They are on the way...Do you hear bells during the night?

Stag ribbon from Santa's grotto was just perfect!

I made five cards in same spirit with reindeer theme. I change only the ribbon. 

 I used believe in the magic  for this card.

 Joy to the word ribbon

Could love and peace could be on the World at Christmas, it is my wish this year.

Christmas Canvas Shopping Bag

Hey Folks, Laura here sharing my last project before Christmas.  I bought a plain canvas bag and have used goodies from the Santa's Grotto range to decorate it.

I have used super sticky double sided tape to attach my ribbons.  This is a strong enough adhesive to put up with bad weather whilst out shopping, and the rough and tumbles of the festive world.  Alternatively, you could sew the ribbon on.  The bag could also be used as a gift bag or a stocking-of-sorts.

I've layered up my ribbons to give a nice wide band of decoration.  The cut ends of the ribbon are neatly hidden by the Santa and Snowman motif.  Before cutting the central motif I painted the back of the ribbon with matte medium.  This stops any fraying and stiffens it up making it much easier to cut.  I added two little heart buttons with gold thread for the finishing touch.

Here are links to the products I have used:
Santa's Grotto Badges
Santa's Grotto Santa
Happy Christmas in willow
Heart Buttons

Thanks for dropping by!

Christmas Challenge

Good Morning!

Today we have a brand new challenge with the theme of 'Christmas'. Super easy - no excuse not to enter :-)

I'm loving these icy blues for Christmas cards this year and the pretty Morlaix Cotton Lace in White adds just a perfect elegant finishing touch. The new Christmas sentiment ribbons have also been well used this year. This one is from the Christmas Rose collection (Merry Christmas Black).

Every year I swear I'm not going to be making my Christmas cards in December. Next year I will try harder - promise!!

Hugs, Jayne

Embellished Tea Towel

Hi Guys, Laura here today.  Imagine the scene... the oven is on, the smell of a roast is in the air, the kids are laughing and playing, you pop in to the kitchen to check on the food and see this fun tea towel drying on the oven door!

I am making a few of these as gifts this year.  I bought some plain tea towels on offer and simply added a length of ribbon with my sewing machine.  I unpicked a little of the side seams so I could tuck the ribbon ends under for a nice neat finish.

I've used Parcels from Santa's Grotto for this one but any of our festive ribbons will work well.  It's a great way to cheer up the kitchen over the festive season, and may even make doing the chores a bit better!

Thanks for stopping by!

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Ready for a new challenge today? Christmas and ribbon, isn't it easy...

I really fond in love with Christmas doodle collection so I used it.

I used doodle and message as large ribbon and and Dear santa as tiny one. French lesson reindeers name: Tornade, Danseur, Furie, Fringant, Comète, Cupidon, Tonnerre and Rudolphe of course!

Bon noël à tous,

Christelle

Cracker!

Hi Ribbon Fans, Laura here today sharing a fun table cracker.

I've taken a sheet of patterned paper and drafted a template.  There are loads available online to copy or print out.  I added a scalloped border at either edge for a little extra something.

I tied with Happy Christmas in red from the Santa's Grotto range.

And added Robin trim to the ends.  They look so fun and with five of these character ribbons in the range each of the family could have a different one!

Thanks for stopping by!

Gift Bag

Hi Guys,  Laura here today with a Christmas Gift Bag.

I took a plain white bag and gave it a good spritz with gold spray ink.  I concentrated more colour at the top of the bag and let it fade out towards the bottom.  You can pick up blank paper bags at most craft stores, or recycle ones you have been given. 

I've taken two ribbons from the Santa's Grotto range and painted the backs with matte medium.  When this is dry it allows you to fussy cut the ribbon without fraying.  I matted the large motif on to some gold mirror card, and layered it up over a couple of pieces of lace.

I then added two of the tag motifs to the base of the handle.  Perfect for giving a gift this Christmas, not terribly time consuming, and even something you can get the kids to join in with... go on, do some Christmas crafting!!

Ingredients:
Tag Ribbon
Badge Ribbon
2mm silk ribbon
Volcan Lace
Clermont Lace

To see life in blue!

 Time for a new Crafty Ribbon challenge this week we see life in blue!

I love this spring owl ribbon so I put Mr in a frame of log cabin ribbons. Do you know I am really fond of patchwork?

Light colors on the one hand and dark on the other.  I used a lot of swiss dots ribbon, candy saddle stitch and gros grain saddle stitch plus smile blue message.

Hoping you will receive my smiles all special as you are for me !

My rainy pouch!

For rainy days, it is good to have a second pair of shoes just in case! It is what I asked to my pupils to have on their coat-peg. But some were very happy to be in class in socks!

So always to have an umbrella and shoes in your bag, no?  

I used a fait main , and wellies ribbon from Summer festival collection. To close I used a satin cord.

In plus, a ladybird one because it is my nickname! These wells are so cute aren't they?

It is time for a new challenge today: Anything goes with ribbon or lace!

Challenge #174 is on the way HERE

Come on and show us how you play with our wonderful ribbons!

Santa's Grotto Advent Calendar

Hi Guys, it's Laura here today.

I know it's early!  I know!  But... this is the first of three advent calendars I will make and share this year.  The second one (coming at the beginning of the November) will be given away as a RAK.  Now, in order to allow enough time for people to enter, and then enough time for posting to wherever in the world the recipient lives, I have to start sharing the calendars now!  So, here is the first of this years advent calendars...

I've gone all out ribbon on this one!  I've used the Santa's Grotto range exclusive to Crafty Ribbons, which has numbers and characters (and also lace, but I couldn't squeeze any on!)
Each glassine bag is stuffed with a few sequins and a tissue wrapped parcel, and has a numbered tile of ribbon pegged on to a length of hanging ribbon.

All of the hanging ribbons are attached to a coat hanger, but if you fancy making one yourself a piece of driftwood, a length of dowelling, a wreath... anything that you can hang 24 little gifts on will work!

For those with slightly chunkier gifts I have used a bigger peg, for very light gifts I have used mini pegs.  As the glassine bags are see through I have used four different colours and patterns of tissue paper to wrap the gifts in.  Some bags also have a doily added for extra decoration.

You can see this 'in the flesh' at the fairs Crafty Ribbons are exhibiting at between now and Christmas.

I enjoyed making this so much, as I said at the top of the post, I have made another one too...

But it has a slight twist, so stay tuned in November when I will share it and give it away to one lucky crafter!

Thanks for stopping by!
Laura
