Christmas Greetings

Hello everyone and Happy Friday to you all! Today I have a sweet Christmas card I designed using Really Reasonable Ribbon's beautiful supplies! I absolutely LOVE Christmas time and decorating for the season, and I also LOVE making Christmas cards as they are so fun to design.

On my card here I used some old Christmas paper I had in my stash, and then layered it with brown and pink card stock, and sewing for embellishing. I used RRR Scotch tape refills to put my layers together and then added sewing on each layer.The foam squares I used to give it a 3-D effect. Then I added my Christmas tree and snowman from My Makers Movement which are stamps and matching dies, love them too!  Lastly I embellished with Really Reasonable Ribbon, flowers, stamens, and heart gem and of course beautiful ribbon! Love how this card turned out! 

Really Reasonable Ribbon supplies used:

Rose Buds

Trellis roses

Carnations

Heart gem

Stamen's 

Ribbon from November kit

scotch tape refill

foam squares

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

Hugs,

Love You a Bushel Layout

Hello Ribbon Lovers!  

I am sharing my recent scrapbook layout using gorgeous ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I used one of my favorite ribbons, the Sheer Iridescent Champagne Ribbon to make a bow.  Then I applied Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to antique the gorgeous Trellis Rose.  Once dried I added Stickles to add more glimmer.

The ribbon and flower added a soft delicate touch to this layout.  

Wishing you a creative day.  

Vintage Floral Doll

Good Day All,

Deborah here today showing you a tag I created using a few ribbons from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store.   I used Cotton Blend Vintage Pink Floral , two different seam binding colors Vivid Pink & Moss, one of the pink ribbons from the Diamond Satin Assortment Pretty Pink, and Arianna Natural Crochet Lace.  I also used Wild Orchid Craft Trellis Roses Mixed Pink Tones. 

Well here is the 1st step I did - I took my Julie Nutting Stamp using tuxedo black Momento ink and stamped it on the Cotton Blend Vintage Pink Floral. Then I fussy cut the dress out from the ribbon.

Here is a close up of the JN Doll with the Cotton Blend Vintage Pink Floral. 

I glued it down to the JN Doll, added some tiny pearls to the dress and to the doll's 

neckline for a necklace and colored the bottom of the dress, and used glossy accents

on the hairband and the bottom of the dress. 

Here is the tag. I really had fun creating this tag and using so many assorted ribbons 

from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store. I also created a little tag on the very bottom 

using one of the pink ribbons from the Diamond Satin Assortment Pretty Pink. I used a brad 

to attach it to the small tag and I created the little envelope for it to fit into so it pulls out. 

I used the Arianna Natural Crochet Lace at the top of tag and layered it up at the bottom.

The seam binding Vivid Pink & Moss are tied together at the very top, I really like how 

the pink and moss look together, it's just so pretty. 

Here is a close up of the beautiful Trellis Roses I used.  I just love these roses. 

Aren't they just stunning, especially used with the Arianna Lace. I created the rosettes 

first using a needle and thread, then glued my roses on top of them. I thought it

was a great addition to the vintage look I was going for using the Graphic 45 paper. 

 Here are two more flower rosettes using the beautiful Arianna lace rosettes I created.

And I glued the roses on top of the rosettes.  You can also see how doubled the lace up

on the bottom, below the roses. 

I thank you all for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to give the stamping technique a try using the Cotton Blend Ribbons. Also try using that beautiful Arianna Lace to make rosettes which is another lovely way to enhance your projects. You can find all the items at Really Reasonable Ribbons.

Wishing you all great day, 

Hugs,

Sending a Warm Thank You

Hi all,

I hope you all are having a good week so far. Thank you all for joining us during our Blog Hop on Friday. Hope you all were inspired and decided to get some of that gorgeous Patriotic Ribbon Collection.

Well today I bring you a card made with the Pink Sheer with Satin Center Ribbon, but this beautiful ribbon also comes in an Assortment package -   Pastel Sheer w/Satin Center Assortment. Another super gorgeous ribbon assortment I must say.

This pink ribbon shines beautifully just like glitter. I also used Wild Orchid Crafts - Sweetheart Blossoms 2-Tone Baby Pink with the 35mm Trellis Roses mixed pink tones.

Here is a closeup of the Pink Sheer with Satin Center Ribbon.

Isn't that Sheer so pretty with a satin center, it's so shiny!! 

I can't wait to try the other colors that come in this assortment package.

This reminds me of a small bouquet of flowers. 

I like how the pretty pink bow and flowers stand out

 from the card stock I used, it adds a nice touch of elegance. 

If you like everything I used please click on the links or click here - Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thank you all for stopping by today and hope you were inspired to give this beautiful  Pink Sheer w/Satin Center Ribbon a try or the Pastel Sheer w/Satin Center Assortment it is simply gorgeous.

Vintage Floral ATC's

Hi all,

It's Deborah here today with my very first post here on Really Reasonable Ribbon. Yea! I am so happy to belong to such a wonderful group of ladies and I look forward to sharing my creations with you all.

I am so happy to be sharing a few ATC's (Artist Trading Cards are 2 1/2 by 3 1/2). I made from using a few of the fabulous ribbons from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store.

For the base of each ATC I used a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 cardboard, then adhered the 2 1/2 inch Cotton Blend Print Ribbon to the cardboard with score tape.
*** I did a splash of white paint on top of the Cotton Blend Print Ribbon and the edges.

This one I used the Vintage Pink Floral ribbon for 

the background & leaves I just placed around

the ATC and added my flowers. 

The lace is adhered with glue and I added small pearls. 

 For this one I used the Vintage Garden

Cotton Blend Ribbon. I used a bit of 

white paint on the background over 

the ribbon and added the pretty Rose, 

which I painted and spritzed with pearl spray.  

 Adhered the beautiful Arianna Crochet Lace.

The last one I used Vintage Garden, so pretty I 

just love these Cotton Blend Printed Ribbons. 

Added the Arianna Crochet Lace, which I folded

 the edge of the lace behind the ATC.

To finish it off I added the cute little 

Sweetheart Blooms at the bottom. 

Here is a picture of all three. If you would like

to see close up pictures you are welcome to visit my blog.

Vintage Garden              Vintage Pink Floral

Keep Moving Forward

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  I have an inspirational card to share with you today. Daily life is filled with obstacles and challenges both great and small.  But if we will just keep moving forward, we will achieve our goals.  The climb is often steep, but the view from the top is mighty sweet!  With this in mind, I created a layered get well card for a friend who is facing some tough hills to climb.  I used Graphic 45's World Fair collection and fabby ribbons, of course, because no project is complete without ribbon!

 I love the punchy colors of this collection, and was thrilled to find goodies in the RRR store that matched so well.  These gorgeous yellow trellis roses were lightly sponged with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink and then clustered with frilly Cosmos Daisies and some sparkly gold spiral stamens.

Sometimes, burlap string is the perfect ribbon choice!  These flower clusters were so bodacious, I didn't want to try to compete with them.  But the card needed some sort of ribbon element to tie things together.  (Groan..what a terrible pun!)  I selected navy, antique gold, and orange burlap string as a complement to these fancy flowers.  I tied the bow on my Zutter Bow-it-All and then used the tip of my scissors to tuck the bow in under the floral cluster.

I did the same thing on the fold of the card, and I love the way this simple string bow anchors those flowers to the card.

The inside of the card is loaded with fun surprises.

This pocket has lots of goodies tucked inside.  I added dimension to my fussy cut hot air balloons by layering them with foam pads. And a touch of natural burlap string makes that chipboard button stand out in the crowd.

I threaded my vintage buttons with yellow burlap string, just for fun!

And speaking of moving forward, it's time for me to do just that!  I hope you were inspired with today's post!

Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,

Bewitching Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!

Have any of you had a chance to play with the Rare Oddities collection from Graphic 45 yet?  I stole a few moments the other day, and found some bewitching Really Reasonable Ribbon and trims to go with this spook-tacular collection.  I waved my magic wand, and the next thing I knew there was a frightfully fabulous shaker card sitting on my desk.  (If only it worked that way, Ribbon Lovers....if only!)

I love the beautiful prints in this collection and really wanted to pull out the purple and gold hues.  Naturally, I called upon ribbon to do all the heavy lifting for me. This Plum Diamond Satin Ribbon looks fantastic with these papers, doesn't it? I super love the way the diamond pattern in the ribbon complements the plaid background paper.

I created my layered bow with my Zutter Bow-it-All Tool.  The bottom layer has 3 loops and the top one has 2.  I pulled all the loops out and "fluffed" them to make it look really poufy.  This ribbon is easy to work with, has a nice finish and ties boo-tiful bows!

After cutting a 3" piece of Old Gold Shimmer Satin Ribbon, I cut fishtails on each end.  It was folded in half, touched with a spot of hot glue to hold the fold and then glued on top of that luscious Plum ribbon.   this was topped with a loopy gold metallic string bow.  The finishing touch was adding that gorgeous Earth Tone Trellis Rose.   I have totally fallen in love with these beauties, and they come in a ton of colors!

While digging through my stash of embellies, I stumbled upon these cool paisley ribbon slides.  I added more of that sparkly Old Gold Shimmer Satin Ribbon and glued them on either side of my chipboard sentiment.

The fun thing about a shaker card is that it's like getting a party in a card, and both the inside and the outside are fun to look at.  I have to say....this bewitching ribbon and paper combo makes this Ribbon Lover happy, happy happy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

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!

On this page I used the Edna Lace, Brown Crocheted Lace, Pink Pearl strand, Moss Green Leaves trim, Pink Silk, and then the Sweetheart Flowers. For the page below I used the same Silk and Edna Lace.

Here is another page using the beautiful Pink Silk, White Sweetheart Blossom Flowers and Moss Green Leaves Trim. The doily is a CottageCutz die.

Love this next page as it's pretty simple and will hold a photo of my 3 kids together. Again I used the Edna Lace, Brown Crocheted Lace, Moss Green Leaves and Sweetheart Blossom Flowers on this page as well. I love all the laces that Bonnie carries and used them throughout this entire album.
