Holiday Inspiration from Stephanie

 
 
Hi there! It's Stephanie here with my last post as a team member with The Twinery. As Sheri said on Monday, all good things must end but I'm happy to see all the inspiration the new team will bring in the coming year! My best wishes to all that applied, 
you're in for a fun time :)




Today I have a few Christmas related projects to share for those still in need of last minute ideas!


First up, this super simple gift "wrap." This little box was definitely the easiest present I've wrapped all year! To recreate, die cut a shape (in this case the kraft heart), punch a hole in each side, loop twine through, & tie bow. I added a few embellishments to this, but I think a "to & from" would be nice too.


Next I have a tree shaped card with twine ornaments inspired by our team leader, Julie Ranae. To create these "ornaments" I used a 1/2" glue dot & swirled maraschino twine around (I started on the outside edge & swirled to the center). This card was very quick & easy if you still have cards to make!

 
Last, an initial tag. I used my die cut machine to cut 1 regular tag & 1 tag with an "e" cut out. On the solid tag I used the glue dot/twine swirl technique from the card above. Then I used 3D foam dots to adhere the cut out tag on top.


Well, I hope these ideas inspire a baker's twine 
project in your future :)
Happy Holidays!
Stephanie

  10. I like what you did with winding the twine and filling the monogram. Such a great idea! They remind me of those little peppermint button candies.
