Spring Ribbons for a Spring Market Folio

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  How would you like to go to the flower market with me?  Today's project is a Carta Bella Spring Market Trifold Card folio adorned with airy, shimmering 7/8" White Organza ribbon and Gold Metallic String. 

This delicate ribbon and string combination is the perfect accent for this 5 1/2" square card folio.  If you've never worked with organza ribbon before, you really should give it a try.  It is soft and easy to tie, comes in a rainbow of colors, adds soft shimmer to any project and best of all, is very affordable. 

I love to make little folios like this one.  They are so  much more "doable" than a mini album, but have more going on than just a card.  And I've tucked some little surprises inside that help it to double as a gift.

Seam binding ribbon is another "go to" for me as it ties the prettiest bows.  This little art tag is topped with Pink Salmon Seam Binding, and it adds a lovely pop of color.  Like the organza ribbon, seam binding ribbon comes in every color you could possibly ever need or want! 

So if you're looking for some great spring ribbon options to go with your spring paper stash, you can't go wrong with Organza and Seam binding!

Thanks for stopping by!

Organza Bow for a Sweet Baby Girl Card

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  It's Kathy here with a little ribbon inspiration for you today.  I had a hankering to take a break from fall/Halloween projects and make a sweet little baby girl card with my G45 Precious Memories papers.  Why?  Who knows?  The idea just popped into my head, and who am I to argue with the muse?  I'm glad I listened, because this card was really fun to make. 

I wanted to keep everything about this card soft and sweet and light and airy...even the ribbon and trim.

So I opted for this gorgeous double layer bow tied with 7/8" White Organza topped with Ivory Burlap String.  It makes me think of angel wings.

To add a little more soft texture, I ran a row of Debra Natural Crochet Lace above and below the belly band, as well as along the border at the bottom of the card.

I also dressed up my little safety pin embellishment by tying it with a bit of the same crochet lace trim.

 

Inside, there's a little gift card pocket.

And a large pocket with a tag that I topped with more Ivory burlap string.

If you haven't worked with organza in a while, you might want to add some to your stash.  It ties beautiful bows, especially when you use  the Zutter Bow-it-All Tool.

Is there anything sweeter than a sleeping baby?
