Happy Harvest with Lilybean!

Hello everyone.  Today I'm excited to share this sweet harvest card I made for Really Reasonable Ribbon and My Makers Movement using the darling Home For the Holidays stamp set and Matching Die set.  I absolutely LOVE these! I also used the beautiful ribbons and adhesives from RRR!  

On my card below I used the beautiful ivory brown and copper plaid ribbon to create my bow.

To start with, I chose my design papers.  I have tons of these sheets, so I started with a 6 x 6 card base, then cut the brown in 5 3/4" x 5 3/4", then layered the design paper on that (5 1/2" x 5 1/2") the next layer was done.

The truck was stamped and colored using Copic markers.  I then used the coordinating die to cut it out, and then finished coloring it up, so no white edges showed. I stamped the sweet sentiment on the truck door using my mini misty tool. The pumpkins I did the same.

The greenery was cut using the fall pumpkin die, and cut in a green card stock, then I dusted it using the Tim Holtz peeled paint Distress Ink, and the Judykins duster. The rims, and bumper were colored in a grey metallic marker and then I added glossy accents to them.

Happy Harvest is from the same stamp set and was stamped using vintage photo.

Ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon

and foam squares and tape runner refill as well!

And that sweet face you see, well that is our dear Lilybean (Lily) she is our newest member to the Walker family and is a Persian Kitten, and she is so SWEEET!

Forever Fall Book Box

Temperatures are dropping and Fall is upon us! I just love this time of year! Hello friends! Linsey here today sharing my latest altered project, a lovely book box keepsake to commemorate all the beauty and love this season holds.

The box is covered inside and out with 12x12 papers. The front is decorated with a variety of Fall stickers, chipboard and die cuts. I added a lovely array of flowers to the front as well. They include: WOC Open Roses Orange, WOC Open Roses Deep Ivory, WOC Miniature Sweetheart Blossoms White, and all edges were covered with washi tape. 

The opening holds a pretty tag and features flowing Orange Ribbon from the Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon Autumn Assortment and Theresa White Crochet Lace. The tag is attached with a blue button tied with Burlap String Natural. 

Inside the box is a space for journaling and there are large tags meant for adding photos from the season as well as more journaling areas. More tags could be added or even small mementos to keep inside the box.

I really enjoyed putting this project together. I hope you've enjoyed seeing it! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful day! Until next time, happy crafting!

I don't know about you, but an autumn color palette is one of my most favorite to work with.  Such gorgeous rich colors.  I just love everything about autumn.

This time I made a Thank You card, but it could just as easily work for any occasion by just switching out the sentiment.  I created some paper for the leaf with Distress and Distress Oxide Inks.  They are so much fun to work with. 

My bottom layer is a natural mulberry paper with some leaf inclusions that make it perfect for autumn projects.

For a video tutorial on how I use mulberry paper on my projects, please click HERE.

My card is topped off with a pretty bi-color double-loop bow created on my Bow-it-All Tool using two of the ribbons from the August Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I also used two other ribbons from the assortment across the center of the card under my sentiment.

Seasonal Sunflower Greeting Card

Hi there ribbon lovers.  Bonnie here today sharing a pretty autumn card featuring some pretty ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Be sure to take a peek at out Autumn category to see all the wonderful ribbon selections for the season.

Don't you just LOVE gorgeous autumn colors?  

I sure do!

I specifically created this card to be flat enough for mailing in a regular envelope.  

Yes, you can add ribbon and a bow and still have it be flat enough.

I used my ribbons as a center band under the focal panel and the Burlap String created a bow while still remaining pretty flat.  I'm happy to say that it made it to it's destination in great condition.

My bow was created on my Bow it All V3.0 using two colors of Burlap String.

The August Ribbon Club Assortment is a collection of rich autumn colors and prints.  It contains 9 styles and a total of 17 yards of ribbon and crochet lace.  The September Ribbon Club Assortment is a Halloween themed assortment with 9 styles and a total of 18 yards of ribbon.  Each monthly assortment is a color or holiday themed collection of ribbon.  What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try new ribbon styles.

I kept this card relatively flat for mailing.  You could even eliminate the Thin 3D Foam Tabs under the leaves to make it even flatter.

This is also a perfect way to use up those precious ribbon scraps that you don't want to part with.  I just dove tailed the end of two 5-1/2" pieces of each color of ribbon and even spaced them over the background Distress Ink paper I created.  I then added the leaf squares on top of the ribbon.

I get lots of questions about the 'fuzzy layer' that I use on a lot of my cards.

That layer is Mulberry paper and you can view a video on how I use it and where I get it HERE.

Life's Blessings

 Happy First Monday of Fall my friends!

Cherry here on the RRR blog. I created this sweet country card using my fave Fall Burnt Rust Seam Binding from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  It is the perfect rusty orange.  Works perfect for an Autumn or Halloween card.

 This time of year is the perfect time to reflect and count those blessings.

 I added some special sentiments to the inside as well.  I also added some Juliet natural crochet lace to the outside and inside of the card.

An extra special sentiment to carry the theme through.

Well have a wonderful week everyone and thanks for stopping by the blog!  Cherry

We Make a Great Pear

Hello crafty friends, and Happy Thursday to you all! Today I have a fun and simple card I designed using the  Really Reasonable Ribbon August Autumn Harvest Ribbon Assortment, along with a few embellishments.

On my card I chose to make my a bow using three of the ribbons in Augusts Ribbon Club Assortment. I also used the same ribbons for the banners in the left hand corner. The design papers and stamps I ended up using are all from Club Scraps September Orchard Kit. The flowers I used were already cut, and colored, I just had to put them together for my card.  The centers have a 10mm pearl embellishments. The leaves were already done, so I just had to add them. This made for a fast card, as I didn't end up doing any sewing on this one, kinda shocking....hehehehe.

The sentiment was stamped using black ink, and then I distressed around the oval using an orange and light brown. The pear was stamped 2 times and cut out once.  I colored it using Copic markers.

The yellow layer was just distressed using scissors and ink,

The big bow was made using the Tangerine Taffeta , autumn leaves grosgrain, and green satin, along with a sweet crystal embellishment.

All layers were put together using Scor-Tape and foam squares from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies Used:
White flat back pearls 10mm
Mixed colored rhinestone flower
Scor-Tape
3-D thin foam tabs
Ribbons-Assortment , or Green checkerboard Satin, Random Autumn Leaves Grosgrain , Tangerine Taffeta Ribbon

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

All Hallows' Eve

Happpppppppy Saturday ya'll! Cherry here at the RRR blog. Got a shabby ...ever so slightly Halloweeny card for you.

I found these sweet grapevine style mini pumpkins and thought it would make a cute card.

 I used vintage crochet lace along with Juliet Natural Crochet Lace and 2 1/2 inch cotton blend ribbon  that I ripped into smaller pieces and frayed.

I love the soft burnt oranges and browns in this.

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting the RRR blog, Cherry

Autumn Blessing Decor

Hi, my name is Sheila Rumney and I am so excited to be joining this very talented design team.  Today, I am sharing a vintage inspired Autumn Blessing decor that can easily be created to hang in your home this autumn season.

I combined the beautiful olive ribbon from the Autumn Sheer with Satin Center Assortment and the Jute String Natural.  The Jute String Natural a great size to thread the vintage button used in the project.

I then added some autumn leaves, burlap, a vintage image, pattern paper and adhered it to a vintage Bingo card.  Then I used the cream color ribbon of the Autumn Sheer with Satin Center Assortment  to add a hanger.

I then added some glitter glue to make the image and leaves pop.  

I hope your enjoyed this sweet project and give it a try.

Sheila
