The Twinery Blog Swap Week - Day 4! More Holiday Fun with Biker Chick Vicki Boutin!

 

 

Hi everyone! Hard to believe it's already Day 4 of our Blog Swap week with the talented team over at The Twinery.  I don't know about you but I'm hoping for rain this weekend so I can get a little extra crafting in!

 

It will be sad to see this creativity-packed week come to an end ... but the end of the week also means we'll be announcing our prize winners - so keep those comments coming!

 

Today I have three projects from Biker Chick Vicki Boutin, featuring the brand new Wonder & Wishes collection - perfect for holiday gift giving - and available NOW at your Local Scrapbook Store!

 

Here's Vicki!

I love Baker’s Twine!  It is such a simple, whimsical embellishment and there are so many uses for it.  The Twinery offers an amazing selection of colors and I was excited to mix their twine with the Wonder & Wishes line.  I decided to whip up a few cards.

 

 

Delight Card

One of my favorite uses for twine is to “string” up embellishments.  I added a few eyelets to a chipboard tag and attached it to the card with twine.

 

 

A great way to keep the twine in place is to punch “notches” using a small hole punch along the edge of the mat.

 

Material List

WO-101 - Home for Christmas/Red Check

WO-102 - Red Poinsettia/Christmas Text

WO-279 - Chipboard Shapes - with glitter accents (20 pieces)

WO-140 - Cardstock Stickers - Fresh Verse - with debossing (28 pieces)

The Twinery Baker’s Twine (Peapod)

Eyelets

Kraft cardstock

 

 

Joy Tag

I often like to work grids into my designs.  I like the linear structure of a grid.  The lines on the Christmas Plaid paper worked as a great guide when placing the twine.

 

 

I punched holes and threaded the twine to give the tag a clean, finished look.  The twine also worked really well as a tag topper!

 

Material List

WO-104 - Christmas Plaid/Dots on Green

WO-140 - Cardstock Stickers - Fresh Verse - with debossing (28 pieces)

The Twinery Baker’s Twine (Peapod)

Kraft cardstock

 

I Believe Card

A glue pen and a little twine are the perfect combination!!!  You can doodle a pattern or write a word and top it off with some twine for the perfect embellishment or title.  I drew the heart with a glue pen and then outlined it with some red and white twine.

 

 

This is a quick way to add pizzazz to a card or layout!

 

Material List

WO-106 - Joy & Peace/Little Red Hot Dot

WO-165 - Chipboard Stickers - Words - with debossing (16 pieces)

WO-222 - Canvas Tape Rolls - 3/4" x 36" per design (3 pieces)
