May Arts Ribbonista Valentine Hop  - Mini Valentine Cards


Hi, welcome to Alabaster Owl and the May Arts blog hop.  The giveaway for this Valentine Hop is 4 spools of fabulous May Arts ribbon!  Winner's choice!  Just leave a comment on any stop along the way!

Mini cards are fun quick and cute little bits of happy.  For these cards I found cute stickers,

 matted them on patterned paper  and hand cut with pinking sheers for a jagged edge. 

 for dimension I used tape squares and adhered the card front to grid paper with rounded edges.

  With my fabritac i glued on my favorite velvet ribbon, two pieces crossing to mimic the grid paper.  

That is it!  Easy, quick and fun!  

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my cards and you get a chance to create something soon!!  It is good for the soul!

May Arts and Cardmaker

I love making cards and was excited that May Arts was up for  a hop with Cardmaker.  For my card I started with a vintage playing card and went from there!  I love using playing cards as a starting point for my greeting cards. I matted the card and rounded the corners.  I printed the sentiment "true love" on patterned paper adhered that and a button.  I then adhered the card to the dotted patterned paper and that to my grey card base and rounded corners on one side.  The last thing I added was my pearl lace ribbon along the edge for that special touch!

Supplies:

May Arts Trees

Thank you for stopping by my blog! Tis the season for trees. Trees and ribbon that is!  The two make a perfect pairing this time of year.  Lucky me, I had the opportunity to decorate quite a few trees this holiday.  The first tree was for our town’s festival of trees.  My sister needed a little help decorating a CHICAGO CUBS themed tree.  She had the ornaments, cracker jack and baseball cards, and asked me for assistance with the ribbon.  So I showed up and added LOTS of May Arts ribbon. The 380-15-14 ribbon is perfect for any baseball themed tree, weather you are a cubs fan or not!

May Arts used: 380-15-14, SE14, 377-38-14

This year I have 2 trees in my home.  I have a pencil tree in my living room decorated in burgundy and gold.  When planning this tree I knew that 428-15-25 the satin reversible metallic would be the perfect ribbon for my tree. One side is gold, the other burgundy it looks fabulous on the tree…as well as the presents!  I decided to tie up my presents with the same ribbon I used on the tree.

My third tree, located in the basement family room,  is my FUN tree all decked out in lime and black and red.  The diamond ribbon 341-10 is predominant, however if you look closely you will find about 10 different May Arts ribbons on this tree!  I was beyond thrilled to find wrapping paper that matched my ribbon, how cool is that!?! I am into coordination of the tree and presents this year!
