Trendy Bakers Twine~You are Spook-tacular Cards

Good morning and Happy Halloween!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here today with this trio of Halloween cards.  I was still in need of a few more Halloween cards to send out, and when I came across the "stack, slice, and shuffle" method of cards, I knew that's what I wanted to make.  Simple yet quirky and it hilights lots of fun patterned papers.

The concept behind this style of cards is to cut 3 coordinating patterned papers the size you want them for your card front.  Then stack them up and slice them all at once with your paper trimmer, making sure to keep them aligned.  Once you make 2 random cuts, you shuffle the pieces so 1 of each patterned piece is set aside for each card.  Very quick and no two are identical!

The materials I used for these cards are older DCWV Halloween papers, black cardstock, Spooktacular Taffy Trendy Twine, haunted house brads, a stamped sentiment from APB Happy Halloween stamp set, and Enchanting sequins.

I absolutely love how the Spooktacular Taffy Trendy Twine coordinated perfectly with the papers I used.  Isn't this style of card fun?!  This was the first time I tried it, but it definitely won't be the last!

Trendy Bakers Twine~Collection of Halloween Cards

Good morning!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here today with this collection of Halloween cards.  Every year I send out Halloween cards to my family, so I go through a lot.  These were pretty simple, making them easy to mass produce!

I started with pre-made 5x7" black card bases and an old DCWV Fall & Halloween stack that had the decorative end cut on the patterned papers already.  I wrapped several colors of Trendy Twine around the patterned paper bases, including: Grape Licorice Trendy Twine, Orange Licorice Trendy Twine, Lime Licorice Trendy Twine, and Twisted Teal Trendy Twine.  The focal point cut aparts were from a different DCWV Halloween stack, but they worked well together.  I popped those up with foam tape.

The only card that didn't already have a sentiment on it was the owl card.  I added a stamped sentiment to it using APB Happy Halloween stamp set and black ink.

Here is a close up of my favorite one.  I love all that is going on on that background!  I kept them simple, not adding other embellishments besides the Trendy Twines, but you could easily add APB Halloween sequins to dress them up even more.

Trendy Bakers Twine~SheetLoad of Valentine's Day Cards

Hello and welcome to my first post of 2022!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here today with a SheetLoad of fun Valentine's Day cards.  I send these out every year, so I wanted to get a head start on them and this month's spotlight of Pink Licorice Trendy Twine was perfect for that project!

I started with the January SheetLoad sketch from Call Me Crafty Al and made it my own!  Patterned papers are from The Paper Studio's Best Day Ever paper pad.  The pink cardstock layer was embossed with a Sizzix Phrases-I Love You folder.  I did have to lightly spritz the pink with water before embossing to make it so the paper didn't carck much with embossing.  

Now let's talk about the focal point on the cards.  There is a LOT going on there!  I started with a White Large Tag-It and stamped a sentiment from the APB You've Got Mail stamp set in SB.com Candy Shop Pink ink.  You want to know all about that heart, right?!  I cut 2 strands of Pink Licorice Trendy Twine and one strand of Totally Pink Trendy Twine at 8.5" long, saturated them with fabric starch and shaped them into the heart.  I let them dry fully on my glass craft mat and then trimmed the ends as needed and glued them to the Tag-Its with Bearly Art precision glue.  At the top of the tags are Pink Midnight Trendy Page Dots and a bow of either Pink Licorice Trendy Twine or Totally Pink Trendy Twine.  The finishing touches were Raspberry Cupcake sequins.

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

Trendy Bakers Twine -- Ready for Spring!

Hello everyone! I'm Helen from HTB Creations.  I'm showing you some cards I made a few weeks ago and haven't posted.  I used Totally White Trendy Twine on one and Limeade Trendy Twine on the other. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for some pretty weather!  These cards make me think of the nice days that Spring can have and I'm dreaming of 😊

On this card I used the Unity Stamp Wreath Builder set and kept it simple.  Since you need a square piece of cardstock, I knew my Totally White Trendy Twine would be perfect for the bottom part of the card with a bow in the middle.

This card used Limeade Trendy Twine and Lemon Tart Sequins.  I love the yellow and green together and this paper had both.  So I used my Limeade Trendy Twine on the curve of the card stock and my Lemon Tart Sequins as accents.

Trendy Bakers Twine -- Bewitched Halloween

Hello everyone!  I'm Helen from HTB Creations and  I'm sharing a bewitching Halloween card with you. I used the fabulous Gray Licorice Trendy Twine on it and some black sequins from the Grape Licorice Batty Sequins Mix.

 

I made this card way back in September because we moved October 5th.  And my room is still not unpacked so it was a good idea to have this ready LOL! (I did find my box of Trendy Twine though!)  The paper came from a Halloween stack and the spiders, tomb and stamp are from My Creative Time. I did add clear Wink of Stella to the spiders.

I carefully glued my Gray Licorice Trendy Twine around my tomb and added a bow.  I wanted to add the twine to the part of the web the spider is hanging from too, but it was too small and was not working for me. Then I added some black sequins from the Grape Licorice Batty Sequins to the middles of some of the webs.  

There are  more fun projects to come this month so keep checking back!
