Decorative Fall Basket with Steph!

Good morning everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with a Fall basket that I've taken from drab to fab thanks to some pretty ribbons from Ribbons Unlimited.

I've added ribbon to the handle and edge of the basket then attached a ribbon bow.

This is the original basket - pretty but plain.

I placed fabric glue along the edge of the basket and adhered  Cream Nylvalour Ribbon.  Then, I placed it along the handle of the basket.  At 3/16" wide, it fit perfectly along the edge and the handle as a perfect accent. 

I created a bow using Soft Moss Lyon French Wired Ribbon.  This pretty ribbon appears almost two toned when turned into a bow.

And there it is a very quick and easy way to dress up a basket.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Baby Scrapbook Layout by Jamie L.

Hey everyone,

Jamie here! Today I have a scrapbook layout to share with you all. These are some pics of my youngest at the hospital being held by her Uncle Aaron (my husbands brother). For my layout I used a lot of scrap papers, my silhouette cameo to make the title, but most importantly some fantastic Nylvalour Velvet Ribbon in coral (2" wide) from Ribbons Unlimited Inc.

I'd like to show you all how I used the ribbon on this layout, I tried to go outside the box a little. I have a quick picture tutorial. I hope you enjoy it.

I cut a portion of ribbon about 3-4inches long. I then flipped the ribbon over and free handed a shape on the back in white gel pen (in this case an arrow).

I then cut the arrow out with scissors.

After the arrow was cut I used the scraps to make little banners and another arrow.

Simple but super cute and it gives the page some texture and softness. I really like it and I hope you do too!

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!

Baby Shower Party Favors by Steph Ackerman

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with my first post for Ribbons Unlimited.   I'm so excited to be working with the lovely ribbons at Ribbons Unlimited Inc.

I found some unusual glass jars recently and thought they'd be fabulous for party favors.   I began by using etchall dip 'n etch to frost the jars. 

Next, I  tied Sky Blue Ombre Ribbon around the bottles.  This beautiful ombre ribbon is 1 1/2" wide and is the perfect size for these bottles.  I tied another piece around the knot for more dimension.

Around the rim of the cap, I've adhered Cream Nylvalour Velvet Ribbon.   At 3/16" of inch, it's the perfect size to fit around the rim. 

I stamped the sentiments on white cardstock, matted them with black cardstock and then tied them to the ribbon with some twine.

There you have it - quick and easy party favors that anyone would love.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello Card and Flower Tutorial by Jamie Cripps

Good morning!  Can you believe we are almost at the end of August?  Crazy.  It's Jamie back with you today sharing a bright and cheerful card and a tutorial so you can recreate it too!

For this card I am using the Citron Velvet Nylvalour 7/8" and

the Hot Pink Double-Ruffled 7/8" ribbons!

Here is the tutorial:

1.  Cut a 6" piece of the Hot Pink Double Ruffle Ribbon

2.  Cut a 22" piece of the Citron Velvet Nylvalour 

3.  Tie a knot with the Hot Pink Double Ruffle around the Citron Velvet ribbon as shown.

4.  Trim off the ends of both ribbons so you only have the knot remaining.  This will be the center of our flower.

5.  Use a 2" Gluber (you can also use label paper or hot glue) and place the knot in the center.

6.  Begin wrapping the ribbon around itself, twisting slightly as you go but make sure you have the velvet facing up at all times.

7.  Your flower should look like this when finished.

8.  Next gather your supplies for your card.  I have two pattern papers, a card base and another 30" piece of the hot pink ribbon.

9.  Cut your main pattern paper to 4"x 5" then tie a bow around the center.

10. Next adhere your flower to the right side of the bow as shown.

11. Cut a 4" x 1-1/4" strip from your second patterned paper and punch the edge with a border punch.  Add adhesive to the top portion.

12.  Glue the piece under the bottom of the main pattern paper.

13.  Then glue the piece on to the front of the card base.

14.  Next add foam adhesive to the back of the wood veneer sentiment.

15.  Then add it to the card near the knot of the hot pink bow.

16.  Your finished card should look similar to this!

I love the texture and look of the Velvet Nylvalour for the flower!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
