Happy Birthday to Me!
In my last post, I had said that I was going to be posting my swaps for SoCal Stamp Mania. Well, I had good intentions of posting all week, but we got a touch of the stomach flu here and it put me out for most of last week. I did manage to get better and finish all my swaps - the day before Stamp Mania! Anyway, here is the first of my swap cards.
I saw a card with woven ribbon on Kristina's blog. I thought it was SO neat! Of course I had to try weaving and put it on one of my swap cards! Kristina has a great video tutorial on how do weave the ribbon. When you have a chance take a peek at Kristina's blog. Great stuff!
Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: Sincere Salutations
Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: StazOn Jet Black
Designer Series Paper: Spring Silhouettes
Ribbon: 5/8" Certainly Celery Grosgrain
Accessories: Pretties Kit, Ice Round Rhinestone Brad
Tools: Distresser Tool, Paper Piercing Tool
As always, contact me if you have any questions on how to make this card.
