Ideas For Using Ribbon Dies
Welcome to Paper Crafting With Rebecca! Today's blog is all about ribbon weaving in die cuts and I am so happy you stopped into my little blog. I hope you find the information here fun, informative, and inspirational. I am not selling anything. I am not sponsored by (nor an affiliate of) any of the products used or companies mentioned in my blog or videos. I simply create this blog (and videos) because I love meeting new people and connecting with others in the paper crafting community.
Awhile back I did a "haul video" and unboxed some beautiful ribbon dies. I promised I would make a short video showing how they can be used and provide some ideas for using these sorts of dies. Here is the video as promised...
- The card base is white cardstock cut 12" x 6" and folded in half to create a 6" x 6" card.
- The first layer (the pink glitter layer) is 5.75" x 5.75" square.
- The center patterned paper is 3.25" x 5.5".
- The two edge strips (multicolored) are each 1" x 5.5".
- For my round ribbon die in the center I used a Gemini die from Crafter's Companion. It is the Elements die titled "Circle Ribbon Frame".
- You will then want to use what ever sentiment stamp or die you have in your stash to complete the look of your card.
- The card base is a piece of Kraft cardstock cut 8.5" x 7". I then scored and folded the Kraft cardstock at 3.5" from the left side. This will allow room for your strip of ribbon weaving. Your completed card will be 5" x 7".
- My ribbon weaving piece is also on Kraft cardstock cut 1.25" x 7". I ink blended some Expresso ink onto the strip after using my Edge'ables die to give it some added dimension so it would show up against the non-inked Kraft cardstock behind it. I then wove my ribbon through the die cut and adhered each end with my tape runner. (Be sure to save a piece of the matching ribbon for your bow.)
- The patterned paper piece on the front of the card is 3.25" x 6.75". I also cut a 3.25" x 6.75" piece of white cardstock to put inside the card for my greeting and note.
- The card base is white cardstock cut 12" x 6" and folded in half to create a 6" x 6" card.
- The green layer is 5.75" x 5.75".
- The Santa patterned paper is 5.5" x 5.5"
- I then adhered a piece of patterned snowflake paper cut 2.75" x 5.5" to a piece of white cardstock cut to 3" x 5.5"... then attached this to the top of the Santa patterned paper 0.5" from the right side of the card (the side that opens).
- For my oval ribbon die in the center I used a Gemini die from Crafter's Companion. It is the Elements die titled "Oval Ribbon Frame".
- I used ribbon from Dollar Tree because it matched my snowflake paper perfectly! But you will want to use whatever ribbon and papers you have in your stash.
- I stamped both the Santa and the sentiment and added them to the top of the ribbon die cut using foam tape.
- A few little snowflake sequins, a touch of a glitter pen, and I was done!
