The June Ribbon Club Assortment is a pink and turquoise color themed collection of ribbon.  It contains 9 styles and a total of 17 yards of ribbon and crochet lace.  Each monthly assortment is a color or holiday themed collection of ribbon.  What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try new ribbon styles.

I just love this pretty color combo, don't you? 

I love to add some pretty Mulberry Flowers under my sentiment.  Such a quick, easy and inexpensive way to add a real 'wow' to your cards and other crafty projects.  For this card I used pink 15 and 20mm Open Roses below the sentiment.  I simply curled the stems around a needle tool and glued them below the sentiment panel.  My background paper was created with Distress Inks on glossy cardstock.

My card is topped off with a pretty bi-color double-loop bow created on my Bow-it-All Tool using two of the ribbons from the June Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  For more information on the other products used on my card, please visit my Make Time to Craft Blog.  Have a crafty weekend!

Summer Fun Shaker Card with Paper Clip Embellishments

Hello, Friends!  Kathy here with a really sweet summer card. This 6" x 6" shaker/easel card makes me think of fruit salad! Yum!  Bright  Pink Plaid Ribbon is the perfect playmate for these Prima Fruit Paradise papers.  I've topped my double loop bow with some gold metallic string to add just the right amount of shine, and it picks up on the gold in the floral cluster, too.

Do you ever look for ways to use up pretty little ribbon scraps?  Well, here's a fun idea for you.  See that little paper clip embellishment just to the left of the flower cluster?  That was the very last little bit of my Hot Pink Satin with Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon from June's Ribbon Club Assortment.  Here's how to turn that little 2" scrap into a beautiful embellishment on your next card:

• First, find a paperclip.  This one is gold, but you can color match to whatever paper you are using.
• Now cut fish tail banners on each end of the ribbon.  I do this by folding my ribbon in half lengthwise, then snip from the fold to the outer edge.
• Next, thread the ribbon between the legs of the paper clip.  Hold in place with a tiny dot of hot glue.
• Top the ribbon with a little posy or a button, as I did here. 

Easy peasy, affordable and oh, so cute!

Here's a peek at the inside.  There's just enough room to write a little greeting.  This would be such a cheery little birthday card or get well card, and it's pretty enough to put out on display.

I hope I shared some tips and tricks that you can use in your own crafty adventures.  Wishing you a joyful and creative day!

Cheerio,

kathy

A Glorious Fourth

Happy Indepence Day to our BEAUTIFUL country (in just a few days).  What better way to celebrate than with RIBBONS and patriotic accents from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I used a nostalgique/vintage piece of ephemera as my focal point for this card.  It's attached to a piece of patterned paper with strips of Scor-Tape; and I also used the Scor-Tape to attach the navy blue doily die-cut that I slipped underneath the focal image.

I bundled some Ivory Burlap String with some Red Miniature Stamens, Navy Miniature Stamens and Ivory Miniature Stamens and placed that on the doily area.  Next, I tied bow with lengths of 1/2" Navy Winkle Ribbon and 1/2" Red Wrinkle Ribbon and attached those side-by-side atop the bundled items.  The next items I added were some Red Open Roses, Royal Blue Open Roses, Ivory Open Roses, as well as one White Bead Berry Cluster.

Over on the right-hand side of my card, you'll see a cute Red Plaid Covered Button from our Embellishments Section.  Underneath that, I tucked snippets of White Crochet Lace and Navy Micro Gingham.  They're topped with some Mixed Blues Miniature Sweetheart Blossoms.

There are SO many cute accents at Really Reasonable Ribbon in addition to all their amazing ribbons and trims.  I hope you'll stop by to do some shopping to celebrate the 4th of July!

Thanks for visiting,

Shabby Chic Card with Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello everyone, hope you are all doing well! Today I have this sweet card I made using all Really Reasonable Ribbon embellishments, ribbons, lace and flowers. Pink of course is my favorite color, and I absolutely love how this one turned out. This card was given to one of the gals in Doll Club for her birthday this month.

On my card I layered the same design paper with pink card stock. Then I used the darling doll print out piece. I did add sewing to all layers. Next I chose to use the sweet flower embellishments for all the corners on each layer.

Ribbon was done in a bow, then I used the lace and double satin ribbon too. I also added some feathers for fun! Next I chose the carnation, sweetheart blossoms, mini sweetheart blossoms, and rose buds to create this floral arrangement on my card.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies used:
Sweetheart Blossoms Miniature 
Sweetheart Blossoms
Metallic edge satin ribbon
Rose buds
Carnations
Bronze Leaf charms
Gabrielle Off white lace
Foam squares 
Advanced Scotch tape
Pink double ruffled Satin
flower embellishments

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day!
Hugs to all

Enjoy the Little Things Shaker Card

Hey there friends and crafty peeps! Ginny here to share a bit of shaker inspiration.  

I've decided my projects from here on out must have gold cardstock. So shiny!!!!

I've used it here to create the frame for the shaker cut out as well as one of the matting layers. 

Pink and black are one of my favorite classic color combinations and it looks even prettier with that metallic sparkle.

These flowers are all ready made but I gave them a face lift simply by switching out the stamens for a more neutral and coordinated look.

And of course you can't have a card without a big poofy bow right?

~Really Reasonable Ribbon~ Pearl Pink Taffeta Ribbon, Ivory Burlap String, White Magnolia Flowers, Gray Flower Stamens.

Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

Old Wood Spool Decorated with Ribbon and Flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon

 Hello everyone.  Today I have a darling old thread spool decorated with Really Reasonable Ribbon and a sweet little teddy bear. Hope you enjoy my post.

On this spool I use Really Reasonable Ribbon Lace to wrap around the spool, and then glued it with hot glue. Next I started with feathers glued to the one side on top, then added some of the lace and the little bear. I then used the seam binding to create little flowers, and added pearls to the center. I also added some mulberry flowers found at Really Reasonable Ribbon. I had so much fun decorating this fun little spool.

Lastly I added more feathers , seam binding and a flower to the bottom of the spool.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies Used:
