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~Christmas Pillow Box

Hello all! I am back with another Christmas project for the Trendy Twine blog. This time it is a pillow box that is perfect for stocking stuffer gifts or even a gift card!

I started with a Large Kraft Pillow Box and adhered patterned paper from DCWV's Hand-Painted Christmas stack around the center. I added double sided adhesive towards the left of the belly band and wrapped Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine around it five times to really make a visual impact. I then took a Leaf Green Tag-It, added a Kraft Brown Trendy Page Dot, stamped a sentiment from the Merry & Bright stamp set in black ink, then glued O Christmas Tree sequins to it. The tag was popped up with foam tape to the front of the pillow box, then I glued a double bow of Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine to the tag to finish everything off. Now it is ready for gift giving this Christmas!

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

If you don't need a whole spool of Cherry Limeade, consider the Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine Sampler! It includes 10 yards of each of the three Trendy Twines you see below.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Happy Birthday Lesley!

Hello all! Today is a special day...Lesley's birthday! Lesley is the owner of Annie's Paper Boutique. Of course, I couldn't let this day go by without a special birthday post for the Trendy Twine blog. Here is the card I sent off to Lesley. 

The patterned paper is from the Doodlebug Design Lots of Love collection. Isn't it so cheery?! I used GMD scalloped stitched rectangle dies and a flower die to cut the different elements out. The flower layers were inked with SB.com Cardinal ink. The center strip was embellished with Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine. The different layers were adhered with ATG and Bearly Art precision tip glue. The sentiment is from the You've Got Mail stamp set, stamped with VersaFine Onyx black ink. The finishing touch was a trio of Raspberry Cupcake sequins.

Join me in wishing Lesley a happy birthday in the comments on the Trendy Twine blog!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Happy Christmas Card

Hello all! This month, I am gearing up for Christmas with my posts for the Trendy Twine blog. It is such a fun time of the year to get creative! Today, I am sharing a Christmas card that features Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine.

The patterned papers from DCWV's Hand-Painted Christmas stack have a great retro vibe and matched the colors in Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine perfectly, so those are what I used for the background as well as the fussy cut tree on front. I lined the green paper strip with Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine, adhering it with Bearly Art precision tip glue. the focal point was created with a Kraft Bracket Card with a Cranberry Bracket Card adhered behind it like a shadow. I distressed the outer edge of the Kraft Bracket Card with SB.com Camel ink. Once I glued the tree on the front, I added whimiscal bits of Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine to imitate garland. Bearly Art glue was perfect for that as well. The focal panel was adhered to the card with foam tape. For the sentiment, I used a stamp from the Merry & Bright stamp set in Leather ink, colored the outer edge with extra fine tip Sharpie markers, then also adhered it with foam tape and glue. For a bit of sparkle, I glued a trio of Delightful sequins to the front as well.
