A few days ago I showed you a "sneak peek" of some ribbon that I found at Costco. I know that some of you are not fans of the "untraditional" Christmas color schemes, but I thought it was pretty and I knew I could find some ways to use it in my projects.
Here is another look at the ribbon. It comes on a continuous spool of 50 yards and costs less than $10. I counted 15 of the Christmas ornaments per yard (so that is a lot of ornaments - about 750!).
Last year I found a different ribbon with snowmen and used it for cards. Here is a LINK to the post about these cards.
I tried something a bit different with the ornament ribbon and made tags with two layers forming a window for the ribbon to show from both directions. I had a very busy day Monday and I'll be driving to New Jersey on Tuesday so I will have to wait another day or so to write up the explanation of how I did it.
Sorry for the short post but I know that you all are also busy at this time of year. December is flying by! I just got a package in the mail that I'll be telling you about soon - it contained something that I will be able to give to one lucky person. I wonder if you can guess what was in it...

My guess is some new, super-cool Martha Stewart gadget! Love these ribbon tags. The colors are gorgeous and the glitter really sparkles. What a great idea...I'll have to keep my eyes open for patterns like this. Thanks for always taking the time to share your ideas with us!

ReplyDeleteAwesome tags! I love the non-traditional colors. Can't wait for the instructions. TFS! Have a safe trip!
ReplyDeleteThose tags look great! What a simple idea that looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteMy guess for the pkg is some promarkers since Enfys just got some to give away.
I bet I know how you're going to put these tags together. I just wish I had a Costco nearby so I could buy some of that ribbon, although it's way more than I would ever need.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors! This ribbon is fab. and so are your little tags.
ReplyDeleteGreat tags !! Love all colors !

Love these tags...great idea! I can't imagine what's in the package you got. There are so many things coming out all the time! I look forward to finding out, though.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, Diane - TFS! The tags are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove those tags. I was just at Costco today but I didn't look in that area. Love your ideas. I made Christmas Cards last year using that Snowman Ribbon--I still have tons of that left!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip to NJ--it was very cold here today.
You always have lots of awsome ideas. Thanks for sharing
