Zipper lime!

I have popped on to show you a card I made using this gorgeous summer breeze ribbon in zipper lime green which you can get HERE!

I am not a lover of green but when I pulled this ribbon out of my stash I knew I wanted to use it. A very versatile ribbon which comes in lots of colours. 

Ribbon and Pearl Necklace

Good evening everyone, hope you are well! Its Elaine here with my first ever Crafty Ribbons Inspiration post-I hope you like the Ribbon and pearl necklace I am here to show you :-)

For this project you need some ribbon (I used some ribbon from the Jam pot ribbons in Blueberry here) beads (I used inexpensive pearl beads), jewellery thread, some fabric glue and jewellery findings. I sewed on the pearls and used a running stitch along the ribbon so when the thread was pulled tight you get the interesting folds in between the pearls. I then finished my beading by knotting the end of the thread then hiding this with another fold of ribbon which I glued with fabric glue to ensure it was strong. I used ribbon clamps at the end of my ribbon then attached jump rings and a fastener. 

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend, whatever you are up to! Please pop by the tutorials tab at the top of the page for a couple of tutorials I have made for you too! :-)

Lacy ATC

Good Morning Everyone! Laura here today.  I hope you are all well...

Today I would like to share an ATC with you...

My M.E. has not been very kind to me over the last few weeks and the thought of making something big at the moment is just too daunting, but an ATC is a nice manageable size (64mm by 89mm)

 

I have used some of Crafty Ribbons' fab lace in bluebell and lilac mist.

Have a lovely day folks,
Laura
