This is actually achievable in Illustrator. You need 3 Objects for this:


Top: Copy of your original ribbon
Middle: Rectangle where you cropped out the original ribbon shape
Bottom: Your original ribbon


Now if you apply a drop shadow to the rectangle, you get what looks like an inner shadow to the original shape (because the ribbon is cropped out, the side of the shadow gets reversed). All you have to do now is select the copy of your ribbon and the rectangle and create a clipping mask to get rid of the extra shadow around the rectangle.
