Trendy Bakers Twine~Masculine With Thanks Card

Hello all, I am back with another post for the Trendy Twine blog! This month we are spotlighting Bumblebee Trendy Twine, a bright, cheerful twist of black and yellow. It is such a versatile color! Today, I am sharing a masculine card with it.

The patterned papers are from DCWV's Honey Dear stack. I thought they were great for a guy card and the colors were a perfect match with Bumblebee Trendy Twine! The background paper was cut to 4"x5.25" and the yellow plaid strip was cut to 2''x4.75". I then matted the narrow strip with black cardstock cut to 2.25"x5" and cut one end at 1.25" to create both sides of the strip. The cut ends border the outer edges of the card. I used my Crop-A-Dile and 1/18" eyelets and 20" of Bumblebee Trendy Twine to create the lacing area. I did not adhere the yellow strip until after it was loosely laced, then once both sides were glued in place, I tightened the laces and tied a bow.

The focal point was created with a Kraft Bracket Card matted with a black die cut from CC stitched rounded rectangle dies. The toolbench stamp is retired from a SumMore Fun set called Handy Man and was stamped with SB.com Rainy Day ink. The sentiment was from the APB Greetings stamp set (on SALE for only $9!) and was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink. The Kraft Bracket Card was popped up with foam tape for a little extra dimension.

Trendy Bakers Twine~Cheerful Treat Box

We are in the month of May, and that means a new color for the Trendy Twine blog posts! This month we are spotlighting Bumblebee Trendy Twine. I created a cheerful treat box to make someone smile!

I started my project with a Lemon Mini Popcorn Box and using Bearly Art precision glue, adhered Bumblebee Trendy Twine near the top and bottom edges of the box. I then created a die cut flower using papers from DCWV's Honey Dear stack, inked the edges with SB.com Daffodil ink, and layered it with foam tape to stick to the front of the box. A double bow of Bumblebee Trendy Twine and a sentiment stamped in black from the APB Choose Happy stamp set finished off the front of the box.

On the three other sides of the box, I used the centers of Lemon Midnight Trendy Page Dots to embellish! Don't throw those centers away when you use Trendy Page Dots, use them to dress up your projects! They can take the place of sequins or simply add polka dots to add visual interest.
