Tis the Season - Twinery Ornament

It's Christmas in July at the Twinery! We're showing projects this week to help you get a jump start on your holiday decorating! I'm primarily a card maker so I need extra time to get one made for everyone on my list. I love Twinery Twine too! It is the perfect embellishment for taking things to the next level and adding lots of "oooooh" factor! 

Everyone loves a shaker card - this is a twist on the idea. Instead of creating a pocket to fill with sparkles, I created a panel of colorful Twinery Twine to layer under the ornament shaped die cut opening in my card.   This pretty ornament die is from Memory Box - it's called Emerson Ornament.
I started by water coloring a panel for the cover of my card. If you look close you'll see I splashed it with gold watercolor paint! 

Once it was dry I stamped a sentiment in the lower corner and die cut the ornament. I added double sided tape to the cover of my card base and adhered stripes of Maraschino and Lilac Twine. I love red and purple together - something about it is very regal. 

I made sure the entire die cut area was covered with twine a few times by laying the die cut panel on top of the card base. When no white was peeking through the opening I adhered the cover panel to the base with adhesive foam tape.
I adhered the die cut ornament inside the opening with liquid glue (Ranger Multi Medium Matte in a needle tip nozzle bottle) and embellished with some gold pearl gems.

A gold foil ornament cap and Twinery Gold Shimmer twine add extra sparkle to my card. This is a fun simple technique to use on your designs and will work with so many different dies. I hope you'll give it a try!
