✨ DIY Ruched Ribbon with Paper – Easy & Stunning!

✨ DIY Ruched Ribbon with Paper – Easy & Stunning! ✨

Don’t have the perfect ribbon for your project? No problem at all — just make your own!

Using designer series paper or two-tone cardstock, you can create the most beautiful ruched ribbon effect in minutes. I used @stampinupofficial ‘s Artisan Sketch Garden Designer Series Paper. Here’s how:

Quick steps:
• Break the fibers in the two-tone cardstock or designer series paper with a bone folder
• Add Tear & Tape where you want your ribbon
• Gently gather the paper to create soft ruched waves

And that’s it! You’ve just created a custom ruched ribbon that perfectly matches your project.

I absolutely love how this technique adds texture, movement, and a handmade touch to any card or creation.

✨ Save this for later & give it a try!

Today I wanted to share an easy way to create a DIY paper rosette using two-toned cardstock ✂️

This technique is so fun and gives such beautiful dimension to your projects! All you need is two-toned cardstock and a circular punch—easy peasy!

Want to see exactly how it’s done? Head over to my YouTube channel or catch the replay on my Facebook Live for the full step-by-step 🎥

Happy crafting!

Did you know that I am part of a group that do monthly French tutorials that are FREE with a $60 order. They include videos therefore you can watch them with captions in English if you wish. I had the pleasure of creating for the Accent Créatif monthly tutorial. I used @stampinupofficial ‘s beautiful Nature’s Symphony bundle, Symphonie de la Nature in French for one of the projects, keeping things soft, elegant, and nature-inspired. I also used the coordinating designer series paper.

This time, I brought back the paper rosette technique, but with a fun twist… using it to decorate a card box.

I love taking a familiar technique and giving it a fresh new purpose and this project is perfect for gifting or adding a special touch to your creations!

Be sure to check out the full tutorial with the Accent Créatif team.
