I really enjoy using twine on my cards, it really adds a nice touch and is a great alternative to ribbon since it is not quite as bulky. Sweet N Sassy stamps has a wonderful variety of The Twinery twine in the store so you will want to check it out!
If you have already been hopping you should have arrived here from Sheri Twing's blog. If you are just starting here, I invite you to start back at the beginning and hop along with us!
I have 2 cards that I would like to share with you today.
The first is a card that I made during the summer for one of the SNSS kits but never shared yet- gasp!
I used the Seeing Spots set to create a strip and then I cut around the circles to create a scallop edge. I accented the card with honeydew twine.
The second card is a pretty simple Christmas card that would be easy to reproduce.
For this card I stamped the holly image from the Holly Jolly Christmas set randomly to create a background panel with green ink then used candy cane stickles for the berries. I stamped the sentiment beneath my punched border. I wrapped Maraschino twine around the border and then cinched the twine by tying a bow through my button. I love how twine looks when used on buttons!
But before you go....
Here's the wonderful prize The Twinery has up for grabs with today's hop,
the Ultimate Color Sampler Pack valued at $25....
And here's Sweet 'n Sassy's prize...
the super popular Season of Change Stamp Set (which you have seen me use a few times now) & Die Bundle valued at $28....

Janette, enjoyed both of your cards. Clever idea cutting around the circles to create a border. Love your own background paper for the holiday card with the dotted wave edge, twine and button. That would be fairly easy to mass produce ~ love that. Twinery & SNSS are super!
Two beautiful cards! Love the stamped circle border on the first and the hand stamped background on the Christmas card goes so well with the striped twine and button!
Such sweet cards. I love what you did on them.
Both cards are wonderful! Love the first with the repeating circles next to the twine. Love those colors. Thanks for sharing.
