A Give away and an exciting new Magnolia Only Challenge ..

Happy New Year everyone!

We are making some small changes to our challenges here at The Ribbon Girl - first of all, the card challenge on the 1st Sunday in the month and the colour challenge on the 3rd Sunday in the month will remain open for only one week instead of two weeks.  Also, we are very excited to announce that we are starting a new Ribbon Girl Magnolia Only challenge which will take place on the last Sunday in the month - our very first Magnolia Only challenge begins on Sunday 27th January and we will have some super prizes including Magnolia stamps, Ribbon Girl Vouchers and other goodies from The Ribbon Girl online store.

 

 

Andrea and I plus many of the  Ribbon Girl DT ladies love using Tilda and Edwin stamps and we know there are lots of you out there who like to use them so what better way to showcase all of our creations than to enter our new challenge!

 

We've got some super talented and well known crafters on our new Magnolia Only Design Team including:

Andrea G

Astrid

Becky

Bev

Dawny P

Debbie

Jane J

Katie K

Mel

Sara

Teresa 

Tiets

 

To celebrate the new changes here at the Ribbon Girl blog we have a great giveaway to see in the New Year.

 

We recently discovered these fabulous card boxes from Stella Crafts, as most of our Magnolia cards and projects feature flowers and other 3D embellishments we always need boxes to put them in and these are fabulous, you just fold them along the scorelines, no need for glue! Today we are giving away one pack of 25  6inch square greetings card boxes kindly donated by Rod from Stella Crafts.  Stella offer a huge range of boxes and card blanks in various sizes plus numerous other card products all at reasonable prices, well worth a visit

Tracy used sweetheart blossoms, flat lace, blue silky crush, clear crystal leaves, white rose organza

 

 

 

By DT Becky

Becky added white tiny pom pom, pearls, 20mm open roses, hip buds and lily flowers

 

By DT Tiets
Tiets used candy canes, seam binding, rusty bells, lace and pearls

 

 

Andrea and I made some very pretty napkin rings using double sided sticky tape, a strip of acetate, a short length of 6-row faux diamante mesh, a silver jingle bell and a length of silver twine - we popped in a red/white candy cane to add a splash of festive colour!  These pretty rings could easily be adapted for all sorts of celebations, weddings and so on an they are inexpensive and quick to make.

 

 

 

Good luck guessing the number of charms in the jar and I'll be back tomorrow!
