Tie a Holiday Ribbon Around the Christmas Tree

The next Jingle Belles prompt is to create a holiday card using ... Ribbon.  If you're like us, you've got more spools of ribbon than you'll likely use in a lifetime of creating, so now is the time to let it shine ... tie it in a bow, tie it in knots, create a background ... just get creative with ribbon.

Here's what we created this week:



Lauren says, "This week I fell in love with the Unscripted Sketch, and immediately knew I wanted to rotate it ninety degrees in order to use these great ARTchix holiday inchies at the top. I found a piece of very old Prima paper with little 1.25" frames to hold them... how perfect is that?! After I loaded up the lower section with lace, polka dotted grossgrain, thin satin snowflake ribbon, and my all-time favorite May Arts leafy ribbon, I called it a day. Ribbon mission accomplished!" 



Stephanie says, "For this week's card I started by stamping Love Joy Peace on a art craft tag.  Next I wrapped two kinds of holiday ribbon (attached with double-stick tape on the back) to create my borders.  I tied another piece of silver ribbon through the top of the tag, and then attached my creation with foam tape (a great way to hide any lumpy pieces on the back.  The vintage background paper is from Echo Park Seasons Greetings."

So pull out those spools of ribbon and let your creativity soar ... and remember to link your holiday card between now & June 5th at 6pm (EST) ... and use keyword JB:13:11 for galleries & our Flickr Group.
