The Challenge #52

I'm back, a second round this Monday. This time I am playing along with The Challenge. I chose a CAS style card. Thank you ladies for choosing my card last week as a Top Pick!




The Challenge is to make a Christmas Card. I die cut the two separate pieces of DP then used ribbon to hide the seam. I two additional pieces of ribbon for the bow. I finished with some green gems to match the thin border.

I was watching a card video the other day and the crafter mentioned she has purged all her ribbon. I found that interesting because to be truthful, I rarely use my copious amounts of ribbon. Ribbon collecting was almost like an obsession, now I have tons, and it is just collecting dust.. and I have moved on to twine :), simple easy and Nina proof.

Do you still use ribbon?



Supplies: White and green card stock, Designer Paper - Echo Park, ribbon, gems, SS Stitched die cuts.

Thanks for visiting,
Nina

  2. The ribbon adds such elegance to this beautiful card! I have a lot of ribbon too and I still do use it occasionally, but not as much as I used to. I'm hanging on to it though, it's sure to make a comeback one of these days ;)
