Cards With Twine by Danielle Flanders

Hi there! This is Danielle Flanders here today on the Trendy Twine blog with a couple of quick and easy things you can do with your twine! There are so many different ways you can create with layers in your scrapbooking and card making, and twine is a simple way to add another layer of interest without a lot of bulk. Today I'm using the Original 6 Mini Pack of twine.

On my first card, the first thing I did to create it was to adhere two die cuts from London Market Ephemera (post card and flowers) by Pink Paislee. Next, I stamped the postage stamp with red ink onto pink patterned paper from the London Market 6x6 Paper Pack and cut it out. I adhered it, then stamped the black postage mark over the top. The black frame is another Ephemera piece also that I folded in half over the top of the card! (It was actually placed there to cover up a stamping mistake!)

I wrapped the Strawberry Cupcake twine around the card top before adhering to the card base and used the twine to tie on a Wooden Spool Button by Pink Paislee. You can use twine for SO many things! To tie on buttons, wrap around cards, make mini banners with and so much more.

On the second card, the Peppermint Stick Trendy Twine is used here to create butterfly antennas - just wrapped it around the butterfly and tied, leaving two tails for the antennas.

I also stitched around the die cut with Twisted Lime twine to add dimension and interest to a plain 'old die cut. :) (Oops, I see that one antennae is falling down in my pic.)
