Oh My Heart~Bow!

 Hi, Y'all! Misty here with you today! 

 ( @Mommyofkidz on Instagram) 

This is my VERY FIRST post for RRR this year and I am so excited!  It brings me real joy to be on the team again! Bonnie is amazing and ribbon is one of my addictions!

Today I want to share a cute little bow that I made using a plethora of GORGEOUS ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  With Valentine's Day coming soon, I decided to move out of the Christmas mode and break out the  Hearts and Flowers!! 

{{Insert Heart Eyes!}}

When I decide to make a bow, I always start with a ribbon that is an inch and a half wide for the base.  For this one I used Grosgrain White  to provide the background for all the reds to POP! There are tons of red ribbons in the RRR store.  So many in fact...that it was a little bit hard for a girl to decide which ones to use! Rather than fighting with myself, I decided to choose one of the pre-made assortments to create with.  They already match and look amazing together!

 I chose the Sweetheart Assortment to create some of the layers on this beauty.

I also added in some other elements such as some white Flat back Pearls, white flat back pearl hearts, and Cherry Baker's twine.

!!!OH MY HEART!!!

I am so in LOVE with how this turned out! val

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite days of the year. 

Actually, I really just love all the HEARTS that start popping out in every corner of every store everywhere! 

Thanks for stopping by today!!  Go check out all the HEART ribbons that RRR has to choose from to get started on your own Valentine's Day projects! It will be here before you know it!

Little Valentine Candy Jar

Hi friends, Linsey here today sharing my latest craft project using ribbons from RRR! This easy DIY mason jar-turned-candy jar is a cute and fun way to add some sweetness to your everyday! Place in your home, craft or office space--or share with someone special and see how it sweetens their day!

The Mini Hearts on Hot Pink Grosgrain Ribbon is among my favorites in the January Ribbon Club Assortment Sweetheart Mix. 

It's so pretty and sweet, I just 💓 it! I wrapped it around the jar lid and added a bow to either side made with Double-faced Satin Poppy Red and a White Flat Back Pearl in the center of each bow. 

The front is decorated with a fancy paper die cut and stickers a bit of delicate Gabrielle Off-White Crochet Lace. The mason jar is always visually appealing since you can see the sweet treats inside. I had fun decorating my little candy jar and I think it will be a super cute addition to my Valentine decor this year. 

That's all for me today! I hope you enjoyed my project and feel inspired to make something sweet for someone you're sweet on!! Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time, happy crafting!

If Kisses Were Snowflakes Valentine

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Here we are in January and from what I can see on the weather map, snow is flying in many parts of the country.  I was leafing through Authentique's Wintery paper collection looking for a little inspiration, when I found this great sentiment: "If kisses were snowflakes, I'd send you a blizzard."  How perfect for Valentine's Day!

The gorgeous Sweetheart Mix ( January Ribbon Club ) works perfectly with these papers.  I created a belly band by layering Random Hearts and Confetti Dots Grograin over White Crochet lace. This adds great texture and a lovely pop of color to the background layers.

 Have you tried the taffeta ribbons yet?  Oooh-la-la!  It makes such a lovely, crisp bow.  I used the White Taffeta Ribbon from the Sweetheart Mix here.   I had a little snip of the Red Bold Diamond Print Satin ribbon on my work desk and used it to make a couple of little banner flags to go beneath the sentiment.  This doesn't just look pretty, it helps draw the eye to the sentiment panel.

I thought it would be loads of fun to tuck a packet of Cup-a-Soup into the inside pocket.  I practically lived on this stuff way back when I was in my college dorm.  And, the packet is red and white...so it really works for Valentine's Day!

Have you started working on your Valentines yet?  I hope I've shared an idea or two that inspired you!

Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,
