15 Ways to Use Straight Ribbon Day 14

Thanks for shopping by again.  Only one more day after this. Today’s post is short and sweet because I am seriously behind on some stuff in my house!
Before we move onto today’s idea,  let me just hand out a little digital product literature to you LOL. 
Have you seen my Instant Ribbon Templates??? (LOL).




To thank everyone for their interest in this series and making it the best read series ever posted in my blog, you can get 40% off this product in my store with coupon code RIBBONS40OFF.  Product available HERE.



Obviously I think they’re really cool because I’ve been blogging about how to use them for 2 straight weeks.  And honestly the only other thing I’ve done consistently, without interruption, for the past 14 days is feed my family and have my morning coffee.  So this product MUST be GOOD, right?
I thank you very much for buying it at christinesmith.net and that’s all I’m going to say about that.  Well, actually, once more: THANKS for supporting my designs!

Today’s idea is easy, kind of basic but really fun.  It’s just making a mat of a bunch of different ribbons to go behind a frame or photo.



You can get a really colorful layout this way.  If the kit you are using doesn’t have enough ribbons to execute this idea then of course I would recommend you buy my Instant Ribbon Templates to round out your collection!

You could also mix in laces, and rick-racks and strings. You can choose colors out of your kit or out of your photo.  If you go with something really colorful like my example, you can make it into the theme of your page, using a title that talks about color or even rainbows.  This would be cute for so many page themes!

In the sample, I’ve trimmed each ribbon at slightly random angles for a little bit of realism and for the edges to feel a little dynamic.  Thanks for reading and be sure to come back for the last post in this series!
