#1 - Lamb Technique

Winter Meadow Hello Card

Instructions:

• Add Tear and Tape to the wrong side of the card in the area where the ribbon will be attached. 
• Starting at the beginning of the tape, press the cut edge of the ribbon vertically onto the card. 
• Loop the desired amount and secure the ribbon to the Tear and Tape by aligning the side to the first ribbon. 
• Repeat the loop process and align the third ribbon to the edge of the second one. 
• Continue this process until the desired length of embellishment is reached. 
• Secure the ribbon with a piece of tape. 
• The Lamb Technique was developed by Kelly Lamb - Cards by Christine. 

#2: Diagonal Winding Road Using Trim

Creative Challenge in Gold  Card

Instructions:

• Secure a piece of Tear and Tape to the area on the front of the card where the ribbon will be located. The length of the tape will be determined by the size of the ribbon. Estimate the size so the middle section of the ribbon will be secured. 
• On a diagonal, start at the beginning location of the ribbon. While winding back and forth, press the ribbon onto the tape to secure it. 
• Cover the middle section of the ribbon with a label. Use Dimensionals to adhere the label on the card front.

• Cut and fold a piece of ribbon.
• Press onto the back of the label and secure it with a piece of tape. 
• Add Dimensionals and adhere the label to the card front. 
• Trim tag ends diagonally. 

#6: Two-Layered Tied Ribbon

Serene Colors in the Sky Card

Instructions:

• Cut the ribbon approximately an inch longer than the card front. 
• Position on the front of the card and wrap ends to the back.
