Trendy Bakers Twine~Fall Thank You Card

Hello all! I am posting on the Trendy Twine blog today with this fall thank you card. I love how elegant fall colors and leaves can be and that was my vision for this card.

The patterned papers are from The Paper Studio's Joyfall Gathering paper pack. Before adhering the decorative paper strip to the middle of the card, I wrapped Orange Truffle Trendy Twine around it several times, then tied the ends into a bow. For the maple leaf focal point, I used a Cuttlebug die and embossing folder combo, then distressed it with SB.com Leather ink. I wanted to make the leaf pop off the paper without occluding the view of the patterned papers, so I chose a patterned vellum, and die cut it with a GMD double sitched hexagon die. I also used that die set for the other hexagons on the card. The sentiment was stamped with SB.com Orange Cream ink using the APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set. It was popped up with foam tape. Adhering a trio of Autumn Sequins with Bearly Art precision glue was the finshing touch.

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

Trendy Bakers Twine~Thankful Fall Tag

Hello all! I am posting on the Trendy Twine blog today with a fall tag that has a thankful theme to it. Every day is a good day to count our blessings, but especially with Thanksgiving right around the corner! This kind of tag is perfect to let friends, family, neighbors, or coworkers know you are thankful for them.

The base is a Mango Chunky Tag-It stamped all over with the image stamps from the APB Hello Fall planner stamp set. The inks I used are from Scrapbook.com and the colors are Leather, Cardinal Red, Orange Spice, and Succulent. Once the tag was stamped all over, I added a Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Page Dot to the top of the tag. Since the opening at the top of the Chunky Tag-Its is not round, there were little gaps on each side of the Trendy Page Dot, which is exactly what I wanted for the technique I planned for the Trendy Twine. I Cut 3 lengths of Orange Truffle Trendy Twine 12" long and fed each one halfway through the three openings at the top of the tag. I then proceeded to braid the twine, which was double stranded, and tied a knot in the end when I was finished. The sentiment tag was created by stamping an image from the APB Hello Fall planner stamp set in Cardinal Red ink and a sentiment from the APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set in Leather ink. I ink blended the edges of it with Camel ink to lend to the fall theme. A staple secured it to the tag. For a finishing touch, a trio of Autumn Sequins were glued in place with Bearly Art precision glue.

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!
