Miami Blue - Lime Stitch - #0187 from the SnS July Sassy Kit

Brown - White - Turq - Blue - Aqua Jacquard - #0189 from the SnS July Sassy Kit

My Xyron 150, some chipboard, (I cut out a piece of a beer box so it was not to thick, you could use whatever you have in your recycle box), my Ribbon Iron, My Sizzix and a Sizzix Die.

First Things First:

Use the Ribbon Iron to Iron Your Ribbon.

I cut my chipboard to 3 x 8 inches, the size I wanted to use on my LO.

(The sky's the limit)

Cut Ribbons to the size of Your Chipboard.

Use the Xyron 150, or your own adhesive, to make the ribbon sticky.

Now Place the ribbons however you would like in order to cover the chipboard completely.

I choose to do straight lines to cover up my chipboard.

Trim The Ribbon:

If your Ribbon is Fraying - Use CLEAR Nail Polish to stop it.

All Trimmed Up:

Now take your Die and position it on the chipboard.

I'm using this for a 2 page LO, so I marked where I wanted to cut,
so that it would be evenly spaced.

Use your die cutting machine, and cut it out!!
