I’ve got two new cards to show you today. These are some of my favorite cards I have made to date. I love the colors! I love the baker’s twine I used to add some fun to each card. I got my baker’s twine from Pick Your Plum. If you haven’t signed up for their email, go to their site to sign up. They have a great craft deal each day! Fun stuff!

To make the cards, I followed the directions on Homespun with Heart to make the baker’s twine flowers. I also cut the two rectangles and carefully lined them up on the card. I decided to add my third color in the form of a tag. I cut it out with my Creative Memories tag maker and added a simple dash and dot pattern around the edge of the tag and the rectangles with a black pen.
- To assemble the card, I started with two of the baker’s twine flowers. I adhered them with foam squares. While adhering the pink flower, I added the twine for the tag to help hold the tag in place.
- I then added the blue baker’s twine flower. Again, using it to hold the tag and the tag’s twine in place.
- Finally it was time to add the recipient’s name and tack the tag in place.
I wanted to do something extra on the inside of the card. I printed out Happy Birthday onto some yellow cardstock. I used Learning Curve Dashed for the words and simply added baker’s twine in each color to the left of the wording.
This is one of my favorite cards I have made. I love the colors and the simply beauty of the card.

Not long after I made the first color block and twine card, I needed to make another card for my Mother-in-Law’s birthday. I love this card even more than the first. I don’t have a Cuttlebug
or other machine for adding texture, so I do it old school. I use Fiskar’s texture plates
and their embossing tool
. It just takes some time to add the texture, but sometimes it feels soothing and therapeutic to me to do. This was one of those days. I love they way the added texture looks on the card.



After adding the texture it was just a matter of putting on the baker’s twine bows and lining everything up. You can see I added a Happy Birthday tag with flowers to the front of the card. I got this from some leftovers from a scrapbook kit.
I love the color blocking and the baker’s twine. They turned into really pretty cards. I hope my Sister-In-Law and Mother-In-Law enjoyed receiving them and that they both had great birthdays!
