Go On and Celebrate!

Hello, everyone! It is Gloria with you again! Well, it is almost a new year! Time to say good-bye to the old year and celebrate the new!

To celebrate, I decided to make a birthday card, which I will send to someone in 2023!

I made a slimline card that measures 4" x 9", which should just fit into a #10 (business-sized) envelope. I think next time I will make my slimline just a tiny bit...slimmer! 

I once again pulled some paper out of my stash which was still sealed up in plastic...a collection from Echo Park circa 2016! I mean...really, who does this?! Me apparently! 

I used more ribbon from the December Ribbon Club. I used some 5/8" Mineral Ice Taffeta (of which I need more!), and 3/8" Turquoise Satin Swiss Dots. 

I created the sentiment circle by embossing the sentiments with some gold toned embossing powder. I added some enamel dots and a button to look like...cupcake sprinkles. 

I also decorated the inside of the card. There is still room to write a message and to add a gift card!

My oldest brother has a birthday on January 1st, but I am not going to send this card to him...maybe I wills send him something a little more for an avid outdoorsman! {smile}

Thank you so much for joining me today!

Skating Party!

 Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Today I have a sweet little winter wall hanging to share with you.  I've dressed it all up with satin ribbons from the Winter Carnival Ribbon Club Assortment.  I hope you'll enjoy this little Skating Party project!

First I framed my 5x7 mixed media background with the Aqua Sprinkles Satin Ribbon in this month's Ribbon Club Assortment.  You can use Scor-Tape for this, or you can machine stitch as I did here.  Then I layered in some chipboard elements and die cut foliage.  Next I attached it to a little metal hanger and topped it with some Pink Tulips Satin Ribbon, also from the club assortment. 

Add a pop of color with a double loop Tropic Delicate Stitched Satin bow.  Delicate Stitched Satin ribbon is one of my "go to" ribbon choices.  It is soft and easy to work with and always ties a beautiful bow.

Winter is a great time to hang out in your crafty space. I hope you're keeping warm and cozy and creative! 

Cheerio,

kathy

Merry Christmas tag with RRR

Hello crafty friends and Happy Friday to you all! Today's Christmas Candy tag was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon and also for my grandson. I will be adding this tag to one of his presents for Christmas. This is my last Christmas tag for the year. Hope you enjoy!

So for my tag base I just chose a spellbinders die shape that I like best for this darling dragon. I cut out one in red and one in white, and then stamped my sentiment in red ink on the white card stock. Super easy right?! Next I used the RRR Foam tabs to pop the white frame and then added my white paint dots. for the dragon I used an SVG cutting file, and had these put together from last year, so it was easy to just grab one and use. I did use several foam tabs layered on top of each other to pop him higher up so the sucker could slide in behind him. The suckers came from Walmart. Next I picked out 2 ribbons, and used the plaid christmas ribbon red and green in 5/8" and then the Checkerboard Satin in forest green 3/8", I just looped them both and hot glued to the back. I did staple them together first. Lastly I slide the sucker in and then used a foam tab to hold it in place. Love making these fun little tags for Christmas.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you enjoyed my tag for today! May you all have a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

Hugs to all, Cheryl

Jingle All the Way

Jingle all the way to Christmas with Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Christmas is almost here; and if you haven't yet told your hubby, family and friends what YOU want for Christmas, let me suggest some goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  They are the best.  This sweet little quick and easy card was created using a few of my all-time favorite RRR products; which are Baker's Twine, Burlap String and Scor-Tape.

I used some Cream Baker's Twine to wrap the black die-cut frame and added another length of the Cream Baker's Twine around my card.  Next, I used a length of Natural Burlap String to tie some rusty jingle bells together.  Burlap String comes in so many fabulous colors and can be used in so many different ways.  It's a crafting essential and costs only ten cents ($0.10) per yard.  The same is true of Baker's Twine.  It's my all-time favorite trim that also costs just ten cents ($0.10) per yard and comes in SO many beautiful colors.  Those of you who know me well are aware that I used these two trims A LOT.

I used Scor-Tape to attach pretty much everything on my card.  One thing I especially LOVE about Scor-Tape is that it comes in a variety of widths so that you can always get the perfect size for each task.  As you'll see in this photo (below), I used the narrower Scor-Tape on the frame and the wider Scor-Tape on the other pieces.  There's always a perfect size for every project.  It's a fantastic Adhesive that holds things securely in place over time.

Another great thing about all the fantastic trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon is that you can always find the PERFECT color for any project.  For instance, when I made this card, I decided to use this random piece of left-over patterned paper.  No matter what paper scrap you're wanting to use, RRR will always have the perfect trim in the perfect width, color, and texture to match anything you've got.

I used an embossing folder to add some texture to the inside of the die-cut frame.  The sled and sentiment are stickers from Echo Park.  If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be more than happy to answer them.  All of us at Really Reasonable Ribbon wish you a blessed Christmas and happy crafting all year long.  We're here to help and encourage you.  Thanks so much for stopping by to visit today.

Blessings,

Karen

Christmas Time

Hello, everyone! It is Gloria with you again! I am back with one last Christmas card. It is time to get those cards in the mail! 

I am in love with this Heartfelt Creations paper pad, Holiday Star. It has beautiful blues and purples! I decided to combine them in this quick and easy card. The card is a standard A2 size ( 4.25" x 5.5") but it may need a bigger envelope to accommodate that fluffy bow!

I tied two bows, one from 5/8" White Double-faced Satin and one from 5/8" Hyacinth Diamond Satin. Both ribbons are part of the December Ribbon Club Assortment, Winter Carnaval. 

I used a large snowflake button to top the bows. A sparkly gem finishes it all off. 

I added a few sequins and gems to the snowflake designs on the paper, just for some added bling! I also trimmed a sentiment from the paper, making this a very simple card to put together. 

Thank you so much for joining me today!
