I have a ribbon tree or four for you today

I saw this on pinterest, and think it is a perfect idea for an none traditional card, and of course the Woodware Gingham Ribbon

I cut a triangle (well I folded some thin card in half and chopped it, then I measured and made holes in a rectangle of card, and used my Woodware Pierce it Tool to make evenly space holes. This became my template.

Then I added the ribbon.

I tried various ways to do this.

But in the end I decided that cutting the lengths for each row war the easiest way to keep the ribbon even and not rip the holes too much by putting them under pressure.

I had cut my four cards for the front the same size as my template before I started.

I just used double-sided tape to attach the fronts, although 3D mounting tape would work really well.

I Frantaged my star buttons not sure what I would do without these Woodware buttons

this is the navy gingham

This is the berry gingham.

and the turquoise.

I hope that you like my none traditional Christmas cards, I liked creating this card using the bright ribbon making a very traditional Christmas image non traditional.
