Ribbons and Bows

By
We have a lovely challenge this week over on the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown all you have to do is add some Ribbons AND Bows to your Christmas cards


Here is my card




My poinsettia has been heat embossed with white embossing powder and then coloured using my Stamin' Write markers. I used some Kraft coloured ribbon and tied my bow using the fork technique - Louise showed me how but I'm sure there are Youtube videos to show you how too - Louise always brings a fork along with her to the workshops now!
Here's a peek inside



Stampin' Up materials used
Stamps: Christmas Blessings
Inks: Versamark, Crumb cake
Markers: Cherry Cobbler, Poppy Parade (retired)
Card Stock: Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, Crumb Cake
Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch
Other: Kraft coloured Ribbon - Fork!
(All current Stampin' Up items can be ordered through me and delivered direct to your door - you will have to provide your own fork! Please see all the details above in the top tabs - thanks).

Don't forget that we will be having an Anything but a Card challenge next week and do pop over to the blog to check out the work from the other DT girls - bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    I love kraft, red and white; your card is simply beautiful! That's a sweet bow too (I've seen the fork technique).

    This is a beautiful card, the colours are great and the poinsettia is a lovely stamp. I love the white embossing. I'm glad I taught Louise how to do the fork bow, its a great way of making a bow isnt it? I use it all the time now.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
