Planner Friday - April

Hi! Welcome to another Planner Friday! I'm Amanda from She's Eclectic and I am here again to share with you how I use Annie's Paper Boutique products to help keep me organised.  

I have always loved using a planner, over the years I have tried lots of different types and styles before I finally settled into my planning rhythm and found my groove. I found that sometimes I got bored with regular diaries and organisers which meant I didn't use them every day but then I stumbled up on the planner community and saw people who decorated their pages and made them fun too. I started off with a couple of rolls of washi tape and some pretty stickers and I have been decorating my planner pages ever since! 

Products used: At Home Stamp Set

Weekend Banner Stamp Set

Check It Off Stamp Set

School Days Stamp Set

Trendy Page Dots - circle reinforcements

Clear Stamp Block with guide lines

Rose Bud & Turquoise Ink

I really enjoy using stamps in my organiser, I like how they look and they make my to do lists and reminders easy to read. Using stamps also saves me time, I used to hate having to write the same reminders in my organiser each week but now I can just stamp them in quickly and it is done! 

As well as the practical stamps I use each week (At Home, School Days and Check It Off sets) I like to use some fun stamps too. I think the Weekend Banner is great for highlighting my weekend and I love bunting, it always looks so celebratory and makes me feel happy. 

Because I decorate my planner I find I check my pages more often than I did before and this helps me stay on top of things.  I have my reminders and to do's split into daily, manageable lists and breaking everything down into steps makes them easier for me to complete. I also enjoy checking things off when they are done with a little flourish, it is very satisfying!

My week so far

I you want to check out the whole range of Planner Stamps from Annie's Paper Boutique you can find them all here.  I am sure you will find the perfect set for you!

I hope I will see you again next month for another Planner Friday!

Trendy Twine - Welcome Spring!

Good day to all my bloggy friends!

It's Millie, from Crafting with Creative M with a super fun project with this month's feature "Grape Fizz Trendy Twine".

Here is what I created.....

A Spring themed layout!!

 I started with a pretty & colorful 12x12 page that I found in between my paper stash. How lucky was I! It went perfect with my Spring theme.

I also used Bazzill Basics dotted swiss card stock for some texture. 

The die cut banner is from the Straight from the Nest cartridge.
The "welcome" title on the pretty banner is from the Songbird cartridge.

I used the Grape Fizz Trendy Twine on my banner and bows.
To each bow I added strips of the Grape Fizz twine and adhered die cut butterflies (DS) to the ends. Next, I added white pearls to the center of each bow.

  The "Spring!" title was popped up on foam dots for some dimension.
I placed purple glitter enamel stickers on each dot for some sparkle.
I wrapped the Grape Fizz twine around the corners of the ruffle square borders which is from the Celebrations cartridge and added tiny white pearls.
I duplicated the grass die cut (DS) and adhered them using foam tape for dimension.
isn't it adorable?


I added pretty Grape Fizz bows to the tall birdcage from the Songbird cartridge and pearls. I wrapped the middle portion of my pretty butterflies with the Grape Fizz twine.

Here is a closer look at the Grape Fizz Trendy Twine:

Trendy Twine -- Fly!

Hello everyone!  I'm Helen from HTB Creations.  Today I'm showing you a shaker butterfly card.    I used the Grape Fizz Trendy Twine along with the new Grape Fizz Sequin Mix.  I just love sequins and could not be happier that they are now in the store :)

I decided to try out making two shaker windows in the card. The plan was to used the purple polka dot paper on top, but that was too much purple with the butterflies.  I pulled out white paper, but that was to plain. So I took a purple distress ink pad and used it as watercolor.  I just swished it on the card stock making brush strokes.  

I used my Grape Fizz Trendy Twine to cover the circle openings and to cover the 'trail' that I stamped. Then I added some more Grape Fizz Sequins on the card too.  The sentiment is embossed at the bottom.

Be sure to head over to Annie's Paper Boutique to get these fun sequins and fabulous twine!  There are lots of goodies to craft with over there  :)

Have a great day!

Trendy Twine- A Ducky Spring Smile

Hi Everyone!

Kimberly from Kimberly's Crafty Spot here today to share a project.

I made a fun ducky clear treat box.

These clear boxes are just so fun to decorate and give as a gift.

I used one of the Clear Chocolate boxes, I added some iridescent gift grass and chocolate candy.

I added some Grape Fizz Trendy Twine on the outside  and added a cute tag with a Duck Doll image from Peachy Keen stamps. I colored the duck with copic markers, fussy cut it out and popped it up on the die cut tag. The sentiment is from Small Talk (My Creative Time) stamped in purple inks.

Trendy Twine~Spring Gift

Good morning my crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today. This month, we are spotlighting the GORGEOUS Grape Fizz Trendy Twine.

I created this sweet gift using a Medium Candy Bag.  It fit a half sheet of Jamberry nail wraps for a gift perfectly!  For the topper, I used DCWV's Bouquet De Fleur paper stack and made a multi-layer flower.  I used loops of the Grape Fizz Trendy Twine on the layers of the flower.  For the center of the flower, I added a button and wound Lemon Tart Trendy Twine on it.

Trendy Twine -- Flower Pillow Boxes

Hello everyone!  I'm Helen from HTB Creations.  This month, we are featuring the wonderful Grape Fizz Trendy Twine.  I think I say this a lot, but this is one of my favorites ;)

I decided to use the the Clear Small Pillow Boxes for my project today.  I filled them with some Hershey Kisses.  Then I wrapped my Grape Fizz Trendy Twine around the long side of the box and tied a bow off to the side.  

 

To decorate it, I used a flower die that I cut out on both sides of a 2-sided pattern paper.  Then I used a normal pop dot and made my flower center by swirling the twine right on top, down the sides and tucked it under the bottom so it would stick.  I think it looks fun :)

I hope you head over to Annie's Paper Boutique to pick up this fun Grape Fizz Trendy Twine on sale.  While you are there, be sure to check out all the fun goodies in the store.  There are even Grape Fizz Sequins to match this twine!!
