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.

This year, I went with a fall theme because I loved those sweet pumpkin images on the papers from Echo Park's Sweater Weather 6x6 paper pad. I used circle dies to cut layers for the focal point, then used a precision glue press to adhere Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Twine around the circle and also added a bow of the same twine at the bottom of the circle.

The sentiment banner on the front features a sentiment from the APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set, which was stamped with SB.com Dark Chocolate ink. I used brads to secure the banner to the card.

I also decorated the inside of the card with scraps from the papers I used on the front. The inside sentiment is from the APB Smile stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed this card! Now, hop on over to the Trendy Twine blog to wish Lesley a "Happy Birthday"!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Pooh Pillow Box

Hello all! I am on the Trendy Twine blog today with this sweet Christmas pillow box treat. It features Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine, which is a festive blend of red and icy blue.

I started with a clear Medium Pillow Box and wrapped Echo Park Winnie The Pooh Christmas paper around it, securing it with double sided tape. I then wrapped Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine around both sides of the Pooh patterned paper. The sentiment was created with a stamp from the APB Let It Snow stamp set, VersaMark ink, and Ranger Holographic embossing powder. Once that was glued to the box, I embellished with sequins from the Jolly Shaker Medley and a bow of Frosted Cranberry Trendy Twine. I added three mini Twix candy bars to the inside of the pillow box. It is the perfect size for stocking stuffers, or coworker gifts!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Fall Coffee Card

Hello all! Today I have a cozy fall coffee themed card for the Trendy Twine blog. As the temperatures drop, warm drinks make me smile! I hope this card makes you smile too!

All the patterned papers you see are from DCWV's Fall Gathering stack. The focal point of the coffee cup was die cut with Coffee Break Honey Cuts and the stamped pumpkin was stamped in black ink from APB Hello Fall stamp set. It was popped up with foam tape. The leaves at the bottom were also stamped using the APB Hello Fall stamp set...which happens to be on sale for ONLY $3 right now! Grab it fast! At the bottom of the focal point, I also stamped a sentiment in black from the APB Need Coffee stamp set. To finish off this lovely fall card, my young daughter wanted to braid three strands of Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Twine together to add more texture and to tie all of the colors together. Didn't she do a great job on that? Adhesives used on the card include ATG, precision glue press, and foam tape.

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

APB Hello Fall stamp set

APB Need Coffee stamp set

If you don't need a full spool of Spiced Pumpkin, consider the Autumn Spice Sampler!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Frankenstein Card

Hello all! I have a Halloween themed post for the Trendy Twine blog today. With all of the fun Halloween Trendy Twine twists available, it was hard for me to decide which one to use, but I finally decided on Spooktacular Taffy Trendy Twine. 

The patterned papers on this one are from an old MAMBI 6x6 Halloween paper pad, including the fussy cut Frankenstein. I wrapped Spooktacular Taffy Trendy Twine around the background apper three times before adhering it to the card base. The white banner, die cut from GMD stitched fishtail banners, was the perfect clean focal point. The sentiment strip was created with the Happy Halloween stamp set and VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. I also wrapped more Spooktacular Taffy Trendy Twine around it, then popped it up with foam tape. Enchanting Sequins were the perfect finishing touch. I really think those bat sequins add so much to Halloween projects!

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

If you don't need a whole spool of the Trendy Twine I used today, check out the Trick or Treating sampler! It has 10 yards of each twist on wooden clothespins for ease of use and storage.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
