Hi, this sounds like a fun project. I don't have much experience reading directions for making cards, so wanted to make sure I understand. For example, could the card have a stamped image, with a ribbon tied around it ? Or a stamped image with a ribbon bow in the corner ? Thanks.

Hi JeaninMt,
Thanks for joining. Yes both your example would fit the requirements. The ribbon and the stamped image do not have to be attached, you just need both items on the card.

Thanks for the reply. I was working on some cards for this today, and one card ended up with a section of fancy paper, the kind you lick and tear to shape, can't remember the name - oh, maybe Mulberry ? Would something like that serve as a ribbon ? I'm not trying to be complicated, just want to get it "right". Are you anticipating just a "fibery" addition/embelishment ?

Hi JeaninMt,

Based on what you're describing it doesn't sound like ribbon. Here are some examples of what I think of in terms of ribbon.

Well I am ready - cards done and waiting till it is time to have partners assigned - I am a bit excited on this card challenge and stamping!

Kathyy 07/ 6/2009 #

Hi sapphirestitching,
I hope we get more people signed up. I am excited too and already have one of my cards made. They other I hope to get finish in the next day or so.

Kathyy 07/ 8/2009 #

Today is the last day to sign up. My cards are done and ready to head to a good home.

Kathyy 07/ 9/2009 #

Partners have been assigned. One person with a "1" rating was allowed in and I will angel if for some reason that person does not fulfill his or her responsibilities.

My cards are going in the mail today!

Have fun :)
