Using Baker's Twine w/Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hi there, friends.  Those of you who know me best are aware that I absolutely LOVE Baker's Twine and you also know that I tend to tie it around many of my cards.  Baker's Twine is an incredibly affordable trim at just ten cents per yard and it comes in so many beautiful colors included stripes and solids.  I tend to use it a lot because I know I can always find the perfect color to accent every project.
The black base was cut using a Triangle Cover Plate and I stamped my card using a (retired) Papertrey Ink Stamp Set called Petite Pots.  I used several colors of Tim Holtz Oxide Ink to stamp all the pretty flowerpots, stems with leaves, and flowers.  It took me a long time after it was retired for me to find this sweet PTI stamp set.  It's such a pretty set, and I knew that Baker's Twine would be the perfect touch.
The card is very simple, but it still need just a bit of trim and I thought the Solid Plum Baker's Twine and the Solid Black Baker's Twine were the perfect touches for this sweet card.  I can still easily slide this card into a mailing envelope.  That's yet another reason why I love Baker's Twine so much - you can still mail cards that use Baker's Twine.
I made a quick and easy matching tag for this card so that the recipient could use it as a bookmark.  I stamped the same floral images as on the card using the same PTI Petite Pots Stamp Set.  As I did with the card, I wrapped the tag with some beautiful Baker's Twine.  This includes some of the Solid Plum Baker's Twine as well as some Solid Black Baker's Twine.  Thanks again for visiting, and don't forget to stop by the RRR Blog often for lots of great inspiration, news about sales and special promotions, and for all things RIBBON minded.  Have a creative week.

I'm playing along here in these FUN challenges:


Blessings,
