The ribbon is an inexpensive and beautiful accessory that can be used creatively for many purposes such as crafting, decoration and many others in several different ways. They can give a stylish and personalized touch to your decoration. You can use it to make birthday card and make your gifts appear luxurious and exclusive.

It’s no matter what style you are going for; a personalized birthday card is a wonderful way to show that special person in your life how much you care.

Today, I’m giving you the best card making ideas possible using ribbons in a creative way:

1. Ribbon Bows

You can transform plain cardstock into a personalized birthday gift with the help of a basic bow. For making this, simply wrap red grosgrain ribbon around white cardstock and tie a classic bow and for an added touch, use a heart-shaped whole punch to create your own cut-out design along the bottom and glue the cardstock onto a red card and write your message on the front.

2. Use Your Ribbon Scraps

For making a special birthday gift, no need to buy new supplies. You just have to collect your ribbon scraps and pick out your favorite color for making a design. From a piece of white cardstock, first cut the shape of heart and flower and any other design that you want to make and after that layer the colored ribbon into a pattern of your choice to fill the empty space. Then, fix ribbon to the back of the cardstock and glue your creation onto a blank white or red card. At last, add establishments like pre-tied bows or jewels along with a message to complete your masterpiece.

3. S-Clip It

If you want to think outside the bow and make something different then an S-Clip can add dimension and shimmer to your card. For this, start with your favorite patterned scrapbook paper to the front of a solid-colored card and after that wrap a sheer organza ribbon around the front and then cut the double-length. Tie the ribbon’s end together to form a circle and with the tied knot hidden inside the card and then fold the looped end of the ribbon on to the front of the card and slide the S-Clip into the loops.

4. Wave of Love

You can try weaving ribbon into your card for another homemade creation. For this, use the birthday’s themed scrapbook paper and a stylish weave ribbon to make this elegant gift. For making this, first fold your scrapbook paper in half, and cut evenly-spaced slits into the front and gently weave the ribbon through the slits. After that, make a final slit on the back fold of the paper along the open side and insert the end of the ribbon that’s inside the card and at last tie the ends together to keep the ribbon secure. Embellish your card with stamps and jewels or keep it simple.

These are the best birthday card making ideas that you can create with a bit of imagination using ribbons and this is also a creative way to customize your birthday card. Similarly, you can use other types of ribbons, like wedding ribbons, for creating specialized and personalized craft items for a particular event or occasion.
