Craft Inspector | Scrapbook Layout

Sarah here today with a scrapbook layout featuring the Colour your Days Pencil Ribbon.

I had a cute picture of my kitten exploring one of my boxes of craft supplies and thought the ribbon would work so well for it.

I used some rainbow patterned paper for my background to match my ribbon and added a little dimension with texture paste and blue paint.

For my paper cluster I added layers of tissue, patterned paper and stickers. I twisted together some aqua and pink Ric Rac and stapled it amongst the layers for extra texture and interest.

I added some turquoise gems and white splashes of paint around the edge of my layout and tucked some pencil ribbon behind the top of the photo cluster.

Finally I added some extra ribbon below my title to balance with the piece above the photo.

Thanks for joining me and have a happy crafty day!!

Brrr! Brrr! | Scrapbook Layout

Sarah here today with a layout using the new Silent Night ribbons. 

First I chose papers to match the ribbon and created a mixed media background using the featured colours.

I layered papers behind my snowy scene photo to match in with the feature ribbon and paper. A touch of gold vellum worked well to match the title and embellishments.

Some Ric rac ribbon in the three focal colours added some extra texture and covered the join between the background and patterned paper.

As always I finshed the layout with a splash of ink. this time using gold Color Shine to tie it altogether.

You can watch the process here on my YouTube Channel.

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

Keep Calm and Eat Chocolate

Sarah here today with a 12x12 scrapbook layout using the Chocolate Ribbon and Ric Rac from the Crafty Ribbons shop.

To create my background I added texture paste to black card stock and then added Mermaid Markers over the paste to add dots of colour.

I layered papers behind my photo and added a tag with hidden journalling behind the photo.

The ribbon worked perfectly with my photo, i added it as a title under my photo and across the bottom of the layout.

The Ric Rac ribbon added a nice contrast to the paper down the side of my layout.

I added a finishing touch of a few embellishments around my photo and at the bottom of the layout.

You can check out the process video here.

Thanks for visiting, have a happy crafty day :)

Seaside Mixed Media Mini Pallet

Sarah here with a mixed media project using the Fresh Stripe and Ric Ric ribbons.

If you would like to see the full process you can watch my video here.

I painted a mini wooden pallet from a mixed media kit with gesso and added texture with sand paste and art stones. 

Once dry I added paint and inks to colour the background. 

Using 3D gel medium I attached the pieces of net to the pallet, the photo was layered with papers cheese cloth and hessian to add lots of texture.

 Shells, flowers and sequins added to the nautical theme and some Ric Rac added more texture the sandy background.

I added a sweet quote on a chipboard heart sticker and added some Fresh Stripe ribbon for an added touch of cuteness!!

More wider matching Fresh Stripe ribbon turned my pallet into a little piece of wall art.

Thanks for visiting, do check out the Crafty Ribbons Facebook group for competitions and inspiration and have a great day!

Mug Hug

Hi, it's Laura here today.  Are you feeling a bit chilly?  Grab a hot chocolate in your favourite mug and wrap it up in a hug!

It's fairly easy to whip up a mug hug.  I've recycled the sleeve of an old denim/fleece sweater that had passed its best.  I've decorated with camper van ribbon from the Summer Festival range, spotty ric rac, and a couple of heart buttons.

I tried to use ribbon for the button loops but failed (twice) and switched to elastic.

Take a measurement around your favourite mug to get the rough size.  You don't need to be millimetre perfect as the elastic loops allow a little stretch.

Thanks for stopping by
