Trendy Bakers Twine -- Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Today the Trendy Twine design team members are sharing Christmas projects over on the Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine blog. Make sure to  hope over there to see them all!  For my card today I used Totally Red Trendy Twine and Peppermint Stick Sequins.


This card is the same style as one I posted on Tuesday.  They are both patterned after my Christmas cards this year.  It's been a crazy few months and I needed simple this year.

I glued my Totally Red Trendy Twine around the die cut and added a bow. Then I embellished with the Peppermint Stick Sequins.  I just love gnomes so was happy to used them this year :)

I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!

Trendy Bakers Twine -- Autumn Blessings

Hello everyone! I'm posting over at Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine. Today I have a fall card to share with you using Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine along with some Autumn Sequins.


I found this image in Cricut Design Space as a print then cut. It was really my third image as my machine did not like the first two.  It would have been more of a Thanksgiving card had I got one of the others to work LOL. I put foam tape on the die cut and added it to my white layer that I glued my Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine on to.

To tie it all together, I found this paper that matched the leaves pretty well from a DCWV stack. I stamped the sentiment in brown ink and added some of the fun Autumn Sequins to the card along with a Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine bow to the bunch of leaves.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving however you are spending it. Ours does look different this year just as the whole year has.

Trendy Bakers Twine -- Fall Leaf Bag

 Hello everyone! I'm posting over at Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine today and I'm sharing a treat bag with you using Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine and the Kraft Tin Tie Bag.  


First, I decorated my Kraft Tin Tie Bag while it was flat. This is perfect to do that. I used some fall leaves I cut out with my Cricut on glitter cardstock.  I also die cut some fall paper with a banner die and staggered them on the side.

Next, I filled my bag with some candy, but they would be perfect for baked goods like homemade cookies. I then used my Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine to loop around the top a few times and tie off with a bow.

Pretty simple but I like how it turned out.

Have a great day!

My Trendy Twine color is Grape Licorice and we are all using the Clear Mini Take Out Boxes. In addition, I used the Happy Halloween Stamp Set, Grape Tag-Its, Grape Licorice Batty Sequins and Trendy Page Dots.


I filled my boxes with 5 mini Peppermint Patties.  They were a perfect fit for the Clear Mini Take Out Boxes and I they were purple wrapped to match my twine. Next I made a band around the box.  It's not perfect in the back, but I made it work 😉


Next, I trimmed down my Grape Tag-Its a bit and stamped and embossed my sentiment from the Happy Halloween Stamp Set on it.  Then I added my Trendy Page Dots and the Grape Licorice Batty Sequins.  Finally, I made a Grape Licorice Trendy Twine tail for the tag.

Growing in Unity Day 5 -- Happy Halloween!

Hello everyone!  Today is my last day for Growing in Unity with Unity Stamp Company.  It's been a super fun week and I'm so glad I have been able to share these cards with you! Today I used the Little Boos set and made a slimline card!


I am loving the slimline cards and have made just a few. I thought this set was perfect for a slimline card so that I didn't have to cram the stamps in.  There's not a lot of coloring to this card but it turned out cute I think..

The base just needed a bit more, so I used some Orange Licorice Trendy Twine and Orange Licorice Batty Sequins. The slimline dies are from Lawn Fawn. And I did use foam tape for the top layer. This is just a super fun stamp set!

Don't forget to leave your comments for your chance to win a Unity Grab Bag! 


Thanks so much for visiting me this week!!
Have a great day!

Growing in Unity Day 4 -- Love & Hugs

Hello!  Today is Day 4 of my Growing in Unity week with Unity Stamp Company.  Today I used two sets called Koala-ty Friend and Say It with Love. I didn't want a puny sentiment this go around but I do love to use them.  


I stamped and colored in these cute hugging koalas and decided to fussy cut it out.  Then I used the Say It with Love sentiment and hearts as well.  I did stamp out the hearts and cut them out as well for my 'embellishments'. Then I added Clear Wink of Stella to the hearts and a bit to the ears of the koalas.

This was an easy card to put together once I figured out how I wanted it to look.

Growing in Unity Day 3 -- Wish Upon a Star

Hello!  Today is Day 3 of my Growing in Unity Week for Unity Stamp Company. Today I also used a stamp set that I have not before, The Owl & The Moon. I love owls and I own a lot of Unity Owls so it was clear when this released that I had to own it LOL!


I stamped the image and sentiment on my card stock and colored it in with Copic Markers.  I added some white gel pen accents to the moon and then some Clear Wink of Stellar around it and in the star hanging from the moon.  

Then I found some star paper for the background and used foam tape to put the top layer on the card.  To finish it off, I added some gold star stick on gems.

Growing in Unity Day 2 -- Hi There

Hello! I'm here with Day 2 of my Growing in Unity Week for Unity Stamp Company.  Today I am using a stamp set that I hadn't used before this.  It's called Salutation Toad.  I just thought he was to cute and I love the sentiments in it.


This is a perfect card to send to someone since we all are not seeing too many people these days.  I stamped my cutie frog and the sentiment.  Then I used my Copic markers to color him in.  I then added some white gel pen accents and Glossy Accents to the eyes. 

I picked out some green and gray paper to go with my coloring and then added some of both colored enameled dots to finish it off.

Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance at a 25 piece grab bag of Unity Stamps!  And check back the rest of the week for more chances.

Growing In Unity Day 1 -- Wish

Hello everyone!  I am the Growing in Unity Girl for this week for Unity Stamp Company.  This is such a fun week where I will post a project each day this week using my Unity Stamps.  If you leave comments, you will be entered be 1 of 2 people chosen for a grab bag of 25 Unity Stamps!

I've used this week to mostly use Unity Stamps that I haven't used yet.  I have a pretty good collection LOL! Today's stamp I think I did use once but I just love it so used it again. This card was made using Hang in There Lady


I love polka dots so found some red polka dot paper to use as my background.  I then stamped my lady bug and sentiment on the white layer and used an edge die from MFT on the side. This was easy to color and I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the wishing flower.  To finish it off, I grabbed some red heart enamel shapes to the card to match the hearts in the stamp by the ladybug.

I hope you keep checking back this whole week as I have more fun cards lined up to show you!



Have a great day!
