~Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Ribbon Store – Ric Rac~

February 4th, 2012 by

Hi Friends!!

Happy Saturday!  You know that means Ribbon Inspiration time!

This week we’re focusing on ric rac!   Today’s hop winner will receive 1/2 yard of each ric rac carried in the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.   That’s a lot of ric rac!

If you’ve arrived here from Barb Schram‘s Blog, then you’re in the right spot.  If not, I suggest that you start back on Sharon Johnson’s blog.

Here’s my offering of fun for today:

I used two types of ric rac for my card…. 1″ grosgrain ric rac (brown) and 3/8″ velvet zig zag in natural.

I’m smitten with birdcages lately, so I had to create one to go with my card…

This was actually pretty simple to do.  I started with a medium sized nestability cirle and several 1/8″ strips of white cardstock.   I scored the end of the paper before I cut the strips and then adhered them to the bottom of the circle.  After I had them all on the circle, I covered it with a second circle (sandwiching the strips between.  A 3/8″ strip of designer paper wrapped around the bottom held the strips up straight while I affixed the bird on his perch.  Then I added another strip about 2″ up from the bottom and finally I created a cone for the top.   I put tacky glue in the cone and gathered the strips together and plopped it on top.   I decorated it with just a few details and done!

Here’s a pic of my card alone:

And a few details:

    Great projects! The card is particularly beautiful, I really like how angling some of the elements seems to soften the whole effect.

    Hi Holly~

    Wow, 2 Great Treats here today! I love the bird cage…I am amazed that someone made that by hand! I am in a bird and birdcage mindset lately, too.

    Your card is gorgeous! I love how you used 2 different widths of ric rac. I never knew they came in a wider width…it looks wonderful layered! And, the flowers are colored beautifully…and I love the matching rose on the ric rac! So yummy!
