Confessions of a Left-Brained Stamper: Ruched Ribbon

Thanks so much for stopping by to check out this week's Kitchen Sink Stamps' 10 minute design. Before I jump into it, I wanted to let you know that next Monday, Kitchen Sink Stamps will be releasing 3 new stamp sets. Look for some sneak peeks to begin popping up toward the end of the week with the full reveal on Monday, July 9.

For this week's Kitchen Sink Stamps 10 minute card design, I had fun playing with ruched ribbon. I just slapped Scor Tape on the back of my grosgrain ribbon and bunched it up any which way across the card front. One great thing about using this method to attach ribbon is that it fits smoothly into an envelope and does not require extra postage! In the Kitchen Sink Gallery the keyword for this week's design is 10MC79.

I find sympathy cards the hardest to create Lynn and yet unfortunately they are the ones that I have recently had most need of.
Your elegant designs today have re- stirred the little must-do tucked in my brain and I am going to toally steal your lovely ideas from today and create a little stash of breavement cards that I hope there will be no need of for quite some time.
I am very partial to the lovely butterfly card but then you know I have a thing about butterflies!
