Hot Cocoa Sleigh with RRR

 

Hello crafty friends and Happy Monday to you all! Today's post is a Hot Cocoa Sleigh I put together for a gift and for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the gorgeous ribbons that Bonnie carries in the shop.

For the sleigh I bought it at Hobby Lobby and then used the cricut to cut out some vinyl for the Merry Christmas. Next I used the Plaid Ribbon Christmas in the 5/8" and 3/8" for the bows on the sleigh and the hot cocoa jar. for the chocolate spoons I used the grosgrain Swiss dot ribbon in 3/8" . I hot glued the ribbons, poinsettias and holly leaves on the sleigh. I did tie on a gingerbread boy spoon for the hot cocoa. and there are two gnome ornaments inside the sleigh. Super fun to make . Lastly I used a sweetheart blossom on the holly leaves and its hot glued on as well

Hope you enjoyed my post today and thank you so much for stopping by! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all

Hugs, Cheryl

Hello crafty friends and Happy Monday to you all! Today Im sharing this darling sewing machine box with hidden drawers and areas to put things. I made the sewing machines a few years back and had some ready to decorate when I needed a gift. So this one I did using all Really Reasonable Ribbon flower, ribbons and pearls. Love how it turned out, and hope you do too!

*So for flowers I used 

Mini Sweetheart blossoms, sweetheart blossoms, cherry blossoms, carnations, Open roses, rosebuds, trellis Rose. Cottage Rose I ended up hot gluing them all on, and I even used some of the leaves and then added some dew drops in black. The ribbon bows I did and then hot glued. I added some metal leaves too.

*Ribbon I used is Satin Pink in two different sizes 1/4" and 5/8" I did add some of the darling flower embellishments to the knobs on this machine. 12mm flat backed white pearls I used in the center of the top of my machine.

so this will be one of my door prize gifts at our luncheon this week, and I added some vintage laces, some RRR flowers, and some trims that RRR use to carry for the gifts in here. Oooo and don't forget a little christmas candy....hehehehee

A Pair of Autumn Cards

Hello Ribbon Loving Frinds! 

Happy Wednesday to you all, I hope you are having a crafty week! 

Misty @Mommyofkidz here with you today

to share a pair of Autumn Inspired cards with you. 

I have been making more cards recently because I intend to start next year with intention of sending more written notes as opposed to texts or email. I have been stock-piling my cards so that I have ZERO excuse come 2025! 

For this first one, I used Ivory Burlap String and Double Faced Satin Aqua Ribbon 1.5 inch width.  I also used the digital stamp sentiment on the inside. 

For this Next Card, I used Jute String, 12mm Flat Backed Pearls, And the Pumpkin Spice Digital stamp from Bonnie Garby Designs.

TIP: I used a razor knife to remove all the insides of the pumpkin that were black in the stamp.  I then used the plaid paper behind it to create the look of the pumpkin. 

I then added the Wild Orchid Mulberry Paper Leaf to the stem to make it look even more realistic. 

Both Cards Feature a Digital Stamp Sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs.

I love how my Pair of Autumn Inspired Cards came out! 

As I learn more about card making, I would definitely say that having a

sentiment already prepared makes a difference in the process! 

I will definitely be making more cards with 

Bonnie Garby Designs

Digital Stamps! 

Actually, I have a Baby Shower card already in the making! 

Maybe I will share that one on my next post!

See you all soon!

Have a wonderfully crafty week!!

 

Street Party Scrapbook Layout

 Hello all my fellow ribbon lovers and Happy Monday!  Misty (@Mommyofkidz) here today, and before I share my project, I have a question for you.  

What is your favorite thing to do with your ribbon? 

The answer is easy for me. I LOVE to make boutique style hair bows. However, I also very much love to scrapbook, and I almost always use ribbon, twine, or lace on my layouts. I have one more question, then I will share...lol.  I know, I know...it is way too early on a Monday for all this! (ha ha)

What type of ribbon craft would you like to see more of on the blog?

Ok, now that we have played "20 questions", I will share! :) (Two...Twenty...who's counting!!?? :)  Anyway, today I am sharing a layout with you featuring some 4th of July Festivities. 

I did this as part of a Progressive Challenge that I participated in recently, so it is just a bit different than my normal style, but I am in love with how this turned out! I used several bits and pieces from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store on this....

There were four steps to the Progressive Challenge, and as I was building this layout, I had no clue what the next step would be. Ultimately, one could end up with a jumbled mess, or something amazing.  I got lucky that my layout turned out to be something that I love! 

I began with the ribbon on the bottom title strip, which I pleated so that it could be seen better. The 5/8 Red Poppy Satin Ribbon was a perfect match to the vintage paper that I chose to start my layout with. 

I also used some jute string which I LOVE and use on quite a lot of my projects.  While I have used the natural color, I do have it in several other colors that can be found in the Really Reasonable Ribbon store. 

Peep all the mulberry roses that I have used! Y'all, I can not tell you enough how addicted to these things I am! I don't know if I have every color yet, but my stash has certainly grown! I used the 10mm open roses on this layout in red, white, and blue obviously. 

While I had no clue how this would turn out when I began, I fell in love with each step along the way. Part of the reason that I love it so much is the "eye candy" that I was able to add to enhance the overall "vibe" of the layout. Most of which came from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I certainly hope that you have gained some inspiration today, and I also hope that you will leave a comment for me answering my questions that I began with today. I genuinely would LOVE to know!! 

Thank you all for stopping by and have a Creative and Crafty Week!! 

Crafting Journal with RRR

 

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all! Today's project is a journal I decorated for Really Reasonable Ribbon and for The Robins Nest Creative , and I love how it turned out. I hope you enjoy my post for today using the Gorgeous Swiss Dots Satin Ribbon.

For my project I chose to decorate a journal my dear hubby gave me , and I used the darling design papers from echo park, ribbon is the gorgeous ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon, its the Satin Swiss Dots and all the dew drops are from The Robins Nest Creative. I also covered the pen that came with the journal, and used the sticker machine to run my coordinating dp through. I then added a little glue to keep it closed. Love how this turned out. Normally I would have added a layered piece to the top of my journal, but didn't want to cover up this darling paper.

Thank you so very much for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

Christmas Sweets & Ribbon Treats

Hi, friends!  It's Karen here today.  Are you ready for Christmas?  I'm most definitely not.  Luckily, our family isn't actually visiting until the day after Christmas, so I do get a little extra time to prepare.  In the meantime, I'm having a lot of fun creating Christmas cards and projects and picking up gifts and stocking stuffers.  Today I'm sharing a cute Christmas mitten filled with lots of sweet treats.  Really Reasonable Ribbon made it easy.

Oh my!  Where do I start?  I used a die-cut from PTI to cut that treat bag.  The base (back) is cut from cardboard and the front is cut from kraft tissue paper.  I machine stitched the edges to create the pocket where I could slip in goodies.  I added some peppermint sticks, candies, etc.  I ran some pretty Crochet Lace and some Red & White Gingham Ribbon across the lower part of the treat bag.

Each trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon that I added just made it cuter and cuter.  At the top of the mitten, I added some Black & White Bold Check Ribbon, some more of the pretty Crochet Lace and a piece of White Pom Pom Ribbon.  I also tucked in a few Milk White Double Head Stamens underneath the holly berries and ivy that were cut from wool felt.  I hung the mini kraft tag (JOY) from a Rusty Pear- Shaped Clip from the Embellishments section.  These adorable Pins are currently sold out.  But, for anyone (US only) who places an order at RRR this week and lets me know, I'll send you one dozen of these cuties.

I added a Flatback White Pearl to the tiny snowflake.  I also made another cute Santa cinnamon stick and it's hung with a length of Red Satin Ribbon.  I realize there's a lot going on with this project.  If you have any questions, just let me know.  There's always lots of great inspiration here on the RRR Blog and lots of great shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Thanks so much for visiting today, and please stop by again soon.

Blessings,

Karen

Easter Bunny Treat Bags

 Hello everyone and Happy Monday to you all! Cheryl here today with these darling Bunny Treat bags I designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the beautiful satin ribbons from the RRR Shop. These are so much fun to make, and if you are looking for a super fun and easy project, this is it!

So I pulled these bags from my stash, as I bought them several years back from American Crafts. I have always loved making these for little fun gifts to give with candy inside. These were done up using these darling bunny dies, that I colored with Copics, and added little white dots. I was gonna add some glitter to the bows on the bunny, but then decided not to at the last minute.  The ribbon bows were made using the gorgeous Ribbons from RRR and I will list them below.

I did use some other dies from my collection as well. I also used old buttons, and some half backed pearls. The white border is a Martha Stewart punch.

Really Reasonable Ribbon supplies used:

• Satin Ribbon Blue and Pink pearl
• Delicate Stitched Light Orchid
• Scotch advanced tape refill
• foam tabs
• Brown Ric Rac

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a lovely week.

Mini Album Flip Page One

Hello everyone!  Hope you all had a Happy 4th of July. Today I have a mini album page I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the beautiful ribbons and embellishments that Bonnie carries in the Really Reasonable Ribbon shop. 

This is one of the many pages I will be creating for an album I'm currently working on. So for this page I used ReallyReasonable Ribbon's Delicate Stitched Satin, and Double-faced Satin Ribbons. I also used the darling bronze leaves and little white flowers for embellishments on my flip page

The papers are from Graphic45 and I used dies from Cheery Lynn to create my edges. I also ran Really Reasonable Ribbon through the one die cut edge, first time using this die and love the look with ribbon . I figured I would work on each page at a time and then will add them to the album when I’m done. Every page was put together using scor tape and scotch advanced refills from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

The little pocket on the front was cut using a CC die and the little tag was cut from the Graphic45 design paper page. I also added sewing to all my layers.

 Inside of page there is room for photos and places to journal.

Hope you enjoyed my post for today and thank you for stopping by!

Hugs to all

Gingerbread Christmas Greeting Card

Hey Peeps! I'm back with another Christmas in July greeting card. This is such a cutee card. I love the festive little gingerbread cookie man.

I'm using the Vertical Stripes on Red Satin to coordinate with the candy cane. There's also Red Cherry Blossom Flowers and large red buttons and pearls to create detail.

A little tinsel and a vintage button are last but not least to complete this fun card.

Wishing all of you a happy and productive day with lots of time to be creative : ) G

Happy Birthday

For our July Blog Hop, please click HERE or scroll down.

Hello crafty friends and Happy Friday to you all! Today's card is a super fun birthday card created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the beautiful satin ribbon that came in last month's Ocean Breeze Assortment. I love the colors in this club assortment and customers with addresses in the USA can still grab it through the end of July!

 I made my big bow using the satin, and love how it turned out. Easy when you use the beautiful and nice ribbons that Bonnie carries over at the Really Reasonable Ribbon shop. I also used the foam tabs that can be found here.

The flowers were made using dies and coordinating design paper. I did use the Glass flower technique that I do on a lot of my flowers. I love how these look in person. Not like paper :) heheheh For the centers I chose to use some of my beads from my collection. I have hundreds of these that I ended up with from my moms best friend.

The stamp is from The Project Bin, and it is super cute. I did the stamping with the Mini Misti tool. Love that tool for stamping. I have to say you never get a bad stamped image using this - what a life saver .

The design paper is from American Crafts, and I added sewing to complete my card for today.

I hope you enjoyed my post for today! Thank you for stopping by!
hugs to all!

Cherry Blossom Card

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to all! Today's card is a super fun one I made using the beautiful Satin Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the Gorgeous Pearl Embellishments. I have to say that I think I'm addicted to these fun beautiful little half backed pearls, they make for beautiful flowers and embellishment for anything on your card.

The ribbon is gorgeous and makes for an easy bow for today's card. I chose to use a Cherry Blossom kit for the design paper and stamps. I also cut out the stamped flowers and added the Really Reasonable Ribbon Pearl Embellishments, in 8mm, and love the way they turned out. I also popped them up using Really Reasonable Ribbons Foam Tabs.

My bow was created using Really Reasonable Ribbons White Satin, and my bow consists of 4 loops on each side, with a large pearl in the center. I also save the wires from the flowers that I get from RRR to tie my bows together. Love recycling these.

I hope you enjoy my card today, as I surely enjoyed creating this one. I always love when cards come together super easy, and this one did just that :)

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,
Cheryl

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
Cheryl
