Ric-Rac Rosette Ribbon Flower Tutorial and Layout

Good morning crafty friends,

Today I have a special layout to share with you. I created this layout for my niece who recently graduated. I wanted to make it extra special.

This layout features some beautiful flowers I created. I call them; RicRac Rosette Ribbon Flowers. I got my hands on some of the velvety ricrac from MAY ARTS Ribbon and started playing.

Here's how I made my layout

I created and cut my lattice heart with my Pazzles Inspiration. Next I used some May Arts Satin Ribbon and did some basic "basic weaving". I glued and trimmed the ribbon to the edges of the back of the heart.

Here's a close up of the butterflies. I inked the edges and added some Liquid Pearls to their centers.

Here is an angled look showing the dimension of all the pretty flowers. 

Here is a closer look at the rosette with a paper lace doily. I added some liquid pearls to different points on the doily for some additional "prettiness".

Here's a closer look at the little rosettes on the satin border "swag".  I added some pretty May Arts fuchsia pink polka dot ribbon for a splash of vibrant color.

Here's a closer look showing the rich pretty pink satin ribbon I used to weave through the scalloped paper circle frame.

How To Create The Ric-Rac Rosette Ribbon Flower.

Here's The How To Video

Video Note: I am still very new to all this video "editing" so please be patient as I work to improve :-)

Photo Step By Step Instructions.

Threading a needle, start on one end by going "up" from the bottom. Make sure you start on a "low" point of the ric-rac. 

Once you pull the thread through, go back down through the very next "low point" on the ric-rac.

Continue going up and down on the "low points" of the ric-rac.

One you pull your ribbon tight, your length of ribbon will now look like this.

Close up the ribbon and adhere to a piece of cardstock. This creates one layer of your flower. To create the second layer repeat above using a "longer" strand of ric-rac.

To create the centers, simply apply adhesive to a strip of the ricrac and then roll the ric-rac onto itself.

Here is what the rosette looks like before I add the center in.

This shows you the height of the finished flower.

This shows you the width of the flower.

Here is one last look at the layout.

Pink Satin 1 3/8"
Pink Velvet RicRac
Fuchsia Center Dot
Quick Quotes Patterned Paper
Basic Grey Patterned Paper
Green, Pink and White Cardstock.

Lattice Card By Larelyn

Hello Crafty Friends.  It's Larelyn, back to share a  project using another cut file (SVG) from

Paper Crafting World.

I hope you're enjoying our Sizzlin Summer posts.

The projects have been so inspiring and Melin's tutorials are wonderful!  I learn new techniques every time she shares one of her creations.

When Melin first shared her own Lattice Card to introduce the new file, I knew I had to try it using my Pazzles. I decided to change the orientation and arrange the flowers a little differently.  That's the great thing about the cut files.  They are delightful as designed, but you also have the ability to resize, reorient, do whatever you wish to make the design your own.

PCW cut file used: Basic Lattice Card

All of the papers are from the DCWV Lemon Flower Stack.  The ribbon is my own hand-died crinkle ribbon and the bow is black Crafter's Floss accented with a black gem.

I hope you'll visit my blog - Handmade From My Heart.

And be sure to return here to tomorrow to see what designer Madison Womack, has to share with you.

Hugs and Happy Crafting,

When Life Hands You Lemons…..

Good morning crafty friends,

I hope your Tuesday is shaping up to be a TERRIFIC ONE! I have a cheery project to share with you today! It includes “Sneak Peaks” of the files that will be released this weekend at PaperCraftingWorld.com!

Here is my fun and easy to make set! I created a card to match my Water Bottle Treat Holders.  The Water Bottle Treat Holders come in two sizes. One for a standard sized water bottle and one for a larger water-beverage bottle.

 Here is a closer look at the cute card. I used the lemons and wedges from the Lemonade Boy Stand CF set and the cute Bear With Lemonade Glass Digital Stamp. I used the pre-printed version and then used my dry chalks to add some shading and dimension. For instructions on how to do this, check out my tutorial HERE.
