Time to flourish Page 2 Mini album

Hello everyone, today I have another fun interactive mini album page I designed using the beautiful ribbons, flowers, and embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon. This is the second page for the album im slowly working on...hehehehe

On this page I chose to use Really Reasonable Ribbons Satin and Delicate Stitched ribbons. I used the Green for the underneath the bow, and then the delicate stitched for the bow. Next I chose the beautiful Moss Green Satin Ribbon and then placed all my flowers and embellishments on. Each flap is magnetic to help keep the pages closed.

on the inside I chose to create a pocket to hold the tag and photos. Love this design paper, its so pretty! I did add sewing to most of the pieces. also added some brads I had.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies used:
Moss Green Satin
Delicate Stitched Ribbon Mineral Ice
Bronze Leaves
white flower embellishments
Rose buds
scotch advanced tape refill
scor-tape in 1/2" and 1" 
Cherry Blossoms mixed red and white

thank you so much for stopping by , hope you have a lovely day!

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

Freshly Picked "Graduation Card"

 Hello everyone, and Happy Saturday to all!!!
Cheryl here today, and I wanted to share my card created for Really Reasonable Ribbon . On my card for today I used beautiful Satin Ribbon & Lovely leaf Trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon! I LOVE how this card turned out for today!

 Love the SWEET floral flowers I created here! I also used Really Reasonable Ribbon Ruby Red Satin ribbon, and Moss Green Leaves. I wanted to add a bow to this, but it was covering up the paper,dies, and all the sweetness of this card, so instead I decided to tuck my bows under the dies :) Hehehe that way it didn't take away from this card.

Card Instructions
Card Measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" - white card stock is cut at 5 1/2" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2"

Next layer in black behind this is the Heart & Frames Dies (Heart shaped one is in black, then the large frame is in white (Cut apart) for the beautiful frame behind.
Flowers- were cut out in a random design paper that I hardly ever use, but I bought for super cheap, so it works for flowers.  It's a cream /blueish color. I then airbrushed each flower(8 of them) with copic RV23 and then dusted with distress ink Fire Brick. Next I added a little button to the centers.
Greenery- was done using Really Reasonable Ribbons Moss Green leaves, and then adding floral die cuts(cut in green card stock) and then distressed those in Shabby shutters distress ink.
Ribbon Loops- Really Reasonable Ribbons Satin Ruby Red ribbon, and created 2 bows, and then turned them into looped ribbon treatments for my card.
Embellished with sewing!

 Inside of my card I used the DCWV Freshly Picked stack, and stamped my sentiments onto it. Super Simple for an easy and quick inside fix.

I hope you enjoyed my post for today! I always love to hear what you think, or what you would like to see!!!

Have a super awesome weekend!

Beach Vacay Layout

Hey there Peeps! It's Ginny here dropping in to share a scrapbook layout. Yes I did say scrapbook. Yes I know it's not a card. I can scrapbook...really....I just usually make cards lol.

This double page layout is created to fit the 8 x 9 inch books.  I had loads of fun mixing and matching the papers and stickers and adding pictures of my boys.

 

The tropical theme of this book lent itself to ribbons with bright summer colors so I chose Crosshatch on Tangerine Satin and  Diagonal Stripe Orange Ribbon.  No room for bulky bows in this book....just nice strips wrapped around the pictures and used as accents. 

These sweet little kiddos are not so little anymore. In fact Jonathan was never really little at all. The poor child was very chubba and on top of it really very bald..and when he did get hair it was so thin and white I had to give him a baby comb over. They are much taller than their mama now...so this was a nice trip down memory lane. And isn't that what scrapbooking is really for ?

Okay that's all for me. Wishing all of you a happy and productive day with lots of time to be creative.

Other supplies used:
Silver mirror card stock
Bazzill Lavender card stock
Crafter's Companion shimmer white gold cardstock paper
Sue Wilson Designs - Rambling Rose embossing folder and Decorative Frame B and Scandinavian Collection-Copenhagen and Sue Wilson Designs-Delicate Garden set

Easter Diary and a Satin Ribbon Flower Tutorial

Welcome back Really Reasonable Ribbon bloggers.  I have a very fun project to share with you.  I am giving each of my grandchildren a decorative notebook, mini album or diary for Easter.  I am having so much fun with the Graphic 45 Classic Collections, Once Upon A Springtime, with fairies and bunnies along with the varieties of gorgeous laces, ribbons and supplies from Really Reasonable Ribbon to make my Easter projects.  Really Reasonable Ribbon has the variety of sizes and colors of ribbon to give your card or project that special WOW! 

  

My granddaughters are into fairies and this nana is also loving fairies now so the Graphic 45 Springtime collection was my choice to use for this Easter present.  The cover of the diary is leather.  Therefore, I used 1" Scor-Tape to stick the paper onto the leather. 

I created a tutorial for you on how to make a variety of lovely flowers out of ribbon using the quality satin ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I tried using florist and other ribbons but found that the variety of stain ribbon from RRR didn't burn and the petals curled very nicely using a candle in a jar.  This flower was made using the gorgeous 5/8" Double Faced Satin White ribbon and 5/8" Double-Face Satin Flash Green.  The bow also was made using the 5/8" Double Face Satin ribbon  with the beautiful Melon seam binding ribbon.  Both bows were made using the Zutter Bow It All bow maker and attached with  Scor-Tape from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  In the past, my bows were not as fancy as they are now using the Zutter Bow It All.  Making bows are so much fun now!!!  The green leaf is the Cheery Lynn Design Ivy strip and the white is Sue Wilson Designs-Lace Edged Leaves.   

 Check out How">http://snp.gd/hbtmec">How to Make Ribbon Flowers by Nancy Hill on Snapguide.

The beautiful cream/ivory Arianna Natural Crochet lace is on the sides and I used 1/2" Scor-Tape to stick the lace on the paper.  This tape is much better than glue for lace and ribbon. 

 The back cover of the diary is the 5/8" Double Faced Satin White ribbon with a 3/8" strip of Graphic 45 paper down the center of the ribbon.   The owl, castle and knight are dies from Tattered Lace's new collection. 

This is the inside of the diary.  I cut out these flowers from the Graphic 45 Springtime collection and used foam tape and glue on the back to give the flowers some dimension.  Again, this knight is a die from the Tattered Lace new collection. 

This page is inside on the second paper of the diary.  This very cute dragon is Freddie from digital Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet.  I loved Sylvia's digital stamps.   I colored Freddie using Copic markers and colored pencils.  I cut this out and used foam tape and glue on the back.  I cut out the flowers in the Graphic 45 Springtime Collection and also used some foam tape and glue to apply it on this page to give these flowers some dimension. 

This is a lot of information but I didn't want you to miss out of how I did this diary in case you are interested doing this.  Yes, it might take some time but I take more time thinking about my next step than doing it. 

I hope you enjoyed this and would love to read your comments.  I love reading your blogs and being inspired from your projects and cards as well as learning so much from you.    There is so many new social media friends and I really enjoy hearing from you so much.  Again, my e-mail is lehill@mtida.net or I answer the questions on my comments on the blog as well.

Now, join the fun and see what our very talented Really Reasonable Ribbon designers and challengers have to share with everyone on the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog as well as our Really Reasonable Ribbon Facebook.

On Your Special Day Card

Hey there Peeps! Just dropping in for a quick post to share a very bright and graphically patterned card with hand colored flowers and embossing.

  For a graphic card...a simple bow and length of ribbon wrapped around is just the ticket. I chose the Shell Print On Coral Ribbon and I think it matches the flowers to perfection!
Okay that's all for me. Wishing you all a happy and productive day with lots of time to be creative : )

Just for You

Welcome to the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog.  Today is my day to show you what I have created for Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I love working with pinks and corals this time of year with the beginning of spring. 

This gorgeous ribbon is the light satin coral with the gorgeous Wild Orchid Craft flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  This absolutely gorgeous ribbon is the 7/8" Double-faced Satin Light Coral.  Since my granddaughters and their friends love lots of bling, glitter and sparkles, I added the rhinestone ribbon slider buckle to the bow and lots of gorgeous pink glitter to the butterfly and coral colored frame. 

 Of course, I couldn't have made this bow especially with the ribbon slider buckle added to the center of the bow without the Zutter Bow-It-All V2 from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I find that I spend less time making my bows and each one comes out looking more professional using the Zutter Bow-It-All bow maker with the Helping Hand pegs. 

Flowers  used for this card:

Wild Orchid Crafts Miniature Gardenia flowers

Wild Orchid Crafts Sweetheart Blossom flowers

Wild Orchid Crafts Magnolias flowers

Dies from Scrapy Land.com:
