Crafty Ribbons Challenge

Welcome all, I have the pleasure of being your host 

for this Crafty Ribbons challenge.

The theme for this week is 

Christmas

The prize is A £10 voucher.

to spend in the Crafty Ribbons  Store.

I love these ribbons so much, I couldn't decide which to use.

So the answer was to come up with a design

so I can use a few!!

As always, it looks much better in real life.

Over to you now and get making a Christmas card.

If you need some inspiration, pop over to the Crafty Ribbons blog

and see the fab samples from my DT Teamies.

PLEASE REMEMBER

ALL ENTRIES MUST HAVE RIBBON OR LACE ON

YOUR ENTRY.

If we cannot see it, you will not be entered into the draw.

Good luck.

Christmas Makes

The week before last I did 3 Craft Fairs.

I sold so much, that I have hardly been out of my craft room since!!

I have also got a few orders for large projects to do.

Here are just a few 'Smalls' for my Christmas Craft Fairs.

On all of the boxes I have used the gorgeous text ribbons

from Crafty Ribbons.

On this little one, I also used their 'Holly Ribbon'.

There is a link to Crafty Ribbons HERE and 

at the top and the bottom of this post.

The next 4 boxes I made from scratch and also added a gift in each.
I sold 3 of the boxes below!

I had some wooden coasters I made with my Brother-in-law.

So just to use them up, I painted a winter scene and added  a

clay snowman I made and die cut trees.

I used the Crafty Ribbon around the edge and as the hanger.

I hope this gives you some ideas to use text ribbon.

They also have some amazing and beautiful ribbons. 

All at very reasonable prices. Some are exclusive, so will 

make your projects very different.

Check them out HERE.

You can also win some on their challenge blog.

HERE is the link to the blog.

Don't forget, you have to be in it to win it!!

I will post a couple of bigger makes soon.

Thanks for stopping by and I love 

reading your messages.

Crafty Ribbons Challenge 163 - Anything Goes

Firstly, I would love to welcome my new followers.

Thank you for taking the time to join me.

I hope you enjoy your visit 

and pop in and leave a message, so I know you have been.

What a palaver trying to get a decent photo!!

It has been so dark and gloomy here, I couldn't get an acceptable picture.

I got up early again this morning, (Wednesday) 

as it appeared to be a bit brighter.

It's back to gloomy and dark again now!!

Is it really Summer?!!!

I am having the lights on during the day in my craft room.

I took some with the lights on and it just bounced off the ribbon

 and distorted the images!

This picture is the best I could get, but not as good as in real life.

The theme for this weeks 

Crafty Ribbons Challenge 

is easy peasy:

Anything Goes!!

There is as always, a great prize for the winner.

So get those cards, projects, or whatever you would like to do,

onto the challenge page HERE.

This ribbon is amazing and the detail is brilliant.

How they got such clear images on Gross Grain Ribbon

is beyond me!!

It's called Retro Car Ribbon and available HERE.

We saw cars like this when we went to Florida. 

My Daughter and family are going there today, to the Tampa area.

As she is the Production Manager of TUI (Thomson Holidays) 

 Specialist brochures, she gets a few perks!

This is actually an easel card! Can't you see that?!!!!Lol!

I cut the ribbon into sections and attached them to pieces of white card.

I then backed them with a piece of black card.

The top right and bottom left cars are actually 3D and the other 2 laid flat.

So get those entries in to have chance of winning.

This is the last challenge for the 'Buttons'  DT for a few weeks.

So pop over to the blog for more super inspiration from my talented Teamies.

There is one more challenge from the  Bows Team on 11th August.

We then have a Summer break.

The Buttons team will be back on the 1st September,

with the theme of Anything Goes.

Thank you for you support.

Big hugs,

Summer At Crafty Ribbons

Hi all! Oops missed updating my post!!

Had friends staying and for a few days. 

Then it is our Wedding Anniversary today!

So, welcome to our Crafty Ribbons Challenge. 

This week the theme is 

'Summer' With Ribbons or Lace'.

Your prize will be a selection of some 

fabulous Grosgrain Ribbons. (Not actually these colours)

Actually, some days it has been quite hot here.

Then the next day, chucking down rain so hard, 

we had puddles in the garden.

For my card I have used one of Lili Of The Valley new stamps.

She is called 'Summer', so I thought she was perfect

for our challenge.

She is coloured with Distress Inks on water colour paper.

 

Her dress is 'spotty', so perfect for our gorgeous 

Organza Swiss Dot, Garden Rose White Ribbon. 

The colour is a perfect match.

So pop over to Crafty Ribbons Challenge blog  

and see all the stunning cards

that the Buttons DT have made to inspire you.

Then add your pretty cards to Mr Linky and you could

be the lucky winner of some beautiful ribbons.

Thanks for visiting and leaving your lovely messages.

Hugs,
