I have a small crafting space and a lot of ribbon, and the two do not go well together! My solution is to store my Christmas ribbon on a Ribbon Carousel; that way, I can store it out of the way when I am not making Christmas cards, but this time of year it is sitting right next to me on my desk top, ready to be used!
Today's card uses Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps' Tender Thoughts Stamp Set, my current favorite set :).
The deer and the frame were stamped in Archival Black ink and die cut out. I then stamped a white piece of cs with the lower half of the frame, hand cut the mound of 'snow' and fussy cut just inside the bottom frame border. The snow was adhered to the frame and I tucked the deer behind the snow, then spritzed the whole thing with Mister Huey's Calico White Mist. I used a torn piece of muslin and linen thread to embellish my card.

ReplyDeleteDelightful group of Christmas ribbons! And a pretty card! TFS! Love the way the ribbons are so accessible and easy to view what you have... I find I utilize my stash better that way, rather than if they're tossed in a box or drawer! Out of sight, out of mind...
