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 TwineCotton 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,
Karen

  1. Your introductory sentences really resonated with me; like you, I am totally unprepared. But your card is gorgeous and perfect for the season. Best wishes for a happy holiday, and leave the stress behind. :-)
