Hello everyone! I'm not sure if I officially announced it here on my blog (some days Social Media tends to get away from me), but I'm on the May Arts Design Team for 2016. Those that have been following me for a few years may remember my fondness (and large collection) of ribbon, and lately I've been reaching for it again to use on my cards - so this was a rather fitting position for me!
To kick it off we're doing a Valentine Blog Hop with CardMaker Magazine and The Ribbon Resource - there's a TON of inspiration going on here so make sure to check out all the stops on the hop (plus there's a giveaway at the Ribbon Resource blog at the end!) - I'll have links to all the stops on the hop here at the end of my post.
Of course I needed to make a card with ribbon - but why stop at one I may as well use 4 eh? ;)
I think my very first ever May Arts ribbon purchase was this 3/8" sheer with polka dots - I love it and own full spools of every color.
This ribbon is perfect for cards - it's the perfect width, and thin enough that even with this much and all the bows I have still been able to pop it in an envelope and mail it without paying extra postage (with one like this with all the bows and sequins I'd add an extra piece of card stock to protect the card front while mailing).
I finished off the inside with a sentiment from a Lawn Fawn stamp set and a bunch of stamped hearts in ink colors that matched the ribbons on the front of the card and that was it!
To see how this card came together check out my video below:
