Remember This Patriotic Wall Hanging with the May Ribbon Club Assortment

Hello there and happy Wednesday to all you fine crafty friends!  Time to share my first project created with the May Ribbon Club Assortment.

Of course I love this collection....it's super patriotic!

I kinda went all out holiday for this festive wall hanging.  Finding papers and embellies to coordinate with the ribbon was so much fun and gets me in the mood for summer.

A mix of purchased and handmade flowers really fill in this corner.

The bows are layered with the patterns from the assortment and are topped with a loopy twine bow and brad. There's a fancy little frame of finished chipboard peeking out and very dimensional star picks for extra fun.

A tiny white die cut doily helps to break up the busy patterns and a very vintagy epoxy sticker has more stars and stripes!

Paper Doll die cuts are super sweet when layered over this oh so patriotic house image. Last but not least a length of lace with vintage buttons.

Thank You

Welcome by today, everyone, and thanks for stopping by as I (Karen Letchworth) share a card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon showcasing just a few of their MANY lovely trims and embellishments.  This card was put together with several different pieces of patterned paper that I attached using a fabulous Adhesive called Scor-Tape.  It secures your cards together so that they will stand the test of time when their recipients receive them.  I know my Mom likes to display hers, and another friend of mine cuts off the fronts and uses them as bookmarks; so I like using an Adhesive that I absolutely KNOW won't start falling apart like cards tend to do when you don't use a quality Adhesive.  Just sayin'....Really Reasonable Ribbon carries several fabulous Adhesives (for various projects) that will hold your cards and mini albums together so that they'll last....and last, and last.

Once I had my card base together, I did a bit of machine stitching on it....just for fun.  I added a small journalling card with a rub-on sentiment (thank you), and I also added a flower that I die-cut from several sheets of inked vintage dress pattern, and I placed a vintage button in the center of the flower.  I tucked several sweet Double Head Stamens under my flower including some Baby Blue Double Head Stamens, White Double Head Stamens, and Silver Double Head Stamens.

Then, at the bottom of my card, I ran a length of Solid Natural Baker's Twine that I knotted and tied into a bow.  I topped that with a 35mm White & Green Mulberry Leave, one 15mm Ivory Open End Rose, and two 15mm Royal Blue Open End Roses (which, in my personal opinion are a bit more navy than they are royal, but.....that's just my opinion.  They do match my navy papers nicely, so they work for me.  I honestly think they pull from the colors around them.)  One thing is FOR SURE....Really Reasonable Ribbon has all the perfect ribbons, trims, Mulberry Flowers, Adhesives and Embellishments (plus SO much more) to match ALL your projects.  I hope you will check out the Really Reasonable Ribbon Shop and treat yourself today!

Vintage Inspired Jewelry Holder

Do you love and collect vintage jewelry as much as I do?  I created this fun and easy jewelry holder out of spools of old crochet thread, using some beautiful ribbon and embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I stacked the crochet thread on an old spool glued to a metal jello mold.  Then, I wrapped the bottom thread ball using the Silky Crush Champagne Ribbon., slipping on Rhinestone Buckle Ribbon Slider before tying the bow.

 Next, I added the Vintage Flower Charms to the top crocheted thread.

Now, start filling your crochet balls with your vintage treasures!

Saddle Up! Masculine All Occasion Card

Hello, Friends!  Have you been enjoying the March Ribbon Club Assortment as much as I have?  I love that the Blue and Brown Assortment of ribbons is so versatile.  Today, I'm using one of the Tan Select Swiss Dots Grosgrain w/Turftan Brown Dots on this masculine "Saddle Up!" card.

Using ribbon on a masculine card can be challenging, but this Tan Grosgrain Ribbon is the perfect accent!  I used my Zutter Bow-it-All Tool to tie that stylish double loop bow beside the focal image.  Then I topped it with some Natural Burlap String.

I also attached a length of this same ribbon along the top edge of both banner flags, then topped it with a vintage button.  It's easy to attach ribbon with Scor-Tape, and it adds lovely texture to any project.

Here's a peek at the inside of the card.  I added a gift card pocket, then tucked in a miniature chocolate treat.  I'm pretty sure that even cowboys love chocolate!

This would be a great card to make Dad...and Father's Day will be here before we know it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

Take Flight Card with Ribbon & Trim

Hi friends! Linsey here today sharing a nice card I made for any occasion. It features a simple design and a fun way to use up some of those shorter strips of ribbon and trim you have stashed away because they are just too pretty to toss. I hope you like it! :)

As you can see, I used two coordinating pieces of patterned paper and divided them with a strip of Delicate Stitched Satin Black ribbon. Then I layered a piece of patterned vellum over the top portion of the pink gingham paper and divided the two with a strip of May Arts Crochet Lace. This is a really easy and fast way to make a unique card base in which to build on. I stamped the sentiment as close to center-middle as possible, then completed the card with 3 miniature felt butterflies fluttering around and a few sparkly sequins and enamel dots.

Thank you for stopping by and letting me share my card inspiration with you today! Until next time, happy crafting! 

Happy Hellos Card

Hello crafty friends and Happy Friday to you all!
Today's Sweet Happy Hellos Kitty card was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the beautiful Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon along with the beautiful flowers that RRR carries. Love all the different flowers mixed on my card for today. I had fun creating this sweet kitty card with the 3 layers and the bows.

On my card I chose to use the sweetheart blossoms, mini sweetheart blossoms, rose bud in pink, and the carnation flower. I love the mix of colors.  Sometimes it's hard to choose which ones to use, but this time I just went for it....heheehe

The bows were made using the Light Coral Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon and then I also used the 3-D foam squares, and Scotch Refill ATG tape to put my card and layers together.

The dies are all from Cheery Lynn, and I love using these!
The stamp is SU!, it's a oldie but goody.....hehehee

And lastly I added some sewing to each layer.

A Perfect Day Shaker Tag Magnet

Hello there friends and happy Thursday to all of you! Today I'm not sharing a card. No really. I actually made a magnet. Well I didn't make the magnet...I just glued stuff to it. And by stuff I mean a lot of stuff...and a shaker.

Isn't this the sweetest collection? It's Miss Betty and I love it so much! Also the inside is a shaker so that's more funner.

 I added some pretty vintagy lace to the bottom of the tag for an extra grandma chic touch.

The perfect chevron bow to coordinate with the die cut flowers.

The back has a magnet so this sweet little tag can be used on the fridge to hang up the coupons and school pics and other important necessities.
