Gorgeous Grosgrain Ribbon

I don’t usually use wide ribbon on cards, but our Cherry Cobbler grosgrain is so luscious that I had to make an exception:

Festive Flurry and More Merry Messages stamp sets
Crumb Cake, Gumball Green and Whisper White card stock
Season of Style DSP
Cherry Cobbler FFIP
Tea Lace doily
Festive Flurry Framelits and the Big Shot
Cherry Cobbler grosgrain ribbon
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Rhinestone jewels

That ribbon is very soft and yet holds its shape really well. I think you could even sneak that soft knot through the Postal Services 1/4″ rule!

Speaking of, yesterday I did my part to keep the USPS afloat: I mailed my daughter and her husband their Christmas package. I am the Woman Who Packs Every Inch – let no corner be un-stuffed. I kept it under the 20 pound limit for international boxes, but I swear the price has gone up – shipping the large flat rate box to Australia was (gulp) $77.95. Of course they’re worth it – but I have yet another reason I wish they would move to the US! However, that’s not my decision and the most important thing is that they’re happy. (Really!) I hope their package makes them happy.

I hope today’s card makes you happy, too!
