T onight I demonstrated the Faux Ribbon Technique and we created two cards. I saw this technique a couple weeks ago and fell in love. It looks complicated, but really, it's not. The most important to know is how to place the Designer Series Paper, and use a 1/2" piece of cardstock as a spacer.
Project Recipe
Dimensions:
7" x 5-1/2" Mossy Meadow Cardstock scored at 4-1/4"
Basic White: 5-1/4" x 4"; 8-1/2" x 3" for stamping; 5-3/8" x 2-5/8"
Basic Black: 5-3/8" x 1-5/8"
Merry Merlot: 5-1/4"x 1-1/2"
*At the time of this posting I had lost access to my TAMS. The supplies can be found at https://mystampinstuff.com/recipe.cfm?enc_project_id=IyMgLyEK
Use the Mossy Meadow to create the card base.
Stamp the greeting and image on the white cardstock that is for the inside (if desired) and
adhere to the inside of the card.
Using white cardstock, stamp the Pumpkin and the flowers (twice), and the greeting using Black
Ink.
Let the ink dry a few minutes before continuing to the next step.
Using the Stampin’ Blends, color the flowers and the Pumpkin as desired.
Die cut the images using the coordinating dies and the Beautiful Shapes dies for the greeting.
Cut 2-1/2” x 1⁄2” Designer Series Paper of two different patters; six each, and a separate 3-3/4” x 1⁄2” for the greeting.
Cut a 3” x 1⁄2” piece of white cardstock to use as a spacer.
Begin laying the first strip at a diagonal using the darkest color. Keep in mind the orientation of
the designer series paper if it is directional. You can see this on my YouTube video (https://youtu.be/B2avHqwB7ZQ) at about 2 minutes in.
The strip should be long enough to hang off on both sides (we’ll cut those later.)
Hold the white 1/2:” spacer directly below it and add the next strip of DSP using the same color.
Remove the white spacer.
Repeat this step down the cardstock.
Start the second set (lighter color DSP) going the opposite direction. You can see this
demonstrated at 5:26 in the YT video.
Attach the Merry Merlot cardstock to the black cardstock. Adhere the layers to the card.
For the greeting:
Add the strip of DSP to the bottom of the card front, and using Dimensionals, attach the
greeting.
Lay out the flower die cuts and adhere as desired.
Adhere the Pumpkin using Dimensionals.
Finish the card using the Amber gems.
TA-DA!
