Christmas Cards with Ribbons


This weeks challenge on Daring Card Makers is to use ribbons in Christmas card designs. These are my two designs. I've kept them simple, as ever. Both are made from scrap card and paper, the one on the right includes recycled ribbon from gift wrap and the one on the left includes a ribbon from a pot of Scottish jam.
This is such a good idea, I think there may be more ribbons in future Christmas cards!

Well done - I love saving bits to recycle on cards and the little lengths or ribbon on choccies and pots of jam are perfect, great job!
