Some Christmas Inspiration from the Twinery

I've been following the Twinery's blog since I bought some of their twine and LOVED it!!  On Monday's post, Emily made a great Quick and Easy Gift Set that I thought would be great to use for christmas cards for my co-workers.  I know... it's only June and we're plenty far away from Christmas, but I can't help myself :-)  I wanted a small and simple card, but was having problems finding something that I liked.  Then I opened the blog and found exactly what I needed.

Using Emily's inspiration, here's one of the cards I came up with - 


I used Spellbinders Labels Eighteen die for the main card shape. I used one of the punches from Stampin' Up!'s Itty Bitty Punch Pack  for the hole on the left and finished it off with Marschino and Peapod twine from the Twinery.  The Happy Holidays stamp is from a set I've add for ages so I'm not too sure who makes it but I'm pretty sure I bought it from Michael's.

**Friday, July 1st is the Young Crafters Unite Blog Hop that I'm joining in on.  I'll be sharing another card using the twine that I love and a few more of my favorite things.  Stop by again on Friday to see the blogs from all the participants and for chances to win prizes from Paper Smooches, Simon Says Stamp, and Denami Design**
