Wedding Gift Purse Bag

 Welcome back.  I am so excited to share with you the beautiful ribbons and supplies from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the wedding gift box or favor for a wedding or wedding shower that I made today.

I love preparing gift items for weddings, baby showers and birthdays using my gorgeous ribbons, card stock papers, stamps and dies.  It didn't take me much time to make this wedding gift bow.

 I used one of my favorite Mid Ruffle Satin red ribbons (shown below) and 1 1/2" wide Silky Crush White ribbon.  Really Reasonable Ribbon has a nice selection of colors of the Silky Crush ribbon and I love how this ribbon was easy to use to make this bow.  I used the 1" Scor-Tape from Really Reasonable Ribbon to stick the bow onto the front and the ribbon on the handle.  I love using this Scor-Tape for all of my bows and ribbons since it is easy to take the bow off of the tape or arrange the ribbon of the bow and reapply it onto the Scor-Tape that was stuck to the paper.  

I glued a flat back rhinestone pearl button in the center of this bow.  The Wild Orchid roses and berries are sold at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I could not have made this beautiful bow without the Zutter Bow It All bow maker from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Since having the Zutter Bow it All, I have made every bow and now buy this for my friends for Christmas or their birthdays.  They are all using it for making their bows and very happy with this.

Mid Ruffle Satin red ribbon

The 7/8" Mid Ruffle satin ribbon is gorgeous and makes very nice bows.  It comes in six colors. 

Other supplies used:

Red foil card stock

White shimmer card stock

Sue Wilson Design Lace Edge Leaf die

Sue Wilson-Nobel Collection-Ornate Pierced Rectangle

Sue Wilson-Gemini Collection-Dorado

Martha Stewart Punch for the handle

Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

Hello, crafty friends!  I'm sure you've all seen the many clever and creative ways that brides-to-be are using to ask their friends to be in their wedding party.  Today, Karen will share an idea for the bride-to-be to ask her friends to be a bridesmaid using several of the FABULOUS ribbons, trims and goodies found at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Front of Card

Karen used a kraft card, and layered patterned paper to that.  She created her sentiment by running a piece of vellum paper through her printer to include the desired wording.  The bottom edge of the vellum has a decorative border, as does another layer of cardstock.  She ran a piece of Parrot Green Burlap String across the decorative edged border.  At the top of the card, Karen ran a length of Celery Green Plaid Ribbon and created a bow with it as well.  She layered on small bows of the Parrot Green Burlap String and Ivory Burlap String and then added Ivory Open Roses and Parrot Green Open Roses.

Inside of Card

The inside of the card has the same patterned paper, and again the vellum was run through the printer to ask the big question, "Will you be my bridesmaid?"  Again, Karen ran a length of the sweet Parrot Green Burlap String across the top to tie it together with the front of her card.  By purchasing a few simple products at Really Reasonable Ribbon and creating your own cards, you save money AND create something uniquely your own.  We hope you will check out ALL the great ribbons, trims and embellishments at Really Reasonable Ribbon and give it a try for yourself.  Then, come play along in our challenge to show us what you've created.  We always enjoy seeing your sweet creations.

Happy Crafting!

A Valentine Headpiece

Hi Everyone...it's Teresa here today. I have to admit- I love Valentines not only for the candy but also for all the neat things that you can make to give to all those special people in your life.  I think it just makes life more fun to spoil people and give them a reason to smile... so with that in mind today, I am sharing a Valentine headpiece that I made to give to a special daughter, granddaughter or friends little girl and you could even make a cute dress to go with it for her.  Wouldn't that be just the nicest thing to surprise her with.

To make this project you will need a thin wire base to attach the flowers and ribbons to.  I found a piece of wire with clear crystals on it, so I cut a piece and twisted about 3 layers of the wire together and first attached the roses evenly across it.  Then I tied small bits of ribbons, tulle and stamens to fill in all the spaces between the roses.  And to finish it I cut long pieces of the ribbon to hang down the back and this way you can make it bigger if you needed to just in case.  

Here is a list of products that I used to make it:
Cottage Roses, metallic edged satin in red, white swirl organza, red tulle, stamens, white organza ribbon, glue gun and crystal wire in silver. Another neat product is the wild orchid bead craft berry sprays... they would really be cute between the roses too maybe in pink with pink roses?

I hope I have you inspired to make something fun with roses this time and be sure and check the blog all this month for more amazing projects from the rest of the design team.... Have a great day!!

Elegant Wedding Card

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Today I am bringing you another inspiration for you to create something with our November Ribbon Club Assortments. I know we are all in the big Christmas mood already, but how about some clean and simple wedding card?

I designed this card specifically to show off this awesome silver ribbon from our November Ribbon Club Assortment. With minimal stamping and clean background, you can make a trim to say a lot for your card.

Don't you love the cool patterns on the ribbon? This is one of my favorite from this month's assortment. I kept the rest of the color scheme to match the ribbon, with silver and blue. Added a small pearl on the cake image for a finishing touch.
If you haven't done so, make sure to grab this month's ribbon club assortment!

Hope you like today's card! Thanks for joining us today and make sure to check tomorrow for another inspiration! 
Hugs,
Nicole

Decorate your Wedding With Pretty Ribbons!

Hi Everyone!True :D here!

Well...my son and new daughter-in-law's wedding is over. It was beautiful! In part because of all of the pretty Really Reasonable Ribbon I used!Bonnie has so many pretty colors and styles to choose from that it would be impossible to not be able to find what you need for any decor colors!
The ribbons I used in the following projects are:White SatinTeal Satin - currently out of stock...I think I used it all!  ;)Cream SwirlsPlease note that the satin ribbon roses on the flower girl's basket, ring bearer's pillow and the other items are made with white satin ribbon that I colored with Copic markers for the exact color I needed.
I made Kristin a practice/keepsake bouquet since she had a live bouquet for the wedding. I also made Kurt a practice boutonniere. ;)

I wrapped some pretty satin ribbon "french braid" style around a cylindrical vase so she would have a display stand for the bouquet.

It also served as a center piece for the head table at the wedding. I love double duty projects! :)

This is Kurt's practice boutonniere.

Most of the flower girl baskets and ring bearer pillows  I saw in the stores were cheesy and expensive so I made my own!

Here is the before....

Here is the flower girl basket after I worked my magic! ;)

This is my ring bearer pillow. It was super easy to make!

Here is a picture of the unity candle I made. 

I thought it was a nice touch to make a personalized sentiment tag for the front! :)

Here are the guest book and pen. Again decorated with cream swirls and home-made satin ribbon roses.

The reception tables were decorated with my home-made favor boxes featuring Cream Swirls Ribbon.

*Edited*

Maryanne left a comment below that she would like to see a close up of a candy favor. Thanks for asking Maryanne! here you go....

These are the cards I made for the family tables.

This kissing ball was hung in the center of the head table.

I have shared the invitations before but thought I would again since I am posting everything else.

***EDITED***

Here is the video tutorial I promised this morning. Sorry it took me so long...YouTube was causing me issues! ;)

Remember that you can click on the 4 arrows in the bottom right hand corner of the video to view it in full screen. Then hit your "Esc" button to return to normal mode. ;)

I know this was a rather lengthy post so thanks for bearing with me.I would like to send a special shout out to RRR's Bonny Garby...Thanks for all you do my friend!
Big hugs,True ;D

Wedding Week & Favors

Hello everyone.  Cheryl here with some wedding favors and a little card.  I decided to go with some favors as they are sooo much fun to make.  I made a tote bag, decorated a heart shaped tin and made a mini card with Really Reasonable Ribbon, trim and lace!

For all 3 pieces I used  Sheer Looped White Trim for the handles on the totebag.  The ribbon for the bows is satin and there are sooo many Beautiful Satins to choose from here. 

On the little heart shaped tin I used some lace found here.  Bonnie has a lot of beautiful new laces in the store too :) LOVE Them ALL!!!!  I also used satin ribbon and some black polka dot ribbon as well (for around the bottom of tin).  All DOTS can be found HERE :) 

 The black and white ribbon is satin and Bonnie carries sooo many different choices to choose from.  To visit the Satin section click here.

My flowers were made using a SU! punch and then I added black velvet brads to the centers.  The mini card was cut with the Cricut & Tie the Knot cartridge. 

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!Hugs,Cheryl

Really Reasonable Ribbon Wedding Week- Day 1

Hello everyone and welcome to Wedding Week here on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog. Every day this week you are going to be wowed by some amazing Wedding projects. We all have something to share with you and we are hoping that you will share your wedding memories and project ideas with us.

I'm Erika Taylor and I'm thrilled to be starting off this wonderful week with a Bridal Set I created using a bunch of different Really Reasonable Ribbons. The Set includes an invitation, program, place card and favor cone, so lets get started!!!

First off a beautiful invitation using Glimmer Mists, Parisian Anthology papers from Pink Paislee and the most beautiful ribbon. The Sheer Ruffled Edge Fuchsia is beautiful for bows and trim on an elegant invite.

Next, the place card using the same Fuchsia Ruffled ribbon. I love how this ribbon works on papers.

Now onto the program that will let all of those guests know what the order of the special day's events will be. I've again used the Fuchsia Ruffled Ribbon and I've paired it with 1" Satin in Spring Green. I so love the color combination of fuchsia and green together.

Last but not least, that little gift for all of your guests. I've created a favor cone and added a bunch of ribbon to really give it an elegant feel. I think it is my favorite of the bunch and I hope you like it too. I've used both the Fuchsia Ruffle and 1" Spring Green ribbons for this one and added a little extra with a bit of 1/8" ribbon.

Here is another view for you.

So a little grouping for that spring bride to make her special day shine. This was so much fun to create and I hope you've enjoyed your first day of  Wedding Inspiration at Really Reasonable Ribbon. Check back every day for some amazing projects from the rest of the design team. Here is one last look at the bridal set together for you.

Thanks again for stopping by.

Wedding Gift Card Holder

Hello!  It's Saturday and it's also the start of Spring Break for us WooHoo!  I'm looking forward to not having to run around quite so much this week!  I'm also looking forward to going over to the beach for a couple of days!

A friend of mine asked if I could make her a wedding gift card holder, and I whipped this one up in about 20 minutes!  It was super easy.  You can find instructions for how to make these HERE!  To tie the gift card holder closed, I used some GORGEOUS and elegant Ivory Silk.  So beautiful!  Here's a peek at the inside:

I hope you like my quick and easy project today!  Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!!
