12 Weeks of Christmas Challenge with Crafty Ribbons

Another week closer to Christmas!  And you know what that means?  That means it's time for another 12 weeks of Christmas challenge over at Crafty Ribbons :)  This week's challenge is Christmas to die for.  Which means you need to use dies and ribbon on your project :)

So this week, I used a stamp and die set from Avery Elle called Noel (I have also seen it called Fa La La La) and some Happy Christmas Saddle Stitched ribbon from the Crafty Ribbons shop.

I had lots of watercolor fun with this card, and I popped the little holly stamps up to make them three dimensional.  This cute ribbon can be found on the Crafty Ribbons website, along with many other awesome ribbon.  The new Christmas ribbon is now listed in the shop as well, and come back soon to see some of it in action!

And don't forget to come and join the 12 weeks of Christmas challenges!  One every week until Christmas over on the challenge blog!  See you over there :)

Inspired by Ribbon Feature for Crafty Ribbons

Many times I create my project and pick the ribbon that will go with it the best.  This time I picked the ribbon and used it to inspire the card design!  I love the way these turned out, I had a blast playing with the watercolors too.

For this blue card, I let the polka dots inspire me!  With my watercolor paints and water, I splashed, I spritzed, I splooshed and I even used some Gelatos and a stencil ;)  The ribbons are 35 mm Satin Ribbon in Cornflower and the smaller ribbon is Organza Swiss Dots Ribbon in Copen/White.

For this second card (and I think my favorite of the three), I chose this fun summery ribbon and used it to inspire the green grass.  This ribbon is called Summer Festival - Meadow Ribbon  and the smaller ribbon is called Summer Festival - Holiday Message Ribbon.

And for this last blue card, I used the Happy Christmas Ribbon to inspire the many layers and sizes and colors of snowflakes.

You can find these and many more beautiful ribbons in the Crafty Ribbons online shop.  And don't forget to join us coming up for our Twelve weeks of Christmas challenges over on the challenge blog!  It all starts October1st, so I hope to see you there!
