SheetLoad of Baptism Cards (UFO Post #9)

Hello all! Today I am sharing a SheetLoad of Baptism cards. I used the July 2023 SheetLoad sketch as inspiration. I am also considering these cards part of my UFO (unfinished objects/projects) count. They sat on my craft desk for a while before I actually was able to complete them. If you are interested in seeing my other UFO's, click HERE.
I didn't follow the sketch exactly because I wanted to use a Scalloped Stitched Rectangle die for the background. The white on white patterned papers are from The Paper Studio's Blanc Boutique paper pad. The patterned gold paper is from DCWV's Mercury Glass stack.
The stamps are from a retired Raisin Boat stamp set called Child of God. Inks used were Scrapbook.com's Camel and Leather. I embellished with a trio of gold enamel dots. Adhesives used were Bearly Art precision glue for the layers and Scotch foam tape behind the stamped panel. I think these turned out very elegant!
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

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!

Here's what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:
Happy Fall Pumpkins Print & Punch Tag (only $1.25 during November!)

The featured Trendy Twines of the month are part of the Orange Sampler, and it is on sale for November!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

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. 

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

SheetLoad of Halloween Cards

Hello all! I know Halloween was Tuesday, but I am not on top of all my photo editing and blogging as I would love to be, so y'all are seeing these cards today LOL!  It started out as me thinking I was going to make 9 cards with the September 2022 SheetLoad of Cards sketch...only I cut enough patterned paper for 17.  So, 17 mini slimline Halloween cards it was!

I used various 6x6 Halloween papers that I had in my stash. The stamp sets I used are retired Raisin Boat sets called Boo Hoo and Canines in Costume and were stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. 

The top part of the card was die cut with Pink Fresh Label Frame dies and I inked around the edges for some color (because no way was I coloring all of those images!) with Distress Oxide inks in Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade, and one had Peacock Feathers used on it as well.  A trio of Park Lane adhesive gems were the only embellishment I used. Adhesives include ATG and Bearly Art precision tip glue.
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
