Today we’ll begin with the winner from this past Saturday’s Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style Hop.  We were All Strung Out last week, creating with string.  You can still check out our posts here. This week the winner was chosen from Holly’s Blog, and random.org selected number 19 who is:

Mary Davis

And here’s what Mary had to say, referring to Holly’s card:

Very unique way to use string.

Here’s my card for today — I needed a thank you note:

I used the lovely papers from the Buttercup 6×6 pad by Lily Bee Designs — fun pads.

All Lily Bee Design pads can be seen here.

The card is standard A2 (5.5 x 4.25″) and fits into an A2 Clear Box.

It’s a simple card with all straight cuts at the paper cutter.

The stamp set used is Delightful and Delicious by Verve.

All coffee/tea themed items can be seen here.

And if you enjoy coffee/tea themed projects, you might enjoy our Coffee, Tea or Me Hop from a few weeks ago if you missed it.

All Verve stamps in stock can be seen here.

VersaFine Oyx Black Ink was used.

The image is popped up with 3D Foam Squares.

I used a fun new ribbon on this card, shown below.  It is 5/8″ Textured Two Tone in yellow.

A double Burlap String bow in natural and a Fairytale Rose in Teal were added.

The Original Bow Easy was used.

The inside uses the same paper pad and stamp set linked above.

All items used are available at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store, as linked.

New Ribbon in Stock

This ribbon is so fun in these fresh, spring colors.  It is 5/8″ Textured Two Tone.  It has a lovely bit of iridescent sparkle to it that isn’t captured in these photos.  It will be available in a 3 yard bundle, a 10 yard bundle or by the full spool; however, at the time of this posting it is only listed in the store in the 3 yard bundle.  I’ll get it added in the 10 yard bundle and full spool just as soon as I can — MUCH happening here today — orders to ship, eye doctor appointment and out of town visitors later in the day.
