Using Satin Ribbon to Pull Out Colors

With the wide variety of Ribbons Unlimited colors, it's easy to coordinate with the colors on your stamped images.  Jill with you today and for each of these stamped tags, I used our Satin Ribbon to the accent color on each bears' sign (Penny Black).  The bears were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers.

Holiday Tags with Jill

Looking for a fantastic holiday ribbon? Our Pumpkin Ombre ribbon fits the bill...

To create these tags, I stamped them each using Penny Black's Harmony background and Distress Paint (Barn Door and Wild Honey).  Once dry, I added Distress Inks over the top.  The areas stamped in paint acted as a resist.  My two smaller tag images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then adhered using dimensional adhesive after being colored with Copic markers and cut out. To embellish each tag I used Penny Black Creative Dies Snowflake Trio and Dancing Leaves.  Finally, I added the Ombre Ribbon to pull all of the colors together.

Holiday Tag with Jill

Hi guys, it's Jill and for today's project the beautiful blue of the Sky Blue Ombre ribbon inspired my entire color scheme!  Incorporating the pretty blue along with traditional red and green Christmas colors helps make this tag "pop."  

To create the tag, I stamped my image (Penny Black) in black ink and colored with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft markers and pastel pencils.  Three punched circles, lightly distressed with Brushed Corduroy, were added to the tag with dimensional adhesive along with the stamped sentiment! 

Our Ombre Ribbon has a gradient pattern and transitions from one color to another!

Playful Tags by Jill

One of Jill Foster's many talents include rubber stamping. For today's project, Jill created a set of stamped gift tags that couldn't be any cuter!

To embellish her tags with ribbon, Jill simply inserted one end of the ribbon through the hole in the tag, pulled both ends toward the top, then tied them together with a piece of twine. A self adhesive pearl adds a finishing touch;

Jill used our orange Dotted Ribbon and fuchsia Ombre Ribbon.

Creating gift tags with ribbon is a great way to use ribbon scraps! Join us all week for ribbon inspiration overload!

I am currently designing for several companies and working part-time at my dream role of a Social Media Director and Design Team Lead for crafting companies! I have been published in several print and online magazines and have done catalog work.  I am so excited to join the Ribbons Unlimited, Inc. Design Team and can't wait to share my projects with you.
