It's a card with pretty unicorn ribbons and a cute unicorn stamp from Bugaboostamps.
Unfortunately, this special ribbon is sold out, but other fab unicorn ribbons can be found here.
Hi Guys! Laura here today with a scrapbook layout.
This project started with one idea, circled through a couple more ideas and ended up being one of my favourite creations so far this year.
I started with some heart confetti cut on my Silhouette Cameo and Rose Gold Red Vibez from Shimmerz. I was inspired by my friend Mary to have a good at a bokeh-type background. You can see how in the video posted below.
That was just playing with no plan in place for the finished piece. I decided to go the ribbon route and make it a DT piece for Crafty Ribbons. I picked a few ribbons and dyed them with the same spray.
I then decided it needed some green, and what better than some silk leaves...
I also added silk twists to the centre of my vellum flower. I'd have used french knots if I knew how to do them ;)
I had seen peg fairies about and came across some pegs and wooden balls so had a play and was really happy with what I made. I had such fun painting the face and creating the hairstyle! The ribbon finishes the doll of perfectly :)
Hi Folks, Laura here. I've been playing with a cute free cut file from UK Scrap Addicts. It's
designed by my friend Emma and she called it Bunny Butt - what's not to
love?!
I set my Silhouette Cameo to cut a warren of rabbits and set about making some bunting for Easter.
I started off with my ribbon - Swiss Dots Organza ribbon
in a colourway exclusive to Crafty Ribbons. I matched my watercolours
to the dots on the ribbon and messily splashed paint over the bunnies.
When that was dry I splattered a load of gold ink over them. It kind of
looks like the mottled eggshells on Mini Eggs!
I
pulled a few felt hearts from SpiegelMom Scraps and a handful of
paperclips and clipped the bunnies at a regular-ish distance apart
across the ribbon. Really simple. Well, I struggled with a few of the
paperclips, actually, but it should have been simple!!
I don't have a good place to hang bunting to photograph it, so this is the best I can offer for a hanging photo...
Hi, Laura here! I have been
procrastinating tidying my desk for a few weeks. I took it one step
further by deciding to make a layout with items from my desktop only. I
shove stuff on my desk all the time - packaging, mail shots with nice
colours, ephemera/sweets wrappers, extra cameo cuts etc.
Hi Chaps! Laura here today to share a new baby gift and wrapping idea...
I picked a caterpillar and butterfly button from the Basics 2 Go pastel garden mix and pulled out some Lime Juice organza Swiss dot from the Baby Washing range. I made simple bows and attached the button securely over the top with contrasting thread to a pair of new born socks.
Hi Guys, Laura here today. Yesterday was National Scrapbook Day. Lots of celebrations, challenges and inspiration started on Friday and continue through today, and some on to the end of the month. I, for one, am keen to see more ribbon in scrapbooking.
I made this layout for a few challenges - one to use no patterned paper, one to include poetry and hearts, and the other to use ribbon. I picked out the exclusive multicoloured Organza Swiss Dot ribbons and sieved through my button stash for some complimentary buttons. I made some little rosettes/prize ribbons by folding small pieces of ribbon and sewing a button on top.
You can find the Swiss Dot ribbons here and a huge range of buttons here.
Hi, it's Laura here today with a ribbon-y dream catcher.
This is the most enjoyable project I have made in a while! Isn't it fun?!
To make one you'll need a selection of ribbons and the inside of a roll of sticky tape!
I added strings of buttons and lace to my ribbon dangles. I added some vellum feathers to the end of some of the ribbons.
The
tape roll (I uses the inside of a 3mm double sided roll) is simply
wrapped in ribbon until it is covered. Then to make the web I followed
some instructions I found online. It is quite simple when you get going, but describing it is pretty tricky!
Here is a list of the ribbons and laces I used - all from Crafty Ribbons.
Hello! Laura here today with a mixed media scrapbook layout.
I have a guide to making the background on my blog here. Once all the mixed media was dry I gathered a few white paper layers, some organza swiss dots, a couple of grosgrain 3mm, some white lace, and a shade of purple lace that was as close a match to my background colour as possible. I snipped my ribbon and lace in to 3cm-7cm pieces and tucked them in between my paper layers.
Because my white layers are sheer (I used glassine, tissue and webbing) it gives a really interesting effect with the lace and ribbon peeping through.
I've used tons of snippets from my ribbon jar including these beauties: swiss dots, saddlestitch, thin grosgrain, organza dots,sentiment ribbon. I ruffled some, I made some bunting... I stuck some down, I sewed some down... and I used some like I use sentiment stickers.
There are close up pictures on my blog if you'd like to see the small details. Laura
I made a spring challenge on my blog if you want to enter. You could win a surprise made by me (see picture) and Crafty Ribons too. Come to see me HERE
It's Laura here today. Hello, how was your weekend?
I have a large ribbon canvas that I made at the end of last year to match my new duvet cover and curtains.
I have used a wooden frame from a bought canvas but knocking up a do it yourself frame from wood would also work well.
I
had a great big bundle of ribbons to start with. What I was after was
lots of different widths and textures and I wanted a good percentage of
the ribbons to be see through. I hand dyed a few lengths of white
ribbon and lace with India Ink to get the right shade of aqua. Once I
had found exactly what I was after I divided them in to two piles and
started laying out my warp ribbons - the ones that go up and down.
Once
I had roughly the right pattern I started stapling them directly on to
the back of the wooden frame. The key is to get them nice and taut.
When they were attached I started working on my weft ribbons - the ones
that go from left to right.
This
time instead of stapling them straight away I wove them all and then
when I was happy they were all in the right place I stapled them as
before. Again the key is nice and taut.
I picked this wooden decoration up at a market in Henley with the intention of giving it a make over...
I took the pieces off the string and gave them a few coats of paint, swapped the wooden bead for some nice glass beads and changed the string for ribbon. I added an extra little bow with a brad in the centre too.

At the top of the label I've tied up the beautiful Organza Swiss Dots
