I'm pretty much a one trick pony when it comes to adding ribbon to cards- knot or bow. Please help me find some new ways to add ribbon to cards.
Thanks!
Heating it with a heat gun, if you do vintage cards: This one is a combined flower as suggested above with a heat gun to crinkle the ends. Narrow ribbon, big button Ribbon Frame (instructions in TLC212)
With the lists above being posts to cards rather than ideas, I just don't have time before work to check if I am making double suggestions. Green ribbon, not to wide, makes a great stem for a big flower.
And I also don't have time to find the cards I am looking for in my gallery, but it looks great threaded through some of the lacier punches, or the scallop borders with eyelet holes in them.
I'll be back after work to check out some of the other links above .
Wow, all your cards are great. My ribbon idea might be simple compared to yours, but I like the look of this and it works on "boyish" cards. It kind of looks like a bowtie. (sort of lol)

Gosh, I hadn't realise how many different ways you can use ribbon - I'm pretty much a one-trick-pony too.
One thing that I do quite a bit, but isn't anything fancy - it's just to add a bit of interest, is add a little scrap of ribbon in a different colour when I am tying a knot. Is good for using up little scraps that I just can't seem to throw away!! See my two examples here:
