Tutorial: Ribbon cinching

Remember this card? it was in my 5th Avenue floral card kit a while back.   

So many of you have asked me how to do this.  Try it!  

Assemble the entire front panel of the card.  Then, spread the back of the brads and put your ribbon inside.

Fold the one of the brad backs to one side to hold the ribbon.mark with a pencil where you want the brad to be on your card.  then punch it with your crop-a-dile.
Push the Brad through as shown, then separate the brad backs

tuck the ribbon under the panel.  then attach the entire panel to your card base.  


I like this with the wider ribbons.  looks great with rhinestone brads too!  Have fun!!!

    Thanks for the tip. This is a lot easier than trying to cut the brad. I left something for you on my blog. Have a great day……
