All the fun of The Vintage Fair...

Had a great day out at The Vintage Fair on Sunday, met lots of lovely people and new store holders. If you're around near or in Ashbourne, The Vintage Fairs are well worth a visit. There's a real eclectic mix of vintage fines and hand made goods. Lots of creative and talented people.

Craft Ribbon Card

Listed below, are the items needed to create this card.

 1. Using the strip of cream card as a band, place in the middle of the card blank and begin to measure from the backside of the card. Bend along the crease of the card (I've used a strip of card that is A4 in length, in which I've trimmed to fit when taped down).

 2. Only place tape on the part of the cream card that is going to be attached to the back.

3. Tape this on to the back of the card.

 4. On the piece of brown card, hand draw a heart.

 5. Cut round heart and distress the edges with scissors.

 6. Place your ribbons on your card, check you are happy with the order of colours.

7. Tie the ribbon on to the cream piece of card, finishing with a knot on the front of the card.

8. When all are tied on, trim the ends to similar lengths.

9. Place tape on the cream card and secure down to card blank.

10. Stamp your message to make your tag.

11. Using a hole punch, make a hole in the top of the tag and distress the edges with scissors.

12. Tie the tag onto the heart with string.

13. Tape the back of the heart.

14. Place onto the front of the card and use buttons to finish.

15. Using black glaze pen, trace over stamped message.

Finished ribbon heart card in 15 steps.
