    Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! Pro Tip: Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! 

Pro Tip: When you don’t have the right ribbon…
Maybe you’ve run out, can’t find the perfect match, or it simply doesn’t exist. The good news? You can make your own!

All you need is a white or sheer ribbon and your Stampin’ Blends (alcohol markers). Just gently color the ribbon with your marker until you reach the shade you want.

Bonus tip: Let the ribbon dry completely—sometimes the color shifts quite a bit as it dries, depending on the ribbon and ink color combination.

Pro Tip: Not just for frames! The beautiful Peaceful Greenery Embossing Folder is designed as a frame, but you don’t have to use it that way. Try embossing just one side of your cardstock for a soft, delicate border instead of covering the whole card front.

For this sample, I used the Cloud Cover Two-Toned Cardstock with its white core, then gave it a light sanding. This brings out the white and adds an extra touch of texture and depth. A simple little twist that makes a big difference!

Use the debossed side of your embossed panel (that’s the “wrong” side), then lightly swipe it with ink. You’ll create a beautiful, textured backdrop in seconds! Keep it simple for a soft look, or add a touch of gold embossing for an elegant, stepped-up finish.

Pro Tip:  Most of us go straight for the “outy” side of embossing folders, but the debossed side deserves some love too! It gives a softer, more subtle look that’s perfect when you don’t want your texture to steal the show. Here I used the Dotted Circles folder on the debossed side for just the right touch.
