Product Focus: Ribbon

Today over at SSINKspiration we are focusing on Ribbon!  We are showing you our favorite ribbons and our favorite ways to use ribbon.

Here is my card for today...

One of my favorite new ribbons is the Pool Party Glitter Ribbon in the Occasions Catalog.  It's so pretty and glittery!  

This card features one of my favorite ways to add ribbon to a card!  I love to make a little loop and staple it to the back of a piece of cardstock.  It doesn't take a lot but it adds a fun pop of texture and color!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Be sure that you check out the SSINKspiration main blog today to see what the other Design Team Members created with their ribbons!

SSINKspiration: Celebrating Babies

Today over at SSINKspiration we are Celebrating Babies!  Baby Cards are one of my favorites to make!  The occasion of having a new baby in your family is one of the happiest and I just love to celebrate when a new little joins the world!

So here is my card today...

I used the stamp set: Label Love.  Its an all occasion stamp set that I just absolutely love!  There are so many punches that go along with this stamp set and that just makes creating all the easier!

For this card I used the Artisan Label Punch and the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch.

I also have to say that the High Tide Designer Series Paper was a big surprise when I opened it.  In the catalog I just kinda passed by it...over and over and over again.  Then I decided to get some for myself and WOW!  Not all of the images have to do with fishies and whales.  This super cute star pattern is one of the patterns and I LOVE IT!

Cardstock: Basic Gray, Whisper White, Pool Party

DSP: High Tide

Stamp Set: Label Love

Inks: Basic Gray, Summer Starfruit

I had so much fun playing with this Bundle!  Here is my card I made for this month...

I used the Fresh Prints DSP Paper Stack for both of my projects today!  I absolutely LOVE this DSP!!

For my flower focal on this card I used two of each punch: Blossom, Pansy and Petite Petals.  The middle is a Big Rhinestone Jewel.

For my 3D item this month I created a little notebook that would be perfect in a purse...although I may not want to squish the pretty flower!

The flower on this notebook was created with the same amount of punches as my card above but in the center I put a Whisper White Candy Dot on a Candy Dot Brad Base!

The "notes" stamp comes from a Paper Pumpkin kit from a few months back.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you are enjoying the hop!  Your next stop along the hop is Pamela!  You won't want to miss her projects today!
