Trendy Bakers Twine~Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello all and Happy Thanksgiving! Beth from Beth's Beauties here, and 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 support Annie's Paper Boutique. It features the versatile Totally Kraft Trendy Twine.

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! Beth from Beth's Beauties here, and I am thrilled to be back with another Christmas project. 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!

Happy Birthday Lesley!

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here. 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. 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 this blog post!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Happy Christmas Card

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here. This month, I am gearing up for Christmas with my posts. 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.

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

Cherry Limeade Trendy Twine

Trendy Bakers Twine~Fall Thank You Card

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here today with a fall thank you card. I love how elegant fall colors and leaves can be and that was my vision for this card.

The patterned papers are from The Paper Studio's Joyfall Gathering paper pack. Before adhering the decorative paper strip to the middle of the card, I wrapped Orange Truffle Trendy Twine around it several times, then tied the ends into a bow. For the maple leaf focal point, I used a Cuttlebug die and embossing folder combo, then distressed it with SB.com Leather ink. I wanted to make the leaf pop off the paper without occluding the view of the patterned papers, so I chose a patterned vellum and die cut it with a GMD double sitched hexagon die. I also used that die set for the other hexagons on the card. The sentiment was stamped with SB.com Orange Cream ink using the APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set. It was popped up with foam tape. Adhering a trio of Autumn Sequins with Bearly Art precision glue was the finshing touch.

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

Orange Truffle Trendy Twine

Trendy Bakers Twine~Thankful Fall Tag

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here today with a fall tag that has a thankful theme to it. Every day is a good day to count our blessings, but especially with Thanksgiving right around the corner! This kind of tag is perfect to let friends, family, neighbors, or coworkers know you are thankful for them.

The base is a Mango Chunky Tag-It stamped all over with the image stamps from the APB Hello Fall planner stamp set. The inks I used are from Scrapbook.com and the colors are Leather, Cardinal Red, Orange Spice, and Succulent. Once the tag was stamped all over, I added a Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Page Dot to the top of the tag. Since the opening at the top of the Chunky Tag-Its is not round, there were little gaps on each side of the Trendy Page Dot, which is exactly what I wanted for the technique I planned for the Trendy Twine. I Cut 3 lengths of Orange Truffle Trendy Twine 12" long and fed each one halfway through the three openings at the top of the tag. I then proceeded to braid the twine, which was double stranded, and tied a knot in the end when I was finished. The sentiment tag was created by stamping an image from the APB Hello Fall planner stamp set in Cardinal Red ink and a sentiment from the APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set in Leather ink. I ink blended the edges of it with Camel ink to lend to the fall theme. A staple secured it to the tag. For a finishing touch, a trio of Autumn Sequins were glued in place with Bearly Art precision glue.

Trendy Bakers Twine~Halloween Treat Bag

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here with a sweet Halloween treat bag. It is a quick way to dress up treats to give to someone special!

I started by placing 2 Reese's candies into the Black Chevron Treat Bag and folded the flap over on it. For the tag, I used a Mango Tag-It, added a Lime Orangesicle Trendy Page Dot and Lime Licorice Trendy Twine to the top. The focal point is a Happy Halloween Cat Print & Punch Tag that I printed off then cut around with my Brother Scan N Cut. Those can also be punched out with a 2" circle punch or die if you have one of those on hand! The chevron circle mat was die cut from Pink and Main's Card Cut Essentials die #2 and was popped up with foam tape on the tag-it. The tag and Bewitching Sequins were adhered with red-lined tape. Now this treat is ready to be given and enjoyed!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Halloween Card Set

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here. Halloween is just around the corner, and I have a set of cards with that theme to share with you today.

In an attempt to work smarter, not harder, I used Pink and Main's Card Cut Essentials dies 1&2 plus 2.5 sheets of 6x6" MAMBI Halloween paper to die cut all the elements that you see on these cards. Once the pieces were all cut, I simply laid out different die cut elements that I thought worked well together and I ended up with 6 cards full of Halloween cuteness and elements from Annie's Paper Boutique!

All of the cards have Lime Licorice Trendy Twine featured on them in one technique or another. Really any of the Halloween Trendy Twines would have worked, but in effort to keep things simple, I just stuck with the one twist.

They also all have different sentiments from the APB Happy Halloween stamp set on them. I love the fun fonts and variety of cute sayings in that set! I used Versafine Onyx Black ink for those.

The stamped Halloween kids are from a retired Victorine Originals stamp set, but you can make anything the focal point of your cards! One great option would be to grab some Halloween Tags from Annie's Paper Boutique. There are so many different styles! Another easy peasy choice to use as your focal point are APB Halloween printables you can print off on your own printer. You can find them HERE and HERE.

To embellish the cards, I used Bewitching Sequins and glued them on with Bearly Art precision glue.

Other items used on these cards include ATG, foam tape, SB.com hybrid black ink, Artify alcohol markers, and a Cottage Cutz stitched circle die. Now I have a head start on my cards to send out for Halloween! What have you been making for the upcoming holidays?

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