This is what inspired me: https://www.rebsfabstash.com/collect...ow-rp-10710-40
Fabric inspiration challenges always get to me...I want to buy it all. Do I sew? Do I create much with fabric? Nope, I do not. The ribbon in the center was purchased from that one ribbon place that we've had for an IC...couldn't help myself.
I love how those rolls of fabric look, tied with a ribbon, so I pleated my paper (very very very old Christmas paper), tied with twine and then added some of that cute ribbon. Sentiment will be inside.
Thanks for the challenge, Julie!

Love the look you achieved by rolling the vintage Christmas paper ... and I love your snowman ribbon. I agree that this quilting fabric site was scrumptious .... it made me want to make purchases, too, and I don't even sew!

What a clever idea you had! I think this looks exactly how you intended, it looks like a fun stash of Christmas fabric that I can't wait to tear the ribbon off of! Beautiful!

I have that same love of fabric as you do, Jean, and I don't sew or make anything with it either (except in my head). I like the fun direction you took on this fun card. Hugz

Really gorgeous ribbon and super fabric too. I use to sew a lot more than I do now. Now I just send sewing to my MIL since she orders cards from me. I think it is a great trade.
