Trendy Bakers Twine~Pumpkin Take Out Box

Hello all and happy Tuesday!  I am sharing the fun fall treat box I made for the Trendy Twine blog today. This month we are showcasing Orangesicle Trendy Twine and Mini Take Out Boxes.

 I started with a Mini Take Out Box and covered the folded sides with paper using.  Then I added pumpkin die cuts to the front and back of the box.  They were cut at 3.25" tall so they were a bit taller than the sides.  For the front oval cut of the pumpkin, I added red-lined adhesive to it and then covered the whole thing with Orangesicle Trendy Twine, trimming around the oval when I was done and adhering it to the pumpkin base.  The stem of the pumpkin was wrapped with Twisted Lime Trendy Twine.  I stamped a sentiment from the APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and added it to the front of the pumpkin.  The finishing touch was to add Autumn Sequins.  All papers used were from DCWV's Pumpkin Patch stack.

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

Autumn Layout

Hello everyone!  Today I am posting for the SVG Attic blog.  I did another layout for this project which is definitely not the norm for me, but I am happy to have accomplished it ;)

 I used SVG Attic's English Marigolds Autumn A7 Card file for the layout, but only used the elements for the front of the card.  I sized those pieces to have them be 11" tall.  All the papers I used were from DCWV's Pumpkin Patch stack.  I inked the marigold cuts with brown chalk ink before assembling.

 I kept the rest of the layout simple, only embellishing with Creamy Pumpkin Trendy Twine and leaving a space for a photo and journaling.  The best part is that since my daughter's name is Autumn, this layout title will have a dual purpose!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Memory Keeping with Annie's Paper Boutique

Hello all!  Today the Trendy Twine DT has some memory keeping projects to share with you.  Hop on over to the Trendy Twine blog for the other inspiration!  

This project is a very personal one for me.  I guess you could say that this is a huge reason why it is so important to DO memory keeping posts!  My baby girl was born in July very unexpectedly.  She wasn't due for another 5 weeks.  Everything happened so fast that there was no time for steriods to help develop her lungs, so she had periods of apnea and subsquently was flown to a NICU where she spent the first three weeks of her life.  This is the very beginning of her story!

 The stamps from Feeling Funny and Feeling Happy were perfect to document the wide range of emotions that we went through that day and the days following.  I also used stamps from Documenting the Everyday and Documenting the Everyday #2 for the words on the Kraft Mini Seed Packet and Card and the green arrows on the "Feeling" journaling area.  I also added a Hello Fall Trendy Page Dot to the kraft card along with Twisted Lime Trendy Twine.  The inks I used were VersaFine Onyx Black, and Distress Oxides in Cracked Pistachio, Abandoned Coral and Fossilized Amber.

Of course, I added a picture of baby Autumn that I took when they wheeled her into my hospital room.  She was in the isolette, intubated and with an IV.  It was very hard seeing her like that!  I added Totally Lemon Trendy Twine and Twisted Lime Trendy Twine to embellish the Layout.  

 Last, but not least, I added several Pink Diamond Sparkling Gems around the flowers on the paper.  All the papers used are from DCWV's Flower Shop stack.

Remember to stop by the Trendy Twine blog for more memory keeping inspiration.

Annie's Paper Boutique is running a fantastic sale of all four of the stamp sets I used on this layout page.  Free Domestic shipping is included!

SumMore Fun Monthly Challenge #1

Good morning and welcome to SumMore Fun's brand new challenge!  There are some big changes with this challenge so read on carefully...

From this challenge onward we will be moving to one challenge a month.  Each challenge will have a theme, this may be a technique for you to try or a physical theme.  We are no longer expecting you to link your blog post to our challenge post.  We have a great new Facebook fan group called SumMore Fun Creations. All entries should be placed in the album labelled Monthly Challenge #1 26th Oct in this group which can be found by clicking the link above.  This means even if you don't have a blog you can now join in!!

On to our first monthly challenge:

This month's theme is All Dressed Up

Here is what I created for inspiration using Raisin Boat's Canines In Costume stamp set.

I stamped the image and sentiment with black ink on heavy cardstock using my stamp platform.  Using Distress Inks and my aqua brush, I watercolored the image.  When it was dry, I added Glitter Pink Pearl Pen to the hat buckle, collar, and pumpkin for a little extra shine and glitter!  I die cut around the stamped area with a postage stamp die once the pearl pen was completely dry.  The card base was decorated with papers from DCWV's Eek-A-Boo stack, Trick Or Treat Trendy Twine, and Ice White Pearl Pen.  I then adhered the stamped panel to the card base with foam tape.

Now it is time for you to link up your "All Dressed Up" creations in the SumMore Fun Creations Facebook group!  You have a whole month to do so.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
