On the day I started this project, I received my very first batch of bakers twine in the mail. I ordered several samples from SeeSpotStamp's Etsy Store after doing calculations upon calculations of the cost per yard for all the bakers twine sold on Etsy. SeeSpotStamp had the best price for nice colors at about 6cents per yard. Can't beat that considering other brands were coming to 20cents per yard.
Lets regress to the elements that comprise of this project:[Theme] This project got it's pink theme because I wanted to use the Cherry colored bakers twine
[Dress Form Shape] Because the theme was pink, I chose to use Silhouette's dress form shape. I make it a habit to open Silhouette Studio each week to download the free shape of the week. The dress form was that weeks shape.
[Birthday cutout] How dull would it have been if I just made the text straight across? Luckily I stumbled upon this Silhouette tutorial that demonstrates the ease of laying out text along a line or a shape. I should have known that the font was going to cut real thin. Unlike the other two holders, I had to reinforce this one because it was too flimsy alone. I glued a 3"x3" square piece of cream colored cardstock that was stamped using a circle pattern rubber stamp and distress ink.
And this birthday card for my sister concludes the Top Load Notecard Holder sequence!
