{Trendy Twine} Wishing you a Beautiful Day Card and Gift Box

Hello Friends,

{I am honored that this was selected as The Winner over at Scrapbook Blessings Club on 10/7/14 Thank you so much}

I am over on the Trendy Twine Blog today sharing a card and gift box featuring Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine. You can find it now on sale. 

I started with a blush pink card base adding a mix of patterned paper joined by an embossed layer of brown kraft cardstock. I added part of a doily peeking out from underneath ruffled dictionary pages.  Next I took some yummy Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine and wrapped it muliple times around the card front adding a seam binding bow embellished with a brown button laced with Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine.  Lastly, I added a die-cut and sentiment to finish the card. 

I just love the cute little mini boxes!  I used the 2x2x2 Kraft Box and you can find these in packs of 10 at Annie's Paper Boutique.  I dressed up the box by wrapping more of the yummy Chocolate Cupcake Trendy Twine around the box and tie in a bow. The rest was dressing up the bow with some trimmings I had in my personal stash. 

Hope you enjoyed my project! Don't forget to check out The Twine It Up! with Trendy Twine Facebook Page!  

I would also like to share at Scrapbook Blessings Club - Anything Goes.

I hope you have a wonderful crafty day!

Hi!

I have a birthday card to share today where I created a border using the emboss resist technique.

I pulled out my Versamark ink pad and my jar of Stamp-n-stuff clear embossing powder. I stamped each side of the panel with a border stamp from Wplus9 in Versamark and liberally poured the clear embossing powder over the stamped border image followed by heat setting.  

I then took a foam sponge and ran Tumbled Glass distress ink over the embossed image.  The border on the top shows it (although hard to see in this picture with a light color) and the bottom shows the embossed image still clear.  This gives your embossed resist image dimension. 

I wanted this very subtle and to fade into the white center focal area. I created a sentiment using a matching die sentiment set from My Favorite Things. I die cut the butterfly 6 times mounting three each for the two butterfly images. I punched a smaller butterfly in a soft lavender color next adding one each to the stacked butterflies and finishing off with rhinestones completing by binding their wings upward. 

I created this card using the colors from The Play Date Cafe.

Well, that's it for me today! Thanks for stopping by.

I came across another new challenge to me at a site called Caardvarks. Their latest challenge is sponsored by My Favorite Things.  The theme is to create a new birthday card. 

I paper pieced the cup cake from the My Favorite Things Cupcake Kind of Day stamp set and foam mounted it on the square base. My sentiment is from Gina K Designs Tag Lines. 

I was able to incorporate the color scheme from the Off The Wall Craftiness Color Challenge using the tangerine, teal, and white! It has really be fun playing with these colors!

Warm Aloha!
