Hand Dyed Wrinkled Seam Ribbon...

Hi Ladies,

Look what I did! I'm so excited because I'm in love with wrinkled ribbon and I found a cheap way to have all the colors that I want. I followed Tammy Tutterow's Tutorial and I love the result! The possibilities are endless and you can distress or dyed the ribbon with so many products like: Distress Ink, Tattered Angels Mist, Ex-Pearls, SU reinkers, etc... Your imagination is the limit!

I just dyed a few yards with different colors to see the effect but now that I loooove the result I will be playing with more combinations. I bought 2 HUG SNUG White spools of 100 yards each from this seller on eBay. The delivery was super fast and now you can see that from just white plain ribbon I have a lot of new colors. I wish you can see how sparkling they are because the pictures don't give them justice. In this occasion I used some of my Tattered Angels Mist.




I hope you all will try this technique, is so easy and fun... but if you prefer purchasing the ribbon already dyed, I highly recommend this store in Etsy. She has gorgeous colors and the customer service is A+

Hugs,
LIM

More Christmas cards....

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I'm blogging much lately but as you can see I have been busy doing some Christmas cards. I will take a vacation in a few weeks and I will not be able to make any cards or projects, that's why I'm trying to finish what I still have pending.

These are the latest cards that I made... For all the cards I used Cosmo Cricket and October Afternoon Paper. The coloring is made with Distress Inks from Tim Holtz and the beautiful ribbon is from Prairie Bird Boutique

Card#1 is my favorite so far, not only for the stamp but for all the glitter and the combination of colors. I hope you like it. The stamps that I used are from Magnolia and the sentiment is from SU. For the edge I used a small Stempelglede stamp.

Card#2
Stamps: Whimsie Doodles (Digital) and the sentiment is from SU.
