Mother's Day and a ribbon awakening

Thanks to fellow Demo Cindee Wilkinson I can say that I appreciate Stampin' UP! Flock Together Designer Series Paper.  This card is CASEd from one Cindee created for a Stamp A Rama her upline's group holds.  

This is my first experience with good quality ribbon and it is a world of difference from that .99 spool stuff the big box craft stores sell.  Trust me when I say if price is a consideration (and in this economy when isn't it?) try one spool of a neutral color of quality ribbon and feel the difference.

As for the specifics of the card: Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, and Certainly Celery Cardstock, 5/8" Certainly Celery grosgrain ribbon, large oval punch, scallop oval punch, computer titling, and diamond jewel embellishment.

  2. This is a beautiful card - I love the springtime colors... very fresh and fun! You are so right about SU ribbon. It's really great quality stuff and the amount you get on a spool can't be beat!

  5. Beautiful card! I so agree about the ribbon thing. Most of what I have picked up in dollar bins is now in the art center in my kindergarten classroom!

  6. Great job with the DSP! I've been eyeing it for a while and I may just have to have it now!! I also know what you mean about the ribbon! SU! is always quality and you get a huge spool for the price! You can't beat it!

  8. Ooooo, Ben-this is wonderful! I don't (yet, lol) have this paper, but I really like how you've used it! Great layout & I like how you layered the punches. You are SO RIGHT about the ribbon! Also, if you get the white ribbons there are so many ways to dye them to match. Fabulous card!
