Day 8 of Ribbon and Crafty Secrets.....SWEET!

Hello, friends!  It's Karen Letchworth here today. This month at Really Reasonable Ribbon, we are partnering up with our friends over at Crafty Secrets to combine their sweet images with our delicious ribbons and trims.  The result is LOADS and LOADS of gorgeous creations from the Design Teams, and you can see it ALL right here on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog. 

I've created a few different cards for today's post.  This first one uses images from the Seasonal Images & Journal Notes (post card image) and the Crafty Secrets Love Mail Creative Scraps (floral images used to line the mini envelope).  The Really Reasonable Ribbon products used include the sweet Mulberry Flowers in Deep Vintage Ivory, Baby Pink and beautiful Baby Blue.  The RRR Trims used include their lovely 2 1/2 Inch Cottom Blend Vintage Floral Ribbon torn into thinner strips, and some bows made of Burlap String Natural Jute.

My next card is just as sweet, and it uses some of Crafty Secrets WONDERFUL digital images; including their adorable Bobbin Cards.  I absolutely LOVE the Creating With Sew Decorative CD7.  My heart be still!  This lovely CD holds over 180 images that fit the sewing, vintage, ephemera, antique loveliness category.  There are SO MANY GORGEOUS images in this lovely collection.  It was SO difficult to decide which images to use.  Where do I start.......or stop?  I'd have say that my VERY favorite image of all is this ADORABLE Vintage Sewing Receipt.  I printed it on antique linen ivory paper, and it truly looks like a page torn from an antique receipt book at a Vintage Dress Shop.  It's STUNNING!

Over the Vintage Sewing Receipt, I layered an image from one of the many 8x11 Button Card Sheets in this amazing collection.  This collection is SO sweet, and is filled with images, patterned papers, bit and bobbits of cuteness in the sewing genre.  If you love this theme, you will SQUEEL for this collection.  Crafty Secrets is waiting for you to visit!

OK......now, let's talk RIBBONS!  I'd like to tell you about all the GORGEOUS Really Reasonable Ribbons I used on this second card.  They are primarily ribbons from the April Ribbon Collection.  First, the gorgeous wider turquoise ribbon running up the right-hand side of my card is the lovely Delicate Stitched Satin Aqua with the Shell Print on Coral Rose Satin Ribbon on top of that.  Then, at the top right, the bow is made of those same two ribbons, and I attached tape measure washi tape to the Theresa Crocheted Lace to help my bow tie in with the theme.  I also added Natural Burlap String running up my card, in my bow, and wrapped around the tiny wooden spool.

For my third and final card of this post, I again used a sweet button card from the Crafty Secrets sweet Creating With Sew Decorative CD-7.  This CD has SO many sweet images on it, and I can't wait to enjoy them ALL.  I can't recommend it highly enough.  I adorned the card with some patterned papers, a doily, a rub-on sentiment, and a lovely bow made from Red Burlap String, Ivory Burlap String, Juliet Crochet Lace tied in a knot, and Red Chevron Striped Twill tied in a knot.  I just LOVE working with these sweet Crafty Secrets images and AMAZING Really Reasonable Ribbon ribbons, trims and laces.  What a great combination.

There's still time to play along in our current challenge, so be sure to join us today.  Happy shopping and happy crafting.  I hope you've enjoyed my projects.  Have a great day!

All Tied Up with Really Reasonable Ribbon and Crafty Secrets-Day 6

Hi to all the friends, fans, and followers of Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I am so excited to be hosting day 6 of the Cross Promotion with Crafty Secrets!  I am just IN LOVE with these fun digital stamps from Crafty Secrets!  I HOP...I mean hope you like them. 

This festive card is made using Wrinkled Ribbon, Tulle and Twine from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I have paired these beautiful ribbons with a vintage image from Crafty Secrets.  I love all the fun images you get with the Crafty Secrets: Bunny Hop Printable Download.  It is perfect for any spring themed card.  My Yellow Wrinkled Ribbon is tied using the Bow It All V2.0.  It is tied with five loops making it super puffy.  I added accents of Yellow Tulle (yellow is out but there are still a couple of really pretty colors left) and Oyster Baker's Twine to give the card a bit more character.

I made this Easter themed card using Crafty Secrets: Bunny hop Printable Download.  I embellished it with Really Reasonable Ribbon's Denim and Baker's Twine in Blue Solid.

Hope you have time to "HOP" on over to the Crafty Secrets Blog and check out what there team has to show off for today's cross promotion.  Thanks for visiting!

Day 5 of our RRR/ Crafty Secrets Event

Hi Everyone, it's Teresa here today and it's day 5 with our Really Reasonable Ribbon and Crafty Secrets Cross Promotional Event.  I hope that you all have had lots of fun checking out all the projects so far and have found some wonderful ideas with our DT and the Crafty Secrets girls too.

Today I have some fun projects to share that use digital images and wow are they ever amazing. They have so many images and such beautiful papers and all kinds of things available in their store to chose from.  We got to pick a few images to print and I made a few cards and a pretty bookmark with mine.  

First I am sharing one of the mini cards that I did.  The image I picked has lots of gorgeous pieces on it that you can use to make lots of things and I always need small cards to tuck in my gifts so these were quick and easy and perfect to make up and have on hand just in case. I also made the mason jar candle holder for a gift and used the Swiss dot satin ribbon in a pale pink with one of the big WOC wild roses on it.

This tall image made the perfect bookmark.  All I did was layer it with matching papers and some ribbon from RRR and it was done. The lace ribbon is from the Ribbon Club Assortment for this month and of course a little green gingham for a pop of color.

For all my projects I used the Digital Garden Printables from Crafty Secrets that has all the images that you see in my projects.  I love how all these each printed out so vibrant and the prints are so, so pretty.  I really love them. I used the lindsey white crochet lace to add a little softness across the bottom of the image and a bow and then I used seam binding ribbon in a soft shade of lavender to match with the colors in the image. The flowers I did in pink, purple and a pretty white chrysanthemums that is also from RRR.  

Here is a close up so that you can see all the colors and the ribbons, flowers, and lace that I used on it. The flowers are purple cosmos and they come in lots of other colors that you can see here.

Be sure and check out all the other projects up on the RRR Blog this week http://www.reasonableribbon.blogspot.com/ for more ideas and also the Crafty Secrets linky party too.

Thanks for stopping over and be sure and stop back tomorrow for more inspiration from out team for you all.

Really Reasonable Ribbon and Crafty Secrets: A Perfect Match!

Hello, Friends!

It's Kathy here with Day 4 of the fabulous Really Reasonable Ribbon/Crafty Secrets Cross-Promotional event! I'm working with the fabby April Ribbon Club Assortment.

I am so in love with these dreamy ribbons,and they inspired me to create a sweet little altered tray that will look wonderful as part of my springtime decor.

This Solo Tray measures 6" square, and I've lined it with beautiful vintage papers from the Crafty Secrets "Creating With Vintage Typography CD #3." Because these are digital papers, I was able to size them to fit my tray, which is super convenient.  I trimmed out the top half of the papers and put them in the largest opening.  The bird from the paper was fussy cut and mounted on foam tabs to add dimension.  Next, I covered the top edge of the tray with  1/4" Scor-Tape and added the beautiful Aqua Scalloped Rose Grosgrain Ribbon on top.  It is the perfect match to the corals and aquas in the paper!

Next, I went to work to create the little vignette by filling the bottom with Spanish Moss, an assortment of Prima and Petaloo flowers, a darling little bird nest, miniature pocket watch and a piece of star anise.  I trimmed out some little postage stamps from the Birds and Blossoms Digital Creative Scraps.  I used my Zutter Bow-it-All to tie a double layered bow from luxurious Light Coral Satin with a Grosgrain Edge.  It adds just the right amount of shine!

I added more images from the Creative Scraps to the openings on the top of the tray, then created a banner using Natural Jute String and beautiful Rose Diamond Papers from Crafty Secrets.  Itty bitty clothespins were the perfect finishing touch.

I have a tutorial that shows how to create the banner today on my BLOG. You'll also find a link there to the Crafty Secrets April Linky party.  There's a free downloadable image and digital paper and information about how you can join in the fun and perhaps win a $25 shopping spree at the Crafty Secrets online store!  I hope you'll hop on over and have a look around!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

Bundle of Joy

                        Let me start by wishing you a Happy Easter!  By the time this posts I will be getting ready to make Easter dinner.  I may be in the kitchen but I can be in two places at once...kinda!  It is my day here at RRR and this month we are product swapping with Crafty Secrets.  Lots of fun inspiration this month! So excited, make sure to keep checking in with the RRR and Crafty Secrets blog for all the gal's projects.
                          I chose to use these adorabbbbbbbbbbbble Baby girl printable images.   I used almost the whole page....could not stop playing with them.  I started with a chipboard scallop album and went to work adorning it.  Along with the sweet images I used several RRR ribbons including ribbons from this month's ribbon club.  I also used rose petal seam binding, scor-tape adhesive, and buttons from the store.  I added lots of sweet little doodads from my stash.  Doilies, chipboard pieces, pearls, etc.  Just had fun embellishing.  This is perfect for that new mom....great gift for Mother's Day!  Hope you enjoy!    Cherry

Birthday Blessings

Hi there crafty peeps!  Welcome to day two of the  Really Reasonable Ribbon/Crafty Secrets cross promotional event.  Bonnie kicked it all off yesterday, so if you missed her great post make sure to go check it out!

I made my card base with some lovely patterned papers from Webster's Pages that I pulled from my stash.  I matted them to pale pink cardstock.  I then matted a beautiful spring Mum image from the Digital Flowers Printable Sheet printed on white 65lb cardstock.  I also cut out and mounted a sentiment from the Little Blessings Creative Scraps.  Both the image and the sentiment were inked around the edges with Tattered Rose Distress Ink.  I created a band around the card and a triple loop/double layered bow with Lyndsay White Crochet Lace and Aqua Double Faced Satin Ribbon.  I added some sparkle to the main image with clear fine art glitter.  I added some flat backed pearls as a final accent to the card.

I hope you enjoy my inspiration today.  Head on over to both  Really Reasonable Ribbon and Crafty Secrets for loads of wonderful crafty products!

***********************************

There are so many fabulous goodies available at Crafty Secrets that I had a hard time making my selections.  Today I used the Digital Flowers Printable Sheet along with Grand Greetings Digital Stamp set.

I printed the digital image and sentiment on ivory cardstock and inked all the edges with gathered twigs Distress Ink.  I also added some natural mulberry paper which I love.  My beautiful bows were made with my Bow-it-All V2.0 tool using ribbons from my April assortment.  To view all my bow making videos, please visit my YouTube channel.

The colors on this digital image worked perfectly with the colors in the new April Ribbon Club Assortment.  I just love an aqua and coral color palette - looks like spring!
