Ribbon and button

Have a pretty paper you want to show on the card?

Don't cut it too much, just place it on a doble folded

pice of cardstock in a size you need and att a button 

and a ribbon. Or only a ribbon with a bow. Like this: 

I have used a vey useful ribbon, another of my favourites;

3mm grosgrain ribbon. Choose your favourite colour HERE.
And find your favourite buttons HERE. There are 
plenty to choose from there!

That's all from Sweden today! 

Happy crafting,

La Vikinga

White, red and green

Remember: keep your negatives after making

die cuts - you can still use the part left over!

The ribbons used on this card are from previous years, 

but there are still plenty of newly designed ribbons

to choose from (like the one underneath) in the 

store. Klick HERE to see them all!

Keep calm and happy crafting!

Hi snowman!

Have you seen the new winter fun collection from Crafty Ribbons? It is so cute for children but also for a little older. 

You can do as mine easily with children. Two white circles cut or punched, some buttons, a ribbon let it snow as a scarf and a pen to add what they want (smile, arms, snowflakes...)

Now I need to make an advent calendar !!! You can order the advent kit or the advent numbers. You have just to choose...

Let's have fun and craft your christmas!

Winter Fun

Yes it has started to snow in Sweden, but where I

live in Stockholms it melts right away these days.

I still used only one of the new ribbons on my card; 

see all the range of new Winter Fun ribbons in store

HERE. How about the sentiment ribbon in blue 

and white for the decoration?

cute ghost

A little word to show you a way to use your ribbons.  I draw a ghost on a orange sheet and then I Cut it. I chose a Halloween Ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and I tried to organize different lengths to see the motive.

isn't cute? I had a swiss dot ribbon as a bow.  

It will the first halloween card for my grand son.

What do you do for Halloween this year?

Have a great time,

Christelle

Flamingo cuties

to match with stamps or even pictures!

Wedding day invitation

Did you ever think about to make wedding day invitations? There is always a perfect ribbon to coordinate with here.

 I was asked about royal blue for my son's wedding and white and silver are really great to mix with.

I used Wedding day ribbon and some Fiskars punches (bird and heart). A simply folded card but with its little effect. In France, we offer to the guests some sugar almonds.

Have a great day!

Some freshness!

It is so hot this moment! With canicula, I would like some freshness and orange is just perfect. I made a card like an alphabet with ribbon. Do you try some? Some brusho vermilion as background and I collect my beautiful orange ribbons.

Vertically, saddle stitch ribbon, orange slices ribbon and gros grain plain.

Horizontally, I just added a mini check ribbon paper flowers and an orange button,

some hand lettering,

an arrow with fiskars punch (thick) to point what is important...

the orange slices ribbon!

And now it's time to make a fresh orange juice and enjoy.

Cute as a button

New Year ribbon

So I wanted to make a cool card with

this snowman using the new year ribbon

(from 2016) but showing only the plain

 side, but this happened as I put the glue

on the wrong side of the bow:

There's still some of that gorgeous blue 

ribbon left; you can find it in the store HERE.

White and red christmas

What are your favourite colours for Christmas? This year, I am very fond of white and red. And as I love robin wood, it was the perfect match, wasn't it?

This robin ribbon "deck the halls" is just perfect. I like it with its hat!

I made also a gift bag 

with a scandi Christmas ribbon.

Do you usually use an advent calendar? There is a amazing scandi ribbon Advent pockets to go with.

Hoping you have fun with Christmas crafts this year. What are you doing?

Are you moving?

Hi, Christelle here!

some of us profit of summer to move in. So a welcome card is always good to receive!

Even gnomes need too..

I mixed stamps, mushrooms dies and of course ribbons I have to make this card. A vertical nisse ribbon

Perhaps your garden gnomes could find a treasure... Good luck in your new gnome!

Have a nice day,

Christelle

Organza Finishing Touch

Hi there, Laura here today to share a card using organza ribbon available from Crafty Ribbons.  I love that there are so many colours to choose from - always one to match your project!

I watercoloured a stamp from Concord and 9th with my Daniel Smith watercolours.

Once that was dry I trimmed it and wrapped my ribbon around three times.  I backed it with foam to give dimension to the card (the foam also helps keep the ribbon in place) and glued it to my card base.  I then tied a little bow on the ribbon on the front of the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks to our Olympic athletes!

I don't know for you but I am very fond of Olympic games! Every four years, I am in front a tv wherever I am in the world. I organise my days on Olympic hours and sleep when I can!

I would like to thank all women and men who take part in this wonderful adventure. All continents joined for great times. They make me dream of a better world.

Congratulations to all with a medal or not. They can't be competitions without any of you.

I used 5mm gingham ribbon (so much colors!) for medals and 40mm gros grain ribbon under thank you word. This snowflake ribbon is from an old season but there are many others to choose.

Do you think, they could see this congratulations card in Pyeongchang ?

All my love to this great champions. 

You give us so much emotions.

THANK YOU

Christelle
