That's How Thursday!!

Hello there sweet {ippity} friends!

To carry on with our week 4 monthly challenge "using ribbon", 

I thought I would share with you a

 super quick, easy, and fun way to spice up your ribbon!!

You ask how?  I will tell you how (smile) !!

Today, we are adding TEXTURED EMBOSSING 

to satin ribbon for our {ippity} projects!!

I love how it feels & adds that extra pop to your ribbon!!

(click to enlarge and see detail)

Here's what you can do to add TEXTURE  to your SATIN RIBBON...

You're only using 3 items: satin ribbon, heavy starch spray, & an embossing folder!!

1) cut your satin ribbon to the length you desire

2) spritz the cut satin ribbon with Heavy Starch Spray

3) let the ribbon air dry (optional: use a heat gun to speed up dry process)

4) using any embossing folder, run ribbon through your Cuttlebug/Big Shot (I ran my ribbon back and forth twice to give more dimension)

Viola!  That's it!  How easy was that!
