Happy Tuesday/Wednesday fellow crafters! I'm back with my Card And Tag Swap (CATS) for August. My partner is the wonderfully talented Mama! It was a bit nerve wrecking for me because Mama does beautiful work and I'm so many notches below her caliber but I bit the bullet and thought as soon as I got my swap done, my stomach would settle down and there's no more fingernails to bite on LOL! The requirement for this month's swap was to use ribbon. Sounds easy enough right? WRONG! I wanted to use it in a different sort of way besides just tying a ribbon around my card and tag and adding a bow, so I decided to make little ribbon flowers. (Caution: Long post!) Okay, enough blabbering so here's my humble card for Mama:
About a month ago, Sugar Nellie came out with some new images for the Sherbet Pips line and here I've used "Candy Pip" on the cover. I put some teeny-tiny buttons on her dress and added some small bows to the top of her head and on the flourish leaf.
For the inside of my card, I used "Cherry Pip" and added a picket fence on both sides, some die-cut grass, and pink ribbon flowers and a little bow for her hair. The "jotting" piece fits just inside/behind the picket fence and here I used some pleated ribbon topped with some velvet ric-rac trim, added a flower and the butterflies. I wanted the jotting piece to look like a "house" behind the picket fence but I didn't do a very good job at it. Below you can see the jotting piece removed from behind the fence:
Lastly, I finished my tag with another Cherry Pip. I made it so that the cover swivels open:
Well, that's all I have to share today. Thank you for being so patient in viewing all the pics. You can join in the fun and sign up for the next quarter's Card and Tag Swap by

Wowzer, Cami, you did a fabulous job. Your card is beautiful on the outside and inside. I've been seeing these Pip gal everywhere and yes, she is utterly adorable. Gorgeous colouring and love the colour combo--one of my faves. Kudos for your use of the ribbons to make embellishment stuff other than just laying a strip of ribbon on your card. I just love the way you've put this card together.
