Once Upon A Time....

Here is another of the invites from the Wedding Show. I just love the white look on a wedding card.
I have used the gorgeous Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon. I struggled to get the beads on (from the Pretties Kit), however I discovered that when you tie cotton thread around the end of the ribbon and uses brute force, you can manage to get them on.

Get in touch with me today to make a purchase or to find out more about Stampin' Up!

Wedding Invite With Style

I love the look of black and white together. On this card I have applied Versamark Ink with the Baroque Border wheel onto the Basic Black cardstock, then I have embossed in white. The 'happily ever after' (from Once Upon A Time - $39.95) is also embossed.

The ribbon is threaded through a ribbon buckle from the Hodgepodge Kit.

Have fun creating

Ribbon With A Twist

Yes, this is Stampin' Up! ribbon. I have played with it (quite a bit) to get this effect.
-Cut a length of 5/8" Old Olive grosgrain ribbon.
-Snip the edge off along the length.
-Use your snips to tease out half of the strands ( do this a few strands at a time).
-Put the point of your snips in every 1.5cm and twist them about to make a gap (this will also create the wave effect at the bottom of your ribbon).
-Pull the ribbon straight.
-Adhere it to your card.
-Twist the threads together that you pulled out of the original ribbon.
-Use a Designer Brad to make the top of the tassle.
-Attach to the card.

I hope that this makes sense.

Kind regards
