Bigger Wish Card

Hey there Paper Peeps! It's Ginny and I'm just dropping in this morning to share a fun birthday card I created that is very very purply! 

 

I used Lavender Wrinkle Ribbon to create those sweet little bows that hold up the button and rose banner. I layered loads of pretty patterned papers from Sweet Sentiments from Graphic 45 with a fun Subway Art Styled Birthday Sentiment from my Digital Collage Sheet.

Wishing you all a happy and productive day with lots of time to be creative : ) G

Then scroll down to show word verification for comments? and select No.

We love to visit your blogs and leave comments on all the terrific entries, but the word verification really slows us down. :o)

Steampunk Debutante Birthday Wishes

 

Hello again, all you fabulous ribbon lovers! I'm popping in today with a fun Steampunk Debutante card that I paired with Double Faced Satin Ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

 

This cutaway card has lots of metal and textural elements and I've adorned it with 3/8" wide double faced satin in brown and turquoise. I tied the double bow with my faithful Zutter Bow-it-All and topped that scrumptious ribbon with a painted metal flower.

 

This card is all about layers...and surprises. Here's the inside:

 

I used a ton of the images from Steampunk Debutante inside the card.

There's also a pocket for a tag, and room to tuck in a gift card.

 

I embellished my tag with Natural Jute String. I just love the texture that this adds to a project.

That's it for me today, friends! I hope you found some new ways to play with ribbon, and that your day makes you happy right down to the tips of your crafty little fingers!

Cheerio,

kathy

Your smile is planted in my heart...

Howdy!   Cherry here to share a card today. I have had this sweet image from Crafty Secrets sitting on my desk and finally decided to use it.  I used my favorite reds and garden greens for the main colors.   I used red lipstick seam binding for my red bow and the lace from this month's ribbon club assortment as a border along the bottom half.  Hope you enjoy!  cherry

Fun Summer Woven Ribbon Headband

This headband is made using a 1/2" White Plastic Headband and 3/8" Bright Confetti Dots on White Grosgrain along with 3/8" RRR Select Grosgrain in Hot Pink and Apple Green.  I LOVE this color combination!
