Im up late again. Gracie is shredding wet wipes as I clean my stamps. We are quite a pair :)
I made this little card tonight and I get a lot of questions about how I ruffle the ribbon so here goes:
After creating my card I place a 1/4" strip of scor-tape where I want my ribbon to go. I've used red liner tape, I just happened to grab scor-tape. I placed my ribbon down with an inch left for a tail and exposed about half of the tape. I gathered approximately 1/4 of an inch and stuck down the ribbon and repeated until the entire length was covered with 1/4 inch gathers. I secured the tails behind the card and placed a tag on the front.
Try it! Let me know how it works :)
Ready for ruffle

| Continue adding tucks or ruffels |

| Secure tails |

| Make any adjustments to get your ruffles even and in a mostly straight line :) |
So pretty!
