Question: How do you secure ribbon?

Such as in the card in the link above - I find that I've been using ribbon but not necessarily a bow, so I wrap the ribbon around into the inside of the card and the back of the card. When I use the SU grosgrain ribbon, I can secure it with a glue dot, but any other kind of ribbon, and it doesn't hold, it just pops off - any suggestions?

Another good reason to invest in an ATG...I love using this to attach ribbon. I just run it along the back of the ribbon and voila! Sticks great!

I use Tacky tape for most ribbon that I don't tie in a bow. There are different widths available from 1/8 inch to a full inch.

I use mini glue dots, dotted along the back. I would use three along the front of the card and then a dot on each of the ends to attach it to the card base.

I use Making Memories Ribbon Glue. It's cheap and AWESOME. Got it at Michael's. Plus, it has a TINY tip so it's great for even thin ribbon. The best is that it comes with a small tool to unclog the tip when it gets clogged. Just LOVE it.

I use glue dots or run it through my xyron x. I haven't had any problems with embellies coming off, but I do like to use adhesive!

I'm not sure what an ATG is, but I just use regular Tomboy adhesive rolls or SU sticky strip. It all holds very well.

I just found out about the ATG adhesive gun. I'm sure you need that applicator if you are using the tape.

Thanks for the tips, everyone! I'm going to go look up that gun!
