[@dianapadilla3617]

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

[@PrairieStork]

Very very pretty. Thanks for sharing your talents. 🎄🌟🎄

[@KaylynPNW]

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

[@lucypatrick]

😆❤❤

[@blessedhandsac5972]

Beautiful cards 🤩🤗😍

[@ThadtGirl]

Love the one with the deer the most, thanks

[@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.

[@lucypatrick]

I'm excited you'll give it a try, have a great day XOX

[@sharonpimento3257]

The all gold one is quite elegant

[@julianshaddix7154]

I love the card with the tinsel! Betty

[@Tokyokie]

Wonderful cards Lucy! Love the tinsel onevtoo!

[@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.

[@noslenarual]

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

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you for caring, have a great day 😊❤

[@goldpig1964]

Yes to the tinsel 😊. Great video!!

[@jeanninerourke6912]

Loved your ribbon card idea.

[@oldmedtech]

Love all of your cards

[@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

[@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. 🥰

[@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

[@rosemaryfidler4061]

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

[@janepowell4739]

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

[@lucypatrick]

You’re welcome 😊

[@kathylarsson8388]

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

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you so much! XOX

[@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

[@carolson100]

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

[@lucypatrick]

I love that, enjoy! 😀XOX

[@Carmen-fr4dw]

These are stunning.

[@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.

[@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! 😊❤

[@beckyeberts120]

What fun ideas for using up ribbon. Thanks for sharing your creative talent.

[@lucypatrick]

Thank you so much for your lovely comments, I'm so happy to hear you like these ribbon ideas! 😊

[@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!

[@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

[@barbappleby7526]

I love these cards and can't wait to try this. I could watch your videos all day long, thank you!

[@lucypatrick]

What a lovely thing to say, thank you so much!

[@robynmarshall2226]

After watching the tutorial I went to my craft room and have made some .

[@lucypatrick]

That's brilliant to hear Robyn! I hope you had fun and loved what you made XOX

[@barbrabrurrier7548]

[@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

[@MargeWakeling]

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. ❤

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

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

[@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.

Thank you and that sounds like a great idea! XOX

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
