Natural Finish Ribbon Archives

Last week’s Card & Cuppa had a love theme, with the new Country Bouquet Punch from the Mini Catalogue providing the heart shapes.

This project is great for Valentine’s Day, Engagement, Wedding, Anniversary wishes and more.

It also has a more rustic feel with the Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla colour combination. Poppy Parade provides the splash of red.

Background ‘splats’ and the sentiment are stamped using the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set. First and Second Generation stamping is used for the splats to give some depth.

Hearts and the sentiment are cut out using the Country Bouquet Punch.

A length of Natural Finish Ribbon is looped together and stuck to the background. As this ribbon frays fairly easily, looping it together hides the ends on the inside.

The hearts are then stuck together and raised above the ribbon using Dimensionals.

Finally, Heart Pearls finish the project.

Don’t forget that SAB is only running until the end of the month. Make sure to take advantage of earning those FREE products while you can.

For last week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa project, I created this project that used the FREE SAB Cards & Envelopes for the basecard.

The project takes inspiration from the design on Page 56 of the Annual Catalogue.

Rather than creating a basecard as I normally do, I chose to use the FREE SAB Cards & Envelopes instead. These basecards are pre-printed with a delicate leaf pattern and also come with matching envelopes.

Using the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder for my background, this was cut down to size. It was then given some colour using a Sponge Dauber and Crumb Cake ink.

Blushing Bride Daisies cut using the Medium Daisy Punch were then created by again using a Sponge Dauber to add colour to the centres, and then gluing two together.

Lengths of the gorgeous Natural Finish Ribbon were stuck the wall piece before the daisies and leaves, cut using the Bough Punch in Mint Macaron and Crumb Cake were added.

A sentiment from the Art Gallery Stamp Set has Linen Thread looped behind and is then stuck to the project.

Finally, some of the new Festive Pearls from the July-December Mini Catalogue are added. These 3mm Pearls come in a pack of 200 with 50 each of Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Silver and Gold. Gold are the ones I chose to use on this project.
