Ribbons! Ribbons! What examples do you have for me?

[scrapbookaz]

I have some ribbons and ribbons, oh, here's some more ribbon and I lift up some paper and more ribbon. I want to use ribbon on my 12x12 LO, but I don't have any creativity with the boring exception of a border. UGH. Did I mention I have ribbon? Calling ALL RIBBON SCRAPPERS, I need pictures (I am a hands on, picture person - he he) of ribbons. I hope you can show me some ribbon examples, so I can use my small laundry basket of...did I mention....ribbon?




I love ribbon, but I don't know what to do with it.





Hugs all around!

Here is a layout I did last week. I cut the ribbons into short strips and then tucked the ends under the black cardstock so that it looks like the ribbon goes down to the bottom of the picture. I hope that makes sense!

I used 4 ribbons on this page, and I totally love it. Plus, check out the sketch challenge for this month because it has 2 ribbons along the bottom, plus you could put a wide ribbon along the right side too.

Pretend you don't see this - I took this out of the gallery for a pub, but put it back in just for you. This is one of the techniques CK will be featuring from this layout in October. I'll leave it in the gallery for a bit and then I better pull it. There are two images after the initial - showing a ribbon flower. The last photo shows how i prep the pieces of ribbon before flower assembly. This really looks great with ribbon wider than 3/8". I tried it with the skinnier stuff and it really does not look as good - but that is great because I needed to come up with a use for my wider ribbons that I usually don't use because of their bulk when tied in knots.

I used ribbon in this lo to tie around the tree trunk and next to the journal card. I love ribbon and have tons of it. Can't seem to resist a good buy or just a pretty ribbon that catches my eye.

I put looped ribbon under the title letters on this:

Here's some with brads and one where I wove it through eyelets:

Ha, you sound like me! I love ribbon and use it on every layout. In this layout I cut a strip of cardstock, then using my hole punch I made holes all along the one side and tied ribbon through each hole (you get to use up quite a bit).

[BeatrizS]

learned that technique from Leslie.


i just cut up a whole bunch of pieces of ribbon then lined them up with no rhyme or reason.

I tucked some under some chipboard flowers to look like leaves:





And you can also use them like little tabs:

[debamas]

i'm enjoying these ideas too.

[scrapbookaz]

Wow, you people are just amazing! I never thought you would actually give me all of these wonderful ideas. Some are as easy as pie while others are filled with a lot of thought. I would like to Thank you Cherries for your kindness and help. Trust me, I am trying this as we speak. I'm just so overwhelmed with all the responses, I.. I.. am so proud to be a part of this site. I have a new juice in my blood and I'm headed for the ribbon.


Thank you all and God Bless.



P.S. Special Thanks to all of you who shared your secrets.



Hugs
