How do you use ribbon on your cards?

I love to use ribbon on my cards!!!

I use it as accents, borders, etc.

Here is just one way that I love to use ribbon:


I used double sided sticky tape and ran it down the length of my card 
and then pleated the ribbon.
Finally, I added the center accent part with dimensionals!

Supplies:
Cherry Cobbler Ribbon
Merry Little Christmas
White embossing powder
Versamark ink
rhinestones
Silver Glimmer Paper
Apothecary Accent Dies
Whisper White Cardstock

Check out my post here to see another way that I used ribbon!

Color Coach

Do you know what the Color Coach is?

One of my favorite tools that Stampin' Up! sells...
It is a color combination tool, where it gives you each color that Stampin' Up! offers and on the back it gives you 2 different color combos using the color you choose!

Why do I love it?
It saves me so much time!
I wanted to create a quick card for fall using a non-fall color scheme.
I grabbed my coastal cabana card and fell in love with this color combo!
Coastal Cabana
Pumpkin Pie
Crushed Curry
