May Arts Design Team Project
To start off the week, we have May Arts Designer Charlene Driggs. You will find her project below, but first here is a little bit about Charlene:
Hi! My name is Charlene Driggs. My husband and I live in the Tropical South with our little Havanese, Bentley. We have two grown sons, one lovely daughter-in-law and 2 adorable (of course!) grandchildren.
My favorite paper art projects are gift sets. I love to take ordinary everyday items and turn them into something beautiful using papers, ink, lush ribbons and other embellishments. My style would probably be considered eclectic as I enjoy a variety of styles. My current favorites are Clean and Simple (CAS) and romantic vintage.
I am humbled and honored to be a part of the amazing May Arts Design Team,and the Rubbernecker Stamps and the Sparkle N Sprinkle Design Teams.
Thrifty Gifting Altered Notebooks
As the Prima Ribbonista at May Arts Ribbon, I’m so honored to be sharing with you today on the Paper Crafter’s Library blog. I love all things crafty but my main love is paper crafting. Whether it’s altering an existing product or starting one from scratch, it’s all good. I also love to save money on my paper crafting hobby (habit!) whenever I can.
Gift giving is fun but it can also be costly, so when I’m out at the craft or department stores, I’m always on the lookout for things that can be altered. I picked up a supply of plain notebooks a while ago. I love to keep these in my stash ready to be altered for thrifty gift giving. Using a few beautiful papers, some embellishments and gorgeous May Arts Ribbons, I’m going to show you how you can turn this:
Into this:
There are many adhesives available for this type of paper craft however; I like to use Tombow Mono- Multi because it allows me a few extra seconds to move my papers around to make sure they’re straight. I chose the soft paper line called 5th Avenue by Melissa Francis. I love the soft vintage color pallet in this paper pack.
I like to gather an assortment of ribbons, embellishments and letters together as I tend to create as I go rather than having an exact plan. I try to pick up embellishments whenever I see them on clearance even if I don’t have a plan to use them right away as I’ve found they always get used or shared with a friend.
I chose May Arts 5/8” Crochet Lace (361-58-10), ¾” Velvet in a lush soft pink (PV-34-17), 3/8” Black Velvet Ric Rac
(WR10 ) and for the flower, I used May Arts 3” Black Bias wide Cut Satin (KK10) to compliment these papers beautifully.
To create the flower, I used a pattern by Pins and Needles, May Arts 3” Bias Cut Satin and a candle to curl the edges. I simply followed the directions using the provided pattern, and then added a few pink beads from my collection for the center.
After creating my flower, I cut and measured my papers, then attached them to the notebook front using Tombow Mono-Multi. Next, I layered May Arts Crochet Lace, Pink Velvet and Black Ric Rac ribbons using strong double sided tape over the seam created by the two papers I chose. A strip of narrow double sided tape and some string pearls from my stash covers the top seam. The flower was attached using Crystal Effects as I want to make sure it doesn’t come off during use. A metal lock and Key by Dear Lizzy/American Crafts adds another touch of pink to the color scheme.
The Grunge letters by Tim Holtz (picked up at a local overstock store for $2.99!) were pressed into a black ink pad then attached with double sided tape. For the pen, I just rolled up a narrow strip of the designer paper and shoved it into the pen barrel.
That’s it! A useful, elegant, gift thanks to May Arts Ribbon. Thanks for joining me at Paper Crafter’s Library. I hope you’ve been inspired to create your own “Thrifty Gifts”! You can find Charlene here: Charlene Driggs, May Arts Ribbon Prima Ribbonista
Paper Crafter’s Library Designer Projects
Now, below you can see some projects created by yours truly (Andrea – Creative Director & Founder of Paper Crafter’s Library) and Tracy- Senior Educator/Designer here at Paper Crafter’s Library.
In the card below I used some of the gorgeous May Arts Chevron Patterned Yellow Ribbon (called Twill/Stripes) as an accent to Prima’s Sun Kiss Collection which I used to create the card shown below. We’ve filmed a free video tutorial on how to create the card which you can watch below.
You can watch a video on how to create this Sweet card here.
In the card below Tracy uses May Art’s Baker’s Twine to create the tail on her kite.
There is a video tutorial and handout for this project available to our Paper Crafter’s Library members.
So there you have it! Day 1 of our celebration of May Arts! Be sure to stay tuned for tomorrow’s post with more great projects and another free video tutorial!

Beautiful! Great start to the week. I’m excited to see what’s next! Love May Arts ribbon, too!
Beautiful creations . I love your card. This is going to be a fun filled week. TFS.
When I opened the blog today, I felt like I had hit the JACKPOT! There is so much inspiration here and it is only Monday. First there is Charlene’s gorgeous notebook. I love how you altered the notebook, Charlene. It would be ideal for keeping track of ideas, inspirational moments, etc. Then I learn that the week is dedicated to May Arts. Whoo,hooo! I love their great selection of ribbon! If that isn’t enough inspiration, there is Andrea’s card. Andrea, your card is sooo sweet! The “yellow” pearls really pulled the card together. Great idea to color them to match the card and I love how you used both sides of the bracket. It is a simple tip, but one we all often overlook. Finally, there is Tracy’s beautiful card. It is so inspiring. l love the use of the twine as the kite string and the embossed clouds. I think we are all in for a great week here at PCL! Thanks for an inspiring Monday.
This is going to be fun. I’ve just realized the wonderful value of journals and you’ve posted some beautiful inspiration. All of these projects are great. I can’t wait to see tomorrow’s!

Another great sponsor for a whole week of projects — “yippy skippy!”, as my sibs and I used to say. I happened to open Tracy’s Makeover Monday project first and fell in love with the May Arts vine ribbon, so came back over to the blog hoping to find a direct link to it. I was beyond pleasantly surprised to see you were celebrating a week of May Arts! What a great collaboration. I’m looking forward to lots of fun projects. I really like the notebook and the card. Thanks for rounding up and sharing some of the great talent you find beyond the very talented people at PCL.

I love the “Sweet” card too, is that a rub on or sticker, anyway I just love cards too! Great projects and tutorials keep them all coming!! I wouldn’t mind owning a set of pretty ribbons from May Arts!! Thanks for letting me join in today and a chance to win!!
I love all the projects but the chevron ribbon is the highlight for me today.
Thanks for all the inspiration!
I love ribbons, use them on almost all of my projects. Thanks for the info on where to get the May Arts as we do not have a local outlet. And again another great project, thanks for inspiring all of us.
Love ribbons. would love to add some of these to my next project. I make journals and the ribbons are a great addition. Thanks for the chance to get some of these.
Andrea, I just love watching your videos! You explain everything so clearly, and watching you line everything up so perfectly is so helpful-reminds me to use every tip I can remember to get things looking professional! The notebook cover is also inspiring -I’m afraid I tend to be a hoarder of treasures I find – have to make more effort to use the lovely things I collect! The ribbon choices also look awesome- so glad you post these wonderful ideas!
What beautiful projects and ribbon!
Great looking projects and what inspiration … have to figure a way to leave work early to try an idea. I am addicted to card making and to ribbon. A person just can’t have enough ribbon in their closet 😉
Great tutorials. I’m a ribbonaholic!! Never met a ribbon I didn’t love!!
Loved the card and the altered notebook.I have a ribbon fetish and always looking at more.Hadn’t heard of May Arts ribbon,thank you for the chance to win.
hi,what? a beautiful card love the yellow feel like spring,thank you..
Never think about using ribbon until now. Maybe because I have none.
Love the altered note book idea. Will definitely make some for Christmas gifts. Andrea’s card is gorgeous too!
Lovely! I love ribbon and use it all of the time. It is rare that one of my cards or projects doesn’t have some!
Just took a look at the May Arts Ribbon website. Oh my, it’s fabulous!! If I were to win your giveaway, I don’t know how I could possibly decide on only four ribbons!! Thank you for introducing me to them! And, as always, thank you for your inspiration!!! Love your stuff!
I always enjoy your projects. Thanks for the videos, such a help!
WOW, the ribbon is beautiful. I too love ribbon to add to my cards and other projects.

Beautiful card. May Arts rocks. Thanks for the opportunity to win and for all your inspirational ideas.
Love the card, and as always your video tutorial and PDF instructions are fantastic. May Arts has such beautiful ribbons, almost too many from which to choose. The ribbon added so much to the altered notebook, what a great gift idea. And the kite card would make a great birthday card for a child, big or small.
Beautiful cards, MayArts Ribbon is the best there is, thanks for the chance to win!
I am soooooooo excited. I saw a few of the ribbons today and was just thinking about how to find them. Thank you for the info can’t wait to go to Amazon and see more.
Oh ya, ribbon-ribbon, who’s got the mostest ribbon!!!! Ribbon is like shoes, you can never have too much, and I want that ribbon cabinet and all the ribbon in it!!! I know, it isn’t the prize but a girl can dream. I’ve had this page on my desktop 2 days just looking again and again at the designs and all that ribbon — absolutely beautiful!!
What beautiful ribbon! I love the altered book idea, using the ribbon made it more special
The altered notebook is very nice and those are some very pretty ribbons. Sure would love to win some of that ribbon.
What beautiful projects to start off the week! I love using ribbons in my crafting projects, they just dress everything up and turn paper into something elegant.
What a tutorial. I learnt so much. Use both sides of your die cut never waste now , how to make those tags pop. Love the texture the ribbon gave and the colour. Your rule of thirds on this card. (used twice). Diamonds and pearls do mix. Smashing site and great info . Love you loads . I’ll be back
Great card. Love the color combo and ribbon!

Thank you soooo much for providing resources to purchase these products. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their ribbon line but have been unable to find a source for them locally. I am off to search Amazon and Ribbon Carousel. Doing a HUGE Happy Dance!!!!
Gorgeous! Yellow is my favorite color and this is a great way to use that in a really pretty card. The ribbon adds just the right touch and I’d love to have some to use on my projects! Thanks very much for the chance to win some of this beautiful ribbon.
