I have another Christmas card today.
We're almost halfway through the year and Christmas
will be here all too soon!
To make this card, I added some Sookwang tape vertically over a
scrap of Neenah cardstock. Then I pressed the ribbon horizontally.
When the whole piece was covered, I die cut it with a pennant die.
The ribbon has wonderful texture!
For the snowflake on top, I used a piece of canvas that is for crafts.
I'm sorry, but there are just some pieces in my bag of cork, fabric and wood
so I don't know where it came from. I also cut the snowflake from a
snippet of crumb cake cardstock and glued them to each other a little
offside. This time I did it intentionally! LOL
I used a larger die to emboss the card front and decorated the tree
with some red glitter glue.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

A great idea Bonnie and a very pretty tree using this gorgeous ribbon, and I love the double layer snowflake star and the red glitter glue dots on the little snowflakes on the ribbon, and a great complementary sentiment too. x
LOVE this!
Inspired Bonnie! I have a set of Pennant dies unused - I now shall be making lots of Christmas cards with them after seeing how lovely this turned out! x
Fabulous ribbon tree Bonnie... looks super with the textured ribbon across the whole 'pennant' tree - two wonderful ideas - I have made trees with stripes of different coloured ribbons but definitely will be looking again at my stash....love the embossed finishing touches and the red glitter...hugs Robyn
Brilliant card, Bonnie. What a great way to use ribbon and I love the subtle embossing. xx
Fabulous texture with that ribbon tree, Bonnie - just love it!! Pretty background paper too with the bitty flecks!!
so clever creating the ribbon tree, I love the colours and the texture :)
This is so creative, Bonnie!! I LOVE your ribbon and looks amazing covering your tree. The red adds a fun pop of colour. xx

What a clever idea using ribbon this way! Your creativity sure is amazing...using basic products like ribbon in new ways. And thanks for the reminder that Christmas is only half a year off so get going on that Christmas card stash(!)
Such a beautiful ribbon, Bonnie... love the texture, and kraft color! Another lovely Christmas card to share!

This is SO clever! From the photo I can see the texture and immediately had to read how you did this. I’m impressed that the die cut through the ribbon! Amazing. The embossing around the tree is a perfect way to set it off. Now this is what I call creative! Great card Bonnie!
Ingenious and very beautiful.
Take care

What an excellent idea with the ribbon, it has worked a treat xx
What a great idea. So pretty.
So cool and creative. I’m surprised the die was able to cut through the ribbon so cleanly. Love the non-traditional colours and fabulous texture.
Bonnie, you have a very creative eye. I would have never thought to use that ribbon as a tree. Love this card.
What a great way to use ribbon and this ribbon is beautiful. I love the matching snowflake on top.
Such a unique and creative 'Tree' Bonnie and a wonderful contemporary Christmas card x.
What an awesome idea to create a Christmas tree using ribbon, Bonnie! The card is so pretty and I love the organic feel to it. The red glitter dots add so much fun and festivity!

That is some beautiful ribbon Bonnie and it sure made a beautiful Christmas tree with your die! I love the texture the ribbon has and the design of it. This kraft and white color combo is just so pretty to me with the little pops of red in the snowflake centers. Just gorgeous! Hugs, Brenda
Wonderful ribbon and such a great creative way of using it. Love the red glitter glue on the snowflakes on the tree!
You are so clever, Bonnie to think of designing a Christmas tree out of your ribbon. I love the texture and your kraft, red and white color combo is so Christmasy. Beautiful die cut snowflake topper with kraft layer offset. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
What a clever idea and what a stunner!
So cool!! I have all the stuff to do this with, so maybe I'll give it a try. Use up some of that Christmas ribbon. I can't imagine cutting through all that, but if you say so... It turned out so cute!
Wonderful Christmas card, and I love the burlap-ish texture!
NICE!!! I had to read twice to realize that you assembled this beautiful tape onto Sookwang. Brilliant, I forget to use that stuff. NBUS LOL.
