Crinkle Ribbon from Kimberly Tracy at My Craft Spot

A few of the members of the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog Design Team were most generously given some gorgeous crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot's Kimberly Tracy - and challenged to use the ribbon in our creations.  I received the Neapolitan set which contains Chocolate Truffle, Vanilla Bean, and Raspberry Truffle.  This ribbon is absolutely gorgeous and I am in love with it!  In fact, after my first crinkle ribbon creation, I headed over to My Craft Spot and put in an order for more, this time selecting the Springtime package.  Kimberly shipped it immediately so I am hoping it will arrive soon.  I've got some ideas!

For this Easter card, I used Easter 2010 to cut the layers of the egg.  I used a Fiskars corner punch and also used a Cuttlebug border folder to create the embossed frame for my sentiment (which is from My Creative Time's Color Me Happy set).  I used my Raspberry Truffle crinkle ribbon around the egg and then used a bit more to tie a bow.  I inked the edges of my card and added a couple of brown pearls to finish things off.  I love the contrast of the ribbon against the kraft paper and the ribbon really draws out the pink in the egg too.

I made this next card for my husband.  Each year, I like to give him a St. Patrick's Day themed card on March 15, the anniversary of the day we first met (22 years ago!).  I used Paper Doll Dress Up for the shamrock and the hearts on it.  (I cut the shamrock in a darker shade of green and hand cut the image to create three hearts to fit inside the shamrock.)  The border was created by welding the shamrock border from PDDU with a holed border from Holiday Cakes.  The tag was cut from Plantin' Schoolbook.  I embossed the background with a Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes folder.  The tag was stamped with a sentiment from My Creative Time's I Believe in Leprechauns set, using both Versamark and then Chocolate Chip ink.  I wove some Chocolate Truffle crinkle ribbon through the holed border and tied a bow as well.  I also added some of the crinkle ribbon to the tag.

I created this shaped card with Accent Essentials.  The little frame was cut with Ashlyn's Alphabet and stamped with a clear stamp (maker unknown).  I embossed the DCWV pink patterned paper with a Cuttlebug Textile Texture folder.  I also added a punched border created with an EK Success punch.  I used Vanilla Bean crinkle ribbon around the mat and to create a double bow.  I finished things off with a button and pink pearls.
