I die cut the GMD spring flower arrangement die out of white to allow the patterned papers and little punched out butterflies to shine!

The sentiment is from the Greetings stamp set and was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink. The banner, tiny butterflies, and flower were all adhered with Bearly Art precision glue. Don't the bright and beautiful colors on these cards make you smile? These will be great for birthday cards or just to brighten someone's day.

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

Cotton Candy Trendy Twine

Greetings stamp set (currently on sale for $8)

You can also find Cotton Candy along with Posy and Sky in the Cotton Candy Sampler. Each color is ten yards in length, perfect for building a variety of Trendy Twine colors!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Butterfly Tag

Hello all! Spring is in the air and today I am sharing a tag for the Trendy Twine blog with that theme. It features Cotton Candy Trendy Twine which is a sweet twist of light pink and light blue.

I started with a Sky Chunky Tag-It, adhered a 3" Paper Doily, then added a Round Butterfly Vintage Inspired Tag popped up with foam tape. Cotton Candy Sequins matched the color scheme perfectly! The sentiment was stamped from the Smile stamp set in black on kraft paper. At the top of the tag, I placed Chevron Ribbon through the opening and tied a double knot of Cotton Candy Trendy Twine around the ribbon. The final touch was gluing a small bow of Cotton Candy Trendy Twine beneath the sentiment.

Graduation Cards

I am trying to work ahead a bit for events I know I will need cards for this year. Graduation cards were definitely on my to do list! When I saw the Echo Park Graduation papers, I knew I needed to grab them. I used both the 12x12 collection and 6x6 paper pad for these cards in conjunction with the OWH sketch #1 (first page of the linked pdf).

In all, I created 8 cards, 2 of each design.

The 3x3 journaling cards in the 6x6" paper pad made these cards a snap!

The only embellishment was Nail Art striping tape (essentially thin metallic washi tape) that created a border between the two background patterned papers.

Adhesives used include ATG, foam tape, and Bearly Art precision glue. On this last card, I also added a few gold star sequins from the Delightful Sequins mix to bring gold to the focal point.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Easter Blessings Layout

Hello all! I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with something a little different than I usually create...a 12x12 scrapbook page! My now 5 year old daughter reminded me that I still don't have her first year album completed, so I took the opportunity to work on that a bit with this month's Trendy Twine twist, Watermelon Taffy.

Patterned papers are from Echo Park's Celebrate Easter paper pad. For captions, I used a Pink Bracket Card, then added Christmas Mint Trendy Page Dots in the curve of the side brackets, used a hole punch to punch the paper out of the center of the dots and wrapped and tied Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine in both areas. Documenting the Everyday stamp set was perfect for stamping sentiments on the page! The inks I used were VersaFine Onyx Black and VersaFine Clair Charming Pink.

The title was created in Sure Cuts a Lot, cut out on my Silhouette Cameo and popped up with foam tape. I wrapped Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine around the corner of the photo and embellished throughout the page with Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems that I glued on with Bearly Art Precision glue. One other embellishment I used was a metallic orange washi tape.

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

Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine

Pink Bracket Card

Christmas Mint Trendy Page Dots

Documenting the Everyday stamp set

Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems

Annie's Paper Boutique also has an awesome little Watermelon Taffy Sampler. Each color is ten yards in length and is wound on a wooden clothespin for easy use and storage. Colors in the set are Limeade, Watermelon Taffy, and Tickled Pink.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
