~Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style – Pleats/Ruffles~

October 8th, 2011 by

Welcome to today’s Ribbon Inspiration challenge brought to you by Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.   You should have arrived here from Deb Saaranen’s Blog.  If not, you may want to start back on   Sharon Johnson’s blog, in order to find out just how you can be eligible for the beautiful candy that you see above.

This week our product/ribbon focus is on Pleats and Ruffles.

I can honestly say this is my first experience with the pleated ribbon and OH MY!!  It is lovely!  It has a bit of elasticity to it as well, which allows you to make your pleats close together or farther apart.

Here is my simple Christmas card:

While I love non-traditional Christmas colors, I am just so soothed by the traditional colors, too!  Ok, let’s face it, I just love Christmas :).

Here are my details:

Stamps:  JustRite Stampers’ Christmas Nested Sentiments

Colors: GP White, Maroon, Bo Bunny Father Christmas dp

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories: 5/8″ Satin Pleat ribbon (burgandy), Fancy Labels Two, Label 1 nesties, 1/2 pearls (colored with copic), corner rounder, Holiday Celebration Poinsettia

***** Items highlighted above are provided by Stamp Simply Ribbon Store *****
