Vintage Tag with Bleached Ribbon and Trim

Hi friends, Linsey here today sharing a cool technique that will change your ribbon and trim in a most unique way! Have you ever tried bleaching your ribbon? It's really easy and fun to see how the bleach will react with your ribbon, creating a one-of-a-kind look! Here's a vintage-style tag I made with bleached ribbon and lace trim that turned out great!

My heritage tag features patterned paper, layered with a piece of Cotton Blend Printed Ribbon, then a photo of my Grandma and Grandpa on their wedding day. A piece of Tobacco Seam Binding was sprayed with bleach to create darker and lighter tones. Some of the bleach puddled a bit to make blotches and a very weathered look. It's just right for vintage, antique and heritage projects alike! A small piece of Ivory Crochet Lace was bleached out, then turquoise ink was sprayed on it. This also created a vintage look and feel that is perfect for my tag. 

I hope you'll give it a try sometime! Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me share my tag and ribbon inspiration with you! Until next time, happy crafting! 

Vintage Romantic Tag

Hello Friends!!

Heather here and today I am excited to be doing a little Guest Designing work for Bonnie here at Really Reasonable Ribbon!!  I hope everyone enjoying springy weather!!  I know I am!!!  Today I would like to share with you a little tag/ornie that I created using some fabby goodies from RRR!

I just love the soft romantic feel to it!  I used some images from Gecko Galz and Optic Illusions to create this darling little piece.

I used my Perfect Mini Layer Rulers to create the pink layers of matting for my image and banner piece.  I used the fabby Tombow Foam Tabs to elevate my focal image and then wrapped a piece of the pink diagonal ribbon and secured it with a bow.  I added a sweet little deep ivory mulberry rose to finish off that side.  Opposite that I used some of the flower images and a sweet baby pink mulberry rose.

Around the edges of my banner I used the 1/4 natural crochet lace (one of my must haves), and then tied off around the top of the banner with another must have champagne organza!  I created a simple bow at the top of my hanger with cream seam binding.  Here is one last look at the finished piece with all my fabby goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon!

Thank you for visiting us today at RRR, and don't forget that we have our Masculine with Ribbon or Trim Challenge going on...so please link up your projects here!!  Enjoy your summer and  I hope you have some time to play with your ribbons and trims!!

Hugs!!

If Friends Were Flowers

Hello to all the Really Reasonable Ribbon friends and fans.  Jenn here!  Love all this great spring weather here in Western Colorado...just glad I am not in the mountains.  Man o man, they are getting hit hard with the snow. Speaking of spring weather, I am LOVING all of the fun floral themed paper crafting projects floating around paper crafting land.  I have a question for all of you, 

What ribbon color do you use most often in the spring?  Answer my question here at RRR and let me know on my personal blog post for a chance to win a RRR mystery prize.  

I gravitate towards bright (sometimes neon) and cheery colors.  A LOT of yellow and bright green!  Love the teal colors too.  Would love to see what everyone else uses too!

On this fun coaster turned tag I used RRR Elastic Double Ruffles Black.  I have used this particular ribbon in past projects and just loved the outcome.  It is such a fun ribbon with the double sided ruffles.  I also used Seam Binding in Purple Nite.  I added a simple orange button to the top of my bow that I tied using the Bow It All.

My Sentiment and flower are both from Crafter's Companion.

Thank so much for joining me today.

Sunshiney Smiles by Jenn Cochran

Hello!  Happy Sunday.  So glad you could join me today.  I have a fun little tag for you.  Don't you just LOVE yellow!  It is so fun and cheery!  My tag is made from a paint chip sample added to a traditional tag.  The two different yellow ribbons I have used really add the finishing touch!   

My bow is tied with Sheer Two Tone Striped Yellow.

The flower is made from Yellow Velvet.  Here is a close up!  I added a yellow flower button.  The RRR velvet is so soft!!!

Sunshine Emma from SP and Company Stamps was the perfect stamp for this fun tag.  

Thanks so much for visiting today.

Bright and Happy Birthday Tag!

Good morning!  Today I am featuring some fun bright colored ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I just LOVE how unique some of Bonnie's ribbons are.  They are so vibrant with fun added touches.  For example, check out the 1/8" diagonal stripe Ribbon in Parrot Green.  It is such a fun summery ribbon.  The diagonal stripe adds so much character to the thin ribbon.  I just want to tie it on everything!!!  I have to add that I adore this image from The Paper Nest Dolls.  His name is Birthday Owen....but I secretly call him Birthday Bean (my son's name)!!!!  LOL!!!

Also, the Neon Orange from the Neon Grosgrain Assortment just gives a huge pop of color.  

I really like how the White 3/8" Ric Rac added that extra touch to my birthday tag.  I made a background with several rows of the diagonal stripe ribbon as a background for the ric rac.  I like how it allowed the ric rac to stand out!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mermaid Hugs, Kisses, & Wishes!

Hey everyone! It's Emily here trying to enjoy this last little bit of Summer before it slips away! I've been so busy that I have not gotten a chance to take a trip to the beach and soak up the sun, so my husband and I are planning that for our anniversary next month. 

Until then... I will continue to make pretty beachy paper craft projects! 

My daughter loves mermaids, so I made her a fun little tag...

 I had loads of fun with the ribbon on this! In my book, it's better to overload projects with yummy ribbon! There can never be too much ribbon! 

Thanks for stopping by today!
