Welcome to the Ribbonista Christmas Card Blog Hop!
I used to make cards every year- I would make the same card 70-80 times! It seems that having a little person in school uses up the time I used to make all of those cards! Ha!
I have to admit, when I received the Echo Park 'tis the Season' pack, I was inspired! All the cards I've made are from that pack- embellished with gorgeous May Arts ribbon, of course! :) I love that there are so many pretty elements- I will be using that pack up!
First up- this one uses one of the stickers from the pack. I topped some of the patterned paper with faux burlap in olive, then red sheer box pleats, and tied it up with red/white baker's twine!
I love the result!
A different patterned paper is topped with the same olive faux burlap & red chevron twill & sticker. A totally different look!
Cute green polka dot paper again! This time I used 3 ornament stickers, but cut off the 'string' they were hanging on & replaced it with silver string metallic ribbon. I topped the paper with red velvet ribbon, then ran another piece along the bottom & topped it with the 'celebrate' sticker.
I've used the gray snowflake paper again- this time topped with red burlap, red center stripe sheer (isn't that ribbon SO Christmas-y?!), and a sticker.
And last up is a printed panel that I topped with the banner stickers. They are hung from twisted rope ribbon! I've used tape on the ends, but you could leave it off & fray this ribbon too!
So I've got a start on my Christmas cards this year! Yay!
