Happy Friday!
Today the CardMaker Blog Team is joining the fabulous ladies from Really Reasonable Ribbon for a summertime blog hop!
You should have arrived here from Linda's blog. The CardMaker Blog is the start of the hop if you're just stopping in. After me, your next stop is Judy.
Bonnie from RRR sent us the July Ribbon Club Assortment to use for today's hop. It is a beautiful combination of green and yellow ribbons, and you have a chance to win one just by leaving a comment!
Here is what I created..
How's that for summery?
I always struggle with ribbon - I feel like I can't tie a bow to save my life, so I wanted to try and use the ribbon a little differently. For this card, I cut some different length strips of the green ribbons and stitched them across the top of my card. I added a big juicy strawberry and a coordinating sentiment (from Big Berries - Strawberry) to the card front.
I made a second card, this time using some of the yellow ribbons.
I lined two of the ribbons up and stitched them to my card front. See, I can do this ribbon thing! ;) I combined them with images from my Playful Pinwheels set. Don't you love them?
Thanks for sticking with me - be sure to visit Judy, the next stop along the hop!

Both of your cards are just beautiful. Wonderful use of ribbon.
ReplyDeleteI love your choice of a kraft paper background because it makes those lime colored ribbons just jump off the page. I just grab the scor-tape to adhere my ribbons, so I get jealous of those who sew ;)
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are just great...love the color combinations and your backgrounds. You've made the ribbons pop!
ReplyDeleteEspecially loved the pinwheel card! Thank you so much for
