Here, ribbon takes center stage as it fills in the negative space in the large Maple Leaf punch. I mixed and matched a few different fall-colored and textured ribbon scraps from my scrap pile and attached them to span the open space.I framed the panel by stamping the "a time for thanks" sentiment from the Autumn set (available on October 15) from Clear & Simple Stamps repeatedly around the edge of the kraft panel. It took me a few practice squares to get the placement (close to) right. It's not exact but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Materials Used:
Autumn stamp set (Clear & Simple Stamps); Chocolate Chip Classic ink, Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, and Kraft cardstock, Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, dimensionals (Stampin' Up!); Maple Leaf punch (EK Success); Swiss Dot embossing folder (Cuttlebug); orange grosgrain ribbon, orange dotted grosgrain ribbon, brown satin ribbon (Michaels); brown velvet ribbon (American Crafts); circle die (Nestabilities)
What a fantastic idea for using ribbon scraps ... I'm going to have to try this technique myself ... ♥ it.
