Woodland Creature Cards by Cherry Nelson

 Hellllllllllo RRR peeps!  Cherry here on the blog today to share a woodland theme holiday greeting with you.  If there are cute animals involved, I am always down for creating with them.  We all could use some cuteness in the world right about now.  I gathered up my supplies and created a more traditional Nordic color scheme with my hedgehog shaker, and the other card is in more masculine forest greens and browns.  I love this sweet owl and the sentiment "tis the season to be J'owly" ...also love me a good pun. 

I used lots of fun flowers..some from Really Reasonable Ribbon and some I created using Foamirian and stamens from the store.  I used diecuts in varying size frames to create a shadow effect on both cards.  I love the dimension it adds to my cards.   Well that is it for me.  Please scroll down for a full supply list.

As always thanks for stopping by!  Stay healthy and creative friends. 

XOXO, Cherry

You are fabulous Mini Book

I was so inspired with the new colors this month for our August Ribbon Club Assortment I really, really had fun with my projects to share this month.  I found a few new things that of course i had to have, lots of RRR ribbons and added a few things I had in my stash.  This easel is a great find by Heidi Swapp and you can even ink it in colors or use color sprays to make it whatever you want it to be.

So today i am sharing this mini book that i did with the easel I picked up and some fun papers by Kaisercraft called Spring Bloom.  The rich oranges, greens and pinks were perfect to mix with my new ribbons and there is lots of places for photos to put of my daughter and her friends. 

 On this page i used the Burlap Center Stitch Ribbon with a red line down the center. I think it mixes in really well with the kraft tags and the embossing on them.

 You can never have enough colors of bakers twine and i love adding a little texture on my pages just by tying a quick bow on it.  You can find all the twine colors in the shop here.....

On this page i used a kraft envelope and glued it down and then covered it with a piece of

kraft paper that i embossed.  I just added a pretty white seam binding ribbon with a pin and a few

stickers from the sticker sheet in the set.  Super quick and easy and this way i can add more

photos if i wanted to.  And you could make a journaling card to put inside too.

I especially love this wired woven chevron ribbon and love the way it mixes with all the 

other pretty ribbons that i have.  I mixed the seam binding with it and added a little

bit of jute just because i am a little addicted to using it lately.  I love how it looks and

the ribbons has the prettiest design with the satin and mat together.  

Well that's all from me today but i have lots more to share and don't forget to check out the challenges this month for a chance to win some of these beautiful ribbons!!  

Have a wonderful weekend....Teresa

A Sweet Treat Tin

Hello Really Reasonable Ribbon fans!  Jan here to share a "Sweet Treats Tin".  I've used the January Club Assortment and the Bow Easy.  

Here's the inside.

Here's how to make your own.Start with a window tin.  Protect the window of the tin by placing cardboard over it.  The heat embossing tool may melt the window otherwise.

Using Versa Color Ink pad, rub the tin with some ink, and heat emboss using Cable Car Red Embossing Powder.

Rub random areas with Versa Color and heat emboss areas with Earthtone Pepper Embossing Powder.

Heat emboss a metal trim piece using Cable Car Red.

Cut a Vintage Image to fit the top portion of the tin.  Add a piece of white lace to the top edge of the metal trim piece.  Adhere the image to the trim.

Adhere this piece to the window.

Using the Bow Easy Tool, make a small bow.

Adhere a pearl heart to the center of the bow.

Adhere the bow at the top of the metal trim piece. Embellish with pearls and a heart gem.   Add sweet treats and a vintage image to the inside of the tin.
