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 for the birthday girl. 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 head to the comment section to join me in wishing Lesley a "Happy Birthday"!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Birthday Bee Card

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here with a project for the Trendy Twine blog that features Lemon Midnight Trendy Twine. I love the versatility of that twist! It works amazing for masculine projects, spring projects, and of course, bee themed projects, which is what I am sharing today.

On this card, I used several patterned papers from Echo Park's Bee Happy 6x6" paper pad. I wrapped Lemon Midnight Trendy Twine around both sides of the center strip of patterned paper two times to create a border. The GMD double stitched hexagon die cuts popped up with foam tape made a perfect landing pad for little bumblebees that I punched out of the patterned paper! I then created bee trails by using my precision glue press and just freehanding curly lines, then adding more Lemon Midnight Trendy Twine to those glue lines. For the sentiment strip, I used the Pink and Main Sweet stamp set with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and Scrapbook.com Daffodil ink. That also was popped up at an angle with the same angle as the hexagon sides in the middle of the card. I also added a trio of honey colored gems to finish everything off.

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

Lemon Midnight Trendy Twine

The Lemon Midnight Sampler is perfect if you don't need a full spool. Each color is ten yards in length and comes on a wooden clothespin for easy use and storage.

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~Celebrate Spring Cards

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here today. It is officially SPRING and I am so excited to share my latest creations with that theme. They feature the beautiful Cotton Candy Trendy Twine.

I started by choosing springtime patterned paper, which is from Jillibean Soup's Coconut Lime 6x6 paper pad. I utilized the November 2023 SheetLoad of Cards sketch as a way to showcase several visually interesting techniques/supplies.

I really loved the diagonal strips of paper. It was something different than I usually do! The Cotton Candy Trendy Twine was a perfect accent to add between those paper strips. It adds great texture to the card! The vellum circle was die cut with a Cottage Cutz stitched scallop circle die and was adhered to the card front with foam tape. I die cut the GMD spring flower arrangement die out of white to allow the patterned papers and little punched out butterflies to shine!

The sentiment is from the Greetings stamp set and was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink. The banner, tiny butterflies, and flower were all adhered with Bearly Art precision glue. Don't the bright and beautiful colors on these cards make you smile? These will be great for birthday cards or just to brighten someone's day.

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

Cotton Candy Trendy Twine

Greetings stamp set (currently on sale for $8)

You can also find Cotton Candy along with Posy and Sky in the Cotton Candy Sampler. Each color is ten yards in length, perfect for building a variety of Trendy Twine colors!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine~SheetLoad of Gaming Cards

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here with a SheetLoad of gaming cards for all of the boy birthdays I have coming up in our family!  It worked out great with the Trendy Twine featured this month, Aqua Midnight Trendy Twine.

I used papers from The Paper Studio's Boy paper pad with the August 2023 SheetLoad of Cards sketch to create these 8 cards.  I thought Tag-Its were the perfect blank slate to use as a focal point on them.  For half of the cards, I used Lemon Tag-Its, stamped the sentiment from the Smile stamp set in black, added a Aqua Midnight Trendy Page Dot, Aqua Midnight Trendy Twine, and a fussy cut video game controller from the patterned paper.  The tag was popped up with foam tape and I added a trio of Blue Berry Sequins around it.

For the other half of the cards, I made the focal point in very much the same way with the exception of using Leaf Green Tag-Its instead of the Lemon ones.  I also placed it on a different area of the card front.

Here is a look at all 8 of the cards I created.  I really love how they turned out and will be great for all video game loving kids.

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

Aqua Midnight Trendy Twine

Aqua Midnight Trendy Page Dots

Lemon Tag-Its

Leaf Green Tag-Its

Smile stamp set

Blue Berry Sequins

You can also find the featured twines of the month in the Aqua Sampler.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Good morning!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here today with a delightfully whimsical unicorn birthday card.  I loved making it so much, I made multiples of this card!

All of the patterned papers are from the DCWV Unicorns & Rainbows stack.  If you haven't seen those papers yet, you are missing out!  The colors perfectly matched the Trendy Twine twist of the month, Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine.  Those pinks are such happy colors!  I also used DCWV Glitzy Glitter for the light blue layer and solid white cardstock for the sentiment.  The sentiment stamp and die are Unity Say It Big and the stamp was used with VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink.  Once I wrapped the Strawberry Cupcake Trendy Twine around the cardstock panel, I added the sentiments with foam tape.  The final sparkly touch was a trio of Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems adhered with Bearly Art glue.

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

Trendy Bakers Twine~Lightning Bugs Card

Hello all!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here today with this fun lightning bug card...or do you call them fireflies?  One way or the other, this card sure made me smile while I was creating it!

The image stamps were from Pink & Main's Way to Glow stamp set and were cut around using a Brother Scan N Cut.  The sentiment stamp is from Annie Paper Boutique's Greetings stamp set, which is a must have set (and currently on a fantastic sale!).  All were stamped with black ink and I then colored the images with Artify alcohol markers.  I made this card for my niece who loves purple, so I had to find papers to match the colored bugs!  Instead of matting the strip of plaid paper, I added lines of Totally Kraft Trendy Twine and Totally Lemon Trendy Twine next to it for definition.  The focal point was die cut using Cottage Cutz stitched circle and scalloped circle dies.  I added more Totally Kraft Trendy Twine around the handle of the net to look like a grip.  The final embellishments were a trio of Grape Fizz Sequins and a bit of Wink of Stella glitter on the wings and lights of the bugs.  Adhesives used include Bearly Art precision glue, ATG, and foam tape.

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

Totally Kraft Trendy Twine

Totally Lemon Trendy Twine

Greetings stamp set (currently on a huge SALE!)

Grape Fizz Sequins

Trendy Bakers Twine~Princess Birthday Card

Hello all!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here today with this sweet birthday card I created for my niece.  It features our Trendy Twine twist of the month, Totally Raspberry.

The idea for this card came from the Echo Park All Girl 6x6 paper pad.  I thought that princess paper was perfect! For the background, I used GMD scalloped stitched rectangle and stitched rectangle dies.  The scallops were perfect for wrapping Totally Raspberry Trendy Twine around!  The focal point was a collection of stamps from Raisin Boat's Party Princess set and colored with Artify alcohol markers.  I added embellishments of Totally Raspberry Trendy Twine to the party hat and skirt of the princess.  The oval die cuts were from Cottage Cutz.  The sentiment was from the NEW APB Greetings stamp set and for the finishing touches, I added a little sparkle with Cotton Candy sequins and Star Dust Stickles.

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

Totally Raspberry Trendy Twine

APB Greetings stamp set

Cotton Candy sequins

You can also find Totally Raspberry in the Rosy and Raspberry Cupcake Samplers.
