Color Inspiration #4 Round-up
|
|
Hi all! I used this week's Color Inspiration Challenge as a jumping off point for the cards for my monthly card club. So, these are the two cards we'll be making tomorrow night.
For the first card, I weaved Chocolate Chip wide grosgrain and wrapped the edges around a 2x2 piece of card stock. I thought it looked so awesome! The idea occurred to me earlier today so I just had to try it. What do you think?
And on to the first 25 cards left in the comments of yesterday's entry...

Love the weaving of the ribbon, very seat belt or lawn chair-ish. Totally spring! Thanks for putting my card on your blog I feel like a celebrity today!!
Hello
Weaving looks Fantastic...will give that a go myself..thanks.
love all the cards...cant view the middle card first row on the left...?
I LOVE THE WEAVING!!! You are so stinking creative it blows my mind...I'm obsessed with the choc chip grosgrain! Thanks for a great color challenge...I hope to do 2-4 this weekend (I did 1 for a birthday about 2 weeks ago!)
Kristina,
I love the woven ribbon - I think I have seen this somewhere and I have always kept it in the back of my mind to try it out some time. You card club sounds so fun!
I can't believe you are doing all this work with your hurt leg! What dedication! :-)
Feel better!
I never thought to weave the ribbon..how clever!! I usually just weave cardstock. It's cute and reminds me of a shreddie...mmm now I need to buy a box for brekky!!
I love the cards. You give me so many ideas.(I'm not so very creative in mind). Thanks.
I love the woven ribbon, Kristina. What a beautiful idea! Can't wait to try it!
Love to check out the blog and the colour inspirations, think about us out of usa thought, the first 25 were posted before we get up, maybe chose a certain number of the ones posted to show in the round up.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, the clean weaving of the ribbon. Only ever tried it with paper strips to frame scrapbooking. Your cards are just so crisp! TFS. Thanks for doing all this work when you're not feeling all that well. Blessings, Amy.
Hey Kristina, that card looks awesome with the basket weave like that! Do you think you can use that for MACM?.... I'd love to learn how it is done.
It totally inspires me for the ring-bearer pillow at my upcoming wedding.
I love these cards, the woven card is fantastic.
Wow the weaving is sooo cool! Did it take a long time to do??
Wow - these look great. That picture was awesome. I'm too late for the challenge, but did create a card inspired by it if you'd like to check it out. www.stampincreations.blogspot.com
Thanks!
I love the woven ribbon card! I thought about doing that for Splitcoast's Stacked Ribbon challenge (TLC163) but I guess the idea died of loneliness. :)
Hope you are feeling better!
I love your works with ribbon.
Fabulous !!!!
(sorry for my English but I'm French)
Hey Kristina,
Oh boy! Oh boy! YOU'VE WON A MAJOR AWARD!! Check out my blog for details:

I love both of these cards! Great job!
I love these cards they are so awesome! You should do the ribbon one for MACM!
wow!!! Lots of great cards here. Kristina, that ribbon is perfectly put together...I can't even believe how perfect it looks!!!
I also love the woven ribbon and agree that it would make a great MACM technique! Hope your leg is feeling better. The one time I went on a cruise, I got a strange rash on my leg while in Jamaica -- not nearly as painful as your hematoma sounds, but equally yucky looking!
Love the cards - the weaving is terrific. Hope your leg is better very soon!
What a fab idea weaving the ribbon. I am going to have to try it!
Great job
Very cute cards...love the woven grosgrain. I'll have to try that! I have a question...how do you get such great pictures of your cards and pages? Do you have a special light? Do you have your camera set up a certain way? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Also, did I see that you have a sister named Marisa? How fun is that? It's not a common name...believe me. :-)
The ribbon weaving is FAB-U-LOUS!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Love your cards! The ribbon is super cute!
Hey Kristina - I was admiring your cards and noticed that somehow on the card with the woven ribbon, you managed to get the ivory ribbon around the card even though the fold is on the side. How did you do that? Did you cut a slit in the fold to feed the ribbon through?
Are there any other stamps sets that you designed with Stampin Up and where would we find them?
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing, I'm going to have to try it!
Yes, the weaving was divine inspiration! Love the cards.
