Sadly, today is our final day of the i-Magicut Intensive.
But we hope that you've enjoyed the projects that our Design Team has been sharing with you this past week and that you've learned many ways in which to use the fabulous tool.
And even though it's our last day we still have lots of inspiration and stunning projects to share with you today. So let's get started.

"I started by just cutting a bunch of different strips of ribbon. I cut them at different angles and some straight across. I love all the different looks you can get by lining the ribbon up on different angles and how the grid inside the i Magicut helps keep the cut straight. I was just trying it out, but then I figured all those strips of ribbon would add lots of color and texture to a layout, so I tied some in knots others in bows and adhered some straight on squares of Makin' Waves paper."

"I used grosgrain ribbons for my project. With grosgrain ribbons it takes about 8-10 seconds to make a complete cut with the Imagicut. When using a swiss dot ribbon, be sure to place the dots face down; this keeps the wire inside the Imagicut from getting gunky. I cut my ribbons in a dovetail fashion. Just fold your ribbon in half and place into the Imagicut at an angle; press for atleast 12-14 seconds (longer because you are cutting through two pieces). I also used a couple of the 'scrap' pieces of ribbon for the top portion of my layout!"
"We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon and I've had the seashells in a drawer ever since we got back, waiting for the right thing to do with them. I thought it would be cute to create a scene with some sand, the shells and a few other tidbits of goodies like netting and some wire garland. The i-Magicut made my ribbon decoration so easy and fast!!! Love it for this sheer organza ribbon!!!"

ReplyDeleteI love rhonda's card its so gorgeous...such lovely happy colors...and my fave way to adhere ribbon is make small bows with them!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute projects today and all week. A ton of inspiration this week. Thank you so much for that. I love the I-magicut....no more frayed ends. I have been working with ribbon a lot lately and this would ne wonderful to use. I like to use glue dots to adhere my ribbon.
ReplyDeleteLove all the inspiring ways to use ribbon, fabulous projects!!

I use Score Tape along the length of my ribbon, but I also adhere the ends around to the back of the page to hide the fray. Yay I-Magicut no more fray!
ReplyDeleteAs paper crafter, I prefer to cut slots in my projects to provide a place to tie ribbons securely rather than use an adhesive. I often close a box I've made this way.
ReplyDeleteI like to use tiny stables to adhere them. Love the new tool - it would be great to own one!
ReplyDeleteFab projects, love all. I like to glue ribbons with double side tape. Hugs,moni
ReplyDeleteMy favorite way to adhere ribbon to my projects is my ATG gun ~ love it!!
ReplyDeleteI usually put the rigging through my Xyron X. It's so easy
ReplyDeletedepends on what the projects is and what kind of ribbon it is- sometimes I use glue arts glue lines, other times my xyron, and sometimes mini glue dots. Adorable layouts today!
ReplyDeleteI use ribbon adhesives which really work well! Thank you for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteWow great layouts and projects! I usually tape the ribbon to the back of my project and then layer that piece onto a another piece of cardstock, if I don't do that then i use my ATG. Thanks for the chance to win!!

Depending on my project I have used tiny staples, the mini glue dots and adhesive tape (depends on the width of the ribbon). Would love to have this new tool.
ReplyDeleteLove all the projects today. I ususally use glue dots to add ribbon and bows to my layouts and cards. Thanks for the chance to win such an awesome new tool.
ReplyDeleteI love to staple my ribbon to things!!
ReplyDeleteI either use scor tape or I scotch tape it around the back side.
ReplyDeleteI love all these projects, especially Shellye's cute layout with the ribbon banners! Thanks so much for sharing... and the chance to win! I love to make big fat bows for my cards... and using ribbons as borders and strips on a layout.
ReplyDeleteI so want this I-magicut. I have a ribbon obsession. It depends on the project as to how I adhere, but mainly by running it through my Xyron, glue dots or threading it through holes in the project.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the projects today! I use glue dots to adhere my ribbons.
ReplyDeleteI think I probably use adhesive tape the most to adhere my ribbon. Thanks for the chance to win this AWESOME tool! Shannon

Love today's layouts, so fresh and clean! I usually just use tombow adhesive if I'm laying something flat. If it needs a little more stick to it, I use Liquid glass.
ReplyDeletecute layouts! I use my hot glue gun to make sure it sticks!
ReplyDeletei love the different cuts you can still have on the ends of your ribbon. awesome!
ReplyDeleteCute stuff! I use score tape, ribbon glue and the tiny attached depending on what I am making and would Love your new ribbon tool!

Working with paper - glue dots. Working with fabric - good old needle and thread. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI like using glue dots for bows, and my xyron X for ribbon layers!
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance to win.

I, truth be told, have been afraid of adhering ribbon to my projects, so I usually just tie the ribbon around something.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects! My favorite way to adhere ribbon is to use my ATG gun.
ReplyDeleteI use Wacky Tac to adhere my ribbon
ReplyDelete:)
Great projects! I use glue dot brand glue lines to adhere my ribbon
ReplyDeletegreat projects. tfs. i use a very thin strip of sticky tape to adhere ribbon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects. The way I glue down ribbon is glue dots or my other many tape runners. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI use Glue Dots or a tape runner to adhere ribbon. Sometimes a good old fashioned bow holds everything in place! Darling projects everyone!
ReplyDeleteI usually just roll out a layer of adhesive with my ATG and then lay the ribbon on top. SOmetimes I run it through my Xyron.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a great way to adhere my ribbon, but I just got an ATG so I think that will become my go-to.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous projects today
ReplyDeleteI use adhesive tape!

Glue tape works great for me! The ribbon I use is almost always wider than my tape so I just line the back of the ribbon and stick it down.
ReplyDeleteI use glue dots or double sided tape!
ReplyDeleteI love to put my ribbon down with either glue dots or staples. I will also make it long enough to go around the layout and use tape.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to display your momentos Rhonda. You can look at it and remember your wonderful honeymoon every day.
ReplyDeleteI use X-Press It tape to adhere my ribbons and fray check on the ends but that can be very troublesome at times and would so love to get a i-Magicut. Maybe in time it will happen. :-)

I have enjoyed this intensive tutorials. THANK YOU, I use glue dots or my E6000 for my ribbon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for another great week of inspiration and for the chance to win.

I run the ribbon thru my Xyron.
ReplyDeleteMay Arts has a ribbon adhesive that really works!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares or Perma Tac Squares or their Ribbon Adhesive! It all works wonderfully to adhere ribbon down! :) GREAT projects today all!
ReplyDeleteI use double sided tape or glue dots to attach ribbon to my projects.
ReplyDeleteIf it REALLY needs to stick, like even if it gets wet, I use a glue gun.
ReplyDeleteI use ribbon adhesive because it doesn't show through, and it really sticks my ribbon to my paper.
ReplyDeleteWonderful projects highlighting a great product! My favorite way to ahear my ribbons is either with my ATG or just tie it on ... I love a big, beautiful bow!
ReplyDeleteSome really cute ideas
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great tool
More amazing projects today! I love the honeymoon bucket - what an awesome idea! I quite often just tie my ribbons on a card with a knot or bow, but if I need adhesive, my favorite is probably Scor-Tape or maybe Glossy Accents depending on the project! Thanks for the chance to win this amazing tool!
ReplyDeleteOoh, what amazing projects! Thanks for inspiring!
ReplyDeleteLove using Helmar 450 Quick Dry for ribbons. It's liquid, fast drying and does not bleed through even sheer ribbons! :-D
ReplyDeleteGreat projects. Thanks for sharing. I usually use my Xyron X to adhere my ribbon.
ReplyDeleteAmazing projects yet again - what an awesome team you have!! I use different ways to adhere my ribbon to my cards depending on what I'm doing. I use double-sided permanent tape when I want to ruffle/pleat ribbon across a card, PVA glue to attach bows when I have time to let it dry (glue dots when I don't) and a dry glue stick called Pritt Stick to help keep ribbon in place whilst I glue it to the reverse of my paper. Lots of different ways, lol!
ReplyDeleteAmazing creations! I use Aleene's Tacky craft glue or foam squares.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects by the DT! I usually tape my ribbon ends on the back, to keep them hidden! But if the ribbon is shown then its usually tied in a bow and attached with a glue dot!
ReplyDeleteI love to put a strip of ribbon around the cardstock top layer of my card and then tie a bow along the front somewhere.
ReplyDeletesuch fun ideas! I love using ribbon on cards. I've been very inspired with all these ideas.
ReplyDeleteI usually glue down ribbon, but I'd prefer a good alternative because sometimes it's shown on the top side of the ribbon.
ReplyDeleteI usually just glue down my ribbon with ATG tape.. or terrifically tacky tape.. sometimes i use tombo glue.
