Deck the Halls with Annie's Paper Boutique

Hello Trendy Twine Fans! Today on the Trendy Twine blog we are super excited to jump start the Christmas season with a group post featuring Christmas ornaments. Now is the time to get started on those fun seasonal projects that you may not have time to complete later on in the season. Not only would these ornaments would be beautiful gracing your own home but they would make fantastic handmade gifts. Now here is the project I made to share with you today:

Items I used:

Annie's Paper Boutique Merry Christmas Stamp Set

Candy Cane Trendy Twine

Delightful Sequins

MFT Stamps Elegant Stitched STAX Die-namics

Gold Embossing Powder

To make the ornament, I cut two of the dies out together to make the top thin layer and then I cut out the larger size by itself to make the back layer and I cut out the acetate as well to glue to the thin top layer. I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed it with gold, then carefully places the sequins and used foam tape to adhere it together.

I finished it off by adding my Candy Cane Twine to the top and added a bow with a tiny gold bell to the top.  It was so fun to make!

Growing in Unity Day 5

Hello! This week, I'm Growing in Unity and posting every day this week. I am thrilled to have this opportunity as Unity is such a wonderful company!!

 Sadly this is my last day.  This may be my favorite card this week.  I used Thanks so Mush. Along with gnomes, I am loving mushrooms lately.  When I saw this set with the cute mushroom houses, I had to have it.

I decided to go with a slimline card for this stamp. There was a lot of coloring but it's good practice for me. I stayed with earth tones for this card.  For the sentiment, I die cut a banner to stamp it on.  And then I finished it off with some more enamel dots -- those are a favorite embellishment for me.

Growing in Unity Day 4

Hello! This week, I'm Growing in Unity and posting every day this week. I am thrilled to have this opportunity as Unity is such a wonderful company!!

 Today is day four and I have a card using A Daisy and a Lady. This was just a cute stamp set with that ladybug so I'm glad I got this set.

There was not a lot of coloring for this card. I used my Copics to add yellow to the center and red for the ladybug. Pretty easy. I stamped the sentiment onto a small die cut and used foam tape to pop that up with a bit of red hemp twine behind it since the daisy stamp is larger. Then I just added some enamel dots to finish it off.

Growing in Unity Day 3

Hello! This week, I'm Growing in Unity and posting every day this week. I am thrilled to have this opportunity as Unity is such a wonderful company!!

 Today is day three and I have a card using Life's a party Gnome. I love gnomes and have pretty much collected all the ones Unity sells. 

To create this card I stamped the cute gnome and sentiment from the set onto the card base. I colored him in and then I decided I wanted to speckle some ink dots on the base.  That's how it seems to work with me LOL.  I used the backing from the stamps to cover them up and added some blue flecks of watercolor to it. Lastly, I added foam tape and some fun clear bubble dots to the card.

Growing in Unity Day 2

Hello! This week, I'm Growing in Unity and posting every day this week. I am thrilled to have this opportunity as Unity is such a wonderful company!!

 Today is day two and I have a card using Well, Hello. This is an Itty Bitty stamp set that I got for free on my last order. On this card, I actually used the Pink Lemonade paper pack, Unity Enamel Dots - Spring Sparkle, and Pink May Arts Burlap String, all which Unity sells!

I stamped the cute flower and sentiment onto my card mat that I had die cut out. Next, I colored in with my Copic markers and added some Clear Wink of Stella sparkle to the middle of the flowers. Then I added some of the enamel dots to the card base and used foam tape to add it to my base with some burlap string peeking out.

Growing in Unity Day 1

Hello! This week, I'm Growing in Unity and posting every day this week. I am thrilled to have this opportunity as Unity is such a wonderful company!!

 Today is day one and I have a card using Happy World. This is a special set that you get with a $5 donation to Ukraine. I had wanted a set I could make blue/yellow cards with and this one is so fun and goes to a good cause.

I stamped the flowers and the sentiment and colored in with my Copic Markers.  Then I decided to stamp a fun of the cute bees on the card.  I used glossy accents on the wings. The sequins were a special mix I found that the proceeds went to Ukraine.

To finish it off, I used foam tape and added some jute twine to the back peeking out.
