One of my favorite ways to use twine is to wrap it around a card front panel like I did above - usually wrapping it three times. I added a little double bow to the sentiment tag too. Even though this is a rather 'elegant' card, the stone twine works well, I think! (The stamp set I used is called God's Purpose from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.)
Here I used it by wrapping cappuccino twine three times around the kraft card stock and tying it in a bow. I really like how 'flat' twine is - it makes it so easy to mail your projects out without having the added bulk of a regular ribbon bow. (The stamp set I used on this card is Warm Winter Wishes from The Craft's Meow.)
My last card shows how fun it is to use twine to 'thread' buttons. I used mandarin orange twine - I how bright this orange is! - for this card. (The stamp set on this card is called Rise and Shine with sentiments from Artful Endearments from Layers of Color.)
