~Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style – Stripes ~

October 29th, 2011 by

Welcome to today’s Ribbon Inspiration challenge brought to you by Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. Make sure you stop by Sharon’s blog to find out how you can be eligible to win a sample pack of these gorgeous ribbons!

This week’s focus is on stripes!

Here is my simple offering this week:

I am absolutely in love with this large 1.5″ wide striped grosgrain.  It makes such a bold statement.  I didn’t want a bow on this simple card, so I cut a small piece of it and wrapped it around with another small piece tucked into that.   It was the perfect place to add a faux button and some gold string.

Here are my details:

Stamps:  JustRite Grandma’s doilies, JustRite Deck the Halls

Colors: Ruby Red, Kraft, GP White, Vellum

Ink: Versamark, Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories: 1.5″ striped grosgrain (burgandy/ivory) , scalloped circle nestabilities, circle punch, gold embossing powder, Tim Holtz damask embossing folder, Kaisercraft red 1/2 pearls, gold string, dimensionals, sticky tape

***Highlighted items provided by Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.***

    I like how you folded the ribbon. This would be so much easier to send than a fluffed out bow. Thanks for the inspiration.

    This is such an exquisite card, I feel it is a Presidential or The Royals Christmas card! Your mixture of embossed, dry and wet, elements along with the ribbon make it what it is. TFS.

    Hi Holly! What a pretty card! Love your ribbon and the way you wrapped it around. Different with a bold statement. I love it!! Thanks for your inspiration.

  63. on 31 Oct 2011 at 10:5163 Gail S.

    Loved that way to do the ribbon–and you would probably not have to pay extra to mail it, either. The larger ribbons almost always cost more in postage when they are knotted or bowed because of the thickness involved. I am going to be sure and remember this way to incorporate them!

    Gorgeous card! Love your stunning doily, your embossed background and your beautiful ribbon!

    Wow what a gorgeous bow!! Beautiful cards

  66. on 31 Oct 2011 at 15:5766 Jean S

    Terrific card. Your heat embossing came out beautiful (especially considering the fine detail of the stamp). Also enjoyed the “wrapped” ribbon

  67. on 31 Oct 2011 at 20:5367 Paulette

    What an interesting ribbon treatment, because wide ribbon makes a huge bow. I like your alternative.
