LARGE RIBBON SPOOL...............FREE FILE

So most people who know me KNOW that I LOVE RIBBON............skinny, fat, dark, light, pattern, plain......whatever......I LOVE IT ALL.........

Recently I posted on facebook that if anybody wanted to TRUST me I would do a little RIBBON SHOPPING for them. There is this store about 1/2 hour from me that has some of the most pretty ribbon and it is only $1.00 A YARD.....

I had a few girls take me up on the offer so a SHOPPING I WENT....I think I pretty much clean the store out. It isn't a ribbon store, so I took a lot of their inventory...No need to worry the clerk told me though because they are placing a new order soon............CAN WAIT TO SEE THE NEW STUFF...

ANYHOO.........as much as I LOVE RIBBON, I love to package things up kind of pretty (smile)...so I decided first since they allowed me to be their shopper of 10 yards - which I through in a few more ribbons I wanted to package them using the RIBBON SPOOL SET from The Cutting Cafe...

I started with this: - I took the front of the SPOOL BOX and enlarged it to 10 inches.

The yummy paper is from the PAPER STUDIO - I got the pad from Hobby Lobby...LOVE IT
I cut them out first in chipboard then I covered the fronts and backs with the pattern paper.

Next I just started wrapping the assorted ribbons on the spool:

 I also added the I LOVE TO CREATE circle tag from the Cutting Cafe.

 Then I just topped it off with a mini wooden spool that I think I got from Michael's. I have been buying lots of pretty fabric lately - I just cut the fabric in strips and wrapped around the spools.  A little something some of you may not know - I use to back in the day have a business in which I made fabric stickers and fabric ribbon hence why my email address is fabriccutups@prodigy.net....at the very bottom of this post is a card I did a long time ago using some of my FABRIC CUTUPS...hum maybe I will bring that business back...(smile)

 

 I still have a few more to wrap, but for now the ones that are done are sitting in this cute little tin basket I bought from Marshall's.

SOOOOOOOOOOOO I am in the RAK MOOD......if you would like the LARGE RIBBON SPOOL,

click on the link at the very bottom of my FABRIC CUTUPS CARD......it is free until, well FOREVER.........(smile)

Oh yeah if you want to take a look at the full set, click here....it is a fun set called RIBBON SPOOL SET.

It is perfect for giving your crafty friends some yummy jute and ribbon ......

here are 2 cards I made YEARS ago with FABRIC STICKERS....

OKAY ENOUGH OF THAT............CLICK BELOW FOR THE FREE RIBBON TEMPLATE -it comes in PDF, SVG, MTC and WPC formats....

HANDMADE EMBELLISHMENT GOODIES

Hello everyone...........

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

We have an overcast here today in California and I LOVE IT....

Today I wanted to share a recently released set from the Cutting Cafe called HANDMADE EMBELLISHMENT BOX.

This box is perfect for adding some handmade crafting goodies in it and it is perfect to hang on one of those clip it hangers or if you own a store to hang in your store.

I have a friend that can't seem to make the perfect bows (although I think her bows are fine) so I thought I would send her these.

 These 3d hearts were made using the LAYERED STITCHED HEART SET.

We are also featuring this set over ON OUR INSPIRATIONAL WEDNESDAY at the Cafe's blog. Come on by and check out all of the other awesome projects using this set.
