Merry Christmas featuring Trendy Twine

Merry Christmas!!!
I hope you are having a wonderful day

with your loved ones and friends!

Today the Trendy Twine Design Team

is sharing some Christmas cards and projects.

For my projects, I decided to do some gifts for the Holidays.

The first project is a 3-2-1 Mug chocolate cake recipe.

I used a mason jar I purchased in the seasonal section at Target for the cake mixes then I added some Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine to the jar with a tag that is heat embossed in silver with the "Holiday Deliciousness" sentiment from This is December #2 stamp set.

I added a die cut snowflake and heart to the tag.

I finished the tag by adding the directions to the top of the lid and some Tinsel wired ribbon to the rim with a wooden scoop for easy measuring, this perfectly scoops out 1 TBSP. for the recipe!

A simple but fun treat to give for the Holidays.

To the top of the jar, I added the instructions and also stamped the cute mugs from the NEED Coffee stamp set in blue.

The next project our daughter made to give to her friends.

We used some clear plastic ornaments that you can add food to from the craft store.

She filled these with hot cocoa mix, sprinkles,

chocolate chips, and marshmallows.

Next, she decorated them with some Candy Cane Trendy Twine and added some small jingle bells. She also used some Totally Red Trendy Twine for the ornament hanger.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

I hope you are enjoying your day.

Make sure to see all the projects the Trendy Twine Design Team has created for this Christmas.

Have a wonderful day!

Winter inspired thank you cards featuring Pink and Main

Hi Everyone!

Today I am sharing a project featuring

Pink and Main stamps.

I made some winter inspired Thank you cards.
First I die cut the "Thanks" sentiment out of glitter paper and the shadow with vellum. Next, I die cut several snowflakes for a tone on tone background. Then I adhered everything to the card base. This is definitely the time of year for lots of Thank you cards and these are pretty and perfect for that.

Santa Kisses featuring Trendy Twine and APB stamps

Hi Everyone!

using APB stamps and Trendy Twine.

For my treat bag, I used the Biggie Glassine Envelopes for the bag. I added some hershey kisses to the bag and wrapped some Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine around the bag.

Happy H-OWLidays!! featuring Pink and Main stamps

Hi Everyone!

Today I am sharing a project featuring

Pink and Main stamps.

For my card today I made a tent topper card, my first one, inspired by my crafty bestie Stacey. She makes them and they look so fun and amazing.
I started out by die cutting a scalloped square die cut card base. Then added some red and white layers to the card base. I stamped, copic colored and die cut the owl/wreath and bows from the Happy H-OWLidays stamp set and coordinating dies. I added the wreath to the top of the card. Then I heat embossed the sentiment from the set in white on a die cut banner and added some bows.
I finished the card with some gems and pearls to the wreath and card corners. Then some glitter to the bows and glossy accents to the owl's beak and feet.

Love Santa treat bag featuring APB/Trendy Twine

Hi Everyone!!

I hope you are doing great and in
the full swing of the Holiday season!

Today I am sharing a project featuring Trendy Twine
and Annie's Paper Boutique products.

This month the design team is featuring
the cotton 4x6 Muslin bags.

I took the string that comes with the bag for the top, out and added the Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine to it instead for the closure. Then I made coordinating tags in baby blue and red card stock.

The bottom tag is embossed with a snowflake swirls embossing folder and some glitter stickles is added for accent. The top tag is stamped with a sentiment from the Hello Santa stamp set in white and heat embossed. Then I added some punched glitter snowflakes and hearts to the tag.

The bottom of the bag is stamped in blue with snowflakes and some red hearts. This material was really easy to stamp on and the images remained true.

Elf Tag card featuring Pink and Main stamps

Hi Everyone!
I hope you are having an amazing week and staying warm or for some of you, cool. :)

Today I am sharing a project featuring

Pink and Main stamps.

Recently, I saw a cute card sketch with a tag as the main feature so I wanted to recreate that. I used the cute elf in the gift from the set and stamped a background on the red card stock for a tone-on-tone effect. Then I added some shimmer to those elves and adhered it to a white card base. Then I worked on the tag, I stamped and colored the cute elf then used the new coordinating dies and added it to the die cut tag. I stamped the sentiment from the set to the top of the tag. Then I die cut another tag with some fun striped paper and added a holly and berries to the corner. I finished the tag with some Twine and popped it up on the card. Finally, I finished the card with some shimmer and glitter, of course!!

PM DEC Challenge- Center step kitty card

Hi Everyone!!

Time for a new Pink and Main Challenge!

This month's challenge is Not So Traditional Holiday.

I love using purples, blues and silver together, so pretty and I thought it would perfect for a Non-Traditional Christmas center step card. I used the Santa Paws stamp set and hOWLidays stamp set with the coordinating dies. The banner on the center section is from the Stitched Greeting stamp set and cut out. The cute kitty is mounted on a die cut from the Nested Hexagon and Scalloped Hexagon dies.

A Hello from Him and Her featuring Pink and Main

Hi Everyone!
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of turkey,
pie and lots of love!

Today I am sharing a project featuring
Pink and Main stamps.
I used the newly released Picture Perfect stamp set and coordinating dies, Mini Faces Set 2 and 3, Stitched Squares and Stitched Ovals.

I created two cards with each image, a boy and girl card, I made them after our son and daughter. I thought these would be fun for them to send out, maybe to their Grandma in California.

For the girl, I stamped and colored her with copic markers and die cut her with the coordinating dies. Next I die cut and embossed some pink patterned paper with the Stitched Oval dies and layered this on some coordinating patterned paper all added to a matching pool party card base. I added the sentiment to the girl's frame with black ink and some clear embossing powder. To finish the card, I added some rhinestones and a white bow.

For the boy, I stamped and colored him with copic markers as well, then die cut him with the coordinating dies. I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the hair again. I wanted the glasses to be behind his hair. So that's how I achieved that look. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Hello Friend to his frame. Next, I die cut a white piece of card stock with the Stitched Rectangles die and then die cut a square out of that with the Stitched Squares die to look like a polaroid frame for him to sit behind on the card. I added some navy patterned paper to the card front then added my layers. The boy is popped up with one layer of dimensional foam tape and the frame has two layers. To finish the card and the sentiment, I die cut the Hello from the Hello dies in kraft card stock. I also added some glossy accents to his glasses.

Birthday Celebration for Janice

Hi Everyone!!

Today we are helping Lesley, the owner of Trendy Twine and Annie's Paper Boutique celebrate her mom, Janice's Birthday! The Trendy Twine Design Team and Guest designers have created cards using Trendy Twine to send to her for her special day!

Here is the card I created for Janice.

I made a floral shaker card for her. The flowers are from the Peonies stamp set by Avery Elle, I heat embossed the flowers and leave in white and fussy cut them out. Next, I heat embossed the vase in silver on a die cut circle and cut out the inside using my Penblade, then added some acetate to create the window for the shaker portion. I added some sequins and seed beads to the vase to look like water. Then I added some pool party cardstock to the background of the vase. I added the vase and flowers to a white card base that is layered with yellow patterned paper and vellum with hearts. I heat embossed in Gold the "Smile" sentiment from the Smile Stamp set (APB) on the vellum. Finally, I wrapped some Totally White Trendy Twine with a bow and some sparkling clear sequins to accent.

For the inside of the card, I added another peony in yellow and heat embossed the sentiment, again from the Smile stamp set (APB) in gold on a rectangle die cut panel.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Let's Hang Out!

Hi Everyone!!

I hope your week has been great, it's been busy around here and we had our first snow fall yesterday.

Today, I am sharing a few cards using the *Newly* released Sloths stamps and coordinating dies from Pink and Main stamps.

I kept the cards with a clean and simple design. Perfect to give to anyone and let the fun and sweet sloths be the star. First, I stamped and copic colored the sloths. Next, I used the coordinating dies, then I took (2) white panels of card stock cut 4.25 x 5.5 and embossed them. Then I stamped and heat embossed the sentiments in white on black cardstock. I adhered the layers to a white card base then popped up the cute sloths.

Here is the card I made for her.

Happy Birthday Lesley!!

I used the Smile stamp set (APB) for the sentiment in the shaker balloon and on the grass, I stamped them and heat embossed in clear. I made the shaker balloon the cute girl from Lila's Heart stamp set (SSS) is holding by die cutting a heart in the panel and adding some acetate for the window.
