It's A Card Making Kind Of Day

Hey Everyone! Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a wonderful day! I have 2 new cards to share with you today. This first card was inspired by all of the beautiful twine projects I've been spotting online and in magazines. I am always amazed at what fellow crafters can do with this adorable crafty medium! So I wanted to give some twine a try. For this card, I created a ribbon spool SVG. I cut the spools out of some brown patterned paper that I found in my scraps bin. I then put some adhesive on the back and wrapped the twine around each spool. I used some pop dots to pop these spools up on my card. I also added a couple of pins to 2 of the spools. The twine and pins on this card could easily be removed and reused by the recipient of this card. 

Also, if you would like this ribbon spool SVG, shoot me an email at aymee810@yahoo.com and I'll be glad to share. I created it this morning especially for this project.

 To show a bit of dimension on the card...

 I added a couple of smaller spools of twine to the inside of the card.

Now on to the next card. This morning I was blog hopping and visited the fabulous Momenta Blog! I am so glad I did because I saw a card by Christine Meyer that was just the cutest! Christine showed how to use your border punch and paper scraps to create a unique look. Check out her project HERE. Isn't that the cutest?!!! I hope Christine won't mind me lifting her idea. I had purchased the punch she used a few weeks ago and haven't used it too much. So I just had to give this a go and I'm so glad I did! It's a great way to use up scraps and to add a pop of color! Thank you Christine for the wonderful inspiration!!
