I'm Home

Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday to you all!
Hope you all are enjoying your summer, and getting to spend some time with your family and friends. Summertime is my favorite time of the year, as we can spend a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful summer heat :) I love fall too, but I'm in no hurry for it to arrive....heheheehehehe

So today I have a card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the Beautiful white satin with Grosgrain edge stitched, and white leaves trim. I used the white Satin to create my bow, and then the white leave trim for the glass flowers I made.

 I love the colors on this design paper, it's the I Do Collection from American Crafts.  I got this for SUPER CHEAP, like $1.20 for an entire package, since I got 40% off the warehouse price.

I love making my glass flowers. These turned out ok, I can now see the different colors from the glue pad, I need to find a new one, but my local Michaels, and Hobby Lobby do not carry them , so will have to order online. I did add some vintage beads to the centers, and then used the White Leaf Trim to run around and under my flowers. Lastly my sewing was done in silver!

I hope you all enjoyed my post for today, and thank you for stopping by!
Have a wonderful day!
hugs to all

Secret Garden Miracles

Hi all, 

It's me Deborah,  sharing a card I created using two ribbons that look like one. 

As soon as I saw the White Satin double ruffle ribbon and the Ric Rac flowered yellow  I knew I had to try this idea that popped into my head. I was so excited that it worked and I love the way it looks! So now that I know it looks great, I totally gotta try the other colors. I hope you all try it too. 

So I used Graphic 45 Secret Garden Collection, 'cause I just had to use yellow and green, it's so pretty. I cut about a 6 inch piece of the White Satin double ruffle ribbon and Ric Rac flowered yellow took a piece of 1/4 inch score tape and adhered them together. I then tied a little white bow using the white satin double ribbon, I just love this ruffly ribbon, and cut a "V" on the edges of my tails. It turned out so cute.  I added my Wild Orchid flowers along with green leaves and that's it. Super easy card. I did do some fussy cutting, which was the little bird in the nest and layered the cut apart card on top. I found a little circle cutout in my stash inked it with powder puff inks. I placed some white corner stickers in the four corners. I really think these two ribbons created a beautiful look to the card along with the flowers. 

I used White Satin double ruffle ribbon with the 

Ric Rac flowered yellow  adhered in the middle

and a tiny white bow. 

I also used Wild Orchid Flowers. I just love the White Cherry Blossom Flowers 

together with the Sweetheart Blossoms 2-toned Yellow is just beautiful 

along with the Green leaf ribbons tucked in a few spots. 

I love the green and yellow with white, it's one of my favorite color combos. 

I hope you enjoyed the card and try to use this idea for some of your projects. Thank you for stopping by and stay crafty. Don't forget to join our challenges. You can use this idea on one of your cards. 

Hugs

Haunted House Treat Bag and a Mulberry Flower Storage Idea Video

Hello everyone, and Happy Monday to all!

Today I have a Halloween Treat Bag I made for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the beautiful ribbons from last months Ribbon Club assortment. I also used the beautiful Sweetheart Blossoms, Leaf Trim, and some Lace to complete my bag.

I started with my treat bag, then cut some Spellbinders frames for the background using American Crafts design paper. Next I layered the black and orange ribbon and ran in from the left corner to the bottom right corner, alternating the colors. Then I used foam squares to pop the frames off the bag, and then added my CottageCutz Haunted House and Spooky Sign. Once that was done, I added the Leaf Trim in black and orange, and then used Really Reasonable Ribbons Sweetheart Blossoms in orange and white. I did dust them both, using orange on the orange flowers, and black on the white. Next I went over them with some American Crafts liquid glitter glue. I love the look of them in person. To put the lace and ribbon on the bag I used Scor-tape in 1/4" .

I wanted to share how I store some of my Really Reasonable Ribbon Sweetheart Blossom flowers for easy grabbing. So here is a short video showing how :)   Enjoy!!!

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed today's post!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

Gold Leaves Thank You Card

Happy Monday!
Today we are starting a new week with shine and sparkle! I wanted to create a card with lots of gold, so I took one of my favorite ribbons from RRR, the leaf trim. It is so easy to add different colors to fit your needs. 

To create this thank you card, I embossed the leaf trim with gold embossing powder. You can use any colored ink pads, glitters, embossing powders, or paints to add all sorts of colors. To emboss it, simply ink it up with versa mark ink pad and pour your choice of embossing powder, and heat set it.

Isn't it so cool and shiny? I love working with the white trim since it is easy to customize for different occasions. 
Thanks for dropping by! Hope you enjoyed this card with a quick tip!

"Celebrate" layout by Tracey

Good morning, it's Tracey here to share a scrapbook layout with you featuring Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Weddings are a time for celebration, and I just adore this photo of the wedding party celebrating Elizabeth and Andrew's special day. This page features several of Bonnie's gorgeous ribbons, lace, and cording and is created with the ScrapThat! August Kit.

"Celebrate"

MK, EAO, FAO

Really Reasonable Ribbon Products:

Seam Binding - White 1/2"

Leaves - White by May Arts

Juliet Natural Crochet Lace 5/8"

Metallic String ~ Iridescent White

Tombow 3D Foam Pads

Scor-Tape 6" x 6"

Tips and Techniques:

Four Loop Ribbon Bow ~ I used a variation on Ginny's double loop bow to create this bow with gorgeous white Seam Binding. Instead of using my fingers, I got creative and used the handles of my pliers. You can find Ginny's Double Loop Bow Tutorial here. 

Ribbon Leaves ~ I wanted the ribbon leaves to be tucked into my cluster, so I cut off lengths of May Arts White Ribbon Leaves with just one or two leaves and placed them around my flowers. 

Tucked Lace ~ Bonnie has so many fabulous laces to chose from, and I used one of my fave's to tuck into the edges of my page, the Juliet Natural Crochet Lace. 

Chipboard ~ I "painted" on some Smooch Accents in moonlight to add the creamy pearlized accents to my Dusty Attic chipboard. 

Gem Banner ~ I used the pearl gems from the ScrapThat kit along with some decorative jewelry links from my stash to create this corner feature. I used Bonnie's Tombow 3-D Foam Tabs to adhere the pearl gems. 

Corrugated Butterfly and Heart ~ These are hand crafted from corrugated board with tiny ridges, the kind in postal shipping boxes. The heart was wrapped with RRR Iridescent White Metallic String by May Arts. This is one of Bonnie's must have's from her store. I love the sparkly bling this sweet thread adds to my projects!! My Corrugated Butterfly Tutorial can be found here. 

A close-up of my glittered butterfly. 

I used this Bird Is the Word sketch and featured word, "Celebrate" as inspiration.

Be sure to stop by the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store to check out Bonnie's amazing selection of ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have been inspired to add ribbon, lace and cording to your next scrapbooking project!!

Another Fun Fold Card

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with another Fun Fold Card for Really Reasonable Ribbon. Today's Fold is a Z Card Fold. On my card I used several different ribbons, trims and laces from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Z fold Card 6 x 17" long

I love making different card folds.  They are super fun and super cute.  I love this one since it has different scenes on it. For the front of my card I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's Pink Satin in 2 different sizes. I also used the Moss Leaves Trim, and Noelle Lace.  For the big bow I used the Pink Double Ruffled edge ribbon. I also used Tilda, her bench, and Wild Orchid flowers. All direct links are listed here below :)

Ribbons Used:

Pink Satin

Moss Green Leaves

Double Ruffled Edge Pink Ribbon

Noelle White Crocheted Lace

Scor-Tape

Next you see Tilda and a CottageCutz magnolia Doily.  I figured I could add a stamp sentiment here or some writing. 

 In my next picture you can see the entire card open. I think it's neat to have the writing hidden, you see the tab in the back, well that pulls out for double sided writing, there is enough room to write on the front and the back of this pull tab panel. 

close up of the front. I used the CottageCutz Picket Fence border die, and ran RRR Satin Pink through it.

Here on this page, I added Tilda's Tree, and Tilda Sitting. her bird, and some cloud die cut pieces. I stamped on them with SU! sentiments. All Tilda Stamps are from Michelle's Scrapbooking and More!

On my back page, I continued on with the Cottagecutz Picket Fence border, and then used the New CottageCutz window. Perfect for writing. I also added another Tilda and another Bird and cloud here.

Now you can see where the writing is hidden here. LOVE this!!! Also LOVE working with Really Reasonable Ribbon!!! Thank you Bonnie for everything and I'm super EXCITED to be designing for another term!!! I couldnt imagine life without RRR :) Its my FAVORITE!!!! 

I want to say Thank you all for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments and support!!! Hope you all have a lovely day!!

Hugs,

Cheryl

Victorian Silk and Trim!

Hello, it's Connie again! My card today uses a few different ribbons from the Really Reasonable Ribbon store! First, the burgundy silk ribbon going across the top of the card, and tied in a bow is actually 1 1/4" wide, but I did not want it that wide for this card, so I placed scor-tape on one side length wise across the ribbon and folded it in half. I then tied a smaller bow with the full 1 1/4" ribbon. Next, I used Moss Green Leaves trim with the small flowers from Zva Creative going across my card. I sure think both help give my card the Victorian touch I was looking for!


The verse on this card is from the newly released Anchor set from Our Daily Bread Designs. The sentiment panel was then distressed with Scattered Straw and Antique Linen distress inks to match the DP, which is from Basic Grey's Curio package.

Thanks so much for visiting! For more projects and cards with ribbons from the RRR store, you can head over to my blog!

Hello, It's Connie again!! For my card today, I have used some more of the wonderful ribbons from this month's ribbon of the month assortment: the Brown Leaf Trim and Brown satin/grosgrain double band ribbon from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store. I have to say...I so LOOOOVE the leaf trim...I have some in green also...can't wait to give that a try too!


My image is from the Full of Grace - Blessings set from ODBD. For the sketch, I decided to use the Mojo Monday #169. The sentiment was cut out with the labels 5 nestabilites with my Grand Calibur machine and then sponged with old paper distress ink. The DP is from Basic Grey's Curio package. To finish off the card, I added three flowers from Zva Creative sprayed with Glimmer Mist.
