Hello
Ribbons Unlimited friends. I’m here to share with you a layout I created
combining some grosgrain ribbon with washi tape. We all know that there are one
hundred ways to use washi tape on its own but I noticed is that if you want it
have a little more ‘body’ in your project, it needs to be adhered to a stronger
foundation. Hence a plain grosgrain ribbon to the rescue. You not only add some
flair to an otherwise plain ribbon but you also add great designs that washi
tapes are so popular for.
1. For this
page, I started with a mint green cardstock and then cut up white cardstock
that measured 11” x 11 ½” and adhered that to my double page spread
foundation. I then cut out a circle from
orange pattern paper (I chose that color to resemble the sun) *If you don’t
have a circle cutter, a plate would work just fine.
2. I then
assembled my page with the papers and pictures. Glue the elements to the page.
With the orange circle shape, only adhere the center of the paper to the
layout. This enables us to slip in the “sunburst” later on without having to
worry about adhesive.
3. Adhere the washi tape over the grosgrain
ribbon, centering it over the trim.
4. Cut the
ends into a notch. Repeat till you have
at least 4 small (about 2” long) strips of the ribbon/washi tape trim.
5. Insert
them under the circle paper. You can create a pattern (like I did) or make it
random.
6. When you’ve
completed your sunburst pattern, adhere part of the trim underneath the paper
with glue dots.
7. Secure
the trims around your paper by adding machine stitching to the inside edge of
the circle paper.
8. Add some
embellished canvas tags by adding some ribbon to the top.
9. Add a chevron
design on the tags with a stencil and some mist. Add more embellishments to
create a finished look. Hand write your journaling.
Here are
some more close up pictures of the layout…
I love how
the yellow grosgrain ribbon added cohesiveness to the sunburst even though
there are multiple patterns and colors.
I hope my
project inspired you to combine your ribbons and washi tape together.
Happy
Creating,
Grace
