Crafts by Carolyn - Using string and cords in card making

Using string and cords
A simple piece of garden string can be all that you need to embellish a card. I like to use string, jute, crochet cotton, metallic threads and metallic cords. Charms and other items can be hung on it, or threaded through buttons. So rifle through your drawers and find those balls of string.
	In the Garden Perfect for a card for a man.		More Gardening The card is a 'tent' fold making it easier to wrap the string around.
Fishing This is a fantastic metallic cord in a dark copper colour - threaded through a metal button. The ticket is free for your own wording.		VW camper This is the same type of cord, but in a bright blue, threaded through eyelets.
	Mouse The blue metallic thread is used again - another tent fold so that I can wrap it around..		Relax! Jute string has been wrapped around, on this scalloped card it sits neatly in the gaps.
Scrabble This tag is perfect with the string - card made by Clare.		Love For the rustic look - again perfect for a card for a man - this string just finishes it. Made by Clare.
