Hi, it's Emily, and today I'm sharing an idea for quick and easy cards that I sometimes make as gifts. I didn't know the personal style of the recipient for this set so I kept the card design very clean and simple to allow The Twinery's baker's twine to shine. In fact, he noticed the twine right away, especially the way I packaged it (similar to this project), and couldn't stop raving about it which made me happy!

I started this project by choosing a fancier shape for these cards because they were going to be stamped with only black ink. Then I chose a stamp set with large sentiments that would hold their own. I adhered the card fronts and backs together and punched a tiny flower into the centre of the area where the two pieces are glued together. Then I paired up two colours of The Twinery's baker's twine for each card. First, I looped them twice through the floral hole and then tied a bow, knotting the ends at different length before trimming off the excess.

So easy, right? It didn't take long to make all five cards. This is a great way to stretch your stamp sets and show off The Twinery's baker's twine! You could even use the recipient's favourite colours on all the cards. If you give this idea a try, let me know and I'll be sure to drop by and have a peek.

Thanks so much for stopping by to enjoy my twine idea today! If you're interested, you can find the complete supply list for this set on my blog. Have a wonderful day!
