Elementary Elegance/SAB

I cannot believe that another year of Sellabration is winding down! Time flies these days!  Here is a workshop card I did.  I was not only focusing on the FREE paper, brads, and ribbon, and stamp set, but I was so excited to find out that I could curl my ribbon with my HEAT TOOL! Now, you see, about 3 years ago, I learned to do this in the oven and it was a process....and now, I can do so many more so much more quickly! Quick "tutorial": wrap your ribbon around the size of skewer you want your curls to be, clip each end with binder clips and heat it(moving your heat tool up and down, not holding it in one place for very long)with your heat tool-takes about 30-60 seconds depending on the ribbon.  Then take the clips off and the ribbon is CURLED! VIOLA! It's so addicting! Anyway, I embossed the outside of the stamp in silver embossing powder, and then stamped the Happy Birthday and butterfly on another piece of paper and punched it out with the Curly Label Punch and popped it up with dimensionals. Added some bling and there ya have it, the card with lots of product and techniques! lol

When you curled that ribbon, will it only work with ribbon similar to the SAB ribbon this year or will it work with all of the SU! ribbon? Thanks for the advice and tip. Glad I learned something new today!
