When making cards, sometimes you don’t have the right color of ribbon to match. You can dye any of our taffeta ribbons with the Stampin UP writers (markers). Here is how I dyed the ribbon to match my butterfly card using the new Watercolor Trio Stamp set. I have a question…. leave your answer in a comment to win some BLOG CANDY!! I want to know which stamp set in the new summer mini if your favorite? I will be giving away a set of the Butterfly cards shown at the bottom of this post, made with the new stamp set Watercolor Trio.
I will also be giving the hostess stamp Country Morning to a NON-demo.
So when leaving your comment, be sure to say whether or not you are a demo or a customer. Anyone can win the set of cards, but the hostess stamp set will only be awarded to a customer!!
just color with a marker on some scrap paper
let ribbon dry a few min

I’m going to have to say my favorite stamp set in the summer mini is Elements of Style! Most everything I make has that romantic, feminine feel to it, and that set is just beautiful. I’m not a demo, so drop my name in the hat for the Country Morning stamp!
Thanks!
