Choose Hope Greeting Card

Today I am sharing a greeting card with a sentiment meant for someone going through a tough time or a chronic or terminal illness. I embellished the card with some pretty ribbons and flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  

These new sentiment bundles from Bonnie Garby Designs are meant to convey positivity without being over the top about it.  Sometimes too much positivity is overwhelming and just a bit too much.  This collection is meant to be a sort of middle ground.

I created a 4-3/4″ x 6-1/2″ card with loads of layers. My digital sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point.  I ran a piece of white Satin with Grosgrain Edge Ribbon topped with  Mixed Purple Bold Diagonal Stripe Grosgrain Ribbon across the center of the card.  I topped it off with a pretty bi-color double loop bow and below the sentiment I have added some pretty 15 and 20mm white Open Roses.

The sentiment on the front of my card is from my Uplifting Quotes for Difficult Times Digi Stamp Bundle. The interior Sentiment is from the Uplifting Quotes for Difficult Times for the Inside Digital Stamp Bundle. The background was created with the Hearts in Line Overlay SVG Bundle. All my designs can be found on my Bonnie Garby Designs Etsy shop.

Our sister company 'Bonnie Garby Designs' is offering a large variety of digital sentiment stamps and svg files.  Below are the digital stamp bundles I used on my card today.

My card is topped off with a pretty bi-color double loop bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool using delphinium and regal purple Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon Ribbon.

Tell It to The Bees Card

Hey Y'all!HAPPY NEW YEAR al my Really Reasonable Ribbon Loving Friends!!!!!! Can you believe that we are already SIX days into 2025!?? I sure can't! Misty (@Mommyofkidz) here today sharing a quick and easy little note card with you all. 

WHY Quick and Easy you ask??  Well...I will tell you. It has already been such a jam packed year for me that I am ready for a vacation! HA! I haven't even had time to get my nails done ro my actual upcoming retreat (bereaved mother's), much less make an in depth project...which I actually have a few planned if I could only find the time! 

Anyway, I decided to use a few scraps from a Craft Consortium Collection and piece together this cute little card. It can actually be used for any occasion, as I chose not to even put a sentiment on it yet. How genius is that!!??  LOL 

For this card, I used a few of my favorites from the RRR Store...

Metallic Gold String

Wild Orchid 10mm Mixed Color Open Roses

White Chelsea Rose

After piecing the scraps together, I did a bit of fussy cutting on the florals that are lining the center of the card.  I used a white gel pen to add in a bit of texture arena the flowers, then tossed in a few enamel dots for extra eye candy.

On the inside, 

I also added a bit of scraps along with the 

11mm White Heart Shape Flatback Imitation Pearl Beads

I actually quite thrilled with how this turned out!! I hope that you are inspired by it as well!

If so, head on over to Really Reasonable Ribbon and grab a few things to make some quick and easy Notecards of your own! 

 

Let It Snow

Hello everyone, and thanks for stopping by today.  It's your ribbon-loving friend, Karen Letchworth sharing today with a fun little card I created using a few fabulous products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  It's always fun creating sweet cards and art projects.  Really Reasonable Ribbon will be certain to have ALL the special things you need to help you do just this.  From Adhesives, Ribbons, Embellishments, Mulberry Flowers and so much more; they really have it all.  These things will help you create and give you the extras that your cards need to give them lots of extra dimension and pizzazz.

I used a black cardstock base layered with JilliBean Soup orange polka dot patterned paper and then a layer of white cardstock.  The sentiment is printed on white cardstock using a darling sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs and is found in the Winter Sentiments Digital Stamp Bundle.  All my papers, ribbons and embellishments are held securely in place using pieces of Scor-Tape.

The die-cut bow, penguin and honeycomb ball are from The Greetery.  Down the center of the card, I ran a piece of Plaid Black and White Bold Check Ribbon.  At the top of the die-cut bow, I added a length of knotted Grey Baker's Twine and topped the bow with a 12mm White Flatback Pearl from the Embellishment Section.

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today.  I hope that you'll stop by Really Reasonable Ribbon to take a look around at all their wonderful products.  You can also find lots of great inspiration on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.  Have a wonderful week, everyone.

Blessings,

Karen

Hot Cocoa Sleigh with RRR

 

Hello crafty friends and Happy Monday to you all! Today's post is a Hot Cocoa Sleigh I put together for a gift and for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the gorgeous ribbons that Bonnie carries in the shop.

For the sleigh I bought it at Hobby Lobby and then used the cricut to cut out some vinyl for the Merry Christmas. Next I used the Plaid Ribbon Christmas in the 5/8" and 3/8" for the bows on the sleigh and the hot cocoa jar. for the chocolate spoons I used the grosgrain Swiss dot ribbon in 3/8" . I hot glued the ribbons, poinsettias and holly leaves on the sleigh. I did tie on a gingerbread boy spoon for the hot cocoa. and there are two gnome ornaments inside the sleigh. Super fun to make . Lastly I used a sweetheart blossom on the holly leaves and its hot glued on as well

Hope you enjoyed my post today and thank you so much for stopping by! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all

Hugs, Cheryl 

Quick and Easy Holiday Photo Ornaments

 Hi there friends.  Today I am sharing a quick and easy photo ornament made with ribbons and mulberry flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon that was shared with me from our very creative design team alum Nancy Hill.  You can find Nancy over on her personal blog HERE.

You will need a 4" wooden hoop, some ribbon, double-sided tape, hot glue gun or adhesive of your choice and some mulberry flowers and/or other embellishments of your choice.  

Adhere 1/4" Scor-Tape around the outside of the hoop.  Then wrap your ribbon around the hoop, overlapping just a bit as you go for complete coverage.  Once the hoop is completely covered with ribbon, create your bow and gather the embellishments you have selected.  

Adhere your embellishments to the ribbon covered hoop with hot glue or the adhesive of your choice and then crop your photo and attach to the back and you have a beautiful ornament to gift to someone you love.

I'm not even going to link individual ribbons and flowers because you can use any ribbon you happen to have in just about any width and whatever flowers are your favorites.  This is such a versatile craft and you can complete it in minutes and is perfect for using up those ribbon scraps you can't bear to throw out.   

Wishing you all a very safe, healthy and happy holiday season.
