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 :

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).

Hey Netty-
ReplyDeleteThanx 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-

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.
ReplyDeleteI 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".

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...
ReplyDeletehttp://ToadstoolCurio.blogspot.com
Goodness all of your cards are simply precious!!!
ReplyDeleteKindest 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.
ReplyDeleteLaurence xx
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!
ReplyDeleteThat 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
ReplyDeleteHi Netty~~This is a very cute card and love that designed ribbon :) These new ones are lucious!!!
ReplyDeleteI add ribbon to most cards for eye appeal~~Either bow, knot, tails, or layer different sizes of ribbon.
Hugz
Supercute card Annette, Love the charm.
ReplyDeleteMost 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
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteThanks 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,
ReplyDeleteI 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

I'm a new follower...before this post though...haha! I love Stamp Fairy and I love ribbon! I love to tie it in knots and bows! I'm best at knots but I love bows more.
ReplyDeleteHi Netty!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
ReplyDeleteLove 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.
ReplyDeleteWhen 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
