Merry Christmas Sleigh

Hello crafty friends and Happy Thursday to you all! Today I have a fun project I designed not only for Really Reasonable Ribbon , but also for my hutch in my kitchen. I love the way it turned out using lots of Really Reasonable Ribbon, some Hot Cocoa, a Gingerbread Spoon, and some of the chocolate marshmallow spoons, and peppermint chocolates.

I used the gorgeous ribbons that are Xmas Traditions 

Really Reasonable Ribbon -

• Xmas Traditions 
• Satin Ribbon swiss dots in red
• Checkerboard satin red 
• Bakers Twine

all items like sleigh, and chocolate spoons, and gingerbread spoons were bought at Hobby Lobby, the hot cocoa I bought at tjmaxx, and the tags are from AC. I added some holly to my sleigh, and then the little white dew drops are from The Robins Nest Creative.

I do hope you enjoyed my post for today, and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! 

Hugs,

Cheryl

 

Stocking Ornament with Cherry

     Hello crafty peeps! Cherry here, so excited to be designing for RRR again!  Today I am sharing a fun ornament.  I used a gorgeous large chipboard piece and embossed it.  I then covered it in plaid papers.  I used the Snowflakes in Red Satin for it to hang from. 

 From there I created my center piece for the ornament.  A cute stocking covered in pattern papers.  I added several ribbons including Red Seam Binding, Baker's Twine in Cherry, and Plaid Ribbon in Christmas Red and Green.

I added some other goodies "inside" the stocking and added some handmade paper fringe and ric rac and that completed my ornament. 

Enjoy my friends!!!   Cherry

Cute Idea for Christmas this year

     

Everything has a bit of inspiration to it's beginnings and today my project is something that would be really fun to make for your kids or have them help you with.  I found a chipboard mailbox in my local hobby store and thought how fun to make up one for Santa to leave special messages in or treats for your kids for the holidays.  They could write a special letter to him or maybe even notes, and of course Santa would send something special via the elves to answer back :)  How special would that be for a Christmas memory this year?

So to make my box, I used the chipboard mailbox and cut pieces of paper to fit the sides and the front, back and the bottom.  I used quick dry liquid adhesive to glue all the pieces on, and then I inked the edges to make it a little more rustic and vintage.  The paper I used is from My Minds Eye Christmas collection.  I love the colors of it and the tags were nice to use on the side too.

Here is a closeup of the ribbons and gold cording I used to decorate the handle that lets them know that something special is inside when it is up.  I used wrinkled ribbon in green and burgundy seam binding too.  The flower is made with a Spellbinders die in papers to match with gold on the edges.

If you are doing lots of projects this year you are going to love to use some of the metallic gold and silver strings.  They are easy to use and you can slide things like bells and other little goodies on

easily to dress up your projects like I did.  

So thank you for dropping over and don't forget to leave me a comment and let me know what you think of my idea today.... Have a wonderful day... Teresa

DIY Christmas Decor With Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello Really Reasonable Ribbon fans!  Jan here sharing a canvas bag hanger.  I've dressed up the little coin envelope with Cherry Baker's Twine.  I love the assortment of Baker's twine at Really Reasonable Ribbon!

I started with 2 pieces of 7"x 9" canvas.  Leaving the top open, sew the sides and bottom.  Tea stain the bag and lay it on a towel.  While the bag is still wet, sprinkle on a bit of ground cinnamon.  Mist with Glimmer Mist.

Using a paint brush, brush the cinnamon in.Using Ribbon Adhesive, adhere vintage lace at the top.

I bought a red dog collar with bells at the dollar store.  For an aged look, soak the collar in salt water for several days.

Hot glue a 2"x7" piece of weathered wood to the top of the canvas bag.

Add vintage images and a small coin envelope wrapped in Cherry Baker's Twine.

Hot glue the metal sleigh in place.  Add some mini Christmas ornaments.
