Make it Monday, #43

I am playing along again with this week's Make-it-Monday challenge over at Papertrey Ink. Dawn McVey gave us a great tutorial on ribbon pleating. I have always wanted to try this technique, so I was excited to give it a try.


I broke out my Create a Critter cartridge and die cut the adorable turtle and glittered up her shell. I added my ribbon pleating with Raspberry Fizz saddle stitch and finished it off with a Hawaiian Shores flower button. The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I don't think I could ever get tired of embossing with white. It really stands out and gives my little sentiment a bit of boldness. Thanks for looking!

    My oh my--that turtle is just too sweet. I love her googlie eyes, her smile, and her glittery shell. Great job on the ribbon pleating, too.

    Very cute card, Deb! I love the turtle. I just got the Create a Critter cartridge too and can't wait to play. It's got the sweetest images on there.

    We will have to hang out soon! Let me know when you have some time and then you could meet Alexander too. Hope things are going well with you. :)
