My inspiration came from a package of preprinted crepe ribbon by Tattered Angels.

I chose StazOn ink for this project so that I could ink or spray mist over my stamped images later if I wanted to without the ink running or smearing. I also used regular crepe paper streamer from a party supply store.

I lined up my chosen leaf and branch stamps from the Abundant Blossoms set from myStampBOX and placed them on one acrylic block. I used a length of white crepe paper that was roughly triple the size of my finished product just to make sure I had enough to gather and crumple. I stamped my images over and over down the length of the crepe paper until the entire strip was complete.

I trimmed a 1/2" strip of cardstock that matched the base color of my crepe paper so it would blend in. I ran my tape runner along the length of the strip to make it sticky then attached the stamped crepe paper, gathering and pleating randomly as I went.


Here's another look at the finished project. I adhered my crepe paper ribbon to the front of my card and trimmed it to fit. I love the elegant look of black and white with My Mind's Eye's Meadowlark collection. I finished up the card with a sentiment from the Lines of Life stamps from myStampBOX.
Stay tuned for a follow-up post with another idea for using stamped crepe paper on your crafting projects. Happy stamping!
