5 Cards from 5 Sheets of Paper

Hello all! Today I have a quick post sharing 5 cards that I made out of 5 sheets of 6x6" paper from the Echo Park Salutations No. 2 paper pad
I picked out sentiments that I knew I would readily use. Three of them were thank you cards.
The other two were birthday themed. I simply arranged papers on card bases however I thought they looked best with the sentiment panels! 
Adhesives used include Bearly Art precision glue and ATG. The only embellishments I used were Park Lane 3mm gold and silver adhesive gems.
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

SheetLoad of Masculine Sympathy Cards

Hello all! I am trying to get caught up a bit with projects I haven't shared with you, so today it is a SheetLoad of masculine sympathy cards. 
Patterned papers are from DCWV's Farmstead Harvest 6x6" stack. I used scraps of papers, so I didn't officially make the whole SheetLoad (July 2019), just used the sketch. The focal point was created with Cottage Cutz rectangle dies, Unity stamp set No Better Words and Scrapbook.com Camel and Dark Chocolate inks.
Adhesives used include Bearly Art precision glueATG and foam tape. The finishing touch was a trio of Park Lane 3mm gold gems.
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~St. Patty's Candy Cube

Hello all! Today I am on the Trendy Twine blog and with a new month, we have a new Trendy Twine to feature! Limeade Trendy Twine is a twist of bright lime and white, making it perfect for St. Patty's Day projects. Today I am sharing a fun and bright candy cube with that holiday theme.
I started with a clear 2"x2" Candy Cube and filled it with Rainbow flavored Nerds Gummy Clusters. I thought they were the perfect candy for this project! I made a belly band using paper from the Echo Park Happy St. Patrick's Day 6x6 paper pad. I did have to use 2 strips of paper to completely go around the box since it was only 6" wide. Once that was adhered to the box with Scor-tape, I wrapped Limeade Trendy Twine around the box a few times, taking care to not cover up the adorable images on the paper. I also used Bearly Art Precision glue to adhere two Bewitching Sequins for a little sparkle.
On to the top of the box! Annie's Paper Boutique has so many amazing tag-its, but since this box is 2x2 square, I wanted something a little smaller so you could still see the candy in the box, so I made my own. This tag was made with paper from the same paper pad and a banner die from the Pink and Main Card Cut Essentials dies set 2. Since there is a sun on the belly band paper, I used the Hello Sunshine sentiment from the Choose Happy Stamp set. It was stamped with SB.com pure white pigment ink and Wow! bright white embossing powder. I used Limeade Trendy Twine to make a double bow for the top of the tag, then finished it off with one more Bewitching Sequin. Isn't this project sweet?! I can't wait to give it away!


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

If you don't need a whole spool of Limeade, consider the Going Green Sampler! It includes 10 yards each of the following Trendy Twine colors: Limeade, Totally Limeade, Holly, and Twisted Lime.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
