At the end of the hop, comment on this post answering the question below for a chance to win our October Ribbon Club assortment shown below.

Prize is offered to customers with US shipping addresses only.

Our question of the month is:

Have you started your holiday shopping yet?

I guess this year especially, we need to get moving because of the supply chain issues.  Hope you are having luck with yours.  I've decided there will be no holiday shopping this year.  I just want to spend time with my family and relax.  Of course I no longer have small children, so I suppose I might feel differently on the shopping thing if kids were involved.

Our winner will be selected from the numbered comments on this post on Monday, October 18th. Be sure to check back on Monday evening to see if you are our lucky winner.

Thanks so much for hopping with us today. We hope you'll stop by and so some shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon soon.

Copper and Cream Autumn Pumpkin

 Hello, Friends!  It's the most wonderful time of the year!  I'm talking pumpkin season, my friends!  Nothing makes me happier than a field of plump orange pumpkins!  Unless it's a slice of freshly baked pumpkin bread!  Yum! I've found that the Copper and Cream Plaid ribbon from RRR looks fabulous with any pumpkin themed project.  Pair it up with a little Natural Burlap String to amp up the rustic autumn vibe. 

The ribbon looks great inside a card, too.  Use it as a border on top of a pocket.  It makes a handy closure for a little secret recipe card pocket on the top of the card.

This is a fun way to present a few of your favorite "pumpkin everything" recipes, isn't it?  And if you're going to bake pumpkin bread, you really need to have a little tea to go with it.  So I created a cute tea and chocolate wallet then dressed it up with more ribbon.  Cute, right?  A packet of honey and a demitasse spoon complete the service.  

Suddenly I find myself craving a little pumpkin snack! What's your favorite pumpkin baked good?  I'd love to hear about it in the comments below.

Thanks for stopping by!

Beary Sweet Halloween Treat Bags

Hello everyone and Happy Friday to you all! Today's  Halloween Treat Bags were designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the beautiful Shimmer Satin Ribbon they carry, and then a Cuddly Cute SVG Bear dressed as a spider. Love how these turned out, and Hope you do too!

The bags were purchased at one of the warehouse sales here in Utah. I bought a ton of these bags so I could decorate them up to give. I started on this bag by using the spider ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and glued it to the bottom of each bag. Next I punched out the scalloped circles using a spider design paper ,and distressed it with orange, and then added black dots. The larger one was cut using black card stock and I added white dots. I used my New Cricut air machine to cut out 9 bears dressed like spiders, so cute! I airbrushed them and added eyelashes, and shadowing. They all have a little white flower on their heads. The Happy Halloween was cut using a die, and same with the bat. Next I chose to use the beautiful Orange Shimmer Satin ribbon. Love how these all turned out. I may have to make some others using different designs, and ribbons.

Supplies Used:

Really Reasonable Ribbon Shimmer Satin

Spider Grosgrain Ribbon

White Pearl Daisy Flower

Foam Tabs

Hot glue

SVG Bear

Punches

Dies , white gel pen, black pen, chalks, copics, air compressor , 

 Thank you so very much for stopping by! Hope you have a lovely day!

Using Patterned Paper Scraps

Hello, friends.  It's your friend, Karen here.  I don't know if all you ADORE ribbons and trims the way I do, but for me...they're a crafting MUST, and something I adore.  The trends right now are lovely, but they tend to be quite flat and lacking texture (in my humble opinion).  You see...for me, there's just something special about all those yummy layers and textures that I simply can't resist.  This card was created using some super old patterned papers and paper scraps from an old 6x6 paper pad.  But....all the LOVELY accents you'll see are from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

I used small cut strips of Scor-Tape to attach all those little scraps of patterned paper to my cardstock base.  I didn't want all those little paper scraps to start lifting at some point, and that's why I used the Scor-Tape to keep everything securely in place.  I added half of a coffee-stained doily, and I used an old PTI stamp set to stamp the sentiment (Warm Autumn Wishes) onto yet another scrap of patterned paper.  I ran a piece of Bay Leaf Seam Binding up the left of my card.  I used a smaller piece of the Bay Leaf Seam Binding to tie a bow, and incorporated a length of Solid Yellow Baker's Twine, Solid Gray Baker's Twine, some bundled Pink Burlap String, several Double Head Stamens, 

The next time you have a pile of patterned paper scraps sitting around, find a way to piece them together (SAVE them!) and create something fun like this.  The Scor-Tape works great at holding down all those little pieces securely.  You'll also see that I placed a pretty Pink Magnolia Flower in the center of my bow, and I tucked in two stick pins.  Really Reasonable Ribbon will always have the perfect accents for ALL your crafting projects.

No matter what sort of card, craft, or art project you're working on; there's always going to be a perfect trim, accent, or adhesive waiting for you at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  We hope you'll stop by and do some looking around in all the different categories.  You're sure to find a few things you'll absolutely LOVE.  Don't forget to join us on the 13th for the RRR Blog Hop.  Thanks again for stopping by today. Happy crafting, everyone!

Blessings,

Karen

Goth Inspired Envelope Flipbook

 Hey there friends and crafty peeps! We're celebrating our 13 Days of Halloween Tutorial Series on our YouTube channel over at Polly's Paper Studio and I 'm excited to share with you the project I created for day 11!

I'm really loving this dark and moody goth inspired Halloween project.  That Bold Check Ribbon in Black coordinates so perfectly.

This album base is created with envelopes and has A2 sized folded inserts.

Although this is not traditional holiday paper it's still pretty spooky. Perfect for Halloween. 

I'm paring the patterned papers with some fun stickers found at the Dollar Tree. The match so well!

This book has 4 inserts so there's plenty of room for all your pictures and memories of the festive holiday.

Please join me for a tutorial.....

Magical Midnight Tales Halloween Card

 Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Halloween is creeping up on us, isn't it?  Time to share some too cute to spook cards embellished with beautiful Really Reasonable Ribbon!

I love to create layered ribbon borders on my cards.  For this 6" x 6" top fold card, layer  the Halloween Cats and Black Delicate Stitched Satin ribbons from the September Ribbon Club at the top of the card.

 Use your Zutter-Bow-it-All Tool to tie a double loop Halloween Cat bow.  Then add just the right amount of shimmer with Silver Metallic String. 

Here's a peek at the finished interior.  Such fun colors and images are really too cute to spook!

Do you make Halloween cards?

Give Thanks Pumpkin Card

Hello crafty friends and Happy Monday to you all! Today I have a super sweet pumpkin card I designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon and My Makers Movement using this darling pumpkin card die, and Really Reasonable Ribbon.  

For my card today I chose to use this new pumpkin card die. I absolutely love working with this die, and it all came together really easy. First I cut out all my pieces in different color card stock, and distressed them.  For the sunflower, I did the glass technique that I have on my blog under Tutorials Here. Once I had my card put together, I added my beautiful Plaid Ribbon bow, then added the Tobacco Brown Seam Binding ruched up for the center of my sunflower, and hot glued it to the center, and a brown old button too. 

Really Reasonable Ribbon supplies:

• Plaid Ribbon Brown and cream tartan
• Tabaco Brown seam binding
• Tape runner refill
• scor tape 1/4"
• other supplies - pumpkin card die set(My Makers Movement)
• orange, yellow, tan , green , and white card stock
• glue pad
• hot glue
• embossing powder, old button, distressed inks

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day! 

Hugs to all, Cheryl

You Are a Blessing

Welcome by today, everyone.  It's Karen here sharing an Autumn card - even though it's still very hot here in the desert where I live.  I'm very much looking forward to the cooler weather when I can wear my warm sweaters, cute boots and scarves; and not have to worry about my hot flashes.  LOL  Even though it's still warm here, it really is Autumn, so that's what I'm sharing today.

As you would guess from the name, Really Reasonable Ribbon carries OODLES of gorgeous ribbons, laces, trims and twines of all sorts at great pries.  That's a given - and WOW, do they ever do a good job of it.  You'll find every style ribbon in every color, texture, width and design you can image.  However, did you know that RRR also carries awesome items such as Adhesives, Hair Accessories, Mulberry Flowers, Embellishments and more?  They have a bit of everything, and I do hope you will stop by the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store to see it all (and do some shopping).

As is normally the case when I start making a card, there's A LOT going on here.  This card started with a black cardstock base to which I added a piece of burnt orange corrugated cardboard and a piece of October Afternoon patterned paper.  I machine stitched together these three mediums to create my base.  I added some ephemera by way of a travel ticket, small Prima ticket, washi tapes, etc.  The sentiment is from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.  I ran a width of Burnt Rust Seam Binding across my card, and I used another piece of that along with a piece of Black Seam Binding to create my bow.  Well, we all know that I didn't stop there.  I also tucked in some bundled Light Blue Burlap String as well as several Miniature Double Head Stamens, two Sweetheart Blossoms, and a Rusty Paper Clip that holds a small tag.  On the small ticket, I also added a Rhinestone Embellishment.

Oh, my heart!  I almost forgot to mention......be sure to mark your calendar so that you don't miss this month's RRR Blog Hop.  As always, it starts on the 13th of the month; and one lucky person will WIN the December Ribbon Club Assortment.  AND....(shhh...it's a secret, but.....) it's a gorgeous Christmas themed assortment - SO pretty. Thanks for visiting us today, and we hope to see you again soon (and then again on the 13th for sure).  Have a ribbon-topped creative day, creative friends.

Blessings,

Karen

Spooky Slimline Halloween Greeting Card

 Hey there friends and crafty peeps. Ginny here with some spooktacular inspiration.

I am bewitched by this sweet little Halloween friend. Did you see what I did there? Bewitched?

This is the A Little Scary collection from Fancy Pants Designs. I picked up the ephemera pack along with the paper pad and had so much fun layering up all the festive images.

The slimline profile is great for adding an extra large arrangement of made by me flowers.

The wrinkle ribbon coordinates perfectly and helps to fill in and anchor this corner.

Apple Pickin' Time Home Décor Banner

 

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Oh, it's apple pickin' time, and I could not be happier if I tried! To celebrate, I made an apple themed home décor banner with Really Reasonable Ribbon trims.

Each pennant is machine stitched between layers of  Rust Silky Crush Ribbon and Crochet Lace Trim. 

TIP: Machine stitch along both the top and the bottom edge of the ribbon.  This extra step helps the banner to hang neatly.

Tie Sherry/Ivory Plaid ribbon in square knots between each banner pennant then top with a button.

Natural Burlap String mimics the feel of fall leaves.  Tie little bows with it and tuck it into your flower clusters to add extra texture.

Die cut leaves and velvet flowers add even more layers of texture and dimension to the design.

Do you go apple picking where you live?  We have to drive into the mountains to find apple orchards here.  But growing up in New England, the month of September was apple season.  We all trekked out to the local orchards and picked big bushel baskets filled with rosy red apples.  Mmmm...now I want an apple pie!

Thanks for stopping by!
