Decorating Cards with Ribbon
It is so much fun to decorate cards with different ribbons.
It is very dangerous for me to go to a fabric store or a craft store
when ribbons are on sale, probably even when they are NOT on sale....LOL

This is an Anniversary card I just made for my Mom
and Dad. Their Anniversary was earlier in Jan. so I'm a bit late for that
and too early for Valentine's day, so I combined. I used some heart ribbon
that I got on sale after Valentine's day last year for the top and bottom
borders of the card. It's hard to tell from the photo, but I also layered
the bears with 3m mounting tape so they are dimensional. I used UHU gold
and red glitter on the hats and shoes. I do not know where I got it. It's
ok, but a bit too thick for most projects. I prefer to use a double stick
tape on my ribbons rather than a glue. Not only does it hold better, you
don't have to worry about any ribbons getting ruined from the moisture
of glue.

I usually keep a few of these printed and ready to go for various sentiments. Get Well, Thinking of you, etc. The glitter I used on this is called Glitter Writers and is my favorite glitter to use. See my supply page for a better description. I also used the double stick tape for the ribbon on this card. I have pictures of it and links on my supply page. I might also mention that the glue guns work well for heavier embellishments. |
