Planner Friday - June

Hello!  Welcome to Planner Friday!  I'm Amanda from She's Eclectic and I've been the resident planner girl here on the Trendy Twine blog for the last four years.  I stop by once a month to show you how I use my APB stamps to get organised and to pretty up my planner pages!

As it will be July soon I spent some time this week setting up the monthly overview in my travellers notebook.  I like being able to see exactly what I have going on each month all in one quick glance and the stamps are so much neater and easier to read than my handwriting!




One of the things I love about the APB stamps is that they work in so many different size planners!  They fit perfectly in A5, personal, pocket and mini size Filofaxes, all sizes of Travellers Notebooks and planners like Erin Condren's and the Happy Planner.  Over the years I have swapped and changed my planners, organisers and journals but I have kept on using my APB products as they are so versatile.

I have recently switched to B6 size and this gives me enough space for my notes and reminders without being too big or bulky for me to carry around daily.  I started to plan my month by adding a strip of washi tape along the top edge of the pages and matched my inks and pens to the colours of it.

Then I used some practical stamps from the School DaysAt Home and Title It sets to record things like clubs, field trips, the last days of school, bills, errands and planning sessions.  I also used the Brain Dump stamp from the Title It set in the long space next to my calendar on he left so I can record any random information and reminders as and when they come to me.

Once I had added in all my plans I decorated some of the free space using the sun stamp from the How's The Weather set, a couple of fun quote stamps from the Choose Happy set and some sweet coffee stamps from the Need Coffee set because if I'm going to survive a sweltering hot summer then I'm going to be drinking iced coffee all day, every day until autumn!



My July plans

Have you planned your summer yet or do you want to get organised before the new school year starts?  If you are feeling inspired then stop by the store now and check out all the stamps and supplies that can help you with your goals!

See you again soon!

Trendy Bakers Twine - Chill Out

Hi Trendy Fans!

This is Shelly from My Paper Love sharing a clean and simple card using the spotlight spotlight Twine Totally Blue Trendy Twine.
I saw this adorable die cut and just had to have it. It's perfect for summer projects.  I got some great inspiration from Beth for this card.  She made a card using twine to create a background so I tried it too.  I just simply wrapped the twine around the circle mat.

Then I added the die cut Popsicle to the center.

Then I used Drinks & More Planner Stamps to add this fun sentiment.


And don't miss out on the fun Treat Packing Bundle available this month!

Trendy Twine -- Celebrate You!

Hello everyone!  I'm Helen from HTB Creations and today I'm sharing a fun card using Totally Blue Trendy Twine and several sequins mixes.  I really LOVE how this card turned out!!

 I've had this pinata die from My Favorite Things since May.  I've totally been wanting to use it and the Totally Blue Trendy Twine was perfect for the 'string' to hang it from.  The die has a cardstock base and all the layers are cut out of crepe paper, except for the eye, that's cardstock.


Next, I glued my Totally Blue Trendy Twine to the back of the pinata and hooked it over the back and taped it down, and added a bow. I attached the pinata to the card front with dimensional tape. 


Lastly, I added my sentiment and added colorful sequins around.  The sequins came from the following:  Blue Berry, Grape Fizz, Lemon Tart, Rapsberry Cupcake, and Twisted Lime.  I love how fun they all go together and should mix them up more often LOL!

There's more fun projects to come so keep checking back.

Don't forget about the June Treat Packaging Bundle! It's such a great deal.
Have a great day!

Trendy Bakers Twine ~ Wonderful Day Floral Card

Hello all and happy Wednesday!  Beth from Beth's Beauties with a project to share with you today.  This time, it is a card that I tried a new to me technique on; weaving.
I die cut a scalloped rectangle so it would be easy to evenly space the Trendy Twine around it.  Totally Blue Trendy Twine and Totally Lemon Trendy Twine were wrapped in opposite directions around the white rectangle to create this unique and beautiful background.  I die cut a flower and added a sentiment that I stamped in navy ink from the APB Smile stamp set.  The finishing touch was a few dots of Stickles.

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

Trendy Bakers Twine - Hot Stuff

Hi Trendy Fans!

This is Shelly from My Paper Love sharing some note cards using the spotlight Twine Totally Blue Trendy Twine and the Square Glassine Envelopes.  If you've followed me for a while then you know last year I had a bit of an obsession with the APB Glassine products. I used them for everything! So it was great to pull these tiny little gems out and create some cute note cards!
I made some tiny note cards (2x2) using the Drinks & More Planner Stamps .

I added a little decorative trim on each card and stamped the image and sentiment above the trim.

I just added a little coloring to each cup and they were complete. I just tucked them in the envelope and tied them with the totally blue and they were complete!

Keep checking back this month for more great projects.

Trendy Bakers Twine -- Just for You

Hello everyone! I'm Helen from HTB Creations.  Today I have some cute mini cards to share with you.  We are featuring the Totally Blue Trendy Twine along with the Square Glassine Envelopes. I also used the adorable Foodie Planner Stamps, the You've Got Mail Stamps and some Trendy Page Dots to close the envelopes.


I made some some 2x2 cards (approximately).  They were the perfect size to fit into these cute envelopes.  I stamped the cupcake from the Foodie Planner Stamps and the sentiment from the You've Got Mail set.  Then I added my Totally Blue Trendy Twine with a bow.


I slipped the cards into the Square Glassine Envelopes.  I love that you can see the cute card through these fun envelopes


The envelopes don't have a seal so some fun Trendy Page Dots to close them up!


These were so fun to make!  

Keep checking back this month for more great projects.

Trendy Bakers Twine ~ First Communion Scrapbook Page

Hello all and happy Wednesday!  Beth from Beth's Beauties with a project to share with you today.  This time it is a scrapbook page documenting my son's First Communion.
This month's featured Totally Blue Trendy Twine matched the pictures so well that I knew I had to use them together!  I used a Kraft Tag-It inside a Wee Glassine Envelope for journaling.  I added a Lime Orangesicle Trendy Page Dot and Totally Blue Trendy Twine to the tag along with a stamp from the APB Documenting The Everyday stamp set.  I also wrapped Totally Blue Trendy Twine around the bottom picture on the layout.
The White Tag-It was decorated and stamped with the same items as the first.  I also included die cuts of the title and the Communion chalice (svg from SVG Attic) to accent the page.  The patterned papers were from The Paper Studio's Pixey Stix stack.

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