Stamperia Baby Girl Shaker Card

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Today I have a pretty in pink Baby Girl Shaker card to share with you

Pearl Pink Satin Swiss Dots Ribbon looks fabulous with this vintage style shaker card.  I tied my double loop bow with a little help from my Zutter Bow it All Tool, then topped the ribbon with Ivory Burlap String and a posy. Ivory Burlap String.

The ribbon does double duty inside the card, serving as a closure for the little accordion folio.

Swiss Dot Satin comes in wide range of colors and widths, so chances are good you can find just the right shade to go with whatever collection you are working with.  You can never have too much ribbon!

Thanks for stopping by!

Baby Shower Treats using Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday to you all!
Today I'm sharing these darling little White Chocolate Reese's covered treats I made for Really Reasonable Ribbon & a  Baby Shower I'm hosting on next Saturday. I used this DARLING Ribbon Spool to make 35 bows, it's so sweet! I had a lot of fun creating these, hope you enjoy today's post!

So for these sweeties, I pulled some polka brown design paper from my stash, and cut it to size for wrapping around these treats. I used Scor-Tape on the back side, at each end, and then attached to the treat. Next I punched out the scallops and circles and used foam squares to attach each one. For decorating I used stickers, and the darling Baby Hands Ribbon for bows.  I used hot glue to attach the bows. There are 35 of these on this 2 tier serving dish.

Really Reasonable Ribbon-
Baby Hands Blue Grosgrain Ribbon
Scor-Tape 3/8"
Foam Squares 3-D Tabs

Other Supplies-
Polka dot brown design paper
Polka Dot blue design paper
Alphabet Stickers, and baby boy stickers
SU! Punches for the circle and scallop
Distress ink in brown
Hot glue to add bows on.

These were super fun to create, and I made a ton of them. YIKES! I hope you enjoyed my post today, as I always enjoy creating and sharing! Thank you for stopping by, and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

Happy First Birthday Card

Hi friends.  Today I have a pretty little First Birthday card to share that I created for a special little girl.  I had fun embellishing with beautiful ribbons and mulberry flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I will admit that I had NO game plan for this card and as is typically the case - I waited until the last minute.  I never mean to do that, but time just gets away from me.  Can anyone relate?  

Luckily the card just seemed to come together by itself.  I love when that happens.

So at times like this when it's last minute, I don't have time for handmade flowers, no matter how much I like to make them.  Really Reasonable Ribbon carries a huge variety of Mulberry Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts for just such occasions, and it's great to have some on hand for when you find yourself needing to put a card together quickly.

My bow was created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using 5/8" Bright Pink Plaid Ribbon and 5/8" Hot Pink Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon.  I also ran a piece of the Delicate Stitched Satin across the center of the card under the sentiment panel and topped that with a piece of 3/8" Mixed Pink Confetti Dot Grosgrain Ribbon. 

For a video tutorial on how to create this beautiful bow, please click HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  For more information on the other materials used in my card, please visit my Make Time to Craft Blog.

Minnie Mouse Diaper Cake

For the RRR July Blog Hop, please click HERE.

Hello everyone,
Cheryl here today to share a diaper cake I made to look like Minnie Mouse's Head. It was created for my daughter who just had her baby (my grandbaby Chloey) and for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the Beautiful Grosgrain 1 1/2" ribbons from the Really Reasonable Ribbon store!

Ribbons used:
Really Reasonable Ribbon-  I used Black Grosgrain Ribbon in 1 1/2" thick to go around the head, and the ears. I did them separate, and then attached the ears to Minnie's Head!  Next for the Big PINK and WHITE polka dot Bow, I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's Circus Dots Grosgrain Ribbon in Bright Pink!

Minnie's Head
I used the smallest diaper(Newborn) parents choice to create Minnie's Head!  There are 20 for each ear and 86  for the head.  I had to buy 3 packs of 42 since they didn't have a large box.
Extras- Hot Glue gun, wire, little rubber bands the black ones you get in the hair care aisle. Large folder file rubber bands.

My daughter LOVES Minnie Mouse and has since she was almost 1. So it was no surprise to her Dad & I when she wanted Minnie Mouse stuff for her little girl! We have so many wonderful things to bring to her in California - can't wait!!! Here is a photo of the gifts we are bringing with us. They too have Really Reasonable Ribbon on them as well....hehehehee.  Told you I LOVE using Ribbons!!!  I used the Black Satin Swiss dots, Black Jute string, Hot Pink Satin - LOTS of it.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!
hugs to all,
Cheryl

Altered Gift Basket and Tag for Baby Girl

Woooo Hoooo! It's the weekend!

Here in the United States we are celebrating Mother's Day tomorrow, so I thought it would be fun to share a little project I made for our neighbor who is expecting her second little girl anytime in the next week.

I started with an old fruit basket that hubby & I found on one of our adventures antiquing.  A coat of acrylic paint, sponging with a few more, then several squirts of different shades of glimmer mist, and I was ready to decorate!

The edges were trimmed with a ruffled crepe paper border topped with Priscilla white crochet lace and  wild rose grosgrain ribbon. the same wild rose grosgrain also formed the bow, when combined with  pink burlap string.  You can see that I also used the grosgrain and burlap string on the tag to continue the theme.

The flower cluster is formed with a pink chrysanthemum, pink aster daisies, and sweetheart blossoms, a mini sweetheart blossom decorates the tag.

The basket is filled with diaper bag sized essentials every new mom will need, and she loved it when I delivered it several days ago! :)

Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms out there! :)

Don't forget our current challenge going on, too!

If you would like more details about this project, feel free to stop by my blog, "Just Coffee Please..."

Baby Card Collection with Ribbons

Hey there, all our ribbon-loving friends.  It's me, Karen, sharing a post today to show you some sweet baby cards I created using lots of great ribbons and trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  It's always nice to have a wide variety of cards on hand; including baby cards.  I thought I'd get ahead of the game by creating a few at one time.

Really Reasonable Ribbon made it easy for me to come up with a few cards that would become cherished memories for these new mothers-to-be, and Really Reasonable Ribbon can help YOU to do the same.  They have all the right ribbons, laces, trims, flowers and more to adorn your next project.

My first baby card was made for a sweet baby girl that was born to a friend of mine from church.  They moved away a few years ago, but she just gave birth to her 12th child, and I knew I couldn't miss sending her a very special card.  I tied some Lemon Baker's Twine around the horse's neck and topped it with a tiny button.  By the way......YES, I said it's her 12th child (and no multiples).

My second card is one for a baby boy.  I used some patterned papers, sticker sentiments, a journalling tag, and then I added a chipboard button that I threaded three times with Silver Metallic Baker's Twine.  I also ran Solid Gray Baker's Twine around the card several times, and tied a nice big bow with it.

And that brings me to my third baby card.  This one is also a baby boy card, and it sure is sweet.  Really Reasonable Ribbon's sweet trims just give the softest touches.......even to BOY cards.  LOL  Ribbons are always OK when it comes to babies.  This card has a sweet chipboard Little Lamb tag that I tied up with a big bow of Grass Green Seam Binding.

At the bottom of the card, you will see a little 3-D spiral with a button in the center, and it's tied with a small length of the sweet Solid Yellow (Lemonwood) Baker's Twine.  Isn't it just the sweetest touch?  Ribbons and trims don't always have to be overwhelming on a card.  They can be also be used as small, soft accents that just step up your card a notch.  I encourage you to check out ALL the fabulous ribbons, seam binding, baker's twine, laces, trims, flowers and more that Really Reasonable Ribbon has waiting for you!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Don't forget about the FUN CHALLENGE we have taking place now on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.  We always love to have you play along.  Have a blessed week!

Bundle of Joy Mini Album

Hey there, ribbon lovers!  It's Karen Letchworth here today sharing a sweet Baby Mini Album I created using LOTS of great ribbons and trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  My album has eight (8) pages in total, but I'm only sharing the pages here that have ribbons on them.  If you'd like to see the additional pages, you're most welcome to visit my blog, My Cup Runneth Over, to take a quick peek.

The cover of this album is sweetly adorned with Juliet Natural Crochet Lace, some Rose Petal Seam Binding and a nice long length of Ivory Burlap String.  It also has patterned papers, stickers, and a few other goodies to make it look soft and sweet.  Really Reasonable Ribbon has SO many soft, sweet trims for making baby albums.

The second page has a bow made from White Seam Binding which is also just so simple, while still super soft and sweet.  Really Reasonable Ribbon carries 24 gorgeous colors of Seam Binding so that you're sure to find just the perfect color(s) for your next project.  And at just $0.30/yard, it's priced just right so that you can get every color you need without hurting your pocketbook.

Page number three carries on the same soft, sweet theme, and is adorned with Bay Leaf Seam Binding (one of my personal favorites), as well as a length of Burlap Center Stitched Ribbon in Brown that I attached to a tag in a photo pocket.

The next page (page number four) has a sweet little bow made from Soapstone Seam Binding.  This is another really great color because it can look more brown when placed with natural papers and embellishments, and can yet appear a tad bit pink when set next to the pink background.  That made the lovely Soapstone Seam Binding the perfect choice for this page with tan and pink mixed together.

The adjacent page is a very simple photo mat page, and it has the AWESOME Natural Burlap String wrapped around it several times, and holds a tiny little tag.  This is another one of my Really Reasonable Ribbon favorites.

The last three pages don't have any ribbons or trims (BOO!!!), but I have posted them on my blog if you're interested in seeing them.  We're all SO grateful to have you stop by today; and we REALLY hope that you will join our current challenge taking place now.  You can check it out right here on this link for the CURRENT CHALLENGE.

Happy crafting!       -Karen

Baby boy and girl cards..

Happy Monday!  Got lots going on today!  How about you?    I am popping in to share a couple of baby cards made for RRR .   It is always good to have a few premade cards for someone's new addition.  My first uses Pebbles goodies along with plaid ribbon in gray and Blueberry Pie buttons.  My little girl card, naturally more soft and feminine uses Bella Carte goodies along with seam bindings in baby pink and rose.   I also used a bit of 2 1/2 inch cotton blend in natural ribbon.  Always fun to do baby cards and goodies!  Hope you enjoy!  hugs, cherry

Sweet Little Baby of Mine

Hi everyone.  Today I have a pretty baby card to share.  I'll have a new baby niece in July so I thought I'd get the card together ahead of time.  I embellished it with beautiful ribbons and mulberry flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I added a pretty double-layer double-loop bow made with Pearl Pink Delicate Stitched Satin using my Bow-it-All V2.0.  You can view a video tutorial on how I made this bow HERE.

I also added some beautiful Wild Orchid Crafts Mulberry Flowers.  Really Reasonable Ribbon offers a wide variety of mulberry flowers for all your crafting needs.  I used 20mm Open Roses, and 25mm Cottage Roses.  I like to wrap the stem around a needle tool for a fun look.

If you'd like to see what else I created for the new baby, please stop over at my Make Time to Craft Blog and say hi.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

A Baby Milestones Box and Door Hanger

It's Teresa again here today to share the second half of my baby gift ensemble.  I really love this one that I'm sharing today.  It was super fun to make and I hope that my nephew and his wife will have fun filling it up with fun things after their new baby boy comes into their lives.  The pretty ribbons and trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon are the perfect finishing touch.

For this fun project I started with an unfinished wooden box that I found at my local JoAnn's craft store.  It was the perfect size to put lots of these tiny cards and envelopes in so I got this idea to create a baby's first year milestones kind of mini album.  Moms are super busy and I thought that just having these little cards and envelopes to mark down amazing things that happened through the year would be really fun to do.  And you can put bits of memorabilia and photos in the envelopes and on the tags that I put between everything.  Doesn't that sound like a lot of fun and so easy?.

 For the cards, I used tags from the Kaisercraft paper pad that I used when I created this and then got an adorable sticker sheet with fun baby sentiments and decorated each of them up. The little bits of tied ribbon really added that finishing touch that I was looking for on each of them. I also used some of my favorite Spellbinders doily dies and the embossing on them looks so pretty.  I also numbered each of them so that that my nephew and his wife would have lots of places to put the sweet memories for their new baby boy that they are expecting.

I had some papers left over so I decided to make up a baby door hanger for them too that goes with all of it.  I used the same papers and dies that I did for the cards and added some pretty seam binding ribbon and baker's twine bows to make it perfect. I also added a strip of the Burlap Center Stitch Ribbon in brown to tie in all the colors.

That's all for today and I hope that you liked my baby projects.  The frame and card I did are at this link and I would love if you left a comment to let me know what you think.  

Have a fun and crafty day!!  Teresa

Perfect for the New Baby

I love to go to my local craft store to see what is new to make and this week I found a really pretty wooden shadow box to paint up.  I needed a gift for a special new baby so I found some beautiful papers from Kaisercraft that were perfect and started my project.

My favorite part of the frame is actually the new ribbon that RRR just got in and the way that I did the outside.  The ribbon is from the Canvas Color band collection and it has a really pretty stitch running on both sides and a line in the center.  It's really nice and it goes great with my project.  And for the outside I used a stencil and a sponge dauber and simply sponged the white ink on it and let it dry.  I really like the way that it gave it a subtle lace effect and added just the right amount of pizazz to it.

And of course I had to make a mini card to send with it and it has the same papers and some ivory burlap string and a few pretty ivory cherry blossoms to match.

And here is a quick closeup of the ribbon for you to see. The color I picked is called sage.

Thanks so much for dropping over and I hope you got inspired to make a few things
up for the new babies in your life too.  Have a wonderful weekend.

Bundle of Joy

                        Let me start by wishing you a Happy Easter!  By the time this posts I will be getting ready to make Easter dinner.  I may be in the kitchen but I can be in two places at once...kinda!  It is my day here at RRR and this month we are product swapping with Crafty Secrets.  Lots of fun inspiration this month! So excited, make sure to keep checking in with the RRR and Crafty Secrets blog for all the gal's projects.
                          I chose to use these adorabbbbbbbbbbbble Baby girl printable images.   I used almost the whole page....could not stop playing with them.  I started with a chipboard scallop album and went to work adorning it.  Along with the sweet images I used several RRR ribbons including ribbons from this month's ribbon club.  I also used rose petal seam binding, scor-tape adhesive, and buttons from the store.  I added lots of sweet little doodads from my stash.  Doilies, chipboard pieces, pearls, etc.  Just had fun embellishing.  This is perfect for that new mom....great gift for Mother's Day!  Hope you enjoy!    Cherry
