Trendy Bakers Twine~Pie and Ice Cream Treat

Good morning!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here today with this sweet Valentine's theme treat.  I used two of our featured items of the month, a Pink Mini Popcorn Box and Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine.

I started with a Pink Mini Popcorn Box and kept it flat for stamping the sentiments from the We Go Together stamp set in black ink.  Still keeping it flat, I added Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine around the top scalloped edge by applying a thin line of Bearly Arts precision glue.  I also added a bow of Cherry Cupcake Trendy Twine.  I set that aside to dry and stamped the pie image from the Perfect Pairs stamp set onto white cardstock with black ink.  I cut that out with my Brother Scan N Cut and colored it with Artify Markers to look like fresh strawberry pie...yummy!  I added that to the box with foam tape and finished it off with some dots of red Pearl Pen.  Once everything was dry, I assembled the box and added the sweet treats.

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

Trendy Twine - Shaker Maze

Hello and Happy Thursday Crafty Friends!
Theresa here from Theresa's Crafty Creations

  back as the Guest Designer for Trendy Twine!! 

This month they are featuring Aqua Licorice Trendy Twine

I created this fun maze shaker interactive card --

I found a maze design in my Silhouette Program, so I sized it

up and printed it out as my guide - Then I took some Adhesive glue

and added it to the maze print out and then added the Twine on top

so it would make the shape of the maze -

I added 1 tiny bead so you could play with the maze -

It works because I could not stop playing with it!

I dressed up the inside of my card to match the front -

I love the small To GO Coffee and sweet sentiments!

The Sentiment stamps are from Annie's Paper Boutique

Planner Friday - February

Hello!  I am Amanda from She's Eclectic and I am the resident planner girl here on the Trendy Twine blog.  I love to use my APB stamps to help me stay organised and to add a bit of fun to my planner pages too.  As next week is Valentine's day I have gone all out with a "romantic" theme full of hearts and things that go together perfectly so let me show you how I did it!

School days planner stamps

The first thing I always do is to add washi tape wherever I can fit it in on my spread, usually along to top and bottom of the pages.  Then I pair that with a set of trendy page dots which reinforce the holes and protect my pages from tearing as well as adding a lovely splash of colour! I do this before I write or stamp anything so I know exactly how much space I have to work with.

Next it is time to get practical with the Check it off, At home, More at home, and School days stamp sets!  I use the Check it off stamps to create my to do lists and then I use the other sets to add my reminders and things I need to complete like doing the recycling, paying bills and running errands.  They also cover things like events, appointments, assemblies and after school clubs.

If you want to just get organised you can stop here, you have made your plans and now you just need to work on finishing them but if you want your planner pages to look really pretty as well as being practical then there is one more stage left to do, decorate them!

Decorating with image stamps, washi and trendy page dots

I use my APB image stamps to create my designs and a few stickers here and there.  For this week I used the You & me, Perfect pairs and We go together stamp sets to add sweet little couples that compliment each other like coffee and doughnuts and eggs and bacon.  Then I coloured them in to match my Valentine's Day theme using lots of pink!

Next week's plans

So this is how my week looks!

Do you like to decorate your planner, I'd love to know!

Planner Friday - July

Amanda here from She's Eclectic. It's finally summer and the schools have broken up for the holidays here in the UK!  I am all set for fun in the sun, days out and lots of adventures which I want to document in my cute little travellers notebook and Annie's Paper Boutique has the perfect stamps to help me do it!

I wanted to create a spread I could fill in whenever something memorable happened during the break so I got out my stamps and planning essentials and set to work!

My summer holiday spread

I started with a strip of washi tape along the top of the page and then added a sweet mini calendar which I filled in with the dates for August.  I am going to use this to record any important dates during the month and the week my husband has booked off work.

I used stamps from the Documenting The Everyday #1 & #2 sets to make sections for my memories and stories so now I have space for Family Time, So Fun, Time With Friends and room for my favourite photo I take over the summer.

Creating sections

I stamped my kraft tag-it with the Details stamp from the Documenting The Everyday #2 set and glued it next to the place I had made for my photo so I can write about when and where the picture was taken and why it is important to me.

The weather here has been glorious recently and I hope it continues through August too so I used the sun stamp from my How's The Weather set and underneath it I used the Shine Bright stamp from my Choose Happy set as my way of willing the sunshine to continue!

I'm a foodie!

I had some space left around the edge of my spread so I used some stamps from the You & Me, Perfect Pairs, Foodies and Drinks & More sets for extra decoration.  The last step was so add a few travel themed stickers and I tried to match them to the colours of the inks and the washi tape I had used to pull the whole thing together.

Do you like how it turned out?

If you want to document your summer then head over the store now and check out all the fun supplies and I'll see you again next month for another Planner Friday!

Planner Friday - May

Summer is just around the corner and I can't wait!  Spring has been a mixed bag this year, we've had a lot of rain and even some snow this side of the pond so I am looking forward to spending time outside in the sunshine more than ever right now.  Today I thought I would document my ideal summer in my travellers notebook using some of my favourite APB stamps to really get me in the mood!

My perfect summer

So as you can see most of my favourite summer activities involve some kind of food!  Whenever I think of summer I always picture BBQs, ice cream and chilled glasses of wine, get togethers with family and friends and adventures!  

I used stamps from the Foodies, Drinks & More and Perfect Pairs sets for the images in my spread and then coloured them in using pencil crayons.  The sun stamp was from the How's The Weather? set and I used yellow ink for that one so it would be nice and bright.

Then I used some stamps from the Choose Happy, You & Me, Documenting The Everyday #1 and #2 sets to add some quotes that remind me of summer to the pages!

Weekend plans

I used part of  Weekend stamp but I didn't ink the whole thing as I wanted to add an S to the end of it to make Weekends instead.  I love busy Saturdays followed by lazy Sundays especially in the summer!    

What are your favourite things about summer?  

If you fancy creating your own journalling spread then stop by the store now and pick up some stamps to get you started!

Planner Friday - April

Wow, Planner Friday came around again so quickly!  I feel like the months are speeding by and it will be summer before we know it.  Though that's not a bad thing, I can't wait for some sunshine! 

For today's post I wanted to show you how I use my Annie's Paper Boutique stamps to help keep me organised and add a little fun to my planner pages too.

Trendy Page Dots

I knew when I started planning my week that I was going to be busier than usual so I added plenty of check boxes for my daily to dos using a stamp from the Check It Off set and then added my reminders and lists with stamps from the At Home and School Days sets.  I reinforced the holes in my pages with colourful Trendy Page Dots, paired them with some bright and cheery washi tape and added one of my favourite coffee planner clips.

Talking of coffee I knew I was going to need a lot of caffeine see me through the week so I made it the theme for my pages!   There is a special set of  APB stamps for my fellow coffee addicts, aptly called Need Coffee and they are the perfect size for planner pages as they are quite small so you will still have have plenty of space left to make your notes around them.  I also used a larger coffee stamp from the Perfect Pairs set in my Sunday section as I have less to do that day and had more space for decoration.  The last thing I did was to colour in the stamps with fineliners and pencil crayons and then I was ready to face the week!

My week fuelled by coffee

I have to admit I am glad it is Friday now as my week is winding down a little.  I might have had a lot to do but every time I opened my planner I was greeted with a cheerful spread which made my tasks seem less daunting.  

How do you get through a busy week?

Don't forget to stop by the store to check out all the lovely planning supplies and I'll be back again next month for another Planner Friday!

Planner Friday - November

Yes!  We are so close to December I can almost taste it!  I can't wait for the festive period to start so I thought for this month's Planner Friday I would show you my Christmas themed spread in my Travellers Notebook.

My Christmas spread

I wanted to record some of my favourite things about Christmas and list the things I am looking forward to doing next month so I got to work with my Annie's Paper Boutique stamps!  I absolutely LOVE my Christmas stamp sets, they are full of fun and quirky quotes that are perfect for journalling, card making, gift tags and lots more!  

On the first page I have used the Christmas Movies stamp from the This is December set for the list of films I want to watch over the holidays and I added a couple of stamps from the Foodies set as there will definitely be snacks involved while I watch them!  Frozen is a family favourite in this house so the Do you want to build a snowman? stamp from the Let It Snow set just had to make an appearance too!

On the second page I have a list of things I need to do but they are also things I enjoy.  I can't wait to put up the tree, cover the house in decorations, hit the shops to buy gifts and treats and then wrap it all up.  I also recorded some of my favourite things to drink and eat using the This Is December #2

and Drinks & More stamp sets and I have left myself a space to add a photo of my children I am going to take on Christmas Eve while they are waiting for Santa to arrive.

The last thing I did was to give myself a reminder that I need to put out some cookies and milk for Father Christmas and a carrot for Rudolph and I used the image stamps from my Perfect Pairs set for this.  I think they look super cute!
