What makes a card interesting in your opinion? For me, it needs some depth, some texture, something that makes it stand out and take notice. Well, when I use ribbons and trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon on my cards, I know I'll always have the perfect accents to add those touches of texture, depth and personality. That's what I did for this SWEET Christmas card.
I used basic black cardstock that I layered with a deep green patterned paper. I machine stitched the papers together and then added a darling sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs. I cut the "cookies" using some old dies and I topped one with Cherry Baker's Twine and some rusty jingle bells. On the lefthand side of my card, I added a beautiful ribbon treatment.
This sweet ribbon topping started with a length of Emerald Green Gingham Ribbon that I ran down the left side of the card. Next, I tied a big pretty bow using Red Gingham Ribbon. I also tucked in some Green Bundled String, Mulberry Leaves, wool felt leaves, and a sweet topping of various Open Roses. The cookies, sentiment and ribbons were attached using lots of fabulous Scor-Tape.
