I adore the Gingham card stock and the lemon card in real life is beautiful Pearl lemon

The White base is Linen card so its quite a lovely weighty card

The Ribbon is absolutly stunning from

Happy Day | Scrapbook Layout

Sarah here today with a scrapbook layout featuring the Colour your Days - Maths ribbon.

I knew I wanted to save this ribbon for my boys first day at school, it works perfectly as the rainbow colour would work with any uniform colour combo. I created a montage of photos as he wouldn't stand still and smile nicely for one good shot!

The colour scheme I chose was black red and white with a hint of yellow to match the school badge. I used black card stock and red acrylic paint through a stencil and extra splashed around the stencilled numbers.

Under my photo I layered up lots of patterned papers with foam in between to add a little height. I distressed the edges for more texture and cut out a calendar and typewriter to use as embellishments.

Amongst the papers I stapled in the ribbon and across the top of the page to really show it off in detail. I added stickers and sequins around the photo cluster and calendar and circled the date and wrote the year in red pen. To brighten the background and tie in the ribbon I added white ink splashes over the top.

You can check out the process video of how I created the layout here.

Thanks for joining me and have a Happy Crafty Day :)

Christmas fun

Morning all !!

Sharing today a bit of fun Christmas. I love my bright colours and you can't go wrong with pink, purple and green !!  The stamps are by Stampendous coloured with distress inks watered down, used a snowflake die and glittered with stickles ( don't tell anyone, but I hate loose glitter !! ) Punched some holly leaves and berries and topped off with some super gingham ribbon with a bit of the fabulous Morlaix lace !!

Minnie Mouse is in The House

Good Morning Everyone

Minnie Mouse is in the House today as I share with you a couple of cards

I have used a couple of Stamp sets from the Disney Vintage collection from Studiolight

They were really good fun and there are stacks of little stamps to create some wonderful projects

I coloured them up to match the ribbons using Distress ink refils

The Ribbons are from Crafty Ribbons

Mouse Head Ribbon ~ Lucky

Mouse Head Ribbon ~ Two Pink Bows

How totally cute, that Ribbon was so hard to cut up I just wanted to keep it for me

Thank you so much for stopping by

Thinking of you

Hi there! I have used the negative after cutting ut oval 

 dies and made two cards in coloured cardstock. First 

I used a beautiful broad ribbon with tulips and sentiments;

see all the ribbons with tulip messages HERE. I also

complemented with some recycled pieces of ribbons 

from clothes and also some lace. Lace are HERE. 

The second card features only one ribbon, a sheer

purple organza ribbon that is discontinued BUT the same

beautiful design can still be found on the satin ribbon HERE. 

Remember to use your negatives after die cutting!

Greetings from Sweden and thanks 

for liking Crafty Ribbons like we do!!

Somerset Patchwork

Ooooh it is a bit chilly here in Dorset this morning.

Here at CR HQ we do love playing with ribbon!

Great job 😃

Have you ever tried Somerset Patchwork?

The art of folding ribbon to create stunning cards.

We have used a classic colour combo here, red and gold.

All made with ribbon!

You can watch our video on Somerset patchwork

Have a great day

Ribbon to the rescue!

I started a new diary this month. 

Nothing fancy, just a cheap one from the supermarket. 

Suited me perfectly, except it would not stay open on the day. 

Ribbon to the rescue! 

You can find the stone ribbon here 

https://www.craftyribbons.com/details.aspx?p=8464

A simple band of ribbon with a small piece of elastic in the middle. 

Perfect and so easy 😃

Stones Grosgrain

Good Morning

Wendy L aka Spanish Crafter here to show you a pencil case I made.

I used the stone Grosgrain ribbon in two different colours, as these were the two snips I had left over from another project.

I sewed it onto felt with enough room to hold a Polychromo pencil snuggly.

Very happy with how this turned out as I am not the greatest machinist.

It wil hole all my pencils  and I can take to my Craft club now.

I stitched the felt onto an old Duvet cover and added straps to tie it all together.

Have a good day

Butterfly Bear

Good morning everyone!

Margreet here with a card to share today.

I have made a ticket card and the sweet butterfly bear is sitting on a piece of Swiss Dot Grosgrain.

Through the holes I have woven the beautiful seam binding and finished it with a bow at the top.

 More info can be found on my blog.
Have a great day!

New display props

Morning Crafty folk

I decided we needed a few fresh display props for our exhibition stand. So it was play time 😃

I choose to play with our Santa Grotto ribbons, you can find them here https://www.craftyribbons.com/stock_santas_grotto___tags-7814_1131.aspx

Now what to make? 

I am very much into bunting at the mo, so pockets were made. 

Completely turned, corners poked out and ironed flat. 

Next each pocket was inserted into bias binding to make the bunting. 

Not sure if I will add numbers to make it an Advent bunting. Will sit and look at it for a while 🤣

Have a great day

Rainbow Ribbon Bracelet

Good morning everyone, hope you are well! I am here to share a gift I made for a friend using Striped ribbon in rainbow, some ribbon clamps, jewellery findings and a centre piece. I really hope you like the way the ribbon stands out and its impact! 

Look my smart bow-tie!

I have a lovely friend who loves bow-ties. And I thought of him when I made this little one with raspberry ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

Isn't charming?  I used my teddy bear as model because it's a surprise. He doesn't know yet I made it for him. I will saw him in late september.

I used raspberries ribbon but with any sweat treat ribbon it could be fun.

I am in hurry to see him with on his shirt! It could be also a brooch (I put a pin beside) or a hair clip. Just some tips for you.

(You could see also a saddle stitch ribbon.)

Hush Little Baby

Happy Tuesday , Hope you all had a good weekend

it was bank holiday here in the Uk

We were certainly spoilt by the weather, The sun sure did have his hat on

Yesterday I made a Baby card

How cute is this Decoupage sheet.

The card was cut on my portrait, I used Linen card

I also made a matching box

The sentiment is a freebie stamp I think, I subscribe to a monthly magazine and more often than not I store the freebie stamps in a box , I always rummage through if Im looking for sentiments etc and can normally find what I am looking for ~ I used Memento Ink Toffee Cruch

The Ribbon of course is from Crafty Ribbons

and I have used the 3mm Satin Ribbon in White

I use this Ribbon so much and it comes in tons of delish colours.

Thank you for looking
