[@carolson100]

Thank-you for making me use up ribbons that I have had for years! 😁

[@lucypatrick]

I love that, enjoy! 😀XOX

[@sharonpimento3257]

The all gold one is quite elegant

[@dianapadilla3617]

I've done this with paper scraps but never thought about ribbon. Thank you for sharing your ideas, love it!

[@Lainers2000]

Beautiful set of cards, Lucy!. I love how you mixed the different patterns of ribbon together. I’m sorry that your channel is struggling. I didn’t notice an issue until today. when I received a msg. that indicated that the content had been removed however when I clicked on KZbin at the bottom of the screen, it came right up. Hang in there, Gal.

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you 😊. Oh, was it one of my videos that the content had been removed? I hope not as I didn't know about it. As always, thank you again for writing lovely messages to me XOX

[@colleenseguinot8486]

What a great idea for using materials we probably already have!

[@blessedhandsac5972]

Beautiful cards 🤩🤗😍

[@dianesantacatterina7139]

That is a great idea. What I really like is that it can be done with no fancy crafting tools. Thank you for sharing.

[@julianshaddix7154]

I love the card with the tinsel! Betty

[@KaylynPNW]

Love this idea. And I do like the tinsel. Heavens knows I have more ribbon than a girl should have!! 🤪

[@lucypatrick]

😆❤❤

[@ThadtGirl]

Love the one with the deer the most, thanks

[@goldpig1964]

Yes to the tinsel 😊. Great video!!

[@patriciabutler8628]

What a great idea Lucy to use up extra stash. I will be trying this today as I still have a few cards to send. 🥰

[@sharonmontag2389]

Thanks for the great idea. I do this with paper scraps, but never considered ribbon.

[@lucypatrick]

You're welcome 😊❤

[@janepowell4739]

Hi Lucy. Brilliant idea with the ribbon. Love the baubles too. Thank you Lucy xx

[@lucypatrick]

You’re welcome 😊

[@Tokyokie]

Wonderful cards Lucy! Love the tinsel onevtoo!

[@susant.1620]

Love this card idea to help de-stash all those ribbons I couldn’t resist, but never seem to use. Will have to give it a try.

[@kathylarsson8388]

Those ribbons look georgous. Love all your cards they look so luscious. TFS

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you so much! XOX

[@oldmedtech]

Love all of your cards

[@sharonpeterson2378]

Neat idea. Your ribbons are all rich royal colors which makes them look more elegant. I do have way to many ribbons as I went overboard needing to find which ribbons would glue onto a wood plaque project I was doing. I have lots of ribbons that don't "stick" well. Your cards are gorgeous! Thanks for this idea.

[@jeanninerourke6912]

Loved your ribbon card idea.

[@rosemaryfidler4061]

Love this use of ribbons and will definitely make my stash smaller.

[@illawallaroo]

Such a lovely idea. I know I have a stash of ribbons lurking in a box in my basement. Time to dig it out!

[@lucypatrick]

Yes, dig them out hehe!! Have a great day XOX

[@Mari-cre8s]

Terrific idea!! Love the finished look of these cards! 🧑🏼‍🎨🎄😀

[@elianaisraelnc7904]

i love the idea of using ribbon on card fronts. I have so much ribbon like paper i buy it because it’s pretty. 😊 I usually have a plan but then change my mind. I will try this, thank you!

[@ruthjames715]

I have literally yards and yards of ribbon, I shall certainly try this. Thank you. Ruth down under.

[@lucypatrick]

That's great, have fun using up some of your ribbon stash Ruth! XOX

[@2848Adriana]

Hi Lucy, What a great idea with the ribbons, and your cards look fantastic, cheers Anna

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you so much, Anna, I'm glad you like this ribbon idea 😊🤗❤❤

[@barbrabrurrier7548]

I think your gold tensil looks good on the card

[@noslenarual]

Sorry to hear you’re struggling! I love your videos. Please keep it up!!!

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you for caring, have a great day 😊❤

[@angelaharnett6437]

Great idea. I have loads of ribbon but sadly not the type of ribbon for Christmas cards but will try everyday ribbon for birthday or anniversary card ,thank you Lucy . Love the baubles x

[@lucypatrick]

Have fun creating 🥰🥰

[@lorettafritz6992]

Love the tinsel. Wonderful texture. These are so pretty, and I just got my wide double sided sticky roll. Thank you!

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you, Loretta and enjoy your wide tape! 😊❤

[@jenniewalsh-wj7xe]

Love the idea of using up ribbons this way, I have hundreds of them and using them like that will be perfect. I also quilt and had some beautiful Christmas material scraps left over so made beautiful cards with them this year. Posted them all yesterday then remembered I hadn't taken any photos, what a bummer!

[@lucypatrick]

Ooh, your Christmas cards using material scraps sound beautiful! XOX

[@tracyjohnson2992]

I love what you did with the ribbons Lucy, They look very luxurious and high end christmas cards, they are also very unique i have tons of ribbon i have collected over the years so i may give this a try. its great that you are also using the recycled paper and card that you would have thrown out otherwise. we crafters love to keep the cut offs and the scraps of paper card and others items so we can use it later on. my daughter and my husband always asks why i keep the bits and bobs i just say because i need them for another craft. you could also do that with old bits of coloured or mirrored card stock or paper and also metallic cardstock and paper too. It helps keep the items out of landfills which in my book it is a win win for us and the environment. we need to do our part in saving our planet and this is one of the best ways to do it which is very creative as well as very beautiful ways of using up materials that would have ended up in the bin. Great job Lucy you are a genius. keep up the great work you are doing and well done. I absolutely love these ideas for cards.

[@lucypatrick]

I quite like being called a genius hehe, thank you so much Tracy! XOX

[@pearlhudson6545]

You have so many great ideas for cards Lucy. I love all your videos. Thanks for sharing your creative talent. ❤❤❤

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you so much, what a lovely message to receive! 😊🤗❤❤

[@robynhensley6912]

Great idea Lucy. Will definitely give it a go. Thank you for all the videos you do.

[@4ke_1978]

I like the cards very much! I think they also are nice to touch, as we crafters like to touch all kinds of surfaces 😂

[@lucypatrick]

Yes, that's true, they do feel nice 😆❤❤

[@karenzack2726]

These are fun yet elegant. Thanks for sharing!

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you! XOX

[@lynnehill8635]

Great ideas, Lucy. I think Christmas ribbons are the only types I don't have a lot of, but I can definitely use what I have!! Thanks for the inspiration. ❤

[@lynnehill8635]

P.S....the tinsel is totally not ott. It's Christmas!😊

These are stunning.

[@carolnicholson2032]

I feel dumb. I just saw the ribbons across the cards and didn’t realize you had used the ribbon for your card. I love it. I have oodles of ribbon. I’m going to have to find time to play. Thank you❣️

[@lucypatrick]

Hehe, that's funny! I hope you find time to give this a go, it's fun! 😊❤

[@sharonmontag2389]

Wow!! Beautiful cards and a great idea, thanks for sharing.😊

[@lucypatrick]

Thanks Sandy 🤗❤

[@maureenday2337]

Lovely cards as usual. I've also used the reels of paper ribbon, used to wrap presents. You can buy it in different widths in metallic, satin or patterned. Ideal to use in between the real ribbon.

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you and that sounds like a great idea! XOX

[@deniseh8422]

Fabulous as always Lucy. I love watching you craft ❤

[@lucypatrick]

This is so lovely to hear, thanks Denise 🥰♥️

[@lucypatrick]

Thanks for letting me know you liked this ribbon idea, Ellen XOX

[@KWicksable]

Your creativity knows no boundaries, those cards are amazingly beautiful along with the card with the garland. I would have never thought to use it on a card, but it works.🤩🤩🤩

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you Kim, I'm so glad you like them 😊❤

[@brooksdogdays]

Elegant!

[@maggiebrinkley4760]

What a great idea! The tinsel looks good - can there be too much bling on a Christmas card?! The baubles are beautiful, too!

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you! 😊❤

I really love these. Very easy to do, and I can get bog3 during salad. So that also makes them quite inexpensive. Thanks Lucy!

[@stamps4fungin]

Bog3 during salad??,?

[@noreenhennessy9299]

I have a double wide draw and 1/2 of ribbon….i will definitely try this

I love watching your videos. Fellow Aussie here. Just started making cards. Very inspired by this idea. Lots of people having difficulty with YT. But, Thank you for persisting 😊 and Merry Christmas

[@lucypatrick]

Thanks so much for your lovely comments, that's exciting you're a new card maker! I hope my videos help you a lot. Merry Christmas to you too, have a lovely warm one here in Oz 😀🤗❤

[@Cre8iveCindy]

I love the gold ones the most. I’m going to try this for sure. I can only imagine what a joy it would be to make a dent in my ribbon drawer. The ribbons are in the bottom drawer which is the biggest. But I do have them in bags separated by color. For me, I think the tinsel is overtop.

[@lucypatrick]

Have fun, it certainly helped me use up my ribbon stash as it’s a bit addictive hehe 😁♥️♥️

[@marilynboyle9214]

Love this idea. I would definitely try this with my ribbons!

[@lorriedarbyshire8146]

Thank you for all the great ideas! Time to get cracking on them!

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you for watching and have fun creating! 😁♥️

[@flowerlila21248]

Your cards are simple but very beautiful and elegant. The last gold one is my favorite. It's just exquisite. Nicely done, A+++. Merry Christmas!

Hi Lucy, have just tried out your idea of using ribbons across the cards. Happy with the results so far. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@lucypatrick]

That's wonderful to hear, thank you so much for letting me know you've tried this idea and are happy with the results, Sharon, that's fantastic! XOX

[@SB-ux4rx]

That's such a good idea thank you. But I have to say that I have been quite good in not buying too much ribbon 😀 xx

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you! I was guilty of buying lots of ribbon years ago 😀❤

[@kaninajames9633]

Gorgeous as usual! I'm so excited that I found those beautiful blue flower PET stickers you used for the cards that you made for your friends. I found them in a set of 6 packs of different blue flowers on Amazon for around $11 American.

[@lucypatrick]

Hi Kanina! That's great but they're only $1.43 USD a pack at Journalsay at the moment so it would have been under $9, hopefully you'll check out my links first next time to make sure you're getting the best price. XOX

Hi Gina! I’m so happy you found my channel and subscribed. Yes, ribbon seems to be one of those things we buy way too much of and then stash in a drawer somewhere 😁! Happy holidays Xox
