Christmas is Coming

It's hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner.  I'm SO unprepared this year.  Last year, I had all my shopping done very early and had a real grasp on it all.  Not so much this year.  I'm behind on everything, and at this point, I kinda don't care.  I just want to enjoy family and not worry about all the shopping, baking and decorating.  Yes, I'm being lazy.  LOL   However, I'm not behind on my crafting.  That's one thing I always have time to do.  And all the wonderful products from Really Reasonable Ribbon help me to get the job done every time.

I used basic white cardstock to stamp everything.  I used stamps from The Greetery including the Ornament Box Top Vertical Rubber Stamp for the frame.  I don't actually own this stamp, so I borrowed it from my BFF, Patti Lyn.  We've been friends for over 55 years now.  She mailed it to me to borrow, and I don't want to return it....LOL.  It's SO cute.  I used the adorable Curio: Attic Ornaments Die and the Pine Dies for the foliage.  The middle ornament is raised up using 3-D Foam Tabs from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Each ornament was tied with a different trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I used a length of Solid Apple Green Baker's Twine, Cotton Candy Baker's Twine and Iridescent String to tie the tops of the ornaments.  I know I say this a lot, but Baker's Twine is AWESOME.  It's just ten cents ($0.10) per yard and it comes it so many great colors - both striped and solid.  I used lots of Scor-Tape to hold everything securely in place.  Scor-Tape is an awesome Adhesive, and it comes in a wide variety of widths to work with every project you can imagine.  Really Reasonable Ribbon carries so may fabulous products.

Be sure to stop by the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog often so that you'll always stay up-to-date on all the special sales and promotions as well as to get loads of amazing inspiration on helpful ways to use Ribbons, Trims, Twines, Laces and more.  You'll always find awesome products at fair prices when you shop at Really Reasonable Ribbon, and you'll LOVE what you purchase because the products are amazing.  Thanks for visiting.

Blessings,

Christmas Card for Someone Terminally Ill or Someone Who Just Suffered a Loss

Hello friends.  Today I am sharing a holiday card meant for someone who is grieving or suffering from a long or terminal illness.  I used ribbon and mulberry flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon along with digital stamps and svg cut files from Bonnie Garby Designs.

Sometimes happy, merry and joy are not appropriate when a friend is going through a difficult time, but you still want to reach out during the holidays.  Sometimes it's hard to find the right words, so I created a few digital stamp bundles that will help create the perfect card.  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 scarlet Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon topped with White Satin with Metallic Edges 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 Red Open Roses.

The sentiment on the front of my card is from my Christmas Greetings for Difficult Times Digital Stamp Bundle. The interior Sentiment is from the Holiday Sentiments for the Inside for Struggling with Loss or Terminal Illness.  The background was created with the Geometric Overlay 2 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.

Joy * Joy * Joy * Card

Hello There and Happy Monday to Y'all!

Misty here today sharing a simple holiday card that I made using a few bits from the

 Really Reasonable Ribbon site.

I wanted to create a card that could cover ALL THE THINGS...

Christmas, New Year's, and everything in between. 

This is what I came up with...and I LOVE it! 

I always tell my kids, that if it doesn't bring JOY to your life, then it isn't for you.

 I am all bout finding the things that give you joy...

and I am hoping that the lucky recipient of this card will be 

blessed with TRIPLE JOY!   

JOY * JOY * JOY

My favorite part of the card was the vellum snowflakes that popped off of the cover.

I have used 12 mm flat backed pearls for the centers of the snow flakes and Sheer organza with Satin to tie it all together during transit in the mail. 

I LOVED how the blues and whites mixed with the woodgrain look of the background paper.  It makes me smile and think of a beautiful Snow Flurry... and that does bring my heart Joy.

What brings your heart Joy?

It it crafting with your friends?  Giving crafty gifts? 

Head over to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store and pick up some ribbon and supplies to make your own JOY cards...Or whatever kind of cards you love!

Festive Sparkly Christmas Card

Hello friends.  Today I am sharing a pretty and sparkly Christmas card using ribbon and mulberry flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon along with digital stamps and svg cut files from Bonnie Garby Designs.

I created a 4-3/4″ x 6-1/2″ square card with loads of layers. My digital sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point.  I ran a piece of gold Glitz Ribbon topped with Cardinals and Ornaments on White Satin Ribbon across the center of the card.  I topped it off with a pretty double loop bow using gold Glitz Ribbon and below the sentiment I have added some pretty 15 and 20mm Red Open Roses.

The sentiment on the front of my card is from my Merry Christmas Sentiments SVG Bundle. I used it as a full color digital stamp by just printing out my selected sentiment. There is also a classic digital stamp set (shown below as well) if you want to print the sentiments in black. The interior Sentiment is from the Vintage Christmas Sentiments for the Inside Digi Stamp Bundle. The background was created with the Layered Netting Overlay SVG Bundle. All my designs can be found on my Bonnie Garby Designs Etsy shop.
