Christmas is Coming

It's hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner.  I'm SO unprepared this year.  Last year, I had all my shopping done very early and had a real grasp on it all.  Not so much this year.  I'm behind on everything, and at this point, I kinda don't care.  I just want to enjoy family and not worry about all the shopping, baking and decorating.  Yes, I'm being lazy.  LOL   However, I'm not behind on my crafting.  That's one thing I always have time to do.  And all the wonderful products from Really Reasonable Ribbon help me to get the job done every time.

I used basic white cardstock to stamp everything.  I used stamps from The Greetery including the Ornament Box Top Vertical Rubber Stamp for the frame.  I don't actually own this stamp, so I borrowed it from my BFF, Patti Lyn.  We've been friends for over 55 years now.  She mailed it to me to borrow, and I don't want to return it....LOL.  It's SO cute.  I used the adorable Curio: Attic Ornaments Die and the Pine Dies for the foliage.  The middle ornament is raised up using 3-D Foam Tabs from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Each ornament was tied with a different trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I used a length of Solid Apple Green Baker's Twine, Cotton Candy Baker's Twine and Iridescent String to tie the tops of the ornaments.  I know I say this a lot, but Baker's Twine is AWESOME.  It's just ten cents ($0.10) per yard and it comes it so many great colors - both striped and solid.  I used lots of Scor-Tape to hold everything securely in place.  Scor-Tape is an awesome Adhesive, and it comes in a wide variety of widths to work with every project you can imagine.  Really Reasonable Ribbon carries so may fabulous products.

Be sure to stop by the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog often so that you'll always stay up-to-date on all the special sales and promotions as well as to get loads of amazing inspiration on helpful ways to use Ribbons, Trims, Twines, Laces and more.  You'll always find awesome products at fair prices when you shop at Really Reasonable Ribbon, and you'll LOVE what you purchase because the products are amazing.  Thanks for visiting.

BEAUTIFUL Baker's Twine

In case you haven't noticed yet, I am absolutely OBSESSED with Really Reasonable Ribbon Baker's Twine.  I was just looking at all my collective recent work the other day, and what I saw again and again was a whole LOT of beautiful, bountiful, blessed Baker's Twine in EVERY color you can imagine.  I've always love the traditional striped Baker's Twine; but I am also SO IN LOVE 💓with Solid Baker's Twine.  It's yet another "must have' for me; and I own it in almost every color.  It's BEAUTIFUL and I use it ALL the time.  If you look through my blog, you will see a LOT of Baker's Twine.

OH...and did I mention yet that Baker's Twine is only TEN CENTS ($0.10) per yard?  Oh my!  It's true.  You will receive TEN YARDS of Baker's Twine for just $1.00 at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  AND...there are more than twenty colors from which to choose.  Baker's Twine is like a beautiful rainbow of colors at your fingertips at such a great price, and this amazing trim adds so much pizzazz to your cards and projects.

This first card was created by using some cardstocks for the base, and then I stamped on a piece of white cardstock to create my background.  All the stamps I used on this card are from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps where I'm currently a Guest Designer who is using A LOT of Baker's Twine on her cards.  No joke...I use Baker's Twine on so many of my cards.  I truly LOVE it, and I think you will enjoy this super reasonable ribbon that will work on all your cards, tags, and more.  I wrapped some Cotton Candy Baker's Twine around my card, and I topped that Cotton Candy Baker's Twine bow with a pretty Miniature Sweetheart Blossom.  I didn't have a grey Sweetheart Blossom, so I used an Ivory Sweetheart Blossom and colored it grey using a Copic marker.

I started my second card with a cardstock base and a patterned paper that I machine stitched together.  I just love all that wonderful texture from the felt, cork and Baker's Twine.  I also added a small journaling sticker for my sentiment which was die-cut from the cork.  I wrapped the Aqua Baker's Twine around my card several times and tied it into a pretty bow.  Lovely and SO "really reasonable".  No joke, my friends.  At Really Reasonable Ribbon, you'll find beautiful Baker's Twine, Ribbons and Adhesives, Stamens, Flowers and Embellishments to name a few.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Really Reasonable Ribbon is always here to help inspire you and provide high-quality ribbons, trims and products to help you create wonderful cards and projects.  Be sure to take a peek in the RRR Shop to see what speaks to you.  We're always grateful for your visits.

A Little Love

Hello to all our ribbon-loving friends, and welcome by!  It's Karen Letchworth posting today and sharing a sweet Valentine I made using some lovely products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  They have everything you need to create something extra special for your sweet Valentine.

This card started with an ivory base and some sweet patterned papers.  I used one as a base, and the other two to die-cut and stitch layered hearts.  I also added some tulle netting over the smaller heart to hold in some white sequins.  I attached the hearts together using Scor-Tape which is an amazing long-lasting Adhesive available in several different widths.

I ran a width of GORGEOUS Bay Leaf Seam Binding across my card and also tied a bow with it.  I also added a bow tied with Cotton Candy Baker's Twine, and used that to attach a small hang tag with my sentiment (Love).  I tucked some White Double Head Stamens, Baby Pink Double Head Stamens, and Aqua Green Double Head Stamens behind the bow cluster, and bundled some Ivory Burlap String underneath everything.  Burlap String is AWESOME, comes in 15 lovely colors, and is SUPER affordable at just ten cents per yard.

Be sure to stop here at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog each day to find inspiration, to learn about special promotions, and to take part in our monthly Blog Hops.  There's always something exciting to be found here, and LOTS of great products for you to enjoy in the Really Reasonable Ribbon Shop.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Easter Blessing Card

Hello Friends!!
Heather here and today I would like to share with you an Easter card that I created.  It is hard to believe that this Sunday will be Easter!  It kind of crept up on me this year :0)
I used a bunch of goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon!

I started out by cutting a piece of 8.5 by 11 inch paper in half to create my ivory cardstock base.  I then cut a piece of my floral digital paper to use as my background.  I layers the Edna Lace and then the aqua satin which I topped with  Baby Pink and Blue Mulberry Roses.  Tombow Foam Tabs were used to elevate my pink ticket base with Easter Blessings Focal.  I did the pink tag with layers of  Edna Lace and Celery gingham.  Topped with Pink Mulberry Roses, and  Cotton Candy Baker's Twine as well as light blue leaves and pink twine.  I also used pink lace and  pink twine at the bottom and top of the tag. Here is a close up below.

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and enjoy the rest of your week.
Thank you for visiting us atReally Reasonable Ribbon!

Shabby Chic Perpetual Calendar

Hello Friends!!

Heather here and today I would like to share with you a Perpetual Calendar that I created using Gina's Chipboard and some fabby ribbons and trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I used some digital papers that I designed to cover all of the pieces.  I covered all the insides of the base with paper.  Then glued it together, and then applied paper to the outside. Trim excess paper with an x-acto knife.  I glued Chloe Lace to just the top edges (please refer to photo below).

I used embossing medium and tinsel gold to emboss all the corners and the and edges of the base.

I also embossed the words and base part of the label.  I covered one side of each of the tags with one of my digital papers as you can see below.  Then I trimmed the edges with an x-acto knife.  Then I applied paper to the other side, trimmed them and then inked the edges with Frayed Burlap.  I applied paper to my label top in the same manner, and then the base was embossed.  On the back of the label base I added some Candi Fix it Foam Tabs.

Here is a look at the tags finished below.  I used Juliet Lace, Moss green Leaves, Cotton Candy Baker's Twine,  Deep Ivory Mulberry Roses, and Baby Pink Mulberry Roses,

I added Juliet Lace and Cotton Candy Baker's twine as well as a button with a cotton candy bow to my number pieces.  Martha's yard, Fauna, and Cheeky Pink Glitters were used on the edges of all of my pieces.

Here is a look at it from the side.  I used the Corners which I embossed on both sides of my Calendar base.  The Bow it All tool was used with Pink Salmon Seam Binding to create the double bow on the front.

I have not decided yet on the words that I will be using on the front, so I left it blank for now.

Thank you for visiting Really Reasonable Ribbon today!!

Hugs!!
