Creative Ribbon Technqiues

Design by Erin Clarkson

Perfect for holidays and birthdays, use ribbon to mimic the look of presents on a layout. Small bows tied on squares of cardstock look like gifts waiting to be opened. Use hinges to allow the bottom portion of the layout to flip up and reveal more in-depth journaling and additional photos.

Stickers: Fiskars (green strip, red tab), Little Yellow Bicycle ("love," stars). Ribbon, metal accents: Making Memories. Ink: ColorBox by Clearsnap. Chipboard accents, trimmer: Fiskars.
