I have so much going on today but just had to get this card posted early. I am issuing a challenge today in the Dare to Get Dirty event going on at Splitcoaststampers so it will be a busy, busy day/week.
I made this card last Monday for the CAS283 challenge on Splitcoaststampers. The challenge was to use little scraps of ribbon. All of my ribbon is from Stampin'Up! I cut the die cut heart out and taped all my ribbon on it. I cut off the edges after it was all taped down. Next, I used the cut out piece to tape over the ribbon. You really should cut out a smaller heart for the top, making it much easier to cover the edges of the ribbon. I didn't on this card but made another one and it was much easier. I hope all my instructions were clear as a bell. LOL
The "Thanks" from Taylored Expressions was added. I think it was a freebie I received.
I want to take time to announce the winner of my embossing folder found here: http://benzistampz.blogspot.com/2014/07/im-back-and-with-beach-card.html

I just love this ribbon heart, and it reminds me that I too have some of this SU! retired ribbon somewhere in my stash that needs to be used! I love the big "THANKS" sentiment too! Very pretty card!!
And what a wonderful Monday surprise to find my name mentioned in this post as the lucky winner of that cute embossing folder! Thank you sweet friend! I already have a few ideas for using it swirling in my head now :)
This card is awesome, Brenda! So eye catching with the colors you used. I'm lovin' it!
Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine!
Loving this ribbon heart :)
Oooh what a cool way to use ribbon!
Enjoy your challenge at Splitcoast, unfortunately I'm not a Dirty Girl :(
PS Can't believe I'm a die ahead of you LOL ;)
Such a wonderful way of using ribbons or paper pieces, Benzi! I love this card, and especially since it is a heart, and your dear heart created it. Very pretty with the white panel resting slightly on top - classy and tailored in appearance. Your cards always amaze me - wish I lived nearby so I could learn from you.
Benzi, hopefully "Life" is settling down a bit for you, and that everyone is feeling well these days. Has it been as humid for you as it has for us this year? Wow! Worse than ever! (still, at least we have not experienced any damaging weather - so I'm grateful for that).
Take care, and know that I'm thinking happy thoughts of you even when I cannot leave a comment.
hugs,

Very pretty and bright. I love it Benzi!

Really pretty, bright, Cheery card! I like to do this too. It reminds me of the Iris folding technique that I like to do so much!
Great job!
