Woven...

Happy Thursday,

Another card made using the press cut cut and emboss folders today and one of my favourite techniques that I haven't used in a long time ribbon weaving!


This is a simple card however the weaving is a little time consuming but great for relaxing!  I cut the Corazon cut and emboss folder in Rosa lustre print card.  Next I added a strip of ribbon, from my stash, at the top of the cut piece.  I threaded this through the aperture and taped it at the back.  Next Step is to add a piece of ribbon form the bottom making sure it is slightly over form the first piece.  I repeated this alternating top and bottom until I have 4 pieces of ribbon 2 from the top going into the aperture and 2 form the bottom again going into the aperture.


The next step is to add ribbon form the right hand side I threaded this between the 4 pieces in the centre taping the piece under the aperture on the left.  I then repeat the process this time from the left threading in and out taping the end under the aperture on the right.  I repeated this twice more, again alternating sides, until I have four pieces going across the aperture making the woven piece show at the side of the heart.

I finished the card using layers of white, rosa and Royal Auburn with a few stick on pearls to highlight the design.


Enjoy...

    I am curious to find out what blog system you're working with? I'm experiencing some small security problems with my latest site and I'd like to find something more safeguarded. Do you have any recommendations? Rolling Door

    That's so pretty John, but you must have the patience of a saint to fiddle about with those ribbons! I don't think I'll be doing that. Have ordered the embossing folder though. Just waiting for it to arrive. xxx

    I just love the cards! They are all so lovely. Does anyone know where I can purchase these dies? I live in the USA. I can't seem to find a personal or business email for Mr. John. There are a few dies I am so excited to purchase, but I have no idea if he has a particular retailer. If anyone can point the way for me, I would be grateful. Happy New Year to All! Blessings.
