Trendy Bakers Twine~Sweeter Than Jelly Beans

Hello all! I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with a fairly simple Easter card. I really loved the jelly bean saying on the 3x4 card in the patterned paper pad, so I used that as the inspiration for the card.

The patterned papers are from Echo Park's Celebrate Easter paper pad. I matted the saying with kraft cardstock, then wrapped the yummy Watermelon Taffy Trendy Twine around it like a frame and added a double bow of it in the bottom right corner. That twist of Trendy Twine is one of my absolute FAVORITES for springtime! The focal point was popped up with foam tape. To embellish, I used Bearly Art precision glue to add Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems. I also added glitter Pearl Pen to some of the jelly beans for a little extra sparkle.

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

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!

Confirmation Scrapbook Layout

Hello all! Last week I shared a First Communion layout, and this week I have a Confirmation one to share with you!

The patterned papers I used were from DCWV's Red & White Christmas (red background) and The Paper Studio's Boy paper pad (orange). I inked the edges of the yellow and orange papers with Scrapbook.com inks in Daffodil and Orange Spice. The flame elements were adhered with Bearly Art precision glue. The words were created in Sure Cuts A Lot and were cut out of adhesive vinyl. The dove was also cut with my Silhouette Cameo and was popped up with foam tape. 

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

First Communion Scrapbook Layout

Hello all! Today I am sharing a scrapbook layout that I created for First Communion. It was a labor of love to paper piece the chalice and grapes. 

Here is a list of the patterned papers I used: Craft Smith Heritage paper pad, DCWV Mercury Glass stack, Recollections Modern Bouquet paper pad, and The Paper Studio Glam Glitter paper pad. The chalice area was cut on my Silhouette Cameo using file #74695 First Communion Chalice Flat Card. It was also a file in SVG Attic Communion of Faith set if you have those files! I embossed the chalice with a Darice cross embossing folder. The stamp on the bottom of the page was a wood mounted stamp from Hobby Lobby and was stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. Embellishments include white satin ribbon and Park Lane adhesive gems. Adhesives used include ATG, foam tape, and Bearly Art precision glue. The white and black layers of the First Communion words were created with adhesive vinyl. I love making the headings for layouts with vinyl! It is so much simpler and cuts cleaner than paper.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Happy Birthday 2U Card

Hello all! I am back with another birthday card that is from my past files. The stamps I used on it are from Raisin Boat's XOXO stamp set. 

The inks I used include VersaFine Clair Nocturne, Twilight, and Green Oasis and Scrapbook.com Leather. The patterned paper is from The Paper Studio's Stonewashed paper pad. The squares were die cut with Cottage Cutz stitched square dies, and a trio of white enamel dots was the only embellishment. 

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
