Ribbons To Weave Love...

I took the Ribbon Challenge from the LNS ladies and decided to make Ribbon 'Brads' of sorts... punched a hole thru the layered, embossed, hearts and then tied the ribbon into little knots - I then thread the ends in.. the knot being the 'brad'....
I did the Ribbon 'Brads' thru the lil flowers on the Heart...

From BEHIND... I then SNAIL adhesive the ends down...

The TOP view... the lil accent of the Ribbon 'Brad' really adds something, don't you think??

I really like the Black and White Gingham ribbon accent as the 'brad'

I like the Woven Ribbon Accent and the Ribbon Brads... This is the top view... and I love the 'Feel' of the card - the TEXTURE of it all... yummy..

The END Result... A Woven LOVE card... and the Hubby LOVES it... who knows - he may just receive it at his office.. wonder what the girls in his office will say... he, he, he..

The 411:

Hi gang.. I started to mull over this Late Night Stamper's Ribbon Challenge and this was the Result... what do you think??

I started off using our great Grid paper and scotch tape.. I started with the Black Ribbon and alternated every other line (1/2 inch increments) and then moved on to the Red Ribbon. I went to the other of the paper. The scotch tape and then the Red Ribbon on EVERY box/line...

After the taping and lining up of the ribbon I then used the Scotch Tape Holder to hold BACK the red ribbon and with the top ribbon down - each line - I laced and wove the Red Ribbon, alternating each line on the Black Ribbon. The result = A Woven fabric piece out of ribbons. While the Scotch tape held down each side I used our SNAIL adhesive and adhesived lines where the ribbon would lay (like a box of adhesive and a line thru the middle) and wiggled it under the ribbon that was Scotch Taped down... it went on smoothly, in it's completed piece (except for one lil line of ribbon - easily fixed).

(This was NOT a 10 Minute Card.. ha, ha, ha)

Then I Heat Embossed the White Words on the card, the Heart on a Red and White paper.. cut them out and layered them. I thought it needed more... humm, a Brad??

As I punched holes in it - I thought, RIBBON... so I tied lil knots in the ribbon and cut them apart. Threading them thru the holes I used our SNAIL adhesive to hold the ends down. I finished it off with Stampin' Dimensionals to continue the raised feel of it all... and BAM.. 'twas done.

I hope you feel all warm, woven and loved... To the Ribbon Challenge... smooches!!
