Hi everyone, did you know that
May Arts is having a DT call? I am thrilled because I would love to work with this team. And, having a wonderful supply of beautiful ribbons on hand wouldn't hurt either!!!!
My samples for the call include:
Catty Christmas card
Love this wonderful May Arts ribbon in pink - awesome that I could "shed" it as if the cat got a hold of it before I used it on my card - simple but effective don't you think?
Happy Mothers Day card
Loved this wood grain pattern paper, but wanted a more feminine look - out came May Arts crocheted trim - the perfect finishing touch. Love that the cream color of the trim worked well with the pattern paper I chose.
Hello card
May Arts Crocheted trim adds texture, color and dimension to this sweet card. The trim "gives" a little so you can stretch and tie it as needed, and it still retained its shape.
Baby Buggy Favors
Nothing screams baby shower like a baby buggy
Adding May Arts lace trim and little bits of ribbon were the perfect finishing touch to this little party favor and it was so easy to make!!!
And finally, a tutorial for my
Friendship Box using May Arts lace and glitter ribbon.

Score at 3” and 6”.
