Happy Monday to the SCT gang! Today I wanted to give you a little sneak peek of one of the projects we’ll be creating in the Pinterest inspired class called "Create the Perfect DIY Embellishments" that I’ll be teaching at several Crop & Create events this year!
Gorgeous ribbon cards of every theme and color can be found on Pinterest, but they look like they would take forever and be complicated (and messy) to create. Not so!
Check out just a few of these ribbon cards:

Pinterest link & Northwest Stamper

You don’t need a lot of fancy tools or expensive supplies to create a ribbon card - in my class we’ll create one using just one sheet of cardstock, a Xyron 5” creative station, and some scraps of ribbon. You know how much I love to show people how to use items from their stash! I had so much fun with this idea that I made my Christmas cards, then my New Year’s cards, then my Valentine’s Day cards all using this technique. You will become addicted too!
This is just one of the many techniques and fun projects we’ll create in class – I hope you’ll join me in Winnipeg, Burnaby and Ottawa for this and a whole bunch of other Pinterest inspired projects. Can’t wait to see you!
