It's a new Your Next Stamp challenge this week ~ Pretty Pleats!!
You can pleat your ribbon, paper, fabric, etc...
I've used You Make My Heart Soar, which is from the YNS January Release. (Have I mentioned how much I love collecting Valentine images?!?!) When I saw this challenge I knew that I just had to try ribbon pleating. My friend Alicia did a beautiful ribbon treatment awhile back and I couldn't wait for the opportunity to try it for myself. She shared with me how she did it and it's VERY easy!!
Alica's Instructions:
Place a strip of score tape or other strong adhesive to the paper where you want your ribbon to go. Tuck the end of the ribbon to the back of the paper and then start making small pleats and stick them on. One pleat to the left, one to the right - that way it looks more "fluffy".
The only thing I did differently was I adherd my score tape to the back of the ribbon instead. And just started "pinching & squishing" the ribbon together.
Can you believe that I actually drug out my beautiful and sadly neglected sewing machine and did a little stitching!!! Yea Me!!! :) The image panel is popped up on foam tape for dimension.
Please stop back later today for my 7 Kids College Fund Challenge sample!!

Oh, this one is pretty! Love the colors and the kite is a beauty! Ha, you have an Apple TV as well, great! But you can do a lot more with it than me, 'cause we can't watch online movies or tv shows with it here... they don't offer that yet in iTunes store, I hope soon! But love it this way as well!!
