Guest Designing for Trendy Twine Part 2

Hello lovelies :)

it's Christine again.

As I told you in Friday's post I was invited by Trendy Twine to be guesting for them. Here's part two of my little feature :)

One pretty obvious way to use twine is to hang something to it. So I decided to make some kind of garlands in a sky and hang some hearts and a birdhouse to them. 

Light blue and red are such a fab combo and the wood-like chipboards add some nice neutrals (I painted one in red to see how it works, but that was just too much red. 

• Cut a panel of patterned paper in a light blue (I used the Feel Good Paper Pack)
• Add some coulds with our two step "Clouds" stencils (I inked the first layer with white pigment ink and added some embossing paste for the second, patterned layer)
• add the Cranberry Twine with Matte Medium
• Adhere some Chipboards hearts
• stamp, color and fuzzy cut the birdhouse from "your view" and attach it to one of the strings
• Stamp the sentiment
• Maybe add some wink of Stella to the clouds (I just couldn't resist ;) )

• Sometimes having a simple color scheme makes the card look more clean and uncluttered.
• I think it pulls the card together if one color is the main color and the other one is just used to add some pops. That creates a nice balance.

Guest Designing for Trendy Twine

Hi everyone,

this is Christine :)
I am honored to be Guest Designing over at our friends from Trendy Twine today. I've been using Trendy Twine for quite a while because I loooove the quality and the colors (multicolored bakers twine - give me some more!) and fortunately Lesley Ann, the super sweet owner, liked my projects - so I got an invitation to be their guest - yay!

It's pretty simple: i wanted to show that the combo of Trendy Twine and Create A Smile products can be used for both: Fun and elegant cards. So I made two very different, yet simple cards :)


These are the two cards that I created:

1) Fun and cute:

2) Classy and elegant

Here's a close up so you can see the twine a little better:

 

• use your trendy twine to put it on tags, add a backdrop underneath your focal point or to add some interest to a die cut pattern. Make it bold or go subtile :)
• I think all the other steps are quite obvious: Stamp your image, color it, fuzzy cut it and assemble the cards ;)
