Angel Blessings and Ruching Tutorial

by 55 comments


Hi there friends, I went a little bit CAS (or my version of CAS) on you today.   I wanted to do a something that I could showcase with some ruching so I kept things pretty simple.  I do love the look of the ruching though and have a tutorial at the end of this post.    I’m using a sweet set of stamps from Crafty Secrets called Angel Blessings.  It’s a pretty large set that contains these sweet little cherubs and the sentiment that I stamped right under them!!

I ran my ruching up and down the card and sheer ribbon horizontally while I centered a turned rose on top of Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two.  For the main focal panel I cut Spellbinders Labels Fourteen and backed it with an element from Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Doily Accents.  After cutting out most of the image, I finished off the bottom edge with Labels Fourteen.

Here’s a picture from straight on so that you can see all the elements.

SUPPLIES I USED

Stamps: Crafty Secrets – Angel Blessings
Paper: The Paper Company, Xpedx 140lb White Cardstock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Spellbinders Labels Fourteen, Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two, Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Doily Accents, Ribbon (May Arts), Pearls

    Thanks so much for the ruching technique. It is a very lovely effect. Your card is simply gorgeous. I really love how you have added the fleur de lis element to label 14. Fleur de lis is just one of my favorites, and I am so glad that spellbinders has introduced so many fleur de lis die sets this past release. Can’t wait until they arrive.

    Your card is just gorgeous! THANKS SO MUCH for the marvelous tutorials. I tried the rolled flower recently and it was so easy since I could follow your simple instructions.
