Vintage Butterflies Ribbon cards

Hello everyone, sadly this will be my last post with Crafty Ribbons, but I have really enjoyed my time here.  So I decided to go out with a bit of a bang lol.  I have created 16 cards using the one-sheet wonder technique, only I used two sheets of patterned paper instead lol.  I am posting eight of these cards here, and to see the other eight, you will have to visit my blog at Ode to Paper :)  I know, how mean lol.

Yes, this post is very picture heavy, lol, but I think you'll find that it's worth the trouble :)

I am listing all of the gorgeous ribbons from Crafty Ribbons that I used in creating all 16 cards.

Vintage Butterflies-English Creme, Vintage Butterflies-Bikes Creme, Vintage Butterflies-French Creme,

Vintage Butterflies-English Latte, Vintage Butterflies-Bikes Latte, Vintage Butterflies-Keys Latte,

Vintage Butterflies-French Latte, Vintage Butterflies-Bikes Cream, Vintage Butterflies-Birds Creme,

Volcan Viscose Lace Creme and Chantilly Cotton Lace in Creme...wow, that was a mouth full!

I really did have so much fun creating these cards, and the one-sheet wonder is the perfect thing to jump-start your mojo :)

Christmas Cards in July with Leah Tees

Hello everyone, I have used the Noel Heart Wool Felt Kit in my inspiration project this week.  I know, I know, its early yet to be thinking about Christmas, lol, but I don't mind.  It's a great start :)

This kit is supposed to make a decoration, but I am not very good at embroidering, hahaha, so I made it into a card.  I also used some Saddle-stitched Christmas Ribbon and some French Viscose Lace to finish it off.  If you would like to read more, please visit my blog here.

A Trio from Leah

Hello everyone :)  I hope you are all ready for the summer weather!  I know I am, we had a rough winter up here.  I have created three cards all using the same technique with different colors, stamps and ribbons.
If you would like to see more information about how I made these cards, please visit my blog at odetopaper.blogspot.ca.

Card Number 1 uses Morlaix Cotton Lace from Crafty Ribbons:

Card Number 2 uses White Seam Binding from Crafty Ribbons:

And Card Number 3 uses Tango Grossgrain Ribbon from Crafty Ribbons!

I love the way there is always something from Crafty Ribbons to match what I am working on.  It's a really good thing, because sometimes I throw caution to the wind and just create, without regard to what I might have for embellishments in the right colors, hahahaha.  I know, what a rebel!  If you need to build up your ribbon stash, Crafty Ribbons is definitely the place to go.  You can buy all ribbons and laces by the yard, and they even have buttons and ribbon embroidery kits!
