Trendy Bakers Twine~Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello all and Happy Thanksgiving! I wanted to share a card today to let you all know how thankful I am for each and every one of you who read this blog and the Trendy Twine blog. It features the versatile Totally Kraft Trendy Twine from Annie's Paper Boutique.

I started with patterned papers from DCWV's Farmstead Harvest 6x6 paper stack. Totally Kraft Trendy Twine was wrapped around the gold panel in two areas and I also glued a bow of Totally Kraft Trendy Twine in the lower right corner. The stamped panel was created with a sentiment from the APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set and VersaFine Clair Nocturne and leaves from the Raisin Boat Arboretum Leaves stamp set and the following Scrapbook.com inks: Camel, Succulent, Daffodil. Orange Spice, and Cinnamon. That panel was then adhered to the front with foam tape. The other adhesives used on this card were ATG and Bearly Art precision glue.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Trendy Bakers Twine~Guest Designer Thanksgiving Card

Hello all! Happy Thanksgiving! I have a special guest who helped create today's project...my 4 year old daughter!  She absolutely LOVES all of the Annie's Paper Boutique image stamps and wanted to make a card for her Grandma using the Hello Fall Planner Stamps.  Of course I obliged!

The stamps from Hello Fall set were stamped with VersaFine Clair inks in Charming Pink, Warm Breeze, Twilight, and Green Oasis.  The stamped panel was then wrapped with Twisted Teal and Raspberry Cupcake Trendy Twines.  She wanted curly twine as well, so I saturated some with spray starch, wrapped them around a pen, and let them air dry.  Once dry, I tied them around the straight pieces of Trendy Twine.

The patterned paper is from LilyBee Designs Victoria Park 6x6 paper pad.  Navy blue cardstock worked well to mat layers with.  The finishing touch was bling, of course!  Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems are easily adhered with Bearly Art Precision Tip glue.  That completed our simple card!

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

Trendy Bakers Twine~Blessed & Thankful Treat

Hello all!  I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with this fall popcorn box treat.  'Tis the season to give thanks and that is the theme of today's project!  It features a Mango Mini Popcorn Box and the lovely fall Orange Truffle Trendy Twine.

I started by keeping the Mango Mini Popcorn Box flat and stamping all over it with the adorable images from the APB Hello Fall stamp set (on SALE now!) using Scrapbook.com Leather ink.  I even stamped some of the images so they would show on 2 sides of the box once the box was assembled to add a bit more visual interest.  I then stamped the same images onto two different patterned papers from the DCWV Fall Gathering stack and used random circle punches to make colorful circles to glue to the box once it was assembled.

I wrapped Orange Truffle Trendy Twine around the box three times and added the two sentiment banners to it before tying it in a bow.  The sentiments were also stamped from the APB Hello Fall stamp set, but they were stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink onto the patterned papers.

Here you can see the full view all the way around the box and how fun it is!  For a finishing touch, I used Bearly Art precision tip glue to adhere Autumn Sequins onto the box for a little sparkle.

Trendy Bakers Twine~Sunflower Box Card

Good morning!  Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog with a delightful fall box card.  Sunflowers are such a beautiful sign of fall and they always make me smile.  This one features our Trendy Twine of the month, Totally Chocolate.

I started with the Sunflower Envelope Box Card file from My Scrap Chick and cut it all out with my Silhouette Cameo.  For the center of the sunflower, I really wanted a lot of visual interest, so I wrapped the whole thing in a spiral of Totally Chocolate Trendy Twine.  To do that, I started with red lined tape in the center, then towards the outside I glued it down with Bearly Art precision tip glue.  I also glued Chocolate Truffle sequins to the center of the flower and the card front.  The sentiment was from the APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set and was stamped in SB.com Leather Ink.  That same color of ink was used on the edges of most of the die cuts before assembly to make the card look a bit more rustic.

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

Thanksgiving Cards for Nursing Home Residents (part 2)

Hello all!  Today I am sharing the second part of the Thanksgiving cards I created to give to the residents at my local nursing home.  They all have them displayed in their rooms and it makes me happy to know I was able to put a smile on their faces!  You can find part 1 here of the cards I made for them.

These cards were all created with open stock paper from Hobby Lobby.  Those gorgeous pumpkins?! Oh my goodness!  I held myself back from being crazy hoarding these papers and only bought 2 of each print you see in these cards.  I used all of it up except for the papers that had an antique truck with pumpkins in the back.  I will save that back for another year!

I love how these all came together!  A few die cuts here and some embellishments there and elegant, heartfelt cards are complete.

This one could very possibly be my favorite!  That black gingham ribbon with the black gingham pumpkins...a match made in heaven!

I did have a few more cards than I needed for the residents, so my family was able to enjoy come of these cards as well!

Please remember the residents of local care centers in the upcoming holidays!  It is especially hard with them not being able to see or go out to family functions.  They would love a card with a handwritten message!

 I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
