Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

June 09, 2025

Large Ribbon Rose

Hi Everybody,

This large flowers rose is created in exactly the same way as the smaller ones shared with you in the video last week.

It has been done using the ruler method and separating out each overlapped petal as I twist it togehter  to create this really large flower.

This is obviously too big to go on a card and so for this one I have added it to a box instead, and the box is big enough to add  a gift to if needed.

The only difference is the width of the ribbon used to create the rose and you can try any size ribbon that you may have to give your different effects for your designs. 

I have added mine to the box top with some silver leaves underneath to complete the look

This rose has ben created with a silver threaded, wired ribbon that is 2" wide.

In the video coming this week I will show you how to create a smaller flower for your cards using a different way to use the ribbon.

I hope you will join me for that video.

You will have to excuse the lack of videos and blog posts for the next few weeks  as everything just looks grey to me until  I can get my eye seen to.

Bye for now ...

Hugs xx
