For today we have
I received this awesome crinkled ribbon! It’s so soft and the colors are fantastic! 🙂 It’s quite flat – there is virtually no thickness which is awesome for cards!
For my first card I used loops to emphasize my sentiment and distract from the busy background.
My second card was actually where my inspiration came from. I wanted to weave the crinkled ribbon. As the ribbon is a 1” width, I wove it on a 4” x 4” piece of card stock. Then I had to find a way to get the sentiment on the background without covering up the weaving. I achieved this by using the loopy method. 🙂
My last project is a quick tag. I wanted to tie a bow with this gorgeous ribbon and the way the folds worked on the top of the tag – squeal. lovely. I have always said that May Arts Ribbon is the BEST for tying bows and this ribbon is no different. Luscious.

Because I’m primarily a card maker, I wanted to show a few ways to use the new adhesive scallop trim on your cards!
You can highlight the cut out area of a die cut, create an entire background by overlapping different colors of the trim and use it as a design element when making your own embellishments. The trim is very malleable and can be customized to fit almost any shape. The adhesive on the back holds amazingly well, yet it allows you time to readjust if needed!

I have a little thing for gold these days so it was only fitting that I got to play with the new metallic bakers twine. There are so many ways to use twine, simply by making a little bow adds a degree of cuteness to any project! I made this easy clothesline frame just by taking the twine to the back of a piece of painted plywood. The DCWV gold foil journaling cards really make the whole thing pop!
Excuse the cuteness, here is the simple bow technique at work, just a sweet little wrap on a scrapbooking layout goes a long way!
This ‘hello’ frame is one of my new favorite projects. The small wooden disk it easily turned into an attractive piece of art by using the twine as a hanger for the frame. Be sure to also check out the Silver and Christmas twine new to the May Arts bakers twine lineup!
