Really Reasonable Ribbon and Gracielle Design

Hello, everyone!  Thanks for shopping by today.  Karen Letchworth sharing today with a card I created using some fabulous products from Really Reasonable Ribbon along with some sweet new images from Gracielle Design.  The base of my card is a green corrugated cardboard that I sprinkled with "snow" on the edges.  This "snow" is actually just crumbled styrofoam.  I printed two of the images from the new Winter Blessings Stamp Set from Gracielle Design (Pinecone and Pine Branch) and layered them in the upper right-hand corner of my card by using a fabulous Adhesive called Scor-Tape.  I tucked in a piece of Red Grosgrain Chevron Striped Twill and a length of Silver Metallic Twine to give the card some great texture and personality (which ribbons and trims always do).  The final touch was adding pieces from Red Craft Bead Berry Spray Clusters.   I also printed a sentiment from the lovely Winter Blessings Stamp Set.

There are so many FABULOUS ribbons, trims, twines, laces, as well as Embellishments and more at Really Reasonable Ribbon to help you create something AMAZING!  And Gracielle Design has so many great stamp sets to help get your creativity flowing.  They're a great combination!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you will visit again tomorrow (and every day) for more wonderful inspiration, special promotions, and lots of fun.  We always enjoy your visits!

Winter Blessings,

Christmas Poinsettias with Graciellie Design and Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello, it is Gloria with you today, in a rare appearance on the RRR Blog! You usually only see me for the monthly hop! I am very happy to be able to bring you a special Christmas card post today! The team from Really Reasonable Ribbon has paired up with Graciellie Design, and we had an opportunity to play with the wonderful digital stamps and digital papers from Graciellie Design.

I used some digital papers and sentiment stamps from the Christmas Poinsettias Set from Graciellie Design and ribbon from the RRR November Ribbon Club Assortment, plus some hoarded ribbon from one of the past ribbon club assortments (5/8" Christmas Tradition Plaid Ribbon)!

I have used Graciellie Design images before, so it was such a treat to get a chance to use them again. This set has a lovely flower image and FOUR beautiful sentiments.

As a bonus, I also got a chance to use the stunningly beautiful papers in the Holiday Traditions Digital Paper Pack.

I created a top-fold 6" x 6" card to showcase, not only the papers and sentiment, but also the ribbon bouquet. I printed the digital papers at 8" x 8" onto on off-white cardstock. I do not have a 12" x 12" printer, so I always print my papers at 8" x 8" as it makes the prints the perfect size for card making. 

I printed the sentiment with black ink and then cut it out with an oval die. I backed the sentiment with a decorative oval cut from gold cardstock.

For the ribbon bouquet, I first wrapped a length of the 5/8" Christmas Tradition Plaid Ribbon around the card. Then, I tied a loopy bow from the 3/8" Vanilla Satin with Gold Metallic Edges, which is part of the November Ribbon Club Assortment, and glued it to the card. I created a larger bow from the plaid ribbon and glued it just above the satin bow. 

I glued a charm, a few bells, and a tiny pine cone to the top of the ribbon. I also tucked in some gold ball garland and one of the Red Spiral Stamens into the top of the bow.

I topped the sentiment with some Christmas-y enamel dots.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Be sure to stop back each day to see some new ideas and inspiration featuring ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and digital stamps and papers from Graciellie Design.

Happy Crafting,

Gloria

Rejoice & Be Thankful Christmas Card

Hello ribbon lovers!  Have you started making your Christmas cards this year?  It is easy to create beautiful cards with Graciellie Digital Designs and embellish them with Really Reasonable Ribbon products.

 For this easy card, I printed out several of the papers in the Holiday Traditions digital pack and Cheery Christmas stamps.  I colored in the sweet wreath using colored pencils.

 Next, I added the Peppermint Baker's Twine, Gold Metallic Forest Ribbon and  Beaded Berry Cluster.

This was a fun and easy card to complete.  Hoping this inspires you to create some handmade Christmas cards to give.

Winter Blessings with Gracielle Design and Country Holiday Ribbons

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Have you started working on your Christmas card list yet?  If not, maybe this vintage style Winter Blessings Christmas Card made with digital stamps and papers from Gracielle Design and RRR Country Holiday Ribbons will get your creative wheels turning.

I chose to work with the Winter Blessings Digital Stamp Set and the Holiday Tradtions Digital Paper Pack from Gracielle Design.  These pretty papers pair up perfectly with Cream Satin/Turftan Swirl ribbon from the November Ribbon Club Collection.  For a little extra holiday sparkle, I topped the bow with metallic gold string.

I printed the Christmas Bells paper to measure 6" square, then trimmed to 5.75" so I could double mat it on this 6" square card base.  After heat setting the ink on the sentiment (this prevents the ink from running)  I added some color with Distress Inks.  Next, I matted it on green metallic foil papers and added my ribbon and embellishments.

Here's a peek at the inside of the card.

To dress up the sentiment panel, I wrapped it with Vanilla Satin/Gold Metallic Edge ribbon and tied a simple square knot.  You could easily use this simple design on the interior as a card front if desired.

I always seem to wait until the last minute to get my Christmas cards done.  Often then don't get mailed until after the holiday!  Shame on me!  I'm going to try to get things done in a more timely fashion this year...but don't hold your breath!  LOL

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas with Graciellie Design and Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Sunday to you all!

Today's card was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon & Graciellie Designs using beautiful Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon & Graciellie's beautiful Digital Stamps and Design Papers! LOVE these!!! Also love that I'm getting some of my Christmas cards done, and should have enough to hand out for Christmas this year again :) Gotta LOVE that! hehehe

So for my card I started with using the design papers from Graciellie Design called "Holiday Traditions" and for the sentiment and poinsettias I used "Christmas Poinsettias".  I layered each layer using card stock that is already embossed with dots.

For the poinsettias, I colored them with Copic markers and then fussy cut them out. I also used Gold Stamens for the centers. I did layer 2 different sized poinsettias to create a 3-D look.

Bows were done using the Forest Green Delicate Stitched ribbon. Talk about easy bows, this ribbon does the trick every time. Its so easy to create them as the ribbon flows and lays perfectly. Love that!! On my top bow I used Really Reasonable Ribbons "Colored Flower Rhinestone Embellishment"

For putting my card together I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's 
Scor-Tape,
Foam Tabs 
Soctch ATG tape.

 I absolutely love this design paper, the patterns are so beautiful in this collection. It's been a long time since I have used digital designs, and I have to say I did enjoy working with these, so thank you so much to Graciellie Design!!!

I really enjoyed creating my card for today using Graciellie Design digis, and ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon! I hope you enjoyed my post! Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,
Cheryl
