Love, Hope & Joy

Hello to all our ribbon loving friends!  It's Karen Letchworth posting today.....and let me assure you that you don't really even have to be a ribbon lover to be a lover of Really Reasonable Ribbon because we carry SO much more than just ribbons.  While we do, admittedly, carry the widest variety of ribbons and trims you can imagine; we also have gorgeous Mulberry Flowers, Adhesives, Embellishments, and...the list goes on and on.

For today's card, I used white cardstock and a piece of October Afternoon patterned paper from my stash.  I die-cut the frame from a piece of white wood grain patterned paper, and in the middle of that I stamped my sentiment which is from Simon Says Stamp Big Scripty Holiday Greetings Stamp Set. Next, I added three gorgeous White Lotus Flowers, several (light turquoise) Miniature Mixed Blue Sweetheart Blossoms, Two-Toned Turquoise Open Roses, several White Double Head Stamens and Turquoise Double Head Stamens.  Lots of fabulous Scor-Tape holds everything together securely.

I also tucked in a Green Mulberry Leaf, a White Mulberry Leaf, and some bundled Ivory Burlap String.  At the bottom right of my card, I attached a White Flat Back Pearl.  As I mentioned, there is SO much more than (oodles of) ribbons available at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  This card uses no less than 12 of their items, and only one of those is a spooled trim.  So, I really do hope you will stop by Really Reasonable Ribbon to look around for some Christmas treats for yourself.  You will LOVE what you see.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  We always appreciate your visits and comments.  Have a wonderfully creative week, and really.....check out Really Reasonable Ribbon for all your crafting needs.  They have SO much to offer.

Blessings,

Karen

Thank you card

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to you all! today I have a special card I made for a special someone to say Thank you! Made this one using all Really Reasonable Ribbon flowers and ribbons. Love making thank you cards and using the beautiful ribbons from RRR store.

On my card for today I chose to use the beautiful Delicate Stitched(One of my many favs) in Mineral Ice color. I made two bows and set them close to each other when gluing them down. Next I placed the beautiful Chelsea Rose in pink on the green leaves, and then using other flowers I added them all. I will list them all below.

So I have to tell ya, that I had this little girl stamped up and colored in other colors, so that motivated or gave me inspiration for this one. I stamped her in club scrap black ink, and then colored her with copic markers. It was so much fun, I need to get stamping again, and use my stamps.
The thank you stamp is from Our Daily bread and is an old one. Its stamped in black too. My design papers came from a paper pad that is a 6 x 6 and I cant remember the name.

I really enjoyed making my card for today, and Hope you enjoyed my post! thank you so much!

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies used:
Chelsea Rose
Green Leaves
Delicate Stitched Satin Mineral Ice
Foam squares
scotch advanced Tape runner refill
Rose buds in pink and the yellows
sweetheart blossom
Mini open Rose

Every Moment Is Magical

Thanks for stopping by, everyone.  It's Karen Letchworth today sharing a sweet card that I created using some gorgeous products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I used some sweet patterned papers, stickers, ephemera, chipboard, and a tassel from Crate Paper.  I love this color combination, and this card was SO much fun to put together.

I kept everything very simple, and I can always count on Really Reasonable Ribbon to have the perfect trims and accents for every single project....... this one was no exception.  I used some Gold Metallic String to tie on the tassel, and I bundled some Solid Pink Baker's Twine and Solid Mint Baker's Twine.

I topped the trims with a Mixed Pink Magnolia and some Mixed Pastel Open Roses.  There are several Red Double Head Stamens, Pink Double Head Stamens, White Double Head Stamens and Aqua Double Head Stamens tucked into my bow cluster.  Aren't they just SO beautiful?  For just a couple dollars, you literally get HUNDREDS of these sweet little accents.  I SO LOVE my Double Head Stamens.  In my humble opinion, these are a must-have in every color!

You're ALWAYS sure to find all the PERFECT ribbons, trims, laces, and twines for every project at Really Reasonable Ribbon as well as all the Adhesives, Embellishments, Bow Making Tools, Head Bands, Clips, Mulberry Flowers, and SO much more.  I hope you'll stop in to look around and do some shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Thanks again for stopping by to say hello.

Have a blessed day,

Karen

Happy Easter

Hello to all our sweet and talented blog friends, and thanks for stopping by!  I'm sharing an extra sweet Easter card today that I created with some of favorite products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Everything I create using the fabulous ribbons, trims, flowers and more from Really Reasonable Ribbon do SO much to help make my cards extra special.

This card started with a white base and some inked Simple Stories patterned papers that I attached with strips of Scor-Tape.  I also laid a length of Cream Seam Binding on my card, and used that and lengths of Baby Pink Seam Binding and Lace Blue Seam Binding to tie my big beautiful bow.

In the midst of my Seam Binding bow, I tucked in several colors of the lovely Miniature Double Head Stamens, and I topped everything with some gorgeous Two-Tone Yellow Open Roses in 10mm and 15mm, as well as a 15mm Pale Pink Open Rose.

There's always a perfect trim, flower or embellishment for every project at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I hope that you will stop by often - they're always LOTS of great inspiration here.  Have a blessed week!

Vintage Bits, Bobbles & Beautiful Ribbon

Welcome by the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog today, friends! I don't know about you, but sometimes I find myself falling into a creative rut and I forget to think outside the box now and then.  So, I decided that it's time for something different and therefore; today's Really Reasonable Ribbon project is something a bit different and fun.

I used a pink crochet doily for the base, and the little tin cup is just an antique baking trinket.  I made a little "nest" of trims inside the antique tin by layering Ivory Burlap String, 1/2" Pink Wrinkled Ribbon, lots of gorgeous Miniature Double Head Stamens, and some lovely White Crochet Lace.

Then I attached a vintage wooden spool of pink thread with a wooden rock candy stick through the middle.  I tied some of the 1/2" Pink Wrinkled Ribbon, and White Crochet Lace to the wooden stick, and also attached some Open Roses as a lovely finishing touch.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my project.  There's always lots of great inspiration here on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog, so be sure to stop by often.  I hope you've enjoyed my project today, and that the rest of your week is happy, creative and blessed.  I'd love to have you stop by my blog to say hello.

Shabby Chic Decorated Egg w/ Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to all! Today I have a super sweet Glitter Egg that I decorated with all Really Reasonable Ribbon, using the Gorgeous Ribbons, Lace, Seam Binding, and flowers that Bonnie at RRR carries. Love them all!!

On the egg I started with the lace, and used the wide Cindy lace, and Bonnie has others that are so pretty, you can find them Here. I then made a big bow out of the Delicate Stitched Ribbon, and then the Lace, and then used the Canvas Colored Band in Pink (LOVE this), of course I love all Ribbons...hehehehe 

So after doing all of my ribbon work for the bows, now its time to layer the flowers. I started with the Pink Carnation and green leaves 30mm, which now you cant see. After that I ruched up the checkered ribbon, if you pull a strand it ruches very nicely, or you can pull the plastic part at the top or the bottom, be careful when doing so, you can pull it out completely. Anyways once I did ruche it up I hot glued it under the sides of my carnation on both sides. I did add a Rose bud on both sides, however for some reason the one side fell out, and i forgot to hot glue it. I also added some Aster Daisy's as well.

**I save all my stems from all these flowers, I try to cut them up high close to the flower, and then I can use the wire to tie my bows. Its nice to recycle and use up all the wire for other things.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies:

Lace (cindy)

1/2" checkered ribbon, green ,ivory, pink

Delicate Stitched Satin Pearl Pink Ribbon

Canvas Colored Band Pink Ribbon

Pink Carnations Mixed

30mm green leaves

10mm open roses

aster daisy

Pink Rose  2-tone pink buds

Seam Binding Rose petal

other supplies:

I hope you enjoyed my post for today, and thank you so much for stopping by! Have a lovely day!

On The Menu....Peppermint Candy

Hey there, everyone!  Welcome by today as I (Karen) share an extra sweet card I created using lots of fabulous products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I used some older Crate Paper (Peppermint) patterned papers, chipboard and stickers.  When I saw that chipboard sentiment (Peppermint Candy), I knew right away that I wanted to add a real peppermint stick or candies to  my card.  I attached my patterned papers using a fabulous Adhesive called Scor-Tape, and I inked the papers' edges and then machine stitched around the upper edges.

At the center of my card (or just below center actually), I added a "menu" journalling card and half of a white doily; and then I ran a width of Baby Pink Seam Binding across my card.  I tied the bow with more of the Baby Pink Seam Binding along with some Bay Leaf Seam Binding, and a bundled length of Red Burlap String.  There are also lots of my very favorite Embellishment of all....loads of gorgeous Red Double-Head Stamens, White Double-Head Stamens, some Baby Blue Double-Head Stamens, and even a few Aqua Double-Head Stamens cascading through my bow to highlight that sweet peppermint stick.

I topped that sweet bow cluster with some beautiful Open Red Roses, and some Open Roses in pinks from the lovely Mixed Pinks 10mm Open End Roses.  All the pinks in this sweet set are absolutely GORGEOUS...just like all the wonderful Mulberry Flowers found in the RRR Shop.

Thanks again for stopping by today.  I hope you'll be sure to stop by the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog for even more fabulous inspiration and for updated information about special sales and events (such as our monthly Blog Hops) taking place.  We always love to have you visit, and we're happy to answer any questions.

Snowman Treat Box Decorated with Ribbon and Flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all! Today I have recycled this darling snowman treat box that I received in a basket that held truffles.  I thought how cute it would look decorated with Really Reasonable Ribbon, flowers, and embellishments. I did take a before photo of it not decorated and then with it decorated so you could see a before and after photo. Hope you enjoy my post for today, and I hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas as well!

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies:
Mulberry Flowers Open Roses 20mm white (29 used on snowman)
Seam Binding Lipstick Red(snowman scarf) 
30mm white leaves
embellishment
hunter gingham ribbon 3/8"
resin flower on the snowman's hat 
flower shaped rhinestone embellishment

So for this sweet little snowman treat box, I started with covering the bottom of him with 29 open roses in all white. Love how it looks. Next I ruched up the seam binding in lipstick red and added it to the scarf around his neck to give it a neat look, and then added some white leaves, green gingham and a green flower rhinestone embellishment.

For the hat I chose to do the same using the seam binding, but this time I added a little flower resin embellishment to his hat. This project was super fun to do, as I enjoyed taking a break from everything else going on, and being able to just craft for a bit. Hope you enjoyed my post for today!

Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you so much for stopping by! Hugs to all

Thanks!

Hello, and thanks for stopping by!  Karen Letchworth here today sharing a cute card that I created for you using a wide variety of Really Reasonable Ribbon's amazing products.  I started by attaching several patterned papers together using an awesome Adhesive called Scor-Tape.  Once all my papers, including the die-cut border, were in place, I ran a width of Peacock Alley Seam Binding across my card and I used that along with some Lipstick Red Seam Binding to create my bow.  Atop this bow, you will see that I tucked in pieces of Red Center Stitch Burlap, Blue Center Stitch Burlap, White Crochet Lace, and Red Gingham Ribbon.  I also added several Red, Teal Blue, White and Black Double Head Stamens into the cluster, and topped it with a Red, a Mixed Blue, and a Black Open Rose.  Don't they all look SO pretty together?

I added some vintage scotch tape and some stickers.  I stamped my (thanks) image onto a sticker and I touched all the paper edges with distress inks.  Papers are lovely, but it's really everything else that gives our cards so much personality, texture and detail.  This card really came to life once I added all the wonderful touches from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  And another I thing that I absolutely LOVE about RRR is that they ALWAYS have the perfect color trims and accents for every project.  They really do!

I hope you will take some time to do some browsing/shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  You will quickly find that they carry SO much more than hundreds of different ribbons and trims.  They have Embellishments, Adhesives, gorgeous Mulberry Flowers and so much more.  There's always plenty of inspiration and fun here on the RRR Blog as well, so we do hope you'll stop by often.

Have a wonderful week; and I welcome you to visit my blog, My Cup Runneth Over, for further details.  We're so glad you stopped by today, and hope you'll visit us again soon.  Keep it crafty!

Little Accents Make Big Impacts

Hello ribbon lovers!
I am excited to be sharing a beautiful layout using Really Reasonable Ribbon products.  

On this layout, I wanted the photos of one of my many antiquing adventures to be center stage.  I used the beautiful Deep Ivory Open Roses and the Burlap Natural String on the tag.  I love the versatility of the Burlap Natural String.  It can be layered with ribbons, small enough to add a sweet bow to small flowers or all on it's own.

Next I added another one of my favorite laces, the Debra Natural Crochet Lace.

I finished with adding small amounts of burlap and vintage buttons.

Sometimes the little accents make big impacts.  

Hope you are inspired to add a few accents to your next layout or creative project.

Open to Adding Layers

Hello ribbon lovers!  

Are you open to adding layers of ribbons, lace and embellishments to your artwork?

Really Reasonable Ribbon makes it easy to get your layers of ribbons, lace and floral embellishments all in one place.  By adding layers of Cream Roses, then a bow of Burlap String Natural String and topping it up with the Sheer Iridescent Champagne Ribbon, it adds visual interest to your artwork.

By adding layers of Cream Roses, then a bow of Burlap String Natural String and topping it up with the Sheer Iridescent Champagne Ribbon, it adds visual interest to your artwork.

I then added the gorgeous Debra Natural Crochet Lace to the side of album page to add additional layers.  

Hoping you are open to adding a few layers of beautiful ribbons, lace and embellishments to your next creative project.

Family Heritage Layout

Hello ribbon lovers.  I am sharing a family heritage layout using beautiful ribbons and flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  

I tied a bow using the Leather Tan Seam Binding. I glued the Wild Orchid Open Rose Mixed Pink Tone to the layout and added a little glimmer to the rose tips by adding glitter glue.

I added Juliet Lace at the top of the layout to complete.

I hope you enjoyed a little family heritage layout inspiration.

Wishing you a create day, dear friends.

A Masculine Thinking of You Card

It's the weekend! wooo hooo!
So let's get our crafty on with some fun ribbons and trims! ;)

I needed a 'Thinking of You' type card for my uncle who is very ill. In his younger days, he used to love to hunt. I was so excited when I found a wonderful page of Woodland Deer Tags over at Polly's Paper Studio. You might remember that this store was a sponsor of our last challenge here at Really Reasonable Ribbon, but Ginny, the owner, is also on the Design Team! :)  It was so easy to add one of these images to a card for my uncle.

The tag itself is tied with dark brown plaid ribbon that I lightly inked to give it an aged feel.  A little snippet of brown burlap string ties the bow and is used on the big vintage button, too.  A piece of crochet trim tops the vellum stripe banner.  The pretty flower is one of the new coral open roses in the store. I added a few touches of ink to have it match the flowers on the tag.

More detailed information about the card can be found on my blog, "Just Coffee Please..."

I do hope you will join our 'Celebrate with Ribbon or Trim' challenge!  We would love to see your latest projects! :)

Enjoy your weekend!

Shabby Valentine by Jenn Cochran

Welcome friends and followers of RRR!  So glad you could join me today.  I have a really fun and simple Shabby Chic Valentine.  I have used several Really Reasonable Ribbon products that are all must-haves! 

My ribbon/bow is Ivory Faux Canvas.  It is very similar to seam binding and is really easy to tie,  The end result is nothing short of beautiful!

The flowers are Trellis Roses, Open Roses and Bead Berry Sprays. They are all Wild Orchid and found at Really Reasonable Ribbon. I used my eBrush and Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers to spray a light coating of a Gray Brown color over all of the pink roses.  This gave them that aged look.  

Thanks so much for visiting!  Hope you will try Shabby Chic.  It is difficult for me to craft in this style but I do like the end result of this card!
