New at SU Blog Hop- All Tied Up with Dotted Ribbon Knot Bow

 


Welcome to the NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of StampinUp! Independent Demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative paper crafting ideas to share with you and get you crafting! Today's HOP THEME: 
Tied Up with Bows.  

I choose to use the Real Red & Gold Dotted Ribbon to make a "knot bow". 


Product List
Real Red & Gold 3/8" (1 Cm) Dotted Ribbon
[162353]
$9.00

Now on Sale for just $4.50 in the US!


This card is simple. No stamping. I used the Memories & More Card Pack but the ribbon is what takes simple, to something a little more special. It adds a layer and texture! 


I even used the precut dies for the inside of the card (quick and easy card for last minute Christmas cards). 


I just LOVE the "knot bow". It is a great way to make a bow without all of the bulk and is perfect for wider ribbons. 


The secret is to use two pieces of ribbon. One to wrap around the paper and one to make the knot bow! It allows you freedom to slide it where ever you want it to go! 

This is just one idea on how to use Stampin' UP!'s ribbon! For more ideas keep on "hopping" through the blogs with Crafter's Northwest up next!
