Challenge #1 - Flower Ribbon Card - By CeCe
This is a simple ribbon card. I made a template for a simple flower that you will “thread” ribbon through to make the flower. The pink flower part and the leaf stem uses 7/8” ribbon, and the flower stem uses ¼” ribbon.
First cut out the rectangle with the flower template. Using whatever ribbon you like first thread the small ribbon through the stem. I cut my ribbon generously, as it has a tendency to unravel making it necessary to keep trimming the ends. I also cut this ribbon at an angle to make it easier to thread through the slots. Next thread the leaves and then the flower. I glued down the ribbon on the back side of the card to keep it in place.
The back side of the flower is not pretty, so cut out a matching piece of cardstock to cover this part of the card. I used this same cardstock on the front to accentuate the “Happy Birthday”. The “Happy Birthday” was done using the Print and Cut method.
I included a dashed fold line that I recommend cutting at low force so as to make a score line, not a cut line.
I did not complete the inside of the card as this one will be for my sister, and I don’t quite know what I want to say yet!
And here are the files in both MTC and SVG formats
