Winter Wonderland

Welcome back, everyone! Today is my last day guest designing over on the Twine It Up Blog. Since we are heading into the holiday season I want to share a holiday/seasonal card. I'm using the Let It Snow Stamp Set along with Trendy Twine in the color Gray Licorice. 

This month has been a blast on the Twine It Up Blog and I found myself reaching for products that I rarely use. I should use them but we sometimes find ourselves getting comfortable in our ways, even crafting. As I sit here writing this post what I want more than anything is to be in my craft room with a few stencils and shimmer paste. I love that stuff. 

To my surprise, I don't own a snowflake stencil, wha?! Okay, grab a stencil that looks like falling snow. YES! I have one of those. And that's how this whole card started. It's super easy to do. 

Using a heavyweight coverstock, you know that #110 stuff, add shimmer paste over a stencil and pretend your icing a cake. Hey, it's what I do.  Set the card panel aside to dry and clean up stencil and spatula. Die-cut or stamp a snowman, put the snowman together or color if you stamped. Using patterned paper and the Let It Snow Stamp Set stamp sentiment using black ink, cut at an angle the patterned paper and a scrap piece of paper, want the angles to be exact? Cut the patterned paper and scrap on the angle together, then cut the length on the opposite ends. Use the scrap piece of paper to wrap twine around. Adhere patterned paper right below twine, add snowman with 3D mounting foam, finish the snowman off with enamel dots. Add 3D mounting foam to the back of the stenciled card panel adhere to a 4.25" x 5.5" top-fold card base. Add patterned paper/snowman to the bottom of card panel using 3D mounting foam.

Trendy Baker's Twine - Hand Over the Candy

Hello and welcome back, everyone! 

Today I'm over on the Twine It Up Blog as the guest designer for the month of October. I'm so honored and super excited to have this opportunity. 

This month's featured products are

  Gray Licorice Trendy Twine and Skinny Candy Chutes.

I'm sharing a sweet treat and card combo. 

To create the sweet treat you will need a Skinny Candy Chute, painter's tape or washi tape, inexpensive paint brush, and orange, yellow and white chalk paint. 

Using tape, tape off 5 sections to be painted. Starting with orange chalk paint, paint the bottom section completely, paint half of the fourth section with orange, too. Blend yellow chalk paint into orange (fourth section) while the paint is still wet. Paint the third section yellow and half of the second section yellow. Finish off with white chalk paint blending white with yellow in the second section and completely paint the first section white. Let dry. Fill with candy corn. 

To create the card I used pattern paper from my stash with coordinating stickers, Gray Licorice Trendy Twine and Annie's Paper Boutique Happy Halloween Stamp Set.

I created the sentiment background paper simply by repeat stamping the sentiment in orange and yellow ink and stamped the "trick or treat" sentiment over it using black ink. All the sentiments are from the Happy Halloween Stamp Set. Set to the side. Mat a 4.25"x5.5" top-fold card with pattern paper, layer the stamped background paper using fun or 3D mounting foam. Using an edge die-cut cut a piece of pattern paper and adhere to the left side of the card. Add stickers using 3D mounting foam, adhere clear sequins and embellish with Gray Licorice Trendy Twine. Stamp Happy Halloween inside the card.
