simple but effective

I've made this card for a friends 40th, used Kraft card and the tonic punch system

[sheilaj]

lovely...very country homes.

[angela]

thanks, I have a thing about rustic style cards and ornaments, I saw the Kraft cardstock and there'll be no stopping me now

[LoobyLou]

I have yet to get some of the Kraft card, but it certainly is very effective, as your lovely card shows.

I love Kraft card. I like the colour combo on your card Its lovely

It's lovely Angie. I also love the Kraft card but I don't think I've ever used it. It goes so well with the gingham ribbon

[Princess4Wiz]

That's a lovely card, Angie :D

[Granny Penny]

Very stylish. I love craft card too.

Love the way the ribbon is threaded through! Bet your friend was thrilled with it!

[budgie]

Lovely card. Another fan of craft card. Which reminds me, I got some craft paper some time ago from Craftwork cards. Wonder where it is .....

That's lovely Angie, I love the 'rustic yet pretty' look & really like how you've done the ribbon there, very different! How do you make those slits then.....? :thinking:

[Victoria]

The ribbon threading is very clever Angela. I'll have to look into that technique!

And me Victoria.....I can't sew but I'm pretty sure I could learn to thread......! LOL

Thanks for your lovely comments, the ribbon holes were made with my new TONIC PUNCH it also comes with a punch system holder that you put the punches in and lines them up perfectly, there are loads of different punches and edgers and accent punches, I'll try and find a link later, I got the whole system incl 4 large punches for £17.99 at manchester. http://www.craftydevilspapercraft.co.uk/104-tonic-studios.asp

I bought it off these people

ps I got the kraft card from the range, 50 cards and envelopes for £7.99 300gsm

[kitten_with_claws]

The ribbon threading looks like it might need a few trial runs, so as not to crease or bend the slits? One of those things that looks simple enough but with me, would probably initially result in a small pile of 'abject failures' or 'not quite good enoughs' on the floor.....! LOL

Beautiful card - not OTT, which is the type of card I love. (Not that I'm ungrateful for and handmade/homemade card!)

[angela]

If I've done it KWC anyone can, I'm so kack handed it's unbelievable

Try threading the ribbon through a bodkin needle thrn thread through the card using the bodkin.
