I love crocket

 It is my turn to post for Crafty Ribbons Design Team.

I made some labels and I used the I love Crocket ribbon. At the top I used some red Loopy Cord and tied it up with a piece of  scrapper's floss.

My mother of 91 years old has crocket the flowers. The buttons are from Basics 2 Go Buttons (Hearts Pastel).

My mother has crocket this jacket for me. She gives away most of her creations and now she can add the labels to her present.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great Monday!

First Layout for Crafty Ribbons DT

Hi Everyone. I decided I needed a new challenge for myself personally so I decided to apply to some design teams. I am so lucky and have been accepted by Crafty Ribbons
I decided to start with something I am at home with so made a mixed media layout
I began by choosing a photo and edging it with papers from the Echo Park Imagine That Girl and Doodlebug Designs So Punny



I then edged the photo further with three types of ribbon:
Bling Velvet Ribbon in Rose Quartz
Baby Ribbon Dots/Island Blue
Patchwork Rose Ribbon Flowers



Add a trim from the So Punny collection and then add Ric Rac Ribbon 5mm Ivory
Coat the middle section with Prima Clear Gesso and dry



Add coordinating ink sprays and dry



Add cardboard to the photo piece and journal card from So Punny to give it height and stick to the main page



Add a variety of embelishments from the So Punny and Imagine That ranges such as stickers, chipboards and enamels and finish with 3 heart buttons from Crafty Ribbons



I hope you enjoy this project and look forward to bringing you more
Here are some close ups for you to see the ribbon and buttons in all their glory.

Happy Easter

Good morning everyone!

Margreet here with a Easter card to share today.

Frost ribbons

I have prepared some gifts for young neighbors 

and other small friends so I also made some 

cards to go with the goodies. The first one is

for Melanie, who lives opposite of us in the

building:  

The second one is for her little sister Bella:

Neo is a 11 year old boy who likes to play 

in the snow:

And Leah is his 8 year old sister:

Sorry the Frost ribbons are out of stock

but maybe you'll find your own favorites

at the cartoon section in the store HERE?

Christmas Canvas Shopping Bag

Hey Folks, Laura here sharing my last project before Christmas.  I bought a plain canvas bag and have used goodies from the Santa's Grotto range to decorate it.

I have used super sticky double sided tape to attach my ribbons.  This is a strong enough adhesive to put up with bad weather whilst out shopping, and the rough and tumbles of the festive world.  Alternatively, you could sew the ribbon on.  The bag could also be used as a gift bag or a stocking-of-sorts.

I've layered up my ribbons to give a nice wide band of decoration.  The cut ends of the ribbon are neatly hidden by the Santa and Snowman motif.  Before cutting the central motif I painted the back of the ribbon with matte medium.  This stops any fraying and stiffens it up making it much easier to cut.  I added two little heart buttons with gold thread for the finishing touch.

Here are links to the products I have used:

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

On Your Engagement

Hi Guys, Laura here today.  I have a clean and simple engagement card to share...

I've used two pieces of Crafty Ribbons lace and teamed them with the tiny heart buttons that match the Christmas Family ribbon.  These buttons come in red, black and white and in two different sizes... I've just stocked up as they are a really useful stash item!

Let me know what you think in the comments...
Thanks for stopping by,
Laura

Buttons!

Hi Guys, Laura here today to share a quick bracelet I made.

I started with these...

which I pulled from a selection of Basics To Go - Novelty.  Seriously guys, get a bag of these!  Filled with all sorts of goodness!

And this is what I ended up with.

Perfect for wearing on the beach.  More photos over on my blog...

Have a great day,
Laura

Lavender bag

I love to have scents at home, so I made this little lavender bag 

with heart button, heart ribbon and satin cord. 

You could put in your dressing room, on an hanger or a door...

Have a nice day from Christelle
