Custom Ribbon Colors

Ever started on a project to find you don't have ribbon to match? 
So do you redesign your project? 
No....You redesign your Ribbon.


I always suggest to my customers to keep Assorted 
Whisper White Ribbons on hand at all times. 
There are ways to color your ribbons, 
using your Stampin' Up! colors.
Here are a couple of my favorites.


Starting with your Whisper White Ribbons. 



1.Using Water, Alcohol, or a mixture of both fill one of our
 Stampin' Spritzer Bottles, to right above the label.
Lay your ribbon on paper towel.
  
2.Now add your desired color, using our Re-Inkers, which are available in all our colors.
About 5-7 drops. Recap, Shake and Spritz. 

3.You can let your Ribbon Air Dry or if your in a hurry, I know I always am, Use Our New Heat Tool, Why the new one? Because it has two settings. One is for drying  and works perfect for drying your ribbon. If you don't own the New one yet...(click on the catty picture)

Stampin' Spritzer Bottles  #126185 (2/$2.95)
Re-Inkers assorted #s  also $2.95 each color
Heat Tool # 129053 $29.95

Here are some more samples using their matching card stock to show how well they match.  
Shown, Regal Rose, Daffodil Delight,
 Early Espresso and Rich Razzleberry


Another way to color Your Whisper White Ribbon, is to simply Color them using Our Stampin' Write Markers. I only suggest using this method for smaller pieces. Also color on a "slick" surface to help spread your ink and capture both sides. Remember, to flip and check the back side and edges to make sure the color is complete.
