How's the weather? heehee

No just kidding...
 
This weeks tutorial and challenge is just that...
there is so many ways to
weather your ribbon...
So design team member Pam,
gives us just a few ideas to do just that...
 
 
If you have any other ways to 'weather ribbon' please
drop me a note, so I can try that too...
 

I just love the way this turned out...
the ribbon was just PERFECT for this application...
I got it at Dollar Tree for ...
a dollar of course...lol...
Is a Sheer Ribbon, and it comes with quite a bit on the roll...
5/8 in wide and 6 yards long...what a deal...
with it I turned on the heat gun/heat tool
and started the melting process...
I did not want to melt it to the card and for sure not burn the paper...
so you MUST be VERY CAREFUL
doing this to the ribbon...
I first made the card...
Used Stampin' Up DSP...oh this so beautiful...
too bad I did not get more...well it's not too late to get some of this
DSP at Stampin' Up...it's on the retired list from the 2012-2013 Catalog...
it's the Floral District Designer Series Paper...
oh and a Mark's Finest Paper a Heinrich Co stamp
from the Spring Flowers Stamp Set
the card is a double gate fold or double Z fold card ...
when its opened up it's got another panel of colors...
 
 
here is what it looks like opened up...
I love the belly band...
Oh yeah back to how I did the weathered ribbon..,heehee
I assembled the card and added the ribbon to the belly band...
then with the heat tool/gun
I made the ribbon start to melt...BE CAREFUL when doing this...
DO NOT BURN YOURSELF!!!
or your project...
 
Well come check out this weeks tutorial...
and give it a try...
the challenge is Weathered Ribbon...
so how do you 'weather ribbon' on your projects...
there are so many other ways to Weather your Ribbon...
Let me know if you have any other fun ways to weather ribbon...
and join in on the challenge at MFPSpeedyTV

Frame This...

It's FRIDAY...
time for a new challenge at MFPSpeedyTV
it's Challenge # 49
by design team member...Jane

This is a neat technique, thanks Jane
you can do so much with it...

Here is what I made with this tutorial...


it's so cool...you can really emphasize that special stamp or item...
you could even put something small that you want to give as a gift...
like a small charm, use some removable adhesive to the back of the charm
and put it in the frame ... what a fun idea...
I just thought of that...heehee
Maybe I will try that...lol
Anyway, it's your turn to enter the challenge
as always you do NOT have to use MFPaHc stamps
but if you do...your project counts as 2 entries...
better odd for winning...
