Step 2: Feed each end of the ribbon through the inside of card to outside of card.

Step 3: Pull ribbon tightly through the hole. (Make sure the ribbon isn't twisted.)

Step 4: Place one end of the ribbon up and the other end down.

A Tag For My Tote

2008-09-21T21:12:00.004-05:00

Okay so I finally gave in and ordered several packages of DSP including Maine Blueberry. Then I just had to make a tag for my convention tote since it is covered in the same prints.

It is perfect for make cute 3x3 cards.

2008-09-03T14:05:00.004-05:00

Christmas Card Holder

2008-08-28T20:44:00.006-05:00

This is a Christams Card Holder that I made last week. I couldn't resist using purely pomegranate and river rock. I also decided to use the Holiday Harmony DSP that was in the Holiday mini last year.

This is what the inside of the holder looks like. The card holder will hold 4 cards and envelopes.

Here is a closer look at the cards I made to put in the holder. I stamped Merry Christmas in versamark, and then used sterling silver embossing powder.
