Faux Ribbon Technique for Handmade Cards
June 12, 2021
Today's post features an easy technique for creating faux ribbon for your handmade cards. This was one of the very first techniques that I learned when I first began my journey with paper crafting and cardmaking. On a recent Facebook live, I demonstrated this technique and found that several viewers had never tried or seen this technique. This led me to take a clip from the video and share it with all my viewers.
Let's take a look at this simple technique to create faux ribbon using a Bone Folder [102300] and some cardstock strips.
Lisa's Inklings:
-Strips of cardstock should be cut 3/8 to 5/8 for best results to create the faux ribbon.
-Run the side edge of the Bone Folder [102300] along the cardstock strip at least twice.
-Separate the layers slowly and carefully.
-Use Mini Glue Dots [103683] to make the bow.
-Try this technique on a larger piece of cardstock to create a fun textured layer for your handmade cards.
This card was made with minimal supplies including stamps, ink, and paper. For cardmaking and paper crafting, basic tools/supplies are also needed which include Paper Trimmer [152392], Bone Folder [102300], Paper Snips [103579], and adhesives such as Multipurpose Liquid Glue [110755] and Mini Glue Dots [103683].
