R is for Ribbon

 It's time for the 11th Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge at Beccy's Place.

Day 20 - R

R is for Ribbon

... and a Ribbon trimmed card 

This cute card uses the "Merle" pre-coloured stamp and the "Twinkle Twinkle Christmas Lights" digital sentiment from the Merle digital stamp set by Beccy’s Place.  I opened the digital stamp and sentiment in Silhouette Studio, along with a fancy fold card base, a Scalloped Centre Step Card cut file (details below) and sized everything to fit.  I printed the image panel on textured cardstock and cut the card base and accent strips from textured cardstock too.  Once cut, I burnished the folds, adhered the Fairy Lights Christmas ribbon to the cardstock strips and assembled the card.

FULL details can be found HERE with the card I posted earlier,

when I first used the Fairy Lights Christmas ribbon.

I love the cheery colours and texture of the ribbon,

a perfect match for poor tangled Merle.

   

Another great thing about this fancy fold is that even though it opens

with lots of dimension, it folds flat to 5 1/2" wide x 4.25" tall

and fits inside an A2 envelope for mailing.
