Hello, Friends! Since it is almost Father's Day, I thought I'd share a fun idea for a masculine card with you today. I know many of us struggle when it comes to using ribbon on a masculine card. But this Apple Green Satin from the June Ribbon Club is the perfect partner for this Golf Themed Card Folio.
Ivory Burlap String adds a little extra texture to the bow. When I use ribbon on a masculine card, I like to keep it really simple. Just wrap a length of ribbon around the left hand side of the card panel and tie a square knot. Top it with the ivory bow and some themed embellishments. The ribbon adds texture, shine and a pop of color.
Here's a peek at the first fold of this fancy-fold card. It's like the ribbon does double duty!
I love the way that you can still see the ribbon on the inside of the card, too. You can use this technique on simple side fold cards and on top fold cards, too. It's a very easy way to add a designer touch to your project.
I hope I've shared some helpful tips and tricks for using ribbon on masculine cards. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Cheerio,
kathy

ReplyDeleteMy summer vacation plans are spending the time I don't normally have at home crafting -- especially cards! It's my way of relaxing, especially at this time. Thanks for asking, for offering the blog hop, and the chance to win! Stay well.
