Using Less Ribbon

You can save a little ribbon by not using it where it will not be seen.  

When using ribbon for layouts and cards, attach the ribbon to the back edges instead of wrapping it completely around the item. 

 

           

 

The small amount you save per card adds up when making multiple cards.
