Adding color to ribbon.

It’s Technique Tuesday! Here’s a quick tip on how to not break the bank with ribbon.

Have you ever felt like you need everything to coordinate, get everything in your cart, and realize that your card for your uncle is now costing you over $90? Well, here’s one way to cut a corner. Buy a neutral ribbon (vanilla or white) and grab your Stampin’ Blends.

Instead of buying every color under the sun of ribbon to coordinate just buy one or two spools of a white or vanilla. I say two because you might want a lacy one and maybe a more plain one. Then grab your Stampin’ Blends and get to coloring. Open that marker and use the brush tip to get in all those woven spaces. Let dry a couple of minutes and you now have coordinating ribbon.

Tip: Make sure to have a scrap mat or paper down when coloring.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,
