Ribbon Swatches

I'm sure this is not a new concept, but it sure does beat rummaging through a bunch of spools to find the right ribbon for your project. Angry Kitten Crafts: Ribbon Swatches

This is what I did with my SU ribbon, I will have to wait a while to see how it works for me

I like that you can also organize inks, copics, papers and such. Is that exclusive to SU or a generic template?

I made this myself using microsoft excel. I took the color combos for the copics and pencils from a few posts on splitcoast, and my husband had to help with excel. Send me your email and I will email the file to you. You can add or take out any color you want. I just use SU because that is what I have the most of.

I have all my spools on the ribbon carousel from RibbonCarousel.com . I can see at a glance all the colors I have as well as the different types. I have found having the ribbon right there in the light sometimes helps me to pick colors for the card and then use the ribbon I fancy. Any smaller I have rolled neatly in those divided boxes from Michaels.

I have tons of ribbons stored in various formats and containers; so having a swatch notebook with number codes for the location is great for finding the right ribbon fast.

The pages are cardstock inside plastic sleeves, and each swatch is attached with double stick adhesive. I also included with the ribbon samples of my washi tape, lace trim, and raffia.
