Hi Everyone.
Happy Tuesday and welcome to Technique Tuesday. This week I have a quick video for you. Many of you comment on my ribbon knots on my cards and have asked me to show you how I do them.
This video tutorial is complementary to the bow tying video that I did a few weeks ago. You can find that video at this link.
Tying a knot in a single piece of ribbon, is really easy, there are just a couple of key things to remember. Once you learn how to do this, I promise you, every ribbon will look great. It doesn't depend on wide ribbon, or narrow ribbon – all ribbon works well with this technique.
All you need to do is click on the screenshot below.
Next week's Technique Tuesday is on how to use stencils on your cards. I hope you will stop by next Tuesday to check out my new video.
On a personal note: running around trying to get everything finished at work before I switch off my PC for two weeks and don't answer my cellphone, get on conference calls, have to make presentations, nothing… oh yeah… it's time spent not doing these things that makes it worth while!
As always, prayers for those in need – and for those that need a little lift. For Rose… she had her procedure and we now have to wait 3 weeks to see what the outcome is. Good news to report on Rach's friend Robin and her little boy "dumpling". Dumpling is doing well, but still in hospital. Rach is home, although still trying to recover some of her mental function after the bleeding in her brain. For Arthur as he gets ready for his procedure on the 4th. For Germaine, T, Pri.
Have a fabulous Wednesday everyone.
Don't forget – smile at a stranger… it may change their life.
Hugs
Jaydee

You make it look so easy Jaydee! Great video and I thank you for all the tips. Now I need to have the video running and get my own ribbon and try it! Thanks so much!
Ah, thank you once again for taking the time to create, film, edit and upload this video tutorial for us. :o) First the bows, now the knots. You’re the best! :o)
Thank you, too, for the prayers for Robin and Dumpling. She has a long road ahead of her (much to her frustration) and all prayers are certainly appreciated.
HUGS!
I LOVE the video Jaydee! Thanks for all your helpful tips. I do my knots almost like you do yours, but I detected 2 small changes I can make to make them even better!

Thanks so much for creating these videos for us. I must be the only one who can’t figure out how to make them start. I’ve downloaded and installed the program but don’t see control buttons…
You are not alone Patty. I have to miss out on these videos also because I am using Vista but not for Windows 7 as it tells me is required.
Hi Carol and Patty
Thanks for letting me know that you are having problems. I am trying to avoid using YouTube for two reasons….1 I hate all the ads and things that come with it, and the organizational structure. 2. I spent hours trying to get videos up and had issues. when I get the chance in the next couple of weeks I will try and see if there is an alternate method.
Hugs
