Kitty Ribbon Christmas Card

The current Jingle Belles RIBBON challenge is making my mind buzz with creative ideas! On this card I used a dark green Christmas ribbon with kittens on it. From a second piece of ribbon, I fussy cut around the kittens and adhered them with dimensional adhesive over the matching kitten. The white space on the card was just begging me to create some kitty paw prints.  I used a heart and circle punch to create them and adhered them so that they "walked" all over the card. I even dug out my embossing marker and wrote "Merry Christmas" and embossed it with green embossing powder. I'm loving this ribbon challenge! (Oops, I see one of my tiny paws is missing a circle...gotta go adhere one on before I forget about it.)

Bookmarked Christmas Card

This is one of those cards that serves dual purposes. Not only does it wish the recipient a Merry Christmas, but it includes a handmade bookmark as well. The bookmark was made with Christmas ribbon, cardstock and a shear white ribbon. It is tucked behind a strip of musical embossed cardstock that is layered over a larger pieced of embossed cardstock. Inside I adhered a piece of white cardstock that has a strip of the Christmas ribbon running down the right hand edge. My inspiration for this card comes from the current RIBBON challenge at Jingle Belles as well as the BOOKMARK challenge at My Time To Craft.

Ribbon Patches

I've rolled out the ribbon for the current RIBBON challenge over at Jingle Belles. I am so happy to finally have a project or two that inspires me to use some of my Christmas ribbon. It's the extra wide (1 3/8") and perfect for cutting into square patches! These little patches of ribbon stacked neatly into the shape of a tree.  I layered them on a piece of green embossed cardstock that I matted on white, then black.  I added a strip of white ribbon and a bow to finish.

Ribbon Tree

Today's card was inspired by the RIBBON challenge at Jingle Belles. I decided to use ribbon three ways on this card. First, I used it to create the tree. I have a collection of wide Christmas ribbon which I trimmed into narrow strips of various lengths. Then I adhered them into the shape of a tree.  I also cut triangles from the wide cream colored ribbon to use in the corners.  Finally I used ribbon to tie a bow for the upper left hand corner.
