This online shop sells my all-time favourite ribbons, like the one used on my previous post, or the card below (which is an oldie, but still one of my faves).
So when the lovely Keith at Fantastic Ribbons offered to sponsor some blog candy, I was absolutely delighted. Thanks Keith !!!
They are also launching a new range soon, and have sent me some pictures to tempt you :
The fabulous prize generously donated by Fantastic Ribbons is 4 rolls of any ribbons of your choice from the Fantastic Ribbon web site, with free postage. How Fantastic is that !!!
In order to win :

- Post a picture of the Fantastic Ribbon badge on your blog, with a link back to this specific post.
- Leave a comment on this post telling me your favourite way to use ribbons on your creations (see below)
Feel free to leave a link to a blog post if you need more space to show us your tip 'in action'. If you do leave a link to a ribbon tip in your comment, please mention and link to this giveaway in your related blog post. (no back-linking though please).
Your "ribbon tip" doesn't have to be complicated, so no-one is excluded from winning, but I just want to see something to show that you love beautiful ribbons! The idea is that we may all learn something new for using our ribbons, as well as be in for a chance to win some Fantastic Ribbons.

Probably my favorite use of ribbon is fluffy bows!! But still depends on whats going on in the card design. Thanks for the opportunity :)
This is so pretty xx
I love ribbons... and bows are my favourite embellishment on my cards and envelopes.... I love collecting ribbons of different types
Thanks for the nice comment in my blog-and the tip for this candy :) I love to use ribbons on my cards, especially on my "envelopecards", and I try to use flowers that match the colour of the ribbon :) Please join my give away too:

Hey Netty-
Thanx for the chance to win some wonderful ribbon. I posted your link to my blog. I've recently discovered using ribbon by weaving it through holes in some Nessties Dies.
Thanx-

Absolutely gorgeous Annette

I like to make bows on cards, learning how to make ribbon roses. I also will use them on tags as the hanger etc. and pieces folded in half and attach hanging down on cards or ATCs. make border on scrapbook pages.

Thanks, Susan
Oh, what a lovely candy! I really hope I'll win :o) Cause I use ribbons on nearly all my projects, as a bow or just as decorations on for example male cards. Take a look on my blog, and you'll see, I uses ribbons a lot! You'll find my blog HERE

Lovely card, Annette.
I don't use ribbon as much as I should...Wink! but everytime I use some, I love to make my bow and use my embossing gun, when the texture allows it, to make the ribbon "curly".
I add a link to you at

Oooh, ribbons! I am having a tough time deciding on my favourite way to use them, but I think it is randomly pleating and stapling for a grunged effect, maybe with an inked edge...

Goodness all of your cards are simply precious!!!
Kindest regards,
Jennifer
It's a pleasure to spread the word, Annette. Also have you seen my "black and purple" card? I mentioned you on it as I have used one of your "old" freebie.

My best ribbon tip is to buy good quality sharp scissors & keep them just for cutting ribbon. No point having the most beautiful ribbon if you don't get neat edges! Just off to post the pics no on my blog & I've just discovered I'm not a follower, I really thought I was!!! Am now though!
That card is beautiful & I have some of the same ribbon! x
Hey Netty nice candy I'm already a follower, have posted you already too. Seems i like to use mine as wraps on the front, I thought it was bows but back checked & all wraps mmm time for a change thanks for that :) Janet
Hi Netty~~This is a very cute card and love that designed ribbon :) These new ones are lucious!!!
I add ribbon to most cards for eye appeal~~Either bow, knot, tails, or layer different sizes of ribbon.

Supercute card Annette, Love the charm.
Most of the times, I used my ribbon in a bow, but sometimes I use my ribbon to close a little box or money wallet.

Hi Netty, thanks for the chance to win your amazing ribbon candy. I love fantastic ribbons too. I love all types of ribbon especially gingham and usually just wrap a piece around my card and add a bow - simple but effective. Hugs, Denise x
Hello!
Thanks for letting me know about your candy!!!
Your card is very pretty and I like the bow on it.
I love to use ribbons and love bows as well, but just to leave a tip, for masculine cards, instead of making a bow I make knots to embellish them with ribbons because I think bows are girly, but knots are perfect for boys and adult males.
Thanks for the chance and wish you a happy birthday.
I' a new follower and put your candy in my sidebar.
Hi Annette,
I am following you now. I will try to get complete the other steps in a day or two. I'm all done in today and busy tomorrow.
Thanks for commenting on my blog.
Blessings,
Teresa

Hi Netty!
I'm a new follower, glad I found you. Your card is beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win, I love ribbon. I like to use ribbon on my cards to tie around them and put bows on them.
I'm off to put your badges on my blog.
Thanks!
Linda
Hi Netty!
Love your cards, and also your freebie sentiments.
As quite a new cardmaker I've only used ribbons in two ways so far.
1) tie a bow using the Bow Maker on my Crafter's Companion Ultimate Pro - sooooo easy and gives a great result!
2) just wrapping 1 or a layer of 2 different sized and/or coloured ribbons around my card.
Thanks for the chance to win your Blog Candy - hope I'm lucky :o)

Hi Netty. Fabulous giveaway. Love your blog, will definitely have to do some more looking around. I have just become a follower and I've linked your giveaway to my sidebar.
When it comes to wide ribbon, I prefer to make my bow separately and then glue it on with a hot-glue gun. That way it turns out to be perfect no matter what. Fool Proof!
Thanks of the chance
Hugs, Rosalee
Hi Netty, thanks for the chance to win your amazing ribbon candy. I love all types of ribbon especially gingham and usually just wrap a piece around my card and add a bow
Fabulous candy Netty. I'm already a follower and I've linked you in my sidebar.
Love to use ribbons on my creations, my favourite ways atm are wide wired ribbon tied into bows and then glued on and narrow silk ribbon threaded and tied through buttons.
