C hristmas card using ribbon technique
Project Recipe
Cut standard card base out of Cherry Cobbler 5.5 by 11 scored at 4.25.
Cut a matching mat out of cherry cobbler 5.5 by 2.25
Cut a vanilla piece to build the ribbon on at 5.25 by 2.
Cut and emboss with Merry Melody a piece of vanilla cardstock 5 3/8 by 4 1/8.
Cut 4 strips of pattern paper (DSP) out of one pattern and 4 out of another pattern measuring 3/4 inches by 3 inches.
Cut a piece of vanilla cardstock at 5.25 by 4 for inside mat.
Have a small scrap of vanilla cardstock for sentiment to be punched with double oval punch.
Have a small scrap of cherry cobbler for the double oval mat.
On the 2 by 5.2 piece of vanilla, mark a small line on the edge every 3/4 inches. Marks should be at 3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4, 3, 3 3/4, 4 1/2. Do this on both sides
Starting at one end, put the dsp strip down aligning the edge with the first mark on one side, and slanted at an angle to the corner of the paper.
Add the second strip on top of the first aligning the end of it between the two marks on the opposite side of the cardstock.
Continue laying down the dsp strips until you reach the end.
You will have long strips of paper overhanging. Flip over and trim off the excess.
Mount the ribbon strip on the 2.25 by 5.5 colored cardstock mat.
Assemble card layers.
Stamp sentiment on scrap and punch with double oval punch..
Inside mat, use the labels aglow die and brightest glow stamp set for inside panel. I also added a leftover piece of brightest glow DSP to the bottom.
Enjoy your beautiful creation!
