Hello there! Happy Tuesday to you!
I'm very excited to share a fun blog post with you today. I was asked to be the Guest Blogger over at the Ella Publishing blog today and I've put together a little tutorial for you.
Ruffle Trims are soooo popular right now, whether it be in fashion (ruffled tops are everywhere these days!), home decor (have you seen all the cute ruffled shower curtains and pillows out there?) or even paper crafting. There are countless options for pre-made ruffle trims you can purchase from your favorite crafting companies to use on your cards and layouts but why not create your own? It's quick and easy, as you'll see in my tutorial, and not only that but you can customize your trims to be any size, length and color you need, for a fraction of the cost of store-bought trims!
I created the felt ruffle trim on this card, inspired by a pretty ruffled dress I saw on the web. Head on over to the Ella Publishing blog for my complete, quick & easy tutorial on how to create your own Ruffle Trim!
And while you're there, be sure to check out the rest of their website. I got a couple of their eBooks yesterday and I'm so looking forward to reading them from eCover to eCover. *wink* I got the 40 Top Tips For Better Photos eBook and just in browsing thru the first few pages, I've already picked up a few great tips! I also got Vintage Hip Christmas Crafts by the super sweet Margie Romney Aslett, who I had the pleasure of meeting last month at CHA. Can't wait to dive into that one as well. They're gorgeous eBooks and it was so easy to download them and begin reading right away. Love that!
If you're visiting me from the Ella blog for the first time today, welcome! I'm so glad you stopped by and I hope you'll visit again soon.
Have a GREAT day, sweet friends! I'll be back tomorrow (technically tonight at midnight, EST) with another fun, crafty post for you!
