Pretty cool - you've been finding some interesting challenges lately,Beth - good job!

[beestamper]

FALL FRIENDSHIP

[Stamps'nCoffee]

I sure hope I get a chance to try this cool technique...thanks Beth and genescrapper!!

[golly]

Thanks so much Beth and genescrapper. I can't wait to try this. I found this link interesting.it tells more about the JAPANESE BINDING and some different styles. But for today I think I will stick to the simple ones. Thanks

[genescrapper]

Isn't this an awesome technique!! ~ Thanks, Beth! ~ I sat down with my morning coffee and nearly fell out of my chair when I read your comment that my ribbon binding card was featured in this week's TLC!

[imastampin]

Well, this was interesting. It is something I've never tried before, so that was fun!

There are six layers of cs on my binding edge for stability. I'm not sure I did it right, but it looks right. Does that count? lol

Please take a look and let me know what you think! Here's mine

Thanks!

[bensarmom]

Wow this looks great. Will have to try it later tonight. Thanks ladies for the challenges that help us grow!

[Stampinsilvia]

Well, I took a stab at it Not a technique I'd use all the time, but it was fun and not difficult at all - kinda like a blanket stitch. Thanks Beth and genescrapper!
