….before I even noticed. Here is just a small Fresh and Fun Freebie to celebrate the Milestone that just snug by.
Ribbon, ribbon and more ribbon. There are small pieces in it from my bin at my desk. It was overflowing and in need of emptying. There are bigger gorgeous pieces of May Arts ribbon in it. All in all it’s a 6x6x6 priority box full of ribbon!
If you are interested in having a chance to make it all your own and roll in it (optional, but fun choice), please post a comment under this post. Let me know what is a must have on your cards.
You guys know that for me, it’s some kind of stamping with All in a Row and brads. Optional and most likely you will also find something in chocolate chip, ribbon and punching going on. I am big into circular shapes as well.
Please only one comment per person. I will draw a name Friday morning at 9 a.m. with Random.org.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Hands down, I would have to say ribbon. I have been using it for everything! I love it. I haven’t really been using a lot of embellishments but I have been using ribbon on every card I make… 🙂 All of that ribbon is making my mouth water.. lol!
Entry #1
Wow! 550,000!!! Insane! Thanks for the opportunity to win this awesome blog candy.
My must have on a card? Ribbon! 😉 Seriously, I didn’t really use much of it until about a year ago, and now I’m TOTALLY hooked. I absolutely LOVE playing with it – now that I’ve learned how to tie a proper bow and knot!!
Entry #2
congratulations on 550k!! wow… look at all that yummy ribbon!
a MUST for me on a card is… of course, RIBBON!!
Entry #3
Why, RIBBON of course – LOL!! Congrats girl, you have a rockin’ blog!!!!! I am so excited for you!!! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
Entry #4
I think most of my cards have to have some sort of sparkle! I use my clear sakura stardust pen waaayy too much! Stickles and CTMH prisma glitter are the next bling of choice!
Hope I win…I love ribbon too!
Thanks and congrats on all those hits!

Entry #8
ribbon, brads, corner punches, piercing… these seem to be my favorites lately. love your blog!
Entry #9
Congratulations! I love green and I see alot of green ribbon I could make lots of cards with. Keep up the great cards.
Entry #10
Congrats on 550,000…. amazing! I love your stuff on splitcoaststampers (and here!). Most of my cards use ribbon/fiber and then either punched shapes or silk flowers.
Entry #11
Wow, wow, wowie! 550k hits……that is incredible!
Im a sparkly gal, always have been since I was little. If a shirt had sparkles on it I wanted it! And now that I make cards I find that it’s rare that one sneaks by without some glitter or sparkle somewhere.
Also sponging, cant make a card without it somewhere.
Entry #12
Wow – that sure is a lot of visits. I will admit that I visit daily. My new must have on a card is paper piercing along with ribbon or brads.
Entry #13
Beate,
Congrats on 550,000 – WOW!
I would say that I use punches on most every card I make – it adds so much to the card, just a simple ticket corner punch for the layers makes all the difference!
I DO love ribbon, too!
Sandy Kay
Entry #14
Ribbon is the thing I generally cannot do without – so this freebie is perfect! 🙂 Congrats on all those hits!
Entry #15
My newest must for scrapbooking (I don’t make amny cards) is inking/distressing. Absolutely adore it and use the technique all the time
Entry #16
Of course I’m going to say RIBBON because I rarely make a card without it. I recently reoranized my studio and found lots of ribbon I had forgotten about. Time for a challenge to myself to start using it!
You have a fun blog – I always enjoy coming here to see your latest creations! Thanks for sharing!
Entry #17
A must have for me cards? Um… ink! tee hee. Can you tell I woke up on the smart-alecky side of the bed?
Entry #18
Congrats on all those hits! WOW! Dimensionals are usually a must for me, second in line is ribbon, of course! Who can resist all that ribbon yumminess? Blessings to you!
Entry #19
Ribbon (Of course!!), ticket corner punch, sponging and lots of layers….I don’t feel like my card is finished until it has some ‘weight’ to it with lots of layers popped up on dimensionals! Maybe, just maybe, I’ll win something for once in my life! Thanks for a chance to win some GORGEOUS ribbon–and to think, it’s been touched by hands that have such amazing talent!! Here’s hoping some of your talent rubs off on me if I’m picked as a winner! Thanks for sharing your amazing talent with us every day–you are AWESOME! Have a super day! Pam B.
Entry #20
Something (anything) shiny! I think it draws the eye…brad, eyelet, ribbon, glitter, embossing…you name it, but it has to shine.
Entry #21
Holy Moly! That is a huge number of hits! Great little ribbon bits you are giving away! hmmmm what do I use a lot of lately, I bet either my scallop punch or the photo corner punch!!
Entry #22
I am enjoying your blog sooo much … you are so creative! I have just started creating cards, but I would have to say that I put a bit of hardware or ribbon (or sometimes both) on each card. Just something to give it a more dimensional look! Congrats on the popularity of your blog!
Entry #23
Congrats on your visitors!! A must for me is dazzling diamonds baby!!!! I can try not to use some but every time my cards just don’t feel done til they sparkle! I love ribbon and brads too. I have just started collecting ribbon.
Thanks for great candy!
Angie
Entry #24
Ribbon, Ribbon, Ribbon and a little more ribbon! I also love a little Chocolate Chip somewhere too! Thanks for hosting such an awesome blog and updating so much! I know you will always have something for me to see!!! Thanks AmandaCalloway
Entry #25
Ribbon is nearly ALWAYS a must have on my cards, followed only by stickles or some other kind of sparklie stuff. Love the texture and interest that ribbons and bling add to a card.
Entry #26
Absolutely ribbon!! Styles and color choices are endless. Your blog is great, you share so many awesome ideas. Thanks!
Entry #28
Congratulations, Beate! Your blog is fantastic!
My must-have is bling…Dazzling Diamond glitter, Sakura Stardust Gel Pen or A Muse Twinkle Stickers…or any combintation thereof! You just can’t have too much sparkle!
Entry #27
Thanks! I don’t think my cards are complete without ribbon!! What a great give a way.
Entry #29
Congratulations!
Love your blog!
I would have to say ribbons, brads,punches,layering anything to make my cards Pop out and try to look like yours ….of course!
Adoree
Entry #30
My must have on cards is ribbon and more ribbon. I very rarely make a card w/o ribbon. Congrats on 55K.
Entry #31
I must admit that I’m a ribbon junkie — it’s an absolute necessity on most of my cards because it provides that finishing touch.
Entry #32
Just a bit ago there wasn’t a single comment to this and now there is over 30! What a popular blogg! And with good reason, Beate is great! Anyway, on to your question….. I think I use brads alot, but my stamping friends will tell you ribbon. Nothing frustrates me more than to finish a card and then decide it needed ribbon!
Entry #33
RIBBON!!!! is a must have. I also use the ticket corner punch alot. Keep up the great work! I wish I had even half your stamping time!
Entry #34
I have been stampin for a little over a year now and have just recently gottin hooked on the ribbon. I love want a difference it makes! Awesome blog candy!!
Entry #35
CONGRATS BEATE! WOW!! Beautiful ribbon! I love to adorn my creations with ribbon! I can never go into Michael’s Craft Store and come out without ribbon! LOL!
Entry #36Deb
My must-haves — ribbon and brads. Congrats on all those hits! That’s amazing!
Entry #37
Hi Beate,
For me it has to be a crystal or a bit of glitter BUT having just organised my ribbon as seen on my blog ribbon is becoming a fast fave.I have made a unit for my ink pads and my ribbon at fingers reach on my desk so using this should be achievable.
Hugs

Entry #38
I love brads on my cards. Most of them have at least one somewhere. 🙂
Entry #39
Beate, I’m a big fan of yours and in awe of your talent, and it must be that others are, too because of your “bazillion” hits! Your stuff ROCKS! Anyway, my “go to” item when making cards is usually ribbon! That’s why I hope I win this blog candy!!! Thanks for sharing your amazing talent with all of us! ~Jackie W.
Entry #40
OMG, wow, don’t think I will live long enough go get anywhere near that number. Congratuations. Lets see a must have, hmm that is tough, but since I have just come extremely proficient at tying bows, would have to go with ribbon and bows..
Entry #41
I love ribbon! I very seldom make a card that doesnt have some kind of ribbon on it! I love distressing too but seem to be using it less now.
Entry #42
Ribbon, ribbon, and more ribbon. I just think it helps ‘finish’ a card. I have such a hard time creating masculine cards because my husband thinks that any kind of ribbon is girly. I have more ribbon than I know what to do with, but that box of ribbon would be like Christmas to me!
Entry #43
Right now I am in love with little prima flowers…and scallop punches! Congrats on all the hits…I’m not surprised…you have one of the best sites on the web!
Entry #44
oooohhhhh fun!!! I also have a hard time not using ribbon. I don’t think I have enough ribbon!!! Cindy hasn’t been very friendly on my wallet
Entry #45
You sure a reloved by all the hits and comments! A must have for me would be either brads or ribbon.
Thanks for sharing the yum-o ribbon!
Entry #46
Most of my cards end up with a piece of ribbon somewhere, and lately they’ve all had a flower of some sort, too! Thanks for the chance at all that yummy ribbon – it’s something I never have enough of, or the right color, etc. Congrats on 550K! That’s truly impressive and I enjoy looking at what you create and share.
Entry #47
Hi Beate,
I just have to have some ribbon or glitter on my cards. Even the girls in my workshop complain if there is no glitter or ribbon on at least 1 of my cards.
Entry #48
Anything that adds a bit of glitz when doing girly cards – ribbon, glitter, sparkly brads, die cuts in mirror card. Love the card where you were forced to use that pink – think it turned out great with the grey. Your cards are so artistic. Thanks for allowing us to see what you do.
Entry #49
Right now it’s my Marvy Punches…I just got all the circles so I’m getting a bit obsessed.
Entry #50
Wow, what a generous opportunity! Thank-you so much! My must haves are: stamps (of course), ribbon and patterned paper!
Entry #51
It’s no wonder you have so many hits! Your blog and your creations are stunning! Ribbon is also my favorite part of any card! Keeping my fingers crossed for the prize….
~Katie
Entry #52
I love ribbon on my cards, but hardware is also a favorite!
Entry #53
That ribbon looks yummy! I like to have a scripture verse on my cards for encouragement. CONGRATS on your big time blog success!
Entry #54
lol………I try real hard to stay away from it as much as possible but I can’t seem to do anything without a little blue. It’s my favorite color and can’t seem to get away from it.
Entry #55
Congrats! Love your website! For me, I love embossing on a card. I get good use out of my versa mark!!!
Entry #56
Congrats Beate!! Love your blog you are awesome!!
Entry #57
Congrats of the hits, no surprise here though! I would have to go with ribbon is a must! I don’t know that I have made a card without it??? And like you Beate, I feel drawn to chocolate chip too – I have to make myself use something else, and boy is it hard!
Entry #58
I have to admit that ribbon is my favorite thing to add to a card. It can dress up any card and it can be done so fast. My second option would be brads or pop up dots.
Sandy D.
Entry #59
I love your blog. I always seem to need ribbon on all my cards.
Michelle T
Entry #60
Love your blog. I get so many great ideas from it.
My must have on cards are dimensionals (I love the feeling of things popping off the page) and I have to use a punch of some sort.
Maria D.
Entry #61
that is insane!!! i can’t believe all those hits! congrats beate!
emily
Entry #62
Wow, what great ribbon. To be honest with you Beate, I am still trying to find my “style” and don’t have anything that has to be used. I have such trouble putting anything on my cards. Unless I CASE, my cards look horrible. So, maybe it will come with more experience. I do love the looks of ribbon on a card, but then I find I don’t have the right colors. Oh well. I hope I win this so I can try to match up colors!!! Thank you so much.

Entry #63
Mine is an image colored with Prismacolor Pencils.
Entry #64
Ribbon is a must have on my cards. Lately I have been doing a lot of faux stitching thanks to you Beate. I love this idea! I feature chocolate chip an awful lot in my projects as well. I have really been on a Halloween kick lately. I love Halloween and all the fun and frivolity that goes along with it!
Congratulations on surpassing 550,000 hits. You are amazing!
Entry #65
I love distressing my cards in some way…whether it is with ink or shredding the edges of the papers. I love punching my cards too…teehee…that sounds funny! 🙂
Entry #66
CONGRATS! Wow, you are going to be at 1 mil soon! 🙂
A must have for me is stickles!! I love using that stuff. I have a few colors, but usually end up putting the clear one on everything (blanking on the name!) !
Entry #67
Congrats on the hits! I don’t think I can pick one thing as a must on my cards. I have to have stamping, of course! I also usually punch something and I have been doing a lot of paper piercing lately. 🙂
Entry #68
All cards have to have RIBBON on it! Congrats on the huge number!
Entry #69
I have ribbon on almost every card. Most of my cards have chocolate chip paper and right now I can’t seem to stay away from adding corners from the corner punch. Congrats on the 550,000 hits. Wow, that’s crazy good!
Entry #70
My most used item on cards is brads, with ribbon a close second. I love your blog. Thanks for sharing a bit of yourself, and your creative cards!
Entry #71
My must have on cards is…RIBBON!!! Whenever I have a stamp camp, the group always asks, “How many cards have ribbon this month?” and then they usuallly ask me to tie it or give them a finger so they can tie it….not the middle one either 😉
Entry #72
I have been in a rut of lots of layers and sparkle. I have been trying to keep it a bit cleaner by utilizing more “white space.” However, I love patterned paper and use it on almost every card I make. Oh, and Chocolate Chip is my favorite CS, too.
Entry #73
Ha….ironically it is ribbon! I can’t get enough ribbon!!!
Thanks for all your inspiration!
Carol F
Entry #74
What an awesome milestone! The absolute for me is layers! I have a hard time not layering everything! People at church always say they know it’s one of my cards because of all the layers!!!! Ribbon is just a bonus!!! But I love that too! Congrats!
Entry #75
Wow! I am excited I hit 500!!! Congratulations!
One of my must haves is my label on the back…everyone’s gotta know where that card came from!!!
As for embellishments…it just depends on my mood!
Entry #76
Ribbon, ribbon, ribbon! I can’t make a card without it!
Entry #77
Congrats on your milestone! You are so inspirational and it shows in the response people have to your amazing work! Yay YOU!
My must-haves include: glitter, pearlized paper, ribbon, chocolate chip and scallop punches. I bought All in a Row, but sadly can’t figure out how to make it look as good as you do!!!
Entry #78
Congratulations on the milestone.
I always end up coloring with my markers.
Entry #79
I use a lot of ribbon. Eyelets or brads can really give a great finishing touch, too. And I find I’m using cut-out objects mounted on dimensional tape to create a sense of depth more often these days. I enjoy your blog very much!
Entry #80
My cards must have some kind of embellishment. My faves are ribbon and brads.
Entry #81
Congrats on the hits! Right now my must haves on cards are ribbon and anything scalloped. Thanks a million for all of the inspiration you give us!
Entry #82
Great candy Beate! I love ribbon but I also use alot of brads and DP at the moment. I can’t remember a creation without ribbon though…Have a great week and congrats on your milestone!
Staci
I think #83
Ribbon, ribbon, and more ribbon! But I also love Dazzling Diamonds on my cards too.
Entry #84
I love a little bling! Stickles, fire and ice brads, anything with a little glitz. The ribbon looks fun. Maybe I should change my answer to ribbon….
Entry #85
Ahhhhhh, ribbon!!
A must for my cards lately is something sparkly…. stickles, my Stardust pen, Gems…. love to make it sparkly!
Entry #86
Ooohhh so pretty. I would have to say ribbon and buttons. They just add that needed something to my cards. Congrats on 550,000 hits. Wow!!!!!! It just shows how talented you are and everyone loves to visit. TFS 🙂
Entry #87
I’d love to be entered for a chance!
I’m still pretty new at this so I don’t know if I have a must-have. But right now it’s been lots of layers.
Entry #88
This may sound funny…but you have to have a signature and date on the back. I do not throw any home made cards away…I am a collector of them…I love to look back and see who made the card and when. I have several cute stamps and stamp it and my name and year on every card I make. Hugs, Dee in Oklahoma 8^)
Entry #89
I think my must have is probably printed paper. I dont’ think I even know how to make a card without having some kind of pp on it! heh! =) Congrats on all your hits!
Entry #90
What a beautiful bunch of ribbon and what a generous person you are! Right now, I use flourishes on everything, so they’d be a must. Thank you for your wonderful blog.
Entry #91
I would have to say ribbon… I can never buy enough or use enough on cards! 🙂
Entry #92
Must haves for me would be stamps, pretty papers and some type of doodling!
Thanks for all your inspiration, Beate!
Entry #93
Wow! Look at that ribbon! :0)
For me right now? Sanded background stamp is on everything…and I mean everything I am stamping! and of course my Sakura Clear glitter pen too! :0)
Entry #94
Ahhh ribbon is my biggest ‘must have’ but lately I’ve glittered just about every card too. Whatever makes me happy makes my cards happy!
#95
wow! congrats on the hits! 🙂 A must have for my card is ribbon.
Entry #96
Love your blog. Lately all of my cards have to have texturing, sponging and paper piercing.
Entry #97
Ever since I discovered the Bag o Buttons from Foof a la I am in love with them !! You get a lot of cool ones , great colors and the bag was only 5.00 . I can actually use them without feeling like i’ve parted with a fortune !!
Entry #98
A must have on cards hmm… lots of layers, and fun embellishments. Ribbon is a staple, brads (especially the new rhinestome ones from SU!) and lots of color. I love lots of color.
Amy
Entry #99
must have for me is either pink or brown, ribbon, and some sort of sparkle. right now i am loving heat and stick with glitter. life’s too short not to shine!
Entry #100
Definitely RIBBON!! I really just can’t make a card without it!!
Entry #101
For me it has to be ribbon…..my new love!!! Of course I always use my stamps, but the ribbon gives it that extra little umph! Have a great day 🙂
Entry #102
On probably 99% of the cards I make there has to be sparkle. Whether it be glitter, stickles or bling there has to be something and then next ribbon. But sparkle just makes me happy!!
Entry #103
I’d love to roll in that gorgeous pile of ribbon! A must for my cards is… ribbon! I should make a point of using more primas, though. I have quite a collection and I feel guilty when the beautiful flowers just sit there in their pretty little jars.
Congrats on all the hits!!
Cindy
Entry #104
Ribbon and brads,Ribbon and Brads, Ribbon and brads….
But I did just order “All in a Row” – finally!
Congrats on 550,000!
Entry #105
Definitely some kind of punch, especially the corner rounder. Coloring of some sort is also there. I’m really liking chocolate chip or close to cocoa in combination with some bright color like tempting turquoise.
Entry #106
Thanks for the wonderful blog candy! A must have for me lately is sponging the edges. I love the depth it gives the card.
Congrats on 550K!!!
Entry #107
I think my must have on a card is brads! Congrats on the hits!
Entry #108
Wow 550,000 – amazing – Congratulations.
Must haves for me on my cards would have to be brads, piercing/stitching and ribbon. I also love layers.
Entry #109
Of course, it is ribbon. The new ribbon in the fall mini is mouth watering. I also love to use brads. They seem to add dimension to all designs. It is no wonder you have so many hits. You keep your blog current and have marvelous things to teach and show. Barb
Entry #110
I have great difficulties in avoiding inking/staining all the edges of the papers with fluid chalk…it’s such a great effect! Apart from that, my white ZIG gel-pen is used in all my cards, to highligt things in the motive or to make “stitches” around the edges.
Thanks for this little competition, and congratulations on your milestone!!
Entry #111
Wow…who can’t have too much ribbon…that happens to be a must have on my cards along with some brads. Congrats and thanks for sharing!
Pat
Entry #112
#113
I must have ribbon!!!
I absolutely love to put ribbon on the cards I make. Thanks for making this possible again. I hope I win.
Entry #114
Oh, what a heavenly prize! For me, the only must-have is ribbon, and the more there is the better I like it 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win some!!
Entry #115
What a testament to your fantastic creativity! Congratulations on 550.000 hits! I am in awe of your ability and how much you are able to get done wearing all those hats (Mom, Wife, SU Demo, SCS, blogger, etc). I am convinced you must never sleep! I would have to say layers, ribbon, and paper piercing. I will be doing a major “happy dance” if I win! Thanks for inspiring so many of us each day!
Entry #116
well…I alwatys seem to add brads…I never let me brads run out!! I also am just loving the new “fat” ribbon!!
all that ribbon looks so fun…thanks!!
Entry #117
What beautiful ribbon!! Lately, all of my cards have had ribbon as an accent or focal point so I could definitely use more!!
Entry #118
I always put ink in some form on the edges of my layers. It definitely finishes off the card.
Entry #119
I love to put ribbon, brads, flowers or chipboard on my cards. Thanks for the chance to win some “candy”.
Jannette
Entry #120
Hello there..
I’d definately say ribbon…. It just really seems to finish a card off! Congrats on such a sucessful blog!
-Ginna
Entry #121
Paper piercing, sparkle, and ribbon (not necessarily in order of importance, of course)!
Entry #122
It’s true for me, too… I use ribbon on almost ALL my cards — it’s usually handy, doesn’t require electricity or special tools… Easy (and beautiful, too — all the better!). Thanks!
Entry #123
I must have brads or ribbon on my cards. They feel naked without them! Thanks for the chance to win! Your blog ROCKS!
Entry #124
Probably more than anything else, I use brads or eyelets. They just seem to finish off so many different cards.
Entry #125
Right now I am into patterned paper. I think it adds so much to a card. I love it. And of course, I almost always put ribbon on my cards.
Entry #126
I love anything round, a stamp, an embellishment, a punch, paper, etc. It just seems to offset the boxiness of the card and give it some extra zing!
Entry #127
Congrats On all the hits. Your log is amazing.
I can’t seem to make a card unless I have ribbon somewhere on it.
Plus I seem to be reaching for my scallop punches a lot.
Entry #128
Congrats on 500K Beate! Cards feel naked to me without brads and ribbon. Of course since I got my cuttlebug, I’m hard pressed to produce something without texture – even if it’s just a tiny little bit…he-he.
Entry #129
Congrats on your 550,000 hits. I must say I visit here often just waiting for you to post something new. So if you ever feel like you are being stalked it’s probably me! My must of a card is my ticket corner punch, just can’t do a card without it. Also pattern paper, I used to dislike it on my cards but thanks to you I am seeing it in a whole new light. Lately it seems like everything I stamp has the Holy Triptych set in it but I am working on a project right now that doesn’t so that is about to change. Thank you for a fanatasic blog that keeps me inspired to stamp, stamp, stamp! Tonya
Entry #130
Beate…….I love your blog with all the fresh ideas. Thank you!!! On my cards, I use a lot of sponging with chocolate chip or close to cocoa, glitter, and ribbon.
Entry #131
Beate, You are to be HIGHLY COMMENDED for a great blog! I love the Sketch Challenges, and all the samples that you share with us. Thank you so much!!!
Entry #132
I love Ribbon……. I also am starting to use the all in a row…I only bought it because of you…. Congrats on your hits..
Entry #133
Must have layers and (of course) ribbon!
Entry #134
I am addicted to my SU! distressing tool! I love using it on layers of my cards ;O) I hope I get to roll in that ribbon!!!
Entry #135
Congratulations! My latest accesory has been Primas and if I win it will probably be ribbon! Thanks, Sandra
Entry #136
550,000 hits is awesome. I know I’m one of the Fresh and Fun addicts! I think the thing I use on every card I make is sponging. It has a way of bring all the layers together. I also love ribbon (random must pick me!) and brads as they add the dimension you are looking for!
Happy Day to you!
Entry #137
I love the look of faux stitching! I’m hoping to get my All In A Row stamp set tomorrow. With out that stamp, I paper pierce and connect the dots with my SU markers.
Entry #138
Wow, you have ALOT of posts…a “must have” is RIBBON of course! Gotta have it. Thanks for your inspirations!
Entry #139
I love to layer and use of various embellishments.
Entry #140
Ribbon of course! No card or scrapbook page is complete without a little ribbon. Thanks for all your great sketches and inspiration.
Entry #141
My all time favorite would be ribbon followed closely by brads. Your blog has so much inspiration – I visit several times a day. Thanks for sharing your work and sketches.

Entry #142
Ribbon is a must! And it is terrible when I don’t have just the right color. 🙁
Love your blob – I think I am entry #143
WOW! Congrats on the hits, Beate! And I would love the ribbon. A must have….hmmmm…I think the only thing for me is that is a MUST have is a neat card. I like for my cards to have straight edges and not be smeared or messy. 🙂
Entry #144
What a fun contest! Of course I love ribbon, but one of my must haves lately seems to be chipboard! I love that stuff! I would also love to have more ribbon!
thanks!
Lori
Entry #145
Ribbon! HOpe I win this fabulous blog prize 🙂
Entry #146
Oooh, pick me, pick me! My current favorite must have is a scalloped circle and a sentiment in the middle.
Entry #147
The ribbon looks fabulous! My card must-haves include straight lines, background images, and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I just love how the dimensionals make everything ‘pop’.
Entry #148
What a perfect way to celebrate! Congratulations! And how convenient that ribbon is my must have on nearly every card I make! Just think what I could do with all the ribbon!!!!
Entry #149
If I must only pick one I would hands down say sponging! My cards just don’t look finished and blended without it!
thanks for the chance to win! amazing number of hits!
Entry #150
550 000! Wow! I know a few of those are mine 😀
I can’t seem to make a card without layers, and stickles are a great accent too, as long as I’m patient enough to let them dry….
Entry #151
I love, love, love your beautiful cards. I have admired your work for a long time, way before you became so famous. The ribbon is fabulous, what delightful prize.
Entry #152
I FIND MYSELF ALWAYS PUTTING A BRAD ON MY CARDS… THE RIBBON WILL BRING A NEW TOUCH TO MY CARDS.. THANKS FOR SUCH INTERESTING CARDS!! I ENJOY THEM
Entry #153
Ribbon is a MUST for me! My cards and projects f are naked without it! We can’t have naked cards, can we? Thank you for all your hard work! It is well appreciated!
Entry 154
Of course we want to roll in the ribbon. Is that really an optional activity? 🙂 Congrats on the crazy number of hits … all because of you and the amazing inspiration that you so generously share!!!
My must-have? Texture. Which most often means ribbon, but sometimes means piecing or piercing or other embellishments. Mostly ribbon!!!
Entry #155
A card HAS to have ribbon on it, of course! LOL I feel weird when a layout or design doesn’t include ribbon, so usually I then add a Prima or 2. Thanks for the fun freebies and congrats on the success of your blog!
Entry #156
I am addicted to ribbon! I love it! I love the colors! I can never get enough! I use alot of it. I also love brads!! Another thing that I have really been into lately is distressing my cards. I have to have some kind of B&T paper and of course use my favorite stamps!
Entry #157
Must have on my cards: ribbon and glitter – I love Dazzling Diamonds. But since I’ve been on Beate’s group, I am loving the punches and brads more too. Thanks for this chance to win, Beate.
Entry #158
Um…clean lines, LOL!! Look, I’m putting the entry # this time too 🙂
Entry #159
Congratulations on hitting 550,000! That is awesome! Gosh, pressure to decide what a must have is for a card and to only choose one!! I think for me a must have is an embellishment. Of course, embellishments can be ribbon, buttons, flowers, brads, etc….. Boy I think I stuck to the one must have!
Entry #160
Congratualations on hitting 550,000! I am still very new to cardmaking but I am seeing that my cards seem bare without some type of embellishment; especially ribbon. I am also partial to brads. 🙂
Entry #161
Already?!? That is awesome, just shows how much your blog is a must visit! A favorite on cards for me I would say brads, bling or ribbon. Although I am finding that I do not have enough ribbon so this candy would be great! Thanks for the opp!
Entry #162
I think ribbon, stickles, punches and brads are just a must have on a card. My boxes are full of ribbon, but you cannot have enough gorgeous ribbon, right!!!
Entry #163
Wow, seems like you just hit 500,000, and now 50,000 more?!? Congratulations!!!! Hm…. a must have for cards…. this isnt really a specific product, but it would have to be some kind of distressing (ink, edge distresser, sandpaper, etc.).
Madisson
Entry #164
My answer seems kinda obvoius…It’s RIBBON! Thanks for the chance and congrats!
Entry #165
Beautiful ribbon, how could I not comment on that? My must have for cards is layers, lots of layers!
Entry #166
I’m new to this all, but I’m big into…
– ribbon
– brads
– layers
By the way, I love the things you make!
Entry #167
I can’t believe you have so many hits! I barely have over 4,000. There are things I must do on a card I sponge ink on almost everything !
Entry #168
Congrats on the HITS!!! I always include ribbon on my cards and thanks to YOU, I now use (maybe even abuse) the All in a Row stamp set. I LOVE the stitching stamp. Thanks for a chance at the ribbon…your site is a must see for me every day!
Entry #169
Congrats on so many hits. The one thing that has to be on my cards…STAMPS, hehe. On a more seriously note, layers. I am just getting into this. I have seen so many cute cards and they have tons of layers. By the way your blog is AWESOME!!!

Congratulations on all the hits!
Yosha
Entry #175
I love looking at your site. I see why you got so many hits. One thing I use on almost all my cards is ribbon. I buy the ribbon and then try to make the card
Entry #176
Congrats on the hits! What a milestone! Other than ribbon being a necessity on a card, I also either have to have glitter or flowers on a card……I can’t live without them!
Entry #177
OMG!! That’s a whole lotta hits! Congrats!!
Always a must on my cards? Something to color with pencils! Then comes ribbon and brads. That’s all I need! 🙂
Entry #178
Congrats…weren’t you just at 500,000? GRINS!
Entry #179
I love the look of ribbon on a card. If no ribbon than brads or eyelets. Congratulations on the success of your blog – you are certainly talented!
Entry #180
Congratulations!! I love using my punches or cutting out images for my cards. You can fill up any spaces that look too empty this way.
Entry #181
Hi there! I very rarely make a card or project that does not have some sort of ribbon on it. I love ribbon. It always adds the right touch. Congrats on 550,000! You’re awesome!
Entry #182
I always love to include rivets in my projects. I like using the hole punch and hammer!
Entry #183
A must have on my cards is ribbon – I try to include it everytime. I just love the way it looks.
Entry #184
I am too new to this card making thing to have any “Must Haves” other than paper and ink! Thanks for the chance to win. I have been using ribbon on some of my cards, but in the same way each time. I need to look for more ways to use ribbon!
Entry #185
Love your blog – read it daily! My “must have” on a card would be ribbon, of course BUT if I couldn’t have ribbon, I’d have to have glitter. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas, cards and tips.
Entry #186
My must have is usually some sort of dimensional adhesive even though I know it’s probably going to mean an extra 17 cents at the post office.
Entry #187
Lately, it’s been some fun ribbon or a punched out accent/item that’s been included on most of my cards. Congratulations on all of the visits to your blog!
Entry #188
Hi Beate,
Congrats on your milestone! What must I have on a card? I’ve not thought of it that way…but every card I make has a brad or an eyelet on it. Sometimes for function, sometimes “just because.”
Entry #189
congrats on the hits! for me it would have to be demension! I love when a card pops and try to make sure my cards have layers! and I hord all my assesories so I’m trying to make an effort and have something on every card! lol
Entry #190
Your blog is awesome. I would have to say ribbons and brads are my haves. Thanks for all your great ideas.
Entry #191
Congrats!! A must on a card has to be ribbon!!
Entry #192
That is alot of hits!!! Wow…your blog rocks! Definetly stamps is a must on cards.
Entry #193
My must have? Matting or layering of some sort. I don’t think I could do a card without a layer – even if I used “faux layering” technique! And guess what ribbon is – – an opportunity to add a layer!
Entry #194
I usually always have ribbon on my cards with either a bow or prima. You hits are starting to go through the roof they are flying in so fast:)
Entry #195
Congrats on your oodles of hits! I love the layered look, especially with scallops. I always use embellishments of some sort…mostly ribbon and often times glitter, brads or primas.
Entry #196
Wow….half a mill and beyond. Well deserved for sure!! Well a card is naked without ribbon so that is a must but I am finding I am liking the Primas so I need to ‘invest’ in some more of those. I also can’t stop using my Scallop ovals and I can’t imagine a card without patterned paper although I should try that someday! LOL! Congrats and keep up the great work!!
Entry #197
Like most stampers, I have to have ribbon on my cards. Congrats on all those hits!
Entry #198
For me, it is all about the hardware. I love brads, eyelets, clips. The only problem is I don’t want to use them too often cause then they’ll be all gone!
Entry #199
Congratulations!!! You are amazing, Beate!
I can’t seem to make a card lately without ribbon and faux stitching. I’m in a rut!
Thanks,
Lisa
Entry #200
Congratulations on the 550,000 hits on your blog!!! Thanks so much for your great ideas and beautiful creations. I would have to say that for me, no card is complete without some sort of embellishment, whether it’s a brad, ribbon, photo corner, staple or faux stitching. Ribbon is my most favorite of the bellies!!!
Entry #201
Wow, YOU GO GIRL!!! Congratulations on all your posts. Your amazingly creative and I love your blog and visit daily.
Thanks for sharing in celebration with us!!!
Look forward to seeing more creations for a long time!!!

Okay, for me with cards, I’m addicted to ribbon and there’s usually some paper piercing too. Congratulations on your wild success and enormous popularity, you stamping goddess! *wink*
Entry #208
My must have is definitely ribbon…I am a bit addicted but right now Stickles come in a close second!
Entry #209
550,000! Holy Cow! I would say that I’m all about the scallop punch right now. My original one was defective and I just got my new one so the novelty of it hasn’t wore off quite yet.
Entry #210
*drool drool* Yummy Ribbon! Congrats and thank you!! I have a tough time making a card w/o ribbon. Or glitter/bling of some kind.
Entry #211
I would have to say ribbon, of course. I enjoyed looking at your cards. They are great.
Entry #212
Wow congrats on all the hits, your blog is awesome. I think I would have to say something cuttlebug be it embossed or die cut. Love the look. Thanks for the chance to win.
Entry #213
My cards need to have some type of stamping on them. I am getting where I need some type of embellishment on it – brads, eyelets, or RIBBON!!
Entry #214
a half million hits? I’m impressed!
Must haves for me are patterned paper and ribbon!
Entry #215
My must have(s) are ribbon, like most people, but lately, I can hardly complete a card without at least one punch! But I must ask, Beate, when you use All In a Row for the faux stitching, how do you achieve the look you do? When I try it, part of hte imprint seems to be “missing”. In other words, the two layers of cardstock don’t seem to allow me to get the full impression, no matter how hard I press. Any suggestions? Thank you soooo much for the constant inspiration you freely share with all of us, your devoted fans! You’re such a blessing!
Entry #216
Ribbon, ribbon and more ribbon, oh if I would be so lucky to win! Love ribbon as much as paper, and tend to hoard it just as much as paper!
Entry #217
I don’t necessarily have a must have, I see so many beautiful cards that I love trying all of them.
Entry #218
I have to have glitter. I just can’t help myself…It seems to end up on everything I make! (My husband always points out some on my clothes, too. But at least I sparkle!) Thanks for the giveaway!
Entry #219
mine is ribbon for sure! I think I put some on every card.
And I am a ribbon a-holic big time!
Entry #220
Inspiration is a must have for my cards! I love seeing beautiful ideas on your blog and others who post. I try to re-create something similar using what I stamps, paper or embellishments I do have. And foam pop dots seem to always show up!
Thank you for inspiring me! Congrats on your 550K hits!!
Entry #221
Patterned Paper lately… and I always love to add some pretty ribbon.
Entry #222
wow, beate. your counter is getting a workout this year!
what’s a must on my cards? layers…I cannot make a single layer card.
happy labor day weekend!
Entry #223
Not to be redundant…but a card must have ribbon! Close runner up is the new bling bling brads (the crystals). How did we ever live without them?
Entry #224
My cards don’t seem complete without ribbon.
Congrats on the hits!
Hugs,
Colleen

Entry #228
Wow, lots of ribbon! Your blog is awesome, thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Entry #229
Congrats on all your hits, you offer such a wonderful blog full of inspiration and great tutorials along with funny chit chat. I always enjoy stopping by. 🙂
As for my favourite element, I would have to say for the most part it’s embellishing. I like to fancy my cards up, I’m not much for Plain Jane cards. That’s the fun of card making, the time you put into a card. Ribbon is a favourite, so of course I’m drooling at your giveaway assortment! Pick me! Pick me! lol 🙂
Thanks for the chance to play!
Entry #230
Well…without a doubt…first I MUST have some sort of background stamping….even if I have a teeny little “edge” of c/s showing, covered by designer paper…I MUST have that little edge background stamped. I also would have to say, almost every card I make has a brad or an eyelet on it somewhere…most likely a brad, but, I still use eyelets, even though they aren’t as “trendy” as brads!!! Another element that is most likely to appear on my cards is ribbon…all kinds of ribbon! I like silky ribbon, rough grosgrain ribbon, sheer ribbon, ribbon with stripes, ribbon with polka dots, ribbon ribbon ribbon. Back to the must have question though…I can’t think of a card I’ve made without background….
Congrats on the hits!
Trudi
Entry #231
I use a LOT of ribbon on my cards…it is a given…just like cardstock. But, I also have been using the Ticket Corner punch on almost every card! I love that little rounded corner! lol!
Thanks for sharing the Blog candy and congrats on 550,000! Someday my little Blog will get there…maybe the next millinium!

I have a list of stamping blogs I check all week long. I absolutely love reading all the new techniques offered and the awesome cards everyone makes. I work long hours during the week that I sometimes have a hard time trying to sit and stamp over the weekend. But how I love it. I even incorporate some of my photos mixed with a frame and ribbon on some cards.
congrats on all your hits. I know I do see all the messages you send.
Thanks
Jan

My latest “must have” for a card is my paper distressing tool. I love the look it adds and gives the card great texture! Loving the shot at this ribbon….beautiful, juicy, fun colors!! Thx!!
Entry #235
I love punches! The ticket corner is my most used. I know this because I lost it and lost count of how many times I reached for it. I am also loving the photo corner punch. After punches… ribbon!
Entry #236
Ribbon is a must for me. When I make cards they never look finished without ribbon. Robin
Entry #237
Wow, what must-have? I guess stamping is a must-have, and most often some kind of patterned paper….or bg paper I make with stamps. Gotta love brads…oh and ribbon…and metal, I love metal…do I really have to choose? I do something different on all my cards! 🙂
Entry #238
I love using ribbon and fiber. Does that count as one thing? Used together they are fantastic!
Entry #239

Entry #258
Oh my word what an amazing milestone! WHoo Hoo!
For me I love to use a pritty flower and a doodlebug jewel, I seem to chuck one of those of most of my cards. I love ribbon (dont we all) this generous package is going to make someone very very happy.
Entry #259
Roll in it? Will I have to shrink to fit in the 6 ” box? my toes might fit,so I will toe roll in it.
I have to use my distressor on almost everything. I love the torn edges of paper and rolling it with my fingers.
Entry #260
I love visiting your blog nearly everyday. You are so created and such a source of inspiration to me.
My “must have” on a card are brads. No doubt about it. I love, love, love brads. Secondly, it’s ribbon. I can pass on pretty much anything else, especially eyelets.
Thanks for having such a great blog and for offering such goodies. Congrats on the huge number of hits!
Entry #261
Another great milestone! Congrats. My cards are almost always ribbon-ized. I’m also using a lot of brads, patterned paper and my SU ticket corner punch. How did I manage without it for so long?

Congratulations on 550,000 hits. It’s easy to see why, you’re such an inspiration. I’ve noticed that most of my cards require something Green as it’s my favorite color and ribbon tied off center is a must.
Entry #272
500,000 is incredible! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us so generously! I know this takes a lot of time. My must have is ribbon—and some kind of metal. I’m not too picky when it comes to metal, but something…..brads, ties, anything from the hodgepodge collection! Ribbon is the first must have however!
Entry #273
Ribbon is a must have on my cards. I love buttons, brads, or eyelets too, but ribbon is the one thing I reach for most often. 550,000 is a lot of hits. You have a wonderful site and are very talented. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Entry #289
Saying hi from Haiti and thank you for being my virtual stamping world, Beate. Your site gets me connected. Favorite must have for a card is the ticket punch…and I got into this because of you! I keep that punch in my husband’s childhood tiny toy wagon on my desk, along with my scoring blade and adhesive remover square.
Entry #290

Heather
Entry #296
Wow ~ congrats on all of your hits!! It seems that all of my cards include ribbon &/or flowers!! What a fun giveaway 🙂 ~rae
Entry #297
I love including glitter on my cards, and if I can’t include glitter on it somewhere, then I include a ribbon and if I can’t include either then the brads have to come out! I feel very sorry for the card if I can’t include any of these things! A card isn’t a card without some sort of embellishment!
Love your site Beate, thanks for the inspiration.
Entry #298
It has to be ribbon. I love it on everything I make. That is a great reason to post a comment and hope to win this blog candy!!

Congrats on your newest milestone!! I must add a little bit of bling to all my cards- usually glitter, stickles or flashy brads!!
Entry 304
Hi Beate,
I love your website…please count me in for the pretty ribbon! I have to say a must on every card is RIBBON…I have a hard time creating a “finished” card without ribbon on the card. My stamp club thinks I am obsessed. BUT…they are all coming around to my way of thinking. hahaha.
Entry #305
Wow- this is becoming a weekly deal meeting your goals. Way to go Beate! I distress everything. A bit of sponging that ole’ creamy caramel is a MUST! And lately I haven’t been able to get the white gel pen off of my desk. Love your cards, colors and because of you I MUST have all in a row! Thanks for the inspiration.
Entry #306
I am really partial to ribbon and brads…. it’s a toss up between the two!

A must have for me are brads. Hard to get away from them and try something new. They are quick, easy and come in different shapes and sizes to add the perfect accent. But…ribbon is good too! Thanks for the chance to win some, and congrats are your wonderful blog.
Entry #310
Congrats on your hits… Love ribbons and would love to get more… but I think dimension is something I always have to have… so dimensionals would be my pick. :o) TFS!
Entry #311
you are a popular girl! And just the sweetest 🙂 not flattery, I honestly think so.
Anyhoo, my favourite stuff to go on cards?? ARGH I like to have lots of stuff on my cards. At the moment, my favourite things are scallops and brads and BLING and ribbon… gotta try and get a punch in there somewhere ~ and choccy chip ~ love that colour so much! Who woulda thunk I’d ever be hooked on brown? And just recently I have started sponging ink on the edges of everything ~ love that look… okay, shutting up now!
hugs, Tracy
Entry #312
Congrats Bette! I seem to be matting all of my layers this week. Layers, Layers, Layers.
Entry #313
Distressing/sponging. I am ribbon challenged and hoard it instead of use it – help me!!
Nancy
Entry #314
Awesome job! I’m never surprised by the numbers because your cards and pages are beautiful and I check daily!!! Of course I love ribbon but am loving the punches, especially the scallops!
Needless to say I would LOVE to be the winner, thanks for the chance.

Entry #315
Congratulations on your blog hits. That’s incredible but only goes to show you how loved you are in the Stamping community.
For me it’s: Ribbon, Punches and Dazzling Diamonds. Right now myself and my office are covered in Diamonds…..hope I don’t have to go anywhere today!
Entry #316
Ribbon, ribbon, ribbon…I can’t think of a card I’ve made recently that didnt’ have ribbon on it somewhere…it might be a rut but what a beautiful rut to be in! Thanks for offering the candy.
Entry #317
Up here in Canada where the weather can be cold, I have to layer and layer some more, then wrap everything in ribbon lots and lots of ribbon and finally a little bling (SUp’s new Rhinestone Brads)
Entry #318
A must have on my cards is almost always my pop dots. I just can’t seem to get away from them. They are my most fav thing to use when I think my card is lacking something. I just take them and raise up the cutest item on the card. I also love my chocolate chip ink. I find I use it alot to stamp out my bella images because I think it keeps the edges softer than the black. Congrats on your milestone.
Michelle
Entry #319
Congrats on so many views!! I’m not surprised either-yours is one of my ALL TIME favorite blogs!! Your work is beautiful-you’re such an inspiration!
I think I too have to go with ribbon. It’s the one thing, I think, I can say is on most all my cards. Ribbon can just give a card that ‘little something’ it needs.
Entry 320
Wow that is a great amount of hits, Awesome, Congratulations!
I gotta have ribbon on my cards and dimensionals 😆
TFS
Erica
Entry #321
LOVE your blog and all the wonderful ideas! My must-have on cards is ribbon. I’m a ribbon miser — I collect it, but then hate to use it! I almost always put it on card somewhere though; just a little piece folded and tucked under the edge of an image, sometimes a piece knotted and glue-dotted on.
Entry #322
ribbon is a must for me on all my cards, even for masculine cards I try to find some way to have ribbon on them..lol
Entry #323
Congrats! You are such an inspiration! Ribbon and deminsionals, a must!
Elaine
Entry #324
Love your work! You are truly an inspiration. I have been using lots of dimensionals on cards lately to pop things up. And ribbon..of course!
Entry #325
Congratulations on all the hits! Ribbon is my favorite embellishment..I use it on pretty well all my cards…(masculing included).
Entry #326
Beate – Love your blog. I MUST MUST MUST have ribbon on my cards. When i get a card with ribbon i know someone had to spend their extra time working on it so i like to make sure mine are the same!
Entry #327

Entry #330
Good heavens girl, 330 comments! That’s astronomical!!!
Love the ribbon, there is almost always some ribbon on my cards; as well as brads…love both of them! Really like your newest creations, they are fabulous as usual!!! 🙂
Entry #331
550,000 hits?? OMG…that is insane! You are one hot blog momma.LOL. I don’t know about rolling in the ribbon, though. I think that’s a misdemeanor here in TN! Love Ya!
Entry #332
I’ve been using SO much ribbon lately – and I almost always use eyelets or snaps. What can I say – I love my Crop-a-dile!
Entry #333
Guess what. I seem to be using ribbon on all my cards lately. The project doesn’t seem to be complete without it. Congrat on the HUGE number of hits!!
Entry #334
Wow! Congratulations on all your visitors! Your blog is awesome, I love checking in. There are so many cool ways to make our cards look great I don’t stick to one thing but it does always need that “something”! I love paper piercing!!
Entry #335
I seem to have an obsession with piercing. I can’t complete a card without piercing a corner, and edge, etc. Your blog is the best, and that ribbon is so awesome! If I won, you can bet I’d be rolling in it like a cat in catnip!!
Entry #336
Congrats on all the hits! I love, love, love ribbon on a card! I don’t always use it (gasp!) but it can really make a card gorgeous.
Entry #337
Great color is a necessity on any card.
Congrats on the hits!
Entry #338
I want to roll in the ribbon…. Sounds like fun – my little Yorkie does it every chance I turn my back… She thinks she is sooo cute!!! Must haves for my cards… brads or eyelets and ribbons (unless it’s man card – my DH says they can’t have ribbon -too girly)
Congrats on your blog!
Entry #339
Uh, can you say ribbon? I put ribbon on EVERYTHING! Every project I do has ribbon somewhere on it.
Entry #340
Congrats!!!! Well I’d have to say RIBBON it’s a must have on my cards and if I win this would make a great addition to my already huge stash.
Entry #341
You’r the best. Love your blog.
Gotta have a WOW!!! A great card is not finished without a WOW.
Thanks, S
Entry #342
Of course it has to be ribbon or fibre, a card is not complete without it but I must confess to being partial to some metal hardware just now, loving cheeky clips or tiny metal words. I could go on because I just love anything on a card but I will stop before I send you to sleep!
Entry #343
wow sooo many hits well done… but not surprised its a great place.
When doing a card or a LO it has to be ribbon at the moment… i live for ribbon of any kind
Well done again

entry#344
what a dreamy box of ribbon! Looks better than cake!
Barbara
Entry #345
I love Ribbon!
Thanks so much for such a great blog!
Entry #346
Well I think my next card must have that green galore polka dot organdy in your picture! Seriously though – some level of embellishment but I do try to switch it up all the time. Right now I am making Christmas cards so bling it is – gotta have a little sparkle for Christmas!
Entry #347
For me it is ribbon of course, well then I have been using glitter lots lately. Do I have to pick just one?
: )
Sarah
Entry #348
I must have dimensionals (that’s a given, right?!) and I almost always have some kind of brad. I love ribbon, but don’t have a lot that match SU cardstock. I need to buy more!
Entry #349
The obvious paper, stamps and ink are the only *must haves* for me. Well, that and a little texture. For texture, I love adding ribbon and hardware of any sort or primas and bling. So, as long as I have the basics and something that will give the post office trouble I am a happy stamper!
Entry #350
Beate Congratulations! What awesome blog candy! On my cards I think ribbon is a must have. I don’t use it on every single one, but normally I do =).
Entry #351
You are well on your way to a Million hits, kwim?
I’d have to say, multi-layers, then if it’s for a female, then definately RIBBON!
Entry #352
Oh my gosh… look at all that ribbon! How great is that? Ribbon is my favorite thing about card making…. call it an obsession! Also, great work on your blog. I look forward to it. Keep up the GREAT work!
Cindy J
Entry #353
Oh how I would LOVE to roll around in that ribbon!! Pick me, please! So, to answer your question–lately, I find that I LOVE to use anything with bling–the new SU! brads with sparkly gems in the center, self-adhesive rhinestones, pearls–they just add something special to a card. Thanks for sharing your talents with us, Beate–you ROCK!
Entry #354
You have a great blog – I’m not surprised it’s at 550K! My favorite thing to use on a card is also ribbon especially when used to attach a tag or label shape.
Entry #355
Not only is the hit number amazing, but look at all these comments!! You are truly an inspiration. I am still learning what my must have is. I tend to have a lot of sponging on them. I really like the effects of it.
Entry #356
Wow! Congrats on 550,000 hits on your blog! Not surprising though, it’s awesome!
Um, I’d have to say something I can’t live without on a card is RIBBON!!! It just doesn’t seem finished without it to me! 😀
Entry #357
Congrats on the 550,000 hits. Of course it goes to show what a great inspiration you are to all of us. My must have for all my cards tends to be the punches. A close second is ribbon or cord. Thanks for the great give away. We can all use more ribbon. Mary
Entry #358
I’d have to say ribbon, like most of the others! I just love it!

Congrats on the hits — great blog!
I’m still experimenting and haven’t found a must-have. I love the distressed look, the DTP, the brads, the ribbon, the embossing…

Fun blog candy! I don’t mean to, but I use lots of paper piercing and USE my punches all the time!
Entry #364
Wow! Congrats! I LOVE your blog! You always have such great, inspiring cards. A must on a card? I almost always use ribbon and I like brads or buttons too.

Entry #366
I guess like most of us, I love ribbon, especially a few different ribbons together that coordinate! But I also love hardware of any kind and the best of all is hardware with ribbons attached 🙂 Congrats on all the hits and being #7 – something tells me that it will be #1 before you know it!
Blessings, Beth
Entry #367
I check your blog everyday for inspiration. Thanks for your time and talent and sharing it with us.
Entry #368
Ribbon is always good, but lately it has been designer paper. I am in love with it. It beats the heck out of a background stamp for me. LOL!
It’s a good life!
Terri E.Entry #369
The 2 items I use on every card are some kind of corner punch & ribbon! Wow!!! 500,00 is sure a lot!

LOVE your blog! I always have to say that! 😉 You’re cards are amazing! You are a cardmakin’ superstar! Let’s see…for me, right now…hmm…. I’m loving my crop-a-dile and I’m using it lots to either dry emboss, or use an eyelet or two, or three. It’s the greatest tool ever! I love ribbon, too and I share your chocolate chip obsession as well. All of my cards include cc… Huge hugs!
Entry #373
I love looking at your blog for inspiration. You are a truly talented lady. For me the number one thing on every card is Ribbon which lately has been closely followed by the new jumbo eyelets.
Keep up the amazing work, you are inspiring.
Entry #374
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!! 369 COMMENTS!!! WOW!! I think that’s a record or something!! Whew…Anyway..I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how much I really appreciate your blog! I use it as inspiration all the time. It makes me want to be a better stamper/demonstrator. You are so talented. I aspire to create such beautiful cards as you. Thank you so much for sharing all of your wonderful artwork with us! OK, as for my must have item…it’s always been RIBBON!!! I don’t think a card is complete without ribbon. I buy it from everywhere. Doesn’t matter what store I’m in, I’m looking for ribbon!! These days another must have is transparency sheets. I am so hooked on transparency sheets. I took 1 class and that was it! I want to make everything with transparencies!! One more thing…I hope your son is doing well and that when he gets his tonsils and adnoids out he recovers quickly and get’s to eat a lot of ice cream and jello!!
Thanks again for your awesome blog! SUPER BIG HUGS TO YOU!

Well looks like we all think alike!! Ribbon is a must for me also. I like the ticket punch to all a little zing. I just got the All in a Row because of Beate’s great work with that, so add that to my list. Don’t we all want to be like Beate. thanks for the great blog.
Entry #377
Wow! An amazing number of hits – but for good reason, it’s an amazing blog. So much to learn and so little time! Thanks for your efforts, Beate!

Entry #387
My must have on a card is ribbon. I’m not picky on the ribbon either, just ribbon!

I would have to agree that ribbon is a must have on all my cards. I think they look naked without it!!! I love love love ribbon!!! Congrats on the 550,000 mark!!
Entry #393
Ribbon, swirls, flowers and butterflies. The finished card MUST be elegant.
Entry #394
What a yummy selection of ribbon! I can’t think of one item alone that is a “must have” since I like to use different elements on my cards depending on the gender and age of the recipient. Usually I add brads, eyelets or ribbon.
Entry #395
Amazing!
I’d have to say ribbon is my #1 favorite! #2 brads, but they are very close!
Entry #396
I love ribbon, but tend to keep it for scrapbooking (unless the recipient is reeeaally special!. Otherwise, brads, glitter and some sort of dimension (maybe a rolled or torn edge) are things I seem to go back to.
Congrats on the achievement! Wow, that’s a lot of people looking at your blog- shows you how wonderful your cards are!
Entry #397
My cards just have to be layered. I like to cut out and raise things up. Ribbon is always good. I love glitter. I also like to color with chalk pencils and use watercolor pencils.
Lucy G.
Entry #398
I have to have layers and dimension on my cards. It’s very hard for me to make a single layer card. Very hard!! Love your blog Beate. This is my first visit.
Entry #399
CONGRATS! on 550K hits. That’s amazing!
Fist off, a must for me is several layers and ribbon. Can’t seem to do anything without both. Lately though, my favorite is the ticket corner punch. I use it on all layers, I LOVE it.
Entry #400
It seems that I can’t stop putting brads on my cards, which is dangerous, being that SU! released crystal brads in July. I love, love, love them! Congrats on all of the hits!
Entry #401
Oh boy…it varies…ribbon, brads, eyelets, glitter. Just depends on my mood!! Love the blog candy!!
Entry #402

I also wanted to thank you for sharing scrapbook page layouts. You are so talented and I really am inspired by your talent.
Entry #403
Wow, that’s a lot of hits Beate; and that ribbon is just yummy looking. A new must have for me is now some sort of sponging on top of everything else thanks to the DTGD challenges.
Entry #404
My favorites are ribbon and Dazzling Diamonds. I also like layers, photo corners, and brads, Too many choices! Love your blog.
Entry #405
Congrats Beate.

Thanks for sharing.

Entry #406
Layers and more layers with brads! I never used to use embellishments and now I can’t get enough of them! I really like the new Rhinestomne brads. Didn’t think I would then I tried them. LOVE THEM!
Entry #407
I absolutely positively must sponge my edges!!!
Entry #408
Congratulations on so many hits…..it just proves it is a great blog! On my cards I am finding I need to have stamping now….I am still new at it, but for now I need some sort of stamping.
Entry #409
I too use a lot of ribbon, but any absolute essential is a special sentiment that captures the essence of the reason I’m sending the card.
Entry #410
I manage to work ribbon into just about every card, but I think a must have on cards is layering/matting. Love your blog and all the tutorials!
Entry #411
Ironically enough, I almost always use ribbon on my cards, so it would be great to win this! Thanks for all your great tutorials and challenges. You rock!
Entry #412
A must have for me is glitter. I just love using it on everything. People that receive my things love how they sparkle!
Lisa
Entry #413
I SO WILL roll around in that ribbon!!! I think my must have is probably glitter. I really have to restrain myself hard not to use it. Duct tape is sometimes
involved! =)
Entry #414
Must have ribbon!! I love ribbon on cards – a knot here, a band there…
Entry #415
Love your work and your blog! I tend to use ribbon on each card, there is something about it that just helps make the card pop.
Claudia

Entry #422
Beate –
Congrats on your milestone – 550K is a HUGE number!!! All of my cards seem to include punches. My current favs are the 2 oval sizes from SU; although I do love all punches – circles, squares, rectangles, etc! They just coordinate with every design!!!
Donna
Entry #423
Your site is so inspiring! No surprise to me you have so many hits. I absolutely cannot make a card without ribbon. I try and try but always end up with ribbon somewhere. I am also using tons of brads lately! Not sure why! Congrats Beate!
Entry #424
I love brads. Seems like almost every card gets a few.
Entry #425
Ribbon…ribbon….ribbon and now it is becomming most important to have dimensionals on EVERY card!!
thanks for the chance at all that yummmmmy ribbon!
barb
Entry #426
I would have to say ribbon and brads. I have only been in card making since Jan 07 and didn’t use ribbon at first. I just I was timid to try it. Now I just love useing ribbon. I am still trying to build up my supplies so that would be a treasure to win. Thanks for the opportunity.
Entry #427
Chocolate Chip whenever I can add it in! When it comes to coloring in I love to use my Aqua painter filled with Future too. So awesome to surpass 1/2 million!

Hi Beate!
Congratulations on yet another HUGE milestone!!!

Entry #429

Entry #433
Kinda like roll me in chocolate and dip me in nuts? THAT kind of rolling around? LOL I’m really into ribbon, jewels and brads right now. Congrats on the hits; you always share such wonderful creations with us!
Entry #434
I cannot live without brads…I am addicted to them! (and lots of ink to swipe on the edges of the cards!!!!!)
In a word, RIBBON!
WOW!! What an accomlpishment. With a blog as great as yours, no wonder you have so many hits! I think my must-haves for most cards are either ribbon or brads, or both! You can’t go wrong with either!
Jennifer S
My cards are very simple and I must learn to use more embellishments. Most of my cards have ribbon on them – I need to learn to be more comfortable about adding more. 😀
I am new to card making so my cards are simple but I love the look of paper piercing and ribbon. Congratulations on your accomplishment, your blog rocks and nice blog candy.
Congratulations on so many hits. I enjoy visiting your blog. As far as a must have on my cards – definitely ribbon and I do like a little sparkle.
You are such a popular little gal! Definitely the one that all of us aspire to be some day. I love ribbon and designer paper.
I’m tellin’ you – 1 million is not so far away!
I like to do paper piercing on my cards, but I’m also using my new Cutter Kit a lot to distress the edges.
And thanks for your kind comment on my SC139 card – ooh, I got a comment from THE Beate!
Aloha, I just love your blog and your work is always amazing. I just got started with card making and you are such an inspiration. The must have for me right now, ribbons and brads it seems. I have been using a lot of flowers too lately 🙂 Thanks for sharing your work!
Ribbon!!! Of Course!!! Thanks for all of the great ideas! You have a great site!
Primas or ribbon for me! 🙂
I love your work. It is a great inspiration. I love Ribbon:-)
Hi, I am in Denmark, Europe. I am just starting actual paper scrapbooking. I at this time have one set of ribbon. There is no selection here to really brag about and it is very expensive. I REALLY NEED THIS RIBBON! I am going to make your mini book I saw on Splitcoaststampers. You are very talented, well you know that. Yes I really need this ribbon!
I LOVE everything you do – whether it’s featured on SCS or Stampin’ Success. I’m finally checking out blogs and all I can say is WOW…what took me so long to get to yours? 🙂 Thanks for sharing all your hard “work”!!
Love your work and your ribbon! 🙂 I love layers, lots of them. I’ve not been making cards very long and have just discovered that layers and detail add so much to a card. Brads run a close second and, of course, ribbon!
Great site. Thank you for sharing your time and talents.
Mary
I have to have ribbon on my cards so this blog candy would be perfect. I also like to doodle on my cards.
Debbie
SCS-dleonard
My musts…hmmm…
a brown- either close to cocoa or chocolate chip…dimensionals…and lately I can’t put away my Sanded bg! 🙂
I love ribbon but on my cards I use alot of punches or all sorts, congratulations on the great number of hits. Always enjoy your cards as well.
I always have to have some distressing on my edges. I am new to your blog and absolutely love it. Thanks for all your inspiration.
A must have for me is ribbon and even with all the options available now – a stamped image 🙂 .
I am hopelessly addicted to ribbon…. I can’t go anywhere without looking to see what is interesting…. I just found some 1/4″ chocolate brown velvet ribbon that I could not leave in the store.
Congratulations on your 550K hits! A must have is Dazzling Diamonds and I love ribbons.
“CONGRATULATIONS”..Beate on your 555,000+ HITS…WOW !!!
Your RIBBONS are gorgeous ! Yes..Ribbons are a Must Have.
They are the Finishing Touch [like putting on earrings]..use
brads,eyelets etc…but that finishing touch is RIBBON.
Thanks for the chance to WIN your Beautiful RIBBON !!
