Just For You by Steph

Good morning everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a pair of cards using some really pretty Dawn Ombre Ribbon.  At 1 1/2" wide, it is just the right size to decorate cards. 

I love the ombre effect and I wanted to showcase it in the center of my card. 

I die cut the center panel from the pattern paper, then added strips of ribbon to fill in the center.

Next, I die cut 2 smaller ovals and stamped a So Suzy sentiment in the center.  This really added a different effect to my card.

For my next card, I used the oval I die cut from the first card, adding it to a card that was first wrapped with the Dawn Ombre Ribbon.  A So Suzy sentiment was repeatedly stamped in the center.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Day Card by Steph

Good morning everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a card using some really pretty Four Seasons Wired Sheer Ribbon in Aqua.   At 1 1/2" wide, it is just the right size to decorate cards. 

The Aqua ribbon coordinated perfectly with the colors in my card.  I mixed the ribbon amongst the flowers and used brads to adhere the ribbon to the card.

The flowers were stamped with ColorBox Background Basics by Ann Butler  and ColorBox Crafter's Ink in Berry.  To finish, I added Flower Soft to the flower centers and added a sentiment from So Suzy Stamps to the right corner.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Just a little bit can make a big impact - by Melissa Craig

Good Morning!  I cannot tell you how excited I am about today's card.  I've been dreaming this one up since I received the Country Check - Light Blue ribbon.  It's just a little bit of ribbon, but who wouldn't identify this combo right off the bat?

Although I used red glitter paper, Dazzle (Glittered Grosgrain) Red would work equally as well!

I created the card by first typing out a sentiment in a word program and printing it on white card stock.  Then I embossed some clouds using an embossing folder by Darice.  I adhered the ribbon and the glittered card stock below the sentiment.  I then cut out 5 doggie shapes, stacked them to give my embellishment some dimension and that was it!  Clean... simple... a great encouragement card.

I do hope you like my card and thank you for letting me share with you today.

Ombre Ribbon Rocks by Steph Ackerman

Good morning everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a pair of cards using some really pretty Dawn Ombre Ribbon.  At 1 1/2" wide, it is just the right size to decorate cards.  And can I say that ombre ribbon is lovely with it's varying colors.

Sometimes, you just need some pretty ribbon to finish up your cards.   While this card was pretty, the ribbon added a much needed touch of pizzazz around the panel.  To all some fullness, I tied another piece of ribbon around the knot.  Then a simple sentiment from So Suzy Stamps was attached to the ribbon.

My next card uses the same ribbon to dress up a butterfly card.  This time, I tied the ribbon to the card and placed the butterfly image on top.  A sentiment was then added to the upper right corner.

The Ribbons Unlimited Store carries such a wide variety of ribbons and colors, there is sure to be something for all your projects.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful day.

Be Merry Dazzling Cards by Pinky

Hey again, Happy Holidays from Pinky!

It's that time of year, the time to create cards and use that glitter.

How beautiful is the Dazzle Ribbon line from Ribbons Unlimited? 

Perfect for cards and so much more. 

 For this card I used a card stock base at 3.5X6, then added an acrylic front. 

In order to add the acrylic front I needed to use a stripe of glue,

the Ribbons Unlimited Dazzle Ribbon is perfect for covering that stripe

of glue. Adding the bow above the sentiment image was just for fun!

This ribbon is strong, and works well on any project from cards 

to hair bows, sewing and more. 

The glittered side is beautiful and adds holiday fun.

Christmas card with ribbon scraps - Grace

Hello there friends. Today I’d like to share a super easy card design that can be mass produced for your holiday greetings. It’s also a great way to use up ribbon scraps. 

Instructions:

Gather your supplies. I will show you on a different blog post where all my ribbon scraps came from but for now, you can see all sorts of widths and lengths of ribbon in the mix. This design is also very useful to use up tools such as embossing folder, die and glitter glue. 

Create your card base from whatever cardstock you prefer. I made mine from white cardstock to measure 4 ¼ x 5 ½”. I then cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of white cardstock and ran them through my Cuttlebug using the Swiss dot embossing folder.

Next, I used a gold shimmer cardstock to cut my Christmas tree die from. I ran it through my die cut machine twice to make that all of the detail cuts were made. 

After that, I assembled the card. I picked out a pattern paper with red and green strips on it as a border and laid out how I want my ribbon scraps to go under the pattern paper strip. I then cut notches on each one and adhered to a ¾” strip of pattern paper. 

I first adhered my embossed background onto the card then my red strip with ribbon scraps under it; Followed by the die cut Christmas tree. To add some more texture, I filled the star top of the die with glitter glue. 

Here are some more close ups of the cards….

 I hope this inspired you to add some ribbon scraps to your next project. Thank you for stopping by.

Magazine Inspired Card by Grace

Hi there ribbon friends. I am a big magazine reader. I love grabbing information, recipes, ideas and of course inspiration from the pages of lifestyle magazines. While browsing through an issue of HGTV magazine, I was stopped in my tracks with the photo of a cool door. As I studied the door, I noticed that the diamond design can easily be replicated with ribbons. Read on to see how I incorporated the design onto a thank you card.

Instructions:

1. For my square card, I cut out a 4 ½” square piece of white paper. I added some dazzle ribbon strips diagonally onto the paper. 

2. Next, I cut the square into four smaller pieces. 

3. Then I turned each square till I got a design that I was happy with. 

4. Then I adhered the blocks onto the center of a 5” square card. I then added a tiny strip of dark purple cardstock, a tied ribbon from more dazzle ribbon and two die cut tabs where I handwrote my sentiment. 

Here’s the finished card…

I used very minimal decoration on this card so that the eye can focus on the cool design created by the ribbon. 

I hope this inspires you to use some ribbon to create some cool geometric shapes for your next paper crafting project.

Happy Creating,

Grace
