Paper Crafting Blog Hop October 2023 - Ribbon Spotlight!!

 

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop for October 2023 - featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of projects and design styles to share with you this month - and every one of them is spotlighting ribbon!

~*~*~*~*~

So I have to admit - I love the thought of ribbon - I love having ribbon spools in every color - but I do not use a ton of ribbon on my cards. Just a simple bow here or there - so this month was a challenge to me as I wanted to showcase the ribbon in a different way. I think my card does that -

I am a clean and simple stamper - Stamps Ink and Paper pretty much do it for me.  I love the simplicity of this card using the oak leaves from the Season of Chic stamps set along with one of the set's great sentiments.  My colors are Pecan Pie and Copper clay.  So for my ribbon I chose the Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red/Burlap combo pack in our annual catalog and made a ruffle with it.  I just laid down a strip of our tear and tape and added the ribbon folding it back on it self to get this look - and I think it is perfect!  Here is how I mark my ribbon in combo packs as they are not marked individually.

Then of course I needed to finish the inside of the card - 

And the envelope to match - 

I'm so happy with how it came together - it is a perfect card for this season.  Can't wait to send it out.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I would love to hear your thoughts and comments!
