Welcome to another Fantabulous Cricut challenge! I am especially excited about this week's challenge as My Craft Spot is the sponsor - a meeting of my two favourite challenge blogs! Our theme is "Rolling in Ribbon" and we are challenging you to add ribbon to your project. Please remember to use a Cricut cut as well.
I had very limited time for my project this week so kept things simple. (Things HAVE eased up and I am slowly working my way through to pay some blog visits - but life is still very busy. 'Tis the season!) I followed the same colour scheme I used last week too. I cut the frame and shadow from Elegant Edges and embossed the cream cardstock with a Tim Holtz music folder. The reindeer is from Gypsy Wanderings and I used Pop Dots to adhere it to the frame. The top portion of the mat is embossed with a Sizzix snowflakes folder. I also added two score lines to separate the embossed portion from the sentiment area. The sentiment is a stamp from My Craft Spot's "Merry Christmas" set. There are such lovely stamps and sentiments in that pack. I also used some rich Scarlet Red crinkle ribbon from My Craft Spot and added a button from my stash. To complement the button, I added some stardust Gelly Roll dots all around the reindeer. I am happy with the way my card turned out and it's already been mailed off to wish a special couple a very Merry Christmas!
I'm sure you all have a stash of wonderful ribbon and now's the time to use it! Head over to Fantabulous Cricut to link your project - and perhaps you'll be the lucky winner of some ribbon from My Craft Spot!
(I haven't entered a challenge in ages so am also going to link this up at Scrappy Moms Stamps where the challenge is Christmas.)
