Crafty Ribbons Easter Celebrations

Hello Everyone!  Welcome to another instalment of Crafty Ribbons Easter Inspiration!

http://craftyribbonsinspiration.blogspot.co.uk/

What have I got for you today?  A layout using the French Stamp ribbon.

I made a few chevrons... This is a good way to use up little bits of grosgrain ribbon


I tucked in a few word stickers, they kind of look like tabs.


 Made the layout title from the ribbon.


And finally made a little loop of ribbon tucked under the photo


Put it all together and this is what I made...


The filigree patterned lilac square and purple rectangle are the side and lid of a biscuit packet!  (M&S I believe, can't be sure though!)  I think these count as snippets (plus the ribbon chevrons cut from an end too short to be useful for anything else) - so I'm linking this up to the Playground.

    Yes biscuit packets works for me. I have just cut the sides off a cardboard packet that had pies in as it was too good to throw in the bin. Surprising what you can recycle. Hugs Mrs A.

    I would have been here yesterday but was a bit busy, so here I am today! You have some great ideas and this is one of them Laura. My favourite colour combo at the moment is purple with lime green.

    What a beautiful page - I love the design and the neat way you cut the ribbon - fabulous idea! My favorite colour combo to work with is pink and green. I think I could make every single card pink and green but I force myself to use other colours LOL. Have a great day and thanks for a chance to win your lovely candy!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
