Fun Fall Shaker card with RRR

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all! Today's card was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon and The Robins Nest Creative. Loving the fall colors and working with all fall related items. I will list below what I used and how.

Card base and layers-

• card base is an orange card stock cut at 6" x 12" and scored in the middle to create 6" x 6" card.
• Layer 1-cut my brown 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" , then the rust at 5 1/2" x 5 1/2", and DP is 5 1/4" x 5 1/4"
• Layer 2- is 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" brown, orange is 4 1/2"x 4 1/2" , dp is 4 1/4"x 4 1/4" 
• layer 3- 2 3/4"x 5" brown, then polka dot is 2 1/2" x 4 3/4"
• Layer 4- 2 1/4" x 4 1/2" brown, orange is 2" x 4 1/4", dp is 1 3/4" x 4" then cut the end off
• Layer 5- window shaker, I added lots of The Robins Nest Dew drops in the inside.'
• Inside Layer is done using 3 layers, brown, rust and white. 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" , 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" , 5 1/4" x 5 1/4"

All layers have sewing, dots, and dew drops in the corners. I love how the diamond shaped dew drops look in all corners and give some embellishing to my card layers. I also used dew drops on the window shutters, and top of window. 

Flowers-

• I chose all my flowers from Really Reasonable ribbon, and used several different types. I listed them all below for easy finding. I also added some branches, and dew drops to the floral cluster I made. The gorgeous ribbon is Plaid Ivory , Brown and copper. Love it!

Adopt a Pet Cat and Dog Tags from Scraps

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  The month of February is filled with celebrations.  There's Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day, President's Day...and  National Adopt a Pet Weekend!  I've created a pair of sweet little tags to honor pet adoption, and I thought I would  share them with you here.

 

These little art tags were made with bits and pieces I had left over after making some pet themed mini albums with Authentique's Devoted paper collection. Instead of clogging up my drawers with scraps, I've developed the habit of using them to make quick cards.  When the pieces are too small to use even on a card, tags are the answer!

For this sweet little kitty cat tag, I framed the image with a shabby chic bow tied from Light Blue Micro Gingham.  It's the perfect width for smaller projects like this 2.5" x 5" tag.   I ran a double strand of the ribbon through the top of the tag, then tied it with hemp string.  

Another great way to use up scraps is to cut banner flags and small doilies that can be used as layering elements on cards and tags.  I've added 5/8" brown plaid ribbon and natural burlap string to this sweet "Who Rescued Who" tag. 

I hope I've shared some tips with you here that you'll find useful!

Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,
kathy
