Hello and welcome to the 2012 Papertrey Ink Stamp-A-Faire event! Last year the event was held in Cincinnati, but this year the event is all online so everyone can play! And it's completely free! The team has tons of videos, projects and inspiration for you all day long! For a full list of events and challenges, click HERE. I will have a total of 6 posts going up today, many of which include video tutorials for the projects shown.
The first challenge of the day is the Ribbon Techniques Challenge. Nichole challenged 6 team members to create a project featuring one of the ribbon styles available from Papertrey Ink. I chose to work with the Bitty Dot ribbon to create some cute little flowers.
I used bits of ribbon and a candle flame to create these little cuties!
Click on the video to see how I made the flowers. You can visit Nichole's blog to see the other team member's ribbon techniques. She'll also explain all of the challenge details and there is an Inlinkz list where you can upload your take on one or more of the ribbon challenges and be entered to win a fantastic prize!
