Rainbows + Stars = A Magical Day!

Hello there! Linsey here today sharing one of my favorite recent cards made featuring fabulous ribbons from RRR! I love rainbow colors and I also love stars, so this card came together like magic!

I made this card using the ribbons from the Bright Colors Grosgrain with Silver Metallic Edges Assortment. Space ribbons and graduate each piece about a 1/2" further than the next. Add 3D foam stars with rainbow craft foils and glitter on top and adhere to ends of each ribbon. Add stamped sentiment, attach to card base and done! The silver metallic edges of the grosgrain ribbons coordinate perfectly with the silver glittery part of the stars and the rainbow colors go great with each other too! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with love and happiness! Until next time, happy crafting! 😊

Clean and Simple Birthday Card

Hello, Friends!  Happy New Year!  Do you have a card style that you really struggle with?  For me, it's the Clean and Simple (CAS) card that gives me the most trouble.  I recently needed to make a birthday card for our dear daughter who loves clean lines, modern design and no frills, thank you very much.  But can you use ribbon on a CAS card?  Yes.  Yes you can.

Our daughter loves to explore new places, so this retired Travel Girl paper from October Afternoon was "just the ticket" for her birthday gift card.  I did my level best to keep my layers and embellishments to a minimum.  I chose papers with fresh, modern colors and graphics.  Over all, I think the card looks pretty clean and simple. 

But it just didn't look finished to me without ribbon.  To keep the bow cluster in line with my CAS design, I chose to work with Topaz Delicate Stitched Satin and Metal Gray Mini Swiss Dot Satin Ribbons.  See how perfectly they match the polka dot paper layer? That made my heart happy!  Of course I used my Zutter Bow-it-All Tool to create the bow cluster.  How could I craft without it?

Inside the card I added a little note along with some gift cards for her to use on her travels.  This was a quick and easy card to make, and I might just try my hand at a few more of these simpler card designs.

Wishing you lots of time to create in 2018!
Cheerio,

Butterfly Greeting Card Set

Hey Peeps. Well I'm going CAS today. I know..it surprised me to. When I got my supplies out to create cards all the fun little images and die cuts just fell into place and I thought why not? Everything doesn't need to have flowers and chippies and embellies. Sometimes you just need a quick card that's good for any occasion that can be mailed in a regular sized envelope right?

I had a fun time mixing some vintagy patterns of paper with some that were just a bit edgy and on trend. Layers of die cuts, RRR trims, and simple pearly accents create loads of detail.

Diamond Satin Light Coral

Diamond Satin Ivory 

Plaid Ribbon Apple Green

Seam Binding Melon

Okay that's all for me. Wishing all of you a happy and productive day with lots of time to be creative : ) G

Ribbon Striped Valentine's Card

Hello friends! Linsey here today sharing a fun and super easy card that was made featuring ribbons from the January Ribbon Club Assortment-Sweetheart Mix! I happened to make it a Valentine's themed card, but just think of the endless ways you could use your ribbon to make different themed cards of all kinds this way! So simple and it's a great way to show off all those patterned ribbons that sometimes don't get the glory they deserve! Take a peek...

Isn't it fun? I think so! There's no particular "way" to do this--simply start to criss-cross various ribbons back and forth and wrap around card panel. Easy as 1-2-3! And keep in mind that I used the leftover ribbons from which I made my recent Valentine's Banner for the January blog hop, so there's a whole lotta ribbon in the Ribbon Club Assortment and they are truly a great deal!

That's all from me today! Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Crafting!

Be Happy

Welcome back, everyone!  It's Karen Letchworth today, and I'm sharing a sweet little card I made using some of favorite trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I started with a black cardstock base and added a piecce of vintage sheet music and a narrow strip of patterned paper, and I inked them all.

I ran a length of Debra Natural Crochet Lace up my card, and also ran several lengths of Cotton Candy Baker's Twine and Black Licorice Baker's Twine.  I tied a bow with both of them as well, and topped that with some of the gorgeous Mulberry Flowers carried at Really Reasonable Ribbon including two of the Wild Orchid Crafts Cherry Blossoms in Cream, a Deep Ivory Open Rose, and a sweet little 30 mm Green Paper Leave tucked underneath them.

Really Reasonable Ribbon really and truly does make it SO SUPER EASY and fun to create a beautiful card.  Just by taking some simple papers and adding these beautiful trims, flowers and twines.....VIOLA!  I encourage you to treat yourself to some new goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon to give you a head start on your next fabulous project!

We would also love to have you stop by and play along in our CURRENT CHALLENGE so that we can see what you're creating with all those fabulous new trims and flowers you purchase.  Have a great week, and thanks for visiting!

Christmas Star by Jenn Cochran

Hi Really Reasonable Ribbon friends and fans!  It's Jenn and I am so not ready for Christmas.  Are you???  I know it is coming fast and I need to get my mind set and ready to go.  

I wanted to give this fun star wreath a try.  It was super easy and only took about 15 minutes.  I paired the wreath with a beautiful delicate stitched satin ribbon.  I will run down the instructions below.

I used a 1" size star die.  I cut out 8 of each patterned paper to be on the safe side but only used 7 of each.  I cut out a 2.5" circle and cut out the middle to make a ring.  I added CANDi Fix Foam Pads (found at RRR) to the backs of each star.  I arranged them and then took the foam pad backings off one at a time and adhered it to the ring.  Voila, a star wreath!  Hope you will try it!  

I used Delicate Stitched Satin in Kiwi and tied a simple knot.  It was the perfect color of green to go with the swiss dot green patterned paper.

Do you make your own Christmas Cards or do you opt for the ever popular photo cards?  I personally do the photo cards.  This year I will do the same, just making them myself. 

Thanks for taking a peek.  Hope you try one of these simple wreaths on your next Christmas Card.

Super Happy Day by Jenn Cochran

Hi to all the Really Reasonable Ribbon friends and fans.  I cannot believe it is the last week of September.  I guess I better get busy on the Halloween costumes.

Today I have a super simple card using three different ribbons from RRR.

I die cut my butterfly, then I added two strips of micro gingham plaid.  It comes in several different colors. 

Next I added a double bow made with Shimmer Satin in Aqua and red Bakers Twine.  I tied a bow with the bakers twine first then without taking it off the Bow It All 2.0, I tied a single loop bow with the shimmer satin. I brought the center all the way around the center of the bakers twine.  This secured the two together.  

The final touch to this card was adding back the butterfly on top of the patterned paper backing.  I popped out the wings to give a 3D effect.  

Thanks for stopping in!  Hope you have a great week.

Hi friends.  I finally got the bi-color double-loop bow with single-faced or printed ribbon tutorial completed.  Now you can tie beautiful bows with all your favorite single-faced ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Bi-Color Double-Loop Bow Tutorial for the Bow-it-All V2.0 using Single-faced or Printed Ribbon

Watch video below | Watch at YouTube

I love the look of this bow combining two different colors and/or styles of ribbon.  The bow looks fantastic when you use two different styles of ribbon of the same color too.  Experiment to see what you like best. I created this bow with Hot Pink Diamond Satin Ribbon and Pearl Pink with Hot Pink Satin Swiss Dots Ribbon.  One has a beautiful printed dot pattern and the other has a subtle shiny embossed diamond pattern.  Mix them together and you get a GORGEOUS bow.  If you still don't have this fabulous tool, you can order a Bow-it-All V2.0 Tool today at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  You won't be sorry!

Clean and Simple Ribbon

Hey everyone, it's Dana.  I wanted to share a quick card using some beautiful sheer organza ribbon today.  Sometimes on a card you just need a really pretty piece of ribbon to make your card stand out and wow the recipient. So let's take a look at my card.  I didn't want to add a lot of fuss to my card.  It needed to be clean and simple.  So I just stamped a simple image and let my bow do all the work.

 

I fell in love with this gorgeous dark brown sheer organza ribbon with the satin center.  It is so easy to work with and it makes fantastic bows. Here's a better look at this beautiful ribbon.  It has just a touch of sparkle to it.  It's such a rich dark brown and add just the right touch for my card.

I was able to make this bow using the Bow-It-All V-2.  I'm telling you, this is a must have for every kind of crafter.  You will make some fabulous bows with this tool.  I'm bow challenged and this tool makes me shine.  LOL 

Thanks for hanging out with me today.  I hope you enjoyed your visit.  Make sure to pick up some of the fun ribbon right here at RRR store.  Bonnie has a ton of gorgeous ribbon for you to play with.  Have a great day everyone.

True Colors by Jenn Cochran

Happy Saturday!  It's Jenn from Jax Bean Stalks.  So glad you could join me today.  I don't know about all of you but I am getting crafty this weekend!  Today I have a fun and simple card using a technique called embossing stamping.  The ribbon on the card was so perfect and matches beautifully.  It is the Diamond Satin in Plum from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  LOVE this bold purple!

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

You and Me by Jenn Cochran

Hi everyone!  Welcome! It is Jenn, from Jax Bean Stalks here today with another Valentine.  

I have made this simple Valentine using Baker's Twine in Solid Deep Pink from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I strung it around the card three times to create a base for my multi-loop bow.  My image is embossed and then watercolored over with the new Spectrum Aqua markers from Spectrum Noir (coming soon to the US).  I love the way bakers twine adds a little something to a CAS card!  

Hope you like it!  See you all next time.

Love is in the air....

Hi everyone, it's Teresa here today getting started on my Valentine's projects so that I will be ready for one of my favorite holidays of the year.  Really Reasonable Ribbon has lots of beautiful ribbons for you this month and I am sharing two quick and easy cards that you can do.

My first card is using one of my favorite ribbons called Chevron Striped Twill in black.  It comes in lots of other gorgeous colors and looks great tied at the bottom of a quick stamped card that you do.  I used Doodlebug paper and a stamp set from Avery Elle and layered the rectangles with the Spellbinders Matting basics die set.  It only took about 10 mins and I love that... quick and easy :)

My second card was done using another of my favorite ribbons.  This one is called metallic edged satin and you can see all the colors that it comes in here.  I really love this because the satin is really soft and makes the prettiest bows, don't you think?  To create the top of the card, I layered a few Spellbinders dies and embossed them into the paper and then cut a few for the center to layer it up just a little more.  The rhinestone heart is from Want2Scrap and it goes perfect with the silver edging on the ribbon.

Thanks for stopping over and be sure and check back for lots of lovable ideas all this month from the rest of our team... Have a really great day!!

Warm Up With Some Pretty Ribbon

Hey hey hey everyone.  It's Dana here.  Happy New Year to all of you.  I'm so happy that the new year is in full swing!  It's going to be an exciting year here at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I can just feel it!

I'm keeping nice and toasty by the fireplace for the next couple of days.  And in the spirit of keeping warm, I think I'll have myself a cup of eggnog.  The spiked kind. ;-)  My card is representing the mood I'm in.  I am such a HUGE fan of the Snowflake on Hot Red Grosgrain ribbon and the Black Hemp String.  It's doing a pretty good job of  holding my adorable mug.

Don't you just love those little snowflakes on that gorgeous red ribbon? Such a sweet accent to any card or craft project.  Oh for the love of ribbon people! :-)  Okay, time for me to fill my mug back up.  Yup, I'm a little low on egg nog.  Have a fantastic day everyone!

Easy Vintage Christmas Cards & Tussie Mussie

Hello Friends!!  Heather here and today I would like to share a couple cards with you that I made using some ribbons and trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon!!

So last night I thought...I should try some flat cards...you know...easy ones to put in an envelope and actually mail....lol.  I thought I would try clean and simple again...this could be close..not really sure.

 I used a focal from my Traditional Christmas Collage sheet as well as the Merry Christmas sentiment on the Card above.  I used  Scor Tape to hold my pieces to the background paper.  I used glue to hold down the Rosemary Crochet Lace and Red Micro Gingham.  I just tied a simple knot to create the bow.

On the card below I used the same Scor Tape but this time I used the Red Plaid Ribbon to create my bow.  

I used my Noel Tag and Present Tag set.  Candy Cane and Christmas Tree from my Traditional Mitten Set.  The Little Victorian Christmas girl and Spring Green Tag Bases.

I also have a quick and easy Christmas Tussie Mussie that I would like to share.  I just cut it out, put a piece of Scor Tape on the flap and Curled it into shape.

I used the Pink Diagonal Ribbon and Natural 1/4 inch lace.

I used my  Bow it All tool to make the two triple loop bows on the sides.

Thank you for visiting us at
Really Reasonable Ribbon today!!
Hugs!!

Clean and Simple Embossed Card for the Holidays

Hi there crafty peeps!  It's me Amber.  I am back today to share with you a clean and simple embossed card I created with some beautiful ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I cut a piece of green cardstock slightly smaller than an A2 card (4 x 5 1/4).  I then stamped several pine branches to create two pine boughs coming from each side of the card.  I then stamped the dotted line vertically to create a string to hold two cute snowflakes.  Finally I stamped the sentiment.  All of the images and sentiment is from the Deck the Halls stamp set from Lawn Fawn.  I stamped all of this in Versamark ink and then heat embossed it all with Ranger Fine Detail gold embossing powder.  I matted this onto gold glitter cardstock.  I then created a bow with my Bow It All tool and gold ribbon from the Christmas Sheer w/ Satin Center Ribbon Assortment.  I wrapped it vertically around the edge of the cardstock and then matted it all to a white card base.  I finished it off with some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

I hope you like my clean and simple card.  This card could easily be mass produced for as many Christmas cards as you need to send out.  The color of the ribbon could be changed to make each card unique.  Really Reasonable Ribbon offers beautiful ribbons of all kinds and colors that are perfect for all your Christmas project needs.  I hope you have a great day and create something fun for the upcoming holidays!

Happy Fall

Hello RRR friends! With only a few days to go, I wanted to officially welcome in Fall! This card was super simple to pull together with this ready-made kraft card with fancy bottom edge along with some pretty trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I got a variety pack of these cards from Joann's last year and sometimes they work just right for the card I want to make. I stamped leaves from a Gina K stamp set in creamy caramel and close to cocoa SU inks then added some wonderful Natural Hemp Cord and Tabitha Natural Crochet Lace along the bottom.

Thanks so much for stopping by and allowing me to share my card! Have a great day!

Clean and Simple Inspiration Day...

Hi ya peeps, today is my inspiration day here at  Really Reasonable Ribbon and I've created a Clean and Simple card.

I love banners and banners made from ribbon are even better! I added a few wooden embellies for dimension and some crystals for sparkle. It's clean, simple and fun. I love how using different patterns can dress up any project. 

The ribbon I used....

Plaid Ribbon Celery Green

1/4 Chevron Striped Ribbon Celery Green

1/4 Chevron Striped Ribbon Pink

Happy Crafting!
