Christmas Cheer Card with Really Reasonable Ribbon

For our December Blog Hop, click HERE or scroll down.

Hello there Paper Peeps! Ginny here and by now you may have guessed that I am on a black and white theme for Christmas this year....so classic!!! I'm sharing a card I created with fabulous Really Reasonable Ribbons and pretty paper patterns from Canvas Corp.

 

I super love to layer the Burlap and Black Plaid Ribbon! And it coordinated with the paper perfectly!

 

Painted Jingle bell on a sweet little poofy bow.

 I layered a glittery snowflake between the papers. 

Can I admit now that tiny clothespins are an obsession for me???? These are white to match the snowflake and brighten up the card.

Okay that's all for me.Wishing you all a happy and productive day with lots of time to be creative : )

Wrap It Up - Dana Joy Style

Hey Really Reasonable Ribbon Fans.  It's Dana here with you today!  I'm wrapping things up for Christmas and up to my elbows in ribbon.  And what does every package need?  A really pretty bow!

 

I love how my big white bow came out.  I wanted to have a little contrast between the ribbon that wrapped around the package and the bow itself.  I used the fabulous 1.5" wide Wired Faux Burlap ribbon and colored it with some ink.  Next I used my Bow-It-All to make my triple looped bow out of the same ribbon.  Working with the wired ribbon makes it super easy to adjust your loops and make the perfect bow.  I have four more boxes to wrap so I better get busy.

Now it's your turn to "Wrap It Up Dana Joy Style".  Head on over to the Really Reasonable Ribbon shop and pick up your bow making ribbon today.  If you don't have a Bow-It-All now would be a great time to ask Santa for that "early" Christmas gift.  I think you've been good all year long. ;-)

Hugs and love~

Decorative Bags for Christmas Gift-Giving

Hello, ribbon lovers!  It's Karen Letchworth here today with some fun little gift bags I created for Christmas gift-giving.  In addition to all the gorgeous ribbons and trims, you can find lots of great Decorative Bags at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The bags I used are the Diagonal Striped Bitty Bags (turquoise).

The bag on the left (above) is just laying flat and is stuffed with caramel apple suckers.  There's also a small vellum bag on top of it with a gift card tucked inside.  You'll find LOTS of great mini bags in the Decorative Bags section that are the perfect size for gift cards!

This bag was covered with Christmas patterned papers and chipboard, and then adorned with several lovely ribbons and trims including some Arianna Natural Crochet Lace, a short length of Red Chevron Striped Twill which I cut the edges on an angle.  I topped that with a sweet bow made from Sun Rose Seam Binding, Lipstick Red Seam Binding, and May Arts Natural Burlap String/Jute.

The second decorative bag is decorated with the same exact products as listed above.  The difference with this bag is that I folded it halfway up, and then machine stitched it down creating a second pocket.  I've tucked a gift card in this bag as well, along with some peppermint candy sticks.  By folding the bag up like this, you can create a quick and cute little pocket for gift-giving.  Here's a close-up photo of the bow.

I would love to see you all grab some sweet Decorative Bags and your favorite Really Reasonable Ribbon trims, and then stop by the Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge Blog to link up your Christmas and Holiday Ribbon projects with us.  We love seeing your creative talents at work, and I really hope you will play along.  Have a great week of crafting.

Blessings,

Karen

Easy Vintage Christmas Cards & Tussie Mussie

Hello Friends!!  Heather here and today I would like to share a couple cards with you that I made using some ribbons and trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon!!

So last night I thought...I should try some flat cards...you know...easy ones to put in an envelope and actually mail....lol.  I thought I would try clean and simple again...this could be close..not really sure.

 I used a focal from my Traditional Christmas Collage sheet as well as the Merry Christmas sentiment on the Card above.  I used  Scor Tape to hold my pieces to the background paper.  I used glue to hold down the Rosemary Crochet Lace and Red Micro Gingham.  I just tied a simple knot to create the bow.

On the card below I used the same Scor Tape but this time I used the Red Plaid Ribbon to create my bow.  

I used my Noel Tag and Present Tag set.  Candy Cane and Christmas Tree from my Traditional Mitten Set.  The Little Victorian Christmas girl and Spring Green Tag Bases.

I also have a quick and easy Christmas Tussie Mussie that I would like to share.  I just cut it out, put a piece of Scor Tape on the flap and Curled it into shape.

I used the Pink Diagonal Ribbon and Natural 1/4 inch lace.

I used my  Bow it All tool to make the two triple loop bows on the sides.

Thank you for visiting us at
Really Reasonable Ribbon today!!
Hugs!!

Makin' a List and Checkin' it Twice

I am a huge list maker and it keeps me on track with all the things I do in my busy life, so today I created two projects to make those lists more jolly for you to use and a fun way to do a Christmas countdown for your family.  It's really small and portable too!!

For these two projects, I used lots of pretty satin ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The red and green on the countdown pad project is called Checkerboard Satin and the green is Metallic Edged Satin.  And the Santa Claus pad cover uses Pink Satin/Grosgrain Ribbon,  Metallic Silver String, and a pink button to tie it all together.  The paper is from Bo Bunny and I used the 12 x12 printed piece to cut a 4 inch wide cover for it.  I used a snowflake from my stash and lined the inside with the matching pink on the other side of the paper so it was really quick and easy. The top notepad holder is made with Teresa Collins papers and tags.  It was quick and easy and they would be great to make for gifts too.

Since I am trying to use up some of the things I have in my stash, I had this set of countdown tags from MME and matching papers so I created a Countdown close pin that I could change the tags for each day until Christmas.  I love it!!  This would be a really fun project for the kids to help you with and it really doesn't take much time at all.  The pretty ribbon that I used for this came from the new Winter Wonderland Mix Ribbon Club Assortment for this month.  It has skads of beautiful ribbons in it and I have lots of other fun things to share this month that I did with it too.  My other favorite ribbon is the Holiday checked ribbon on the countdown project.  I picked up all the colors in the paper and the pretty star that I used for the top with the snowflake on it.

Well that's it from me today so get those lists made and have fun shopping :)
