Trendy Baker's Twine - Boo!

Hello and welcome back, everyone! 

Today I'm over on the Twine It Up Blog sharing a few ghostly cards! 

Today I'm sharing cards featuring the Happy Halloween Stamp Set and one of this month's feature products, Gray Licorice Trendy Twine. 

I'm sure we all find ourselves needing a quick card? I love sentiment stamps because you can create a quick background with very little effort and produce adorable cards. 

To create the cards above I stamped "BOO" along the bottom half of a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of cardstock, decided on the position of the cardstock and then cut it, the top half of the cardstock is cut down to fit the front of our card allowing for a reveal between the top and bottom pieces. Wrap Gray Licorice Trendy Twine around your card base where you plan on placing the reveal and stamp the sentiment across the trendy twine with white ink. It's transparent giving a ghostly effect. I decided to add a little interest by dry embossing cobwebs using my BigKick and scored a line between the cobwebs and BOO sentiment. Add 3D mounting foam to the back of the two pieces of cardstock and adhere to a 4.25" x 5.5" top-fold card base. I finished off the cards by including a die-cut ghost and a few clear iridescent sequins. 

For the second card, I used the same process and stamped Hello Boo-tiful alternating Distress Oxide Inks - Carved Pumpkin, Twisted Citron and Wilted Violet.

Trendy Baker's Twine - Have a FANG-tastic Day!

Hello and welcome, everyone!

Today I'm over on the Twine It Up Blog sharing a fun way to send our crafty friends a few goodies for Halloween. Of course, this would easily translate to any holiday or celebration. 

The Treat Packets make quick work of this project and here's a fun tip: treat packets emboss beautifully! I laid each treat packet flat in an embossing folder and ran it through my BigKick. I die-cut two banners and stamped the sentiment, Have a FANG-tastic Day, from the Happy Halloween Stamp Set using black ink. I cut two bats using my Silhouette, added googly eyes, and just cut white fangs from scrap paper. I added Gray Licorice Trendy Twine to one of the bat's wings. Add a piece of 3D mounting foam to the back of each bat and adhere the die-cut sentiment banner, set aside. 

The treat packets come with small clear baggies that are perfect for adding a small candy bar or candy corn. I removed the packaging and staple from the Grape Licorice Batty Sequins and Orange Licorice Batty Sequins. The sequins come in the same small baggie that comes with the treat packets. I added the small paper spool of Trendy Twine in with the coordinating sequins and sealed it back up. Once you have the sequins, trendy twine and candy packaged place the baggies inside the treat packets to align, punch two holes through the treat packets and baggies, making sure to punch the holes above the seal on the baggies. Tie the treat packets closed with Gray Licorice Trendy Twine and adhere the bats with the attached sentiment.
