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~Fall Coffee Card

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here with a cozy fall coffee themed card. 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:

Trendy Bakers Twine~Frankenstein Card

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here with a Halloween themed post. 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:

Trendy Bakers Twine~Back To School

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here with a back to school post. Today all of my kids are heading back to school, and I am sure they will be starting soon where you are too. My projects feature In The Navy Trendy Twine and printable focal points from Annie's Paper Boutique.

First up, I made a simple pencil treat bag. I added pencils that I had laser engraved with affirmation sayings into a 2"x8" zip bag, closed it, and added a Let's Start This Year Off Write Printable Bag Topper. I didn't want to take attention away from the sayings on the pencils, so I chose to simply wrap In The Navy Trendy Twine around the bag multiple times and tied it in a knot. Easy peasy!

Next up, I created a small card to go with the pencils using a Happy First Day of School Print & Punch Tag as the focal point. It was layered with a die cut from Pink & Main's Card Cut Essentials Dies set 2 and adhered with foam tape to the base. For the base, I used scraps of patterned paper from Doodlebug Design School Days 6x6" paper pad and wrapped In The Navy Trendy Twine around the center. The only other embellishment I used was a couple Blue Berry Sequins.

Now you have a couple quick ideas for school kids using printables from Annie's Paper Boutique along with just a few other supplies!

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

Trendy Bakers Twine~Sunshine Card

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here today with a project that features Orangesicle Trendy Twine. It is a card that really portrays lots of summer sunshine!

All the patterned papers and sentiment panel were from Echo Park's My Favorite Summer 6x6" paper pad. The sun was die cut with the Pink & Main Card Cut Essentials Dies Set 2 once I glued it in the corner of the card, I cut lengths of Orangesicle Trendy Twine for sun rays and adhered them with Bearly Art precision glue. The sentiment panel was popped up with foam tape. I thought the area to the left of the sentiment looked a little empty, so I added a bit of Orange Chevron Ribbon there. A trio of Autumn Sequins added a bit of sparkle to finish off the card.

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

Orangesicle Trendy Twine

Orange Chevron Ribbon

Autumn Sequins

You can also find Orangesicle in the Orange Sampler and in the Original Sampler. Each

color is ten yards in length and comes on a wooden clothespin for easy use and storage.

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.

Trendy Bakers Twine~Bunny Trail Card

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here today with this fun pastel Easter card. It features Posy Trendy Twine.

The patterned papers and ephemera are from Echo Park's It's Easter Time collection. They matched the Posy Trendy Twine so well! I love pastel colors for springtime! I wrapped Posy Trendy Twine three times along each side of the green center panel of paper before adhering it to the card base. For the focal point, I used a Sky Chunky Tag-It with more Posy Trendy Twine laced through the top. The tag was popped up with foam tape to the card. Lastly, I used mini Glue Dots squares to add Cotton Candy Sequins for some subtle shine.

Trendy Bakers Twine~He Is Risen Card

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here today. We have been getting some sunny days lately, and this card captures some of that cheerfulness. The featured Trendy Twine of the month on this card is Bubblegum Taffy.

To begin with, I adhered patterned papers from Echo Park's Have Faith collection onto a kraft cardstock mat. I then used a small hole punch to add 2 holes in each corner to weave Bubblegum Taffy Trendy Twine through. I thought it created a fun border and great visual interest. For the focal point, I used an oval die with white cardstock and a scalloped oval die with vellum to create the background. I then die cut the Cottage Cutz He Is Risen die cross and words with navy blue cardstock and glued them to the vellum with Bearly Art glue. The top layer of the cross was cut from white glitter cardstock and also glued ontp the cross base. I used foam tape to pop up the oval onto the card front. For extra shimmer, I ran around the outer edge of the scalloped circle with Clear Glitter Wink of Stella, then added Cotton Candy Sequins in the four corners of the card with Glue Dots glue squares. 

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

Bubblegum Taffy Trendy Twine

Cotton Candy Sequins

Trendy Bakers Twine~Lucky Day Card

Hello all! Beth from Beth's Beauties here with a new project that features Limeade Trendy Twine!  It is a twist of bright lime and white, making it perfect for St. Patty's Day projects. Today I am sharing a monochromatic card with that theme.

I started with papers from the Echo Park Happy St. Patrick's Day 6x6 paper pad and layered them with borders of Limeade Trendy Twine. Bearly Art Precision glue is the perfect glue to lay a thin line for twine applications such as the one on this card! I also used a bit more Limeade Trendy Twine to tie a knot in the lower right corner of the card. For the focal point, I simply used a sentiment square from the same paper pad, used foam tape behind it, then matted it with a white 3" paper doily to make it pop off the card. A trio of Bewitching Sequins gave a little shine to the card and matched the green theme perfectly!

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

Limeade Trendy Twine

3" paper doily

Bewitching Sequins

If you don't need a whole spool of Limeade, consider the Going Green Sampler! It includes 10 yards each of the following Trendy Twine colors: Limeade, Totally Limeade, Holly, and Twisted Lime.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
