There are no lack of ideas in the Close To My Heart Idea Books (hence the name...lol) but this one made me think. Me and a few of my fellow CTMH sisters challenged ourselves to find ways to use "Ribbon in a New Way."
Anyone who's been to a card class of mine knows I love bows, ribbon, twine, etc. I think it adds such a great touch. But to use it in a new way, I came up with a decidedly girly addition.
For this card I used a retired CTMH stamp set called, "Be Yourself".
I love these silhouettes and used the girl with the frilly skirt for this card.
Here is a close up of the skirt. I originally tried to make the ribbon sticky on just one edge with my Xyron but it wasn't working well so I ended up with simple glue tape and some pleats.
I really liked how this card turned out. A few triple stamped swirls, some girly retired pink paper, and a few gems on a pink card base, and it's a wrap. What do you all think?
Thanks for stopping by! There are a few more projects to go through Here is the whole order if you want to start back over at the top!

I love to craft . . . but I hate to spend money UNLESS it's on quality products. That's where creativity and sales come in. This blog is designed to showcase CTMH items, tips, tricks, and more.... My aim is to show how to use what you have or what you find for a good price to make something you can be proud of. Follow along as I show you tips for making things stretch, unique uses for what you already own, and any other tidbits of info I can share. It's going to be a fun ride!
