Halloween Sweets and Smiles

Hello, everyone! It is Gloria with you again! Back in June, I shared THIS card, where I showed you how to use up your ribbon bits. I decided to do it again with the September Ribbon Club Halloween Assortment!

I do not wish to save short lengths of ribbon because I already have so much and it can get to be a storage nightmare, so I am always looking for ways to use up the "tail end" of a ribbon style. This type of card is perfect for that!

I created a 5" x 6" card from black cardstock. Then, I cut a piece of gray cardstock to slightly smaller than 5" x 6". I used black ink to stamp a Halloween sentiment onto the bottom right of the gray panel. I then added some Scor-tape to the back so that I could wrap short lengths of ribbon around the cardstock panel and secure them. 

I used the following ribbons, from the top: 3/8" Halloween Candy on Tangerine Grosgrain, 5/8" Black Double-Faced Satin, 3/8" Tangerine Satin with Grosgrain Edge, 5/8" Grape Checkerboard Satin, 5/8" Black Double-Faced Satin, 3/8" Apple Diamond Satin, 3/8" Halloween Confetti Dots Grosgrain, 5/8" Tangerine Checkerboard Satin, 3/8" Halloween Bold Diagonal Stripe Grograin.

Note: The Halloween Candy ribbon is NOT in the current Ribbon Club Halloween Assortment, but it is available in the store! See the link above.

Once all the ribbon was attached, I added more Scor-tape and attached the whole panel to the card front. 

I created a bow from the 3/8" Tangerine Satin with Grosgrain Edge ribbon and attached it to the area overlapping the Tangerine Checkerboard Satin ribbon. I did not have enough of the Checkerboard Satin to make a bow! Then, I added lots of flowers (see list of flowers below). I use hot glue to attach all my bows and flowers to my cards. 

Tip: You can always use sprays, inks, paints, or markers to "colorize" your flowers! I keep a stash of white and ivory blooms for just this purpose! 

I finished the card by adding a few matte enamel dots in Halloween colors. This will be a great card to send to someone accompanying a few Halloween treats! 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Trick or Treat?

Hello, again everyone! It is Gloria with you. I am back today using more of the beautiful Really Reasonable Ribbon September Ribbon Club ribbons! 

If you love ribbon, the Ribbon Club is such a great way to try out lots of styles and colors of ribbon! I often buy older sets when Bonnie has them for sale, or I will buy extras of ribbon styles that I particularly love!

My second favorite card size to make is 5" x 6". I don't know why, but just putting the 6" x 6" cards on a little diet makes them seem so much more interesting to me! I love this size, but I do have to either use a 5" x 7" envelope or make my own custom envelopes. 

I shopped my stash for some paper, and I used Graphic 45 Rare Oddities, Pink Paislee  Hocus Pocus, and Echo Park Hocus Pocus (yes, two companies had paper with the same name). 

I also used some chipboard elements and a sticker from Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells. I love to dig through my paper hoard and mix and match! 

The spider web is cut using a die from Papertrey Ink.

Now for the ribbons! I used 5/8" Grape Checkerboard Satin to make a big bow, which I glued to the card. I then added another bow made from 5/8" Black Double-Faced Satin. I added the chipboard square and sticker, along with a metal gear and a metal feather. 

I used some shimmer spray to make a pale lavender rose look a little manky! I also used a few purple rose buds. 

Mixing ribbons with embellishments and flowers is my joy! It makes me so happy! I added a few silver pearls to the card for a finishing touch!

Thank you so much for stopping by! And get your candy ready for Trick or Treat night!

Halloween Treat Bag with Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all! Today I have a super fun Halloween Treat Bag I decorated using Really Reasonable Ribbon's beautiful ribbons and supplies. I forgot how much I love designing cards and such for Halloween, it's so much fun! Also Lily Kitty just had to get in the photos, she loves being with me when crafting and I guess taking photos too....heheeheh
Hope you enjoy!

So for my treat bag I used a bag I had from Pebbles, and added some design paper in orange, then a tag, Tilda, and then some other fun tags and dies. Of course I had to use some of the beautiful ribbons from thie September Ribbon Club Assortment, aren't they sweet?! Love the web ribbon, and the ghost and kitties on the orange one. I did add the stripe one to the bottom of the bag as a border.

Tilda is one of many stamps I have of her, and this one is absolutely darling! She was colored using Copic markers, then I fussy cut her out so she could sit on the border of pumpkins. That pumpkin border was some random stuff I had from the warehouse sale from American Crafts. The Potion bottle is CottageCutz dies, and fits perfectly on my treat bag. The little bat was a potion bottle top and I cut it down to use just the bat. Super fun treat bag to make! Of course Lilybean is the sweetest, she is just hanging out to photo bomb my photo....heheeh - Love her!

For this card I used a spiderweb embossing folder. I embossed the Witch Hat from Graphic 45 stamp Happy Haunting in pink and embossed the the little stars in the sky. I fussy cut the little bats that are from another stamp in my stash and placed them around the Pink Witch Hat image. I created a beautiful pink bow using the pink diamond satin ribbon with the Bow it All V3.0 Tool. I also used the rest of my Spider web ribbon behind my image. I also used an edge punch for the bottom layer of my card.

Cute & Spooky Card

Hi all,

It's my turn to be up on Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog today. I am sharing the wonderful "Too Cute to Spook Mix" from the Reasonable Ribbon shop. 
I made a cute little card with some Halloween paper I had in my stash from years ago. I am so glad I found this paper, it's so cute.  I used a cut apart sheet and cut out the coffin. I just love the cute Wonky Squares on White Satin Ribbon.  It looks great with this card. I also used the Baker's Twine Green in the black button. I also used the cute little Halloween Too Cute to Spook print on black grosgrain ribbon is adhered in the middle of the card.

Here is the inside of the card. So cute!  I thought this little card was perfect for this inside.

I used the 5/8" Gauze Print Satin Ribbon on the top of the cut apart card

and then used a black button with the Baker's Twine Green. 

Here is a close up of the bow I created using the 

Bow It All V3.0 Tool, you can find this the Reasonable Ribbon Store.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you were inspired to make a Halloween Card. We still have our Challenge #149 Things with Wings going and you have some time to join before the new one starts next week. That one one will a fun one!! If you want any of these scrumptious ribbons head over to the Reasonable Ribbon Store.

Wish you all a great rest of your week and Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,
