Trendy Bakers Twine~Cheerful Treat Box

We are in the month of May, and that means a new color for the Trendy Twine blog posts! This month we are spotlighting Bumblebee Trendy Twine. I created a cheerful treat box to make someone smile!

I started my project with a Lemon Mini Popcorn Box and using Bearly Art precision glue, adhered Bumblebee Trendy Twine near the top and bottom edges of the box. I then created a die cut flower using papers from DCWV's Honey Dear stack, inked the edges with SB.com Daffodil ink, and layered it with foam tape to stick to the front of the box. A double bow of Bumblebee Trendy Twine and a sentiment stamped in black from the APB Choose Happy stamp set finished off the front of the box.

On the three other sides of the box, I used the centers of Lemon Midnight Trendy Page Dots to embellish! Don't throw those centers away when you use Trendy Page Dots, use them to dress up your projects! They can take the place of sequins or simply add polka dots to add visual interest.

 If you are looking for more inspiration on what you can create with Bumblebee Trendy Twine, you can see some of my past projects using it HERE.

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

You can also find Bumblebee in the Bumblebee Trendy Twine Sampler if you don't need a whole spool.

Trendy Bakers Twine~Masculine With Thanks Card

Hello all, I am back with another post for the Trendy Twine blog! This month we are spotlighting Bumblebee Trendy Twine, a bright, cheerful twist of black and yellow. It is such a versatile color! Today, I am sharing a masculine card with it.

The patterned papers are from DCWV's Honey Dear stack. I thought they were great for a guy card and the colors were a perfect match with Bumblebee Trendy Twine! The background paper was cut to 4"x5.25" and the yellow plaid strip was cut to 2''x4.75". I then matted the narrow strip with black cardstock cut to 2.25"x5" and cut one end at 1.25" to create both sides of the strip. The cut ends border the outer edges of the card. I used my Crop-A-Dile and 1/18" eyelets and 20" of Bumblebee Trendy Twine to create the lacing area. I did not adhere the yellow strip until after it was loosely laced, then once both sides were glued in place, I tightened the laces and tied a bow.

The focal point was created with a Kraft Bracket Card matted with a black die cut from CC stitched rounded rectangle dies. The toolbench stamp is retired from a SumMore Fun set called Handy Man and was stamped with SB.com Rainy Day ink. The sentiment was from the APB Greetings stamp set (on SALE for only $9!) and was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink. The Kraft Bracket Card was popped up with foam tape for a little extra dimension.

 If you are looking for more inspiration on what you can create with Bumblebee Trendy Twine, you can see some of my past projects using it HERE.

Trendy Twine~Best Wishes Bee Card

Hello friends!  Today is my day to post on the Trendy Twine blog.  This month we are showcasing projects that use Bumblebee Trendy Twine.

I created this card for my son who recently participated in his school spelling bee.  I gave it to him the morning of the bee as a good luck card.  I used the Bumble Bears file from KaDoodle Bug Designs.  I added Bumblebee Trendy Twine on the tips of the antennae and as a bow on the bear.

I used more of the Bumblebee Trendy Twine and braided a section of it to use as a divider between the patterned paper and the embossed yellow paper.  I also wrapped some of it around the sentiment flag.

And how did my son do at the spelling bee, you may be wondering??  Well, he won 1st place!

Happy Halloween Cards

Happy Wednesday morning!  Today is my turn to post on the SVG Attic blog.  Every year I send out Halloween cards to all of our family members.  There are SO many cute ones at SVG Attic that I had a hard time picking which ones to start with.  I used the papers that I was blessed to receive from my crafty friend, Lisa, as inspiration for my cards.  Thank you so much, Lisa!

 This first one is from the Ghostly Sweet Tooth set.  I thought it was very cute with all of those layers and the shaped side.  I added a bow on the ghost of Lime Licorice Trendy Twine.

 The candy corn card is from the Spooky Cards set.  It looks a little different than the picture on the website because I wanted my candy corns to by filled in.  All I did was "break apart" the top card layer so all of the pieces were separate.  Then I grouped the pieces I wanted by color and cut them out.  They fit perfectly in the spaces of the top layer!  I wrapped some Bumblebee Trendy Twine around the bottom and added a few sequins for embellishments.

 Do you see the fun stamp I added to the top?  It is from Pink & Main.  This Saturday, we are having a Halloween blog hop with them!

You can join the Facebook event HERE for a reminder to hop.  We hope to see you there!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Tool Birthday Cards

Today I am sharing two cards that sat as UFO on my work table for a LONG time.  They would get pushed aside, buried, ignored until I finally cleared off all of my craft workspaces in a major cleaning spree.  I was determined to finish everything that I came across, so here are two tool themed birthday cards.

This first one is a CAS card that uses a Vintage Tools stamp set.  The sentiment is from the Stampin Up! Time to Celebrate set.  I wrapped the banner with Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine and used 3 brads to embellish the top right corner.

This card is bright and bold!  The patterned papers are from DCWV's Boyhood stack.

The tool die cuts are from SVG Attic's PSD Toolbox Kit.

Once again, the sentiment is from the Stampin Up! Time to Celebrate set and I wrapped the banner with Bumblebee Trendy Twine.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

SVG Attic Halloween Treat Box and Card

Hello crafty friends!  Today is my day to post on the SVG Attic blog and I simply had to go with Halloween themed projects!

First up, I made this candy corn treat box from the JGW Ghostly Sweet Tooth set.  I used DCWV's Spooky Delight stack, Blue Moon Bead Charms and Midnight and Orange Licorice Trendy Twines.

Here is a view of the box opened up.  It will hold several fun size candy bars!

My second creation is a double diamond fold card from the JGW Welcome to BOO-Ville set.  Isn't it an awesome card style?!

I used DCWV's Spooky Delight and Mixed Media stacks, Blue Moon Bead Charms and Bumblebee Trendy Twine.  The stamp on the lower right corner is from APB Happy Halloween stamp set.  In this picture you can see how it looks all folded up.  There is a matching envelope for this card in the JGW Welcome to BOO-Ville set as well.

Here is a look at the sets I used:

Game Time Birthday Card

Hello all! Today I am sharing another project from my photo archives. Time just keeps going faster than I can share my projects it seems LOL! This time it is a birthday card with a gaming theme.

Patterned papers are from The Paper Studio's Boy paper pad. I have used that so many times and absolutely LOVE it! The 11 was cut with my Silhouette Cameo and popped up with foam tape. The stamped sentiment was from an old Whimsy Stamps set. I wrapped Bumblebee Trendy Twine where the two patterned papers joined to add more visual interest and texture before adhering everything onto the yellow card base. 

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Sunflower Shaker Card

Hello all!  Today is my day to post on the SVG Attic blog.  I created a shaker version of the sunflower sunny day card in the new JGW Sunflower Sunshine set at SVG Attic.

Since the layers of the sunflower are built up with circle of cardstock inbetween, it is the perfect place to create a shaker!  I added acetate over the circle opening of the card front using scor-tape to form the back of the shaker.  For the front of the shaker, I traced around the outside of the dk. brown circle on acetate and simply cut it out by hand.  I glued it underneath the dk. brown circle and built up all the other layers of the flower.  It formed a perfect well to add sequins to!

Here is a closer look at the shaker!  The patterned papers I used are from MME Sunshine 6x6 pad.  I embellished the flower with some Bumblebee Trendy Twine.

The little bee on the card is such a fun accent!

Here is what the card looks like when it is opened up.  I will be using this card for a Mother's Day card!

Here is a look at the entire JGW Sunflower Sunshine set:

I Believe In Friends Card

Hello all!  This is a card that I created a few months ago (as you can tell by the green grass in the picture!) but hadn't shared yet.  I made it for a very special crafty friend!

The papers are from DCWV's Watercolor stack, the stamps are from Oak Tree Stamps' Believe set.  I embellished with Bumblebee Trendy Twine and Lime Licorice Batty sequins.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Love Has Wings Butterfly Card

Hello again, today is once again my day to post on the Victorine Originals blog!  Two weeks ago I shared THIS butterfly card with you, and today is another butterfly card, but with an entirely different feel to it!

I started with a piece of white cardstock and stamped and embossed the gorgeous butterfly wing from the V.O. Wings Stamp Set.  Then I watered down black and yellow acrylic paint to splatter it over the white cardstock.  After that I die cut it with a GMD Scalloped Stitched Rectangle die.  The patterned paper is from DCWV's Country Floral stack and I die cut that with a GMD stitched rectangle die and cut a slit partway across from the right side to show the wing stamp.

To dress up the rest of the front I added Bumblebee Trendy Twine and an unbranded tag die cut.  I stamped a sentiment from the Wings Stamp Set and added three matte finish yellow enamel dots.

Are you ready to see ALL the awesomeness of the stamp set I used?  Here it is!

Wings Stamp Set 

Yes, it is a huge set and oh-so-beautiful.  It measures approximately 8x8".

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Dance In The Rain Card

Hello all!  Happy Wednesday.  Today is my day to post on the Victorine Originals blog.  I created a card that is a little different from what I usually make to share with you.  This one has a lot of watercoloring on it.

I started out by stamping the Victorine Originals Dance in the Rain stamp with Versafine Onyx Black Ink onto Canson XL Watercolor paper and then heat embossing it with WOW Clear embossing Powder.  I added the green grass and the rainy gray background with watercolors.  I then used Stampabilities Slate Gray ink and the Victorine Originals Backgrounds set to add little flecks on the background paper.  I added a pair of die cut rain boots by the sentiment.

For the top of the card, I cut three clouds using GMD stitched cloud border dies and papers from the DCWV Silver Leaf stack.  I wrapped Bumblebee Trendy Twine around them for a little pop of color and then adhered them to the background that I had created.

Remember, we have our Ahoy Landlubbers challenge going on right now!  Here is the inspiration photo for it.  You can use the pictures, theme, and/or colors to enter.
