Ribbon Spool Holder

 

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Friday to you all! Today I'm sharing a super fun project to hold ribbon, it's a Ribbon Spool holder, I keep these in a jar and I've been slowing working on them. I figured it would be fun to decorate one and share with you all.

Of course I cut the spool out using some darling valentines design papers from Echo park, and then decorated the top corner with the Beautiful Delicate stitched satin ribbons in red and pink. I also added some of RRR flowers too, and a couple of embellishments. the ribbon on this is an older RRR that I had that I wanted to display in one of my large jars. Super fun!

Supplies used:

• Delicate stitched Ribbon
• Heart Embellishment
• Trellis rose
• Rose BudSweetheart Blossoms
• open roses
• pearls paper, and dies are all from stash.

Thank you so very much for looking and have a lovely day! Hugs, Cheryl 

Sending Love on Valentine's Day Card for a Friend

Today I am sharing a pretty Valentine's Day card for a friend, or should I say 'Galentine's Day card??  I actually didn't know what Galentine's Day was until recently, buy hey, why not celebrate friendship on Valentine's Day?!

I embellished the card with some pretty ribbons and flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

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 dark pink cardstock across the middle of the card topped with Random Mixed Pink Stars on White 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 Clean and Simple Valentine Sentiments Digi Stamp Bundle. The interior Sentiment is from the Valentine Sentiments for Friends 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.

Con~Quackulations! Note Card

 Hello Really Reasonable Ribbon Lovers...and Happy Friday to Y'all!

Misty (@Mommyofkidz) here today sharing a super quick little notecard with you.

Have you ever taken a cruise on a Carnival cruise ship? If you have, then you may be familiar with the "Carnival Cruisin' Ducks"game.  Everywhere you go on the ship, you may find a duck that has been hidden by another cruiser.  Basically, it is a real live Duck Hunt...but with toys.  My notecard today is inspired by my most recent cruise...which I just got home from a few hours ago!!!  

Usually I have found larger toys, maybe 2 inches in size.  They are easy to spot and easy to re-hide. 

This tiny little ducky, however, was NOT at all easy to spot! As a matter of fact, I completely missed him and my friend picked him up and gave him to me.  He was the cutest little thing, so I kept him rather than re-hide. 

Normally the ducks have little tags attached with information letting you know who had hidden it, but this one was so tiny and there was not a tag at all.  Of course, the crafty side of me began thinking on how to hide these tiny little duckies, but still have a tag. 

Most of the ducks have tags similar to this one...

                                        This one was too tiny...but then it hit me... A tiny notecard!! 

When I got home, I puled out my crafty supplies and I set to work! 

A simple 3x3 notecard was going to be perfect...but I wanted it to be cute, too. 

Some Gingham Ribbons would be perfect! For this, I decided to use 

3/16" Plaid Ribbon Assortment  (yellow)

5/8 Plaid Ribbon Aqua

but you could also order the two assortment packs and have lots of the gorgeous plaids to work with and make tons of these tiny notecards! 

5/8" Plaid Ribbon Assortment

Once everything was glued in place, I added the tiny resin heart mixed in with my resin beads that I used for the bubbles. 

11mm White Heart Shape Flatback Imitation Pearl Beads

Of course, for the purpose of hiding on the cruise ship, 

All of my information that I wanted to share is on the inside of the card.

Now, this tiny ducky his can be tucked pretty much anywhere on the ship, and the finder can let me know!!!

As you can see, I went WAY overboard (no pun intended!) on this.

Not many people would spend this kind of time making a tag for a duck to hide on a ship. 

However, this is also perfect for a baby shower note card, a baby's first birthday, or anything else..

I was thinking of doing one with the tag...

I Ducking LOVE you! (Ha Ha!)

I Quack Myelf up!!

Perfect for an off beat Valentine's Day Card! 

Just change out the sentiment on the tag and DONE! 

I honestly had a lot of fun making this little note card!

I hope that I have inspired you to get crafty this weekend...If you do, I would love to see what you create! 

Tag me on IG @Mommyofkidz! 

And if I am honest, I think I will make a few more of these for the young ladies that I know that have babies on the way while I am making some for my next cruise! 

Head on over to Really Reasonable Ribbon and grab the Perfect ribbons for your next project! 

Thank you for stopping by, have a WONDERFULLY CRAFTY Weekend! 

Love You

Hi friends, it's Karen posting today.  I'm so glad you're here and I hope this inspires you.  I'm sharing a cute little cross-stitch card that I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using some of their fabulous products.  I absolutely love all the wonderful trims and twines they carry - among so many other amazing things.  This card was fun to make, and I'm always super grateful to know that Really Reasonable Ribbon will always have the Adhesives, Embellishments and trims to help me create wonderful things.

I used cream cardstock and some sweet Crate Paper patterned papers from my stash.  I machine stitched them together.  The tag I used to do my cross-stitching is actually a piece of packaging from a super old October Afternoon ephemera.  It's sort of a cardboard piece.  I cut that with a cross-stitch tag die, and I used a free cross-stitch pattern that I found on Pinterest.  Once that was done, I attached a length of Striped Grey Grosgrain Ribbon and a length of Medium Pink Plaid Gingham Ribbon into the loop of my card.

I added a piece of Oyster Grey Baker's Twine, Solid Light Pink and Solid Hot Pink Baker's Twine to the top of my tag.  On the back of the tag, I secured everything with Scor-Tape to hold it securely in place.  I absolutely LOVE this fabulous Adhesive.  On top of the ribbons, I added two pretty Mulberry Leaves and a Pink Trellis Rose.  A few sequins were the finishing touch.

Thanks again for visiting today.  Be sure to check out the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog for lots of great inspiration and ideas for using RIBBONS and other products carried at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Also, don't forget to join us on the 13th of every month for our FUN Blog Hops where you can WIN prizes.  We always enjoy having you stop by, and we all wish you a wonderfully creative week.

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.

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.
