I actually made two Any Hero cards for the hop, both using only paper from my scrap pile. I really wanted to pick a sketch that I have not made yet, as I would like to try them all this year so I picked #45. I used the new Paper Smooches set
. I colored my twine on both using a technique that can be found on Nancy's blog here:
http://brujahrose.blogspot.com/2012/01/money-saver-monday.html. The second card is not a sketch card, but I wanted to show you the twine in white. I love that you can create your own "baker's twine" using any color(s) so cheaply. I have blog candy, see the blog candy post if you are interested. Happy hopping!!!

Great cards! Love the papers and the stamp set. These will be much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea on the twine! Especially when you want it to coordinate perfectly and you don't have the wight color. I have heard of this technique but never tried it. Now I think I will! Thanks for joining in the Memorial Day hop and for supporting OWH!

Love the colors you used and the twine is so cute. I'm going to have to give it a go.

LOVE! I'm going to have to go look at that sketch, which I really like, and you did it perfectly! (So many times I'll have a square image and sentiment.)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I just left a note about the twine on your blog. Thank you so much for sharing! I've been having twine envy, but knew I'd have to buy so much to make sure I had any color I'd need. But you've solved that problem.
I don't know any other cardmakers around here, plus, I work full time, so I've really come to count on the OWH online group for inspiration and fun knowledge!
OH! I just got that Paper Smooches set in the mail today. Thank you for the terrific inspiration! Cute cards!
ReplyDeleteFun cards!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! The more I see the Paper Smooches the more I like them :)
ReplyDeleteThis Paper smooches set is so fun... thanks for showing us your great cards.
ReplyDeleteFun cards. Happy Memorial Day weekend. Hugs
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteGreat Any Hero cards! They will certainly be appreciated by the troops who receive them.
Thanks for the tip on creating your own baker's twine!
So cute, Linda! I have been meaning to try making my own baker's twine but I haven't gotten around to it yet. But you've inspired me now to try it ASAP!
ReplyDeleteGreat; thanks! I love the tut and the cards are neat! If that 2nd one is not a sketch, I think it needs to be!! ;-)

Oops, what I mean about the sketch is--that needs to become a sketch, NOT saying 'you had better use a sketch'--LOL just saw that might be read the wrong way--Oops, sorry!!
DeleteI love Paper Smooches stamps and you have used this little eagle so adorably!
ReplyDeleteYou did a fabulous job with that sketch and the twine you created adds such a special touch. WTG.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with both cards. I am going to check out the tutorial to see what you did with coloring the twine.

both of your cards are great! I need to pick up those Lawn Fawn stamps - love 'em.
ReplyDeleteThere's that eagle again! Cute and fun cards! Love how the sketch card turned out. I also think the 2nd card should become a new sketch. (hint, hint Julie) I know I will definately be CASEing that layout.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! Thanks for using this sketch! I have never used it since I struggle with it. Your card has really helped me "see" it! Love that new stamp set and your tip about coloring the twine is one I will be using! Hope you are having a great Memorial Day weekend!
