Silk Ribbon Blog Candy Hop!

May Arts Silk Ribbon has been a long time favorite product at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and I don’t think that’s been any secret! We know many of you love using silk ribbon as well, and to make it a bit easier in color selection and to take the guesswork out of it, Michelle has prepared a color chart for us to use. She compares May Arts Silk Ribbon colors to both Stampin’ Up and A Muse Studios cardstock colors.  I think you’ll enjoy these color charts and find them very useful. Thank you so much, Michelle, for your time and effort in this project! (See charts at the end of the post)

The design team has some projects to show you today, as well as some fabulous SILK RIBBON BLOG CANDY, so be sure to read completely to the end of the posts to see the projects and learn about the blog candy offerings.

Ribbon Inspiration...

Today I'm showcasing a fun product from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. I was excited to play with three kinds of netting in a variety of scrumptious colors and weave sizes. For my first project, I used the large sized netting/webbing and had fun creating this Halloween card. I used Spellbinders™ Nestabilities Nested Tombstones and the tree branch from Mix'd Media Elements.

Share this on Pinterest!

To create the background for my card, I laid 3 pieces of the large netting/webbing onto lavender cardstock, then sprayed the surface with Smooch Spritz Frosted Grape and Navy Twinkle. I removed the webbing then sponged Memento Tuxedo Black in the upper left and right corners, then across the bottom for my ground.

For my second project, I created a darling flower pencil and notepad set using the medium sized netting in blue, lavender and white. I cut strips of the netting in graduated sizes, folded it in half and cut petals, then glued them to a small punched circle. I added a cute button secured with Grape Burlap String, then wrapped green netting around the pencil.

My patterned paper for the notepad is Prima's Meadow Lark and my sentiment is from JustRite Papercraft's Antique Autumn Tags One, and I finished with White Silk Ribbon and Kaisercraft Ice Blue Rhinestones.

 For my last project I created a Wedding Bouquet using the fine netting as filler amongst roses made from Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities® Spiral Blossom One.

I cut lengths of ivory, pink and green netting and secured them with floral pins into the bouquet holder. I added Satin String Leaves, ivory tulle and ivory silk ribbon.

I added pretty Venise Lace (coming soon to The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store) around the circumference of the bouquet and finished it off with pretty ivory satin ribbons and sprigs of pearls.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store carries a versatile collection of supplies for your papercrafting needs from Spellbinders dies, JustRite Papercraft stamps and other stamps, Ribbons of all textures, styles and thicknesses, beautiful papers from a multitude of companies and lots of fabulous embellishments.

JustRite Papercraft August Release - Day 4

Today for the August release by JustRite Papercraft, we are showcasing another stamp set called Samantha Walker Botanical Swirls Labels which coordinates with Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities® Botanical Swirls and Accents.
