Trendy Bakers Twine - Rock this Day!

Hi There!

I am over on the Trendy Blog sharing this fun card made with the spotlight of the month,  Aqua Licorice Trendy Twine

While creating this little beauty, I had one goal in mind, to design a card that would bring joy to a special person's heart. The Aqua Licorice Trendy Twine was my inspiration, and I couldn't be more excited about the result.


To create the perfect backdrop for my project, I began by carefully selecting a combination of aqua, black, and white papers. I wanted to put a new twist on a different technique. I mapped out a design of where I wanted the Aqua Licorice Trendy Twine to flow effortlessly. This step allowed me to visualize the final result. With my design in mind, I allowed the twine to gracefully flow in a diagonal line along the card's length. The result was nothing short of spectacular. Once I achieved the desired design, I carefully applied a touch of glue to ensure that the twine remained in place, giving the card a polished and professional finish.

To infuse a sense of wonder and excitement into the card, I introduced die-cut stars. These stars were matted together, creating a sense of depth and dimension. 


To break up the bold houndstooth patterned paper, I added aqua card stock. This not only provided a striking contrast but also accentuated the vibrant aqua color of the twine. No card is complete without the perfect message. I carefully selected a sentiment from the "Choose Happy" stamp set and stamped it onto the aqua card stock. This final touch added a personal and uplifting note to the card, ensuring that it carried a message of joy and positivity.



This project showcased how Aqua Licorice Trendy Twine can transform a simple card into a work of happiness for someone special. I hope this project inspires you to embrace new techniques and colors in your crafting endeavors.

Stay trendy, stay creative, and keep spreading joy with your handmade creations! You can see all the products I've used to create this card over on the Trendy Blog!

Trendy Bakers Twine - Happy Fall

Hi There!

I'm over on the Trendy Blog to share a creative idea to use the spotlight twine Aqua Midnight Trendy Twine. It's a shade that exudes both elegance and vibrancy, making it perfect for all kinds of crafting projects. 

For this project, I'm starting with a simple yet stylish base: Black Chevron Bags. These bags offer a sophisticated backdrop that makes the Aqua Midnight Trendy Twine and fall-themed tag really pop.

I wanted a fall-themed tag that would complement the Aqua Midnight Trendy Twine and the Black Chevron Bags. So, I decided to create my own using free pumpkin graphics and some carefully selected fonts. 

I began by finding pumpkin graphics online and came across an aqua blue pumpkin and quickly realized this graphic captured the essence of fall and added a touch of rustic charm I was looking for. You can easily find free graphics on various design resource websites.

On the tag, I added the "Happy Fall" and once the design was complete, I printed it out on high-quality white card stock. I used a paper cutter to trim the tags to the desired size and adhered to the White Tag-it. 

To add that extra special touch, I threaded a length of Aqua Midnight Trendy Twine through the hole and tied it around the bag. The aqua color beautifully contrasted with the black chevron pattern, creating an eye-catching effect.

And there you have it—a delightful fall treat presentation that's sure to impress. Aqua Midnight Trendy Twine brings a touch of sophistication and fun to your crafting projects, and paired with the Black Chevron Bags and charming fall tags, you have a winning combination.

We hope this project inspires you to get creative and explore the endless possibilities of paper crafting. Whether it's for a special occasion or just to add a bit of joy to your day, we're here to help you make every project a masterpiece.
