Hello there! Welcome to the weekend! It’s the fourth Saturday of the month, which means that this week’s challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown will feature an embellishment or a technique. Louise, our challenge hostess, has chosen to showcase ribbons and bows as embellishments.
I decided to ruffle some seam binding for my ribbon embellishment. I hadn’t done that for a while. I have to confess that I got kind of stuck on the ribbon idea and forgot about including a bow. Oopsie! This is just a simple card, really, that lets the designer paper do a lot of the work. The poinsettia print is from the Basic Grey “Nordic Holiday” paper pad, which just happens to be one of the items I’ll be giving as blog candy… see the post on my home page here for more details on that. The layout is one of the OWH Stars and Stamps sketches that I’d missed out on back when it was introduced.
Go hop over to the 52{C}CT blog to see what the rest of the design team has created. Then get your creative gears going and make a Christmas card featuring a ribbon and a bow and share it with us using the linky tool provided at the 52{C}CT site. We’d love to see what you create!
Supplies:
Stamps: Happiest of Holidays (Stampin’ Up)
Cardstock: Naturals White, Kraft, Cherry Cobbler (SU); designer paper from Nordic Holiday 6″ x 6″ paper pad (Basic Grey)
Ink: Cherry Cobbler (SU)
Other: Cherry Cobbler seam binding (SU)

Stunning background paper Patricia, love the ruffled ribbon too – Jacqueline xx
The ruffle ribbon is just gorgeous and I love the paper you’ve used – beautifully traditional with the red and green poinsettias! Fab!
I love the way that this week’s challenge has inspired such different cards from the DT, yours is so elegant and rich in it’s colours. I’ve never tried ruffling my ribbon, but after seeing this I think I should give it a try. The DP is gorgeous.
