Banner made with Really Reasonable Ribbon

 

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends! Today I have a fun Love Banner I designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the gorgeous ribbons, twine and flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon, Flowers , foam tabs, scot-tape and Jute to pull it all together. 

To start I cut out all the banners using a banner punch board I bought from AC. I then layered all my pieces and added some of RRR lace behind each piece. Next I chose to add layers and rosettes to the center of each banner, so I could place the LOVE thickers. I used Really Reasonable Ribbons Gorgeous Black Swiss dot ribbon for my big bows, and then the Chelsea roses as well. Love how this turned out and I may have to make another for Easter. 

Really Reasonable Ribbons can be found here- Black Swiss dots

RRR Jute /bakers twine

flowers Chelsea rose baby pink and ivory

foam tabs

scor-tape

I also used a ton of Dew drops on each banner.

Thank you so much for stopping by 

hugs to all,

Spring is (Almost) Here

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Spring will soon be here.  Time to break out all those beautiful pastel ribbons and trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon!  I've created a little Spring window box shaker card and dressed it up with my very favorite Coral Rose Mini Check Ribbon.  I don't know what it is about this shade of pink, but it just seems to go with everything.  The ribbon ties into the most beautiful puffy bows, too.  Bonnie and I agree that we wish this ribbon came in every color of the rainbow! 

One of my other favorite trims from RRR is the amazing Iridescent Metallic String.  This wonderful trim picks up whatever color palette you are using, so it goes with everything.  It also adds a little touch of shimmer on top of my Coral Rose Mini Check bow, which I like very much. 

Here's a peek at the inside of this sweet springtime card.  I added a flap page and a treat pocket to dress things up a bit.  

To dress up the little tag and tea wallet, I pulled out a combination of Aqua and Light Pink Baker's Twine.  It's almost like getting an Easter Basket in the mail, isn't it?

Have  you started your spring crafting yet?  Bonnie has so many beautiful spring ribbons in the shop!  I like to go look at them and make sure I have all the colors and styles I might need for spring crafting.

Thanks for stopping by, friends!

Cheerio,

Stitched Easter Card & Bookmark

I think Easter has to be one of my most favorite holidays for crafting.  I just love all things pastel, soft and sweet, and of course.....covered in ribbons and bows.  Really Reasonable Ribbon always has the perfect trims and accents for every project I make.  They can help you find the perfect products and "special touches" for your next project as well.

I have always loved stitching dies, cross-stitching, and making various things than can incorporate my cross-stitching with my card-making.  This duo was a lot of fun to make.  I used corrugated cardboard for the base of both my card and the matching bookmark.  I like to use scraps of paper whenever possible.  Some are so cute that you just hate throwing them out, you know?  Here's an occasion to use them.

I used some Brushed Corduroy Ink to "stain" or "dirty" my lengths of Bay Leaf Seam Binding.  I also bundled some Natural Burlap String and placed atop the embroidery hoops as well as in the pretty bow where I tucked in a few Double Head Stamens.  There are so many soft sweet touches at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I thought it would be a cute idea to make a matching bookmark for this sweet card.  I found both of the cross-stitch images on Pinterest.  All those wonderful layers are securely attached using lots of fabulous Scor-Tape.  There are several lengths of Green Apple Seam Binding hanging from the top of the bookmark.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you'll visit the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog often for lots of great inspiration and then do some shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Treat yourself.   I hope you have a really great week.

Blessings,

Rainbow of Roses Card

Hello! Misty (@Mommyofkidz) here today

to share a cute little St. Patty's Day card with you. 

I have ZERO natural talent when it comes to 

card making, so I usually leave that to the pros.

However, I have been wanting to do this 

"Rainbow of Roses" card for quite a while now! 

I started with ribbons and roses from the Really Reasonable Ribbon store

 and an svg. bundle from Bonnie Garby Designs. 

Also, if you have Cricut Design Space, you can find 

many of her images there as well.  

I actually think this one may have actually come from there. 

I cut the entire image in white cardstock and used distress inks to add the colors. I found matching ribbons and tiny rose buds to match each color that I used in my rainbow. I used the Wild Orchid 10mm Pastel Open Roses  and they were the perfect size for this project. All of the ribbons are 3/8 inch Swiss Dots grosgrain except the one chevron which I think came from an assortment pack.  Once I had all my materials gathered, I set to work making it come to life. 

 

Once it was inked, I added the outlines using a white gel pen and

then attached the ribbons and roses. I added each piece to the backing that I had cut with black cardstock, and added the faux stitching outlines to that as well. Notice that I let the ribbons cascade down past the end of the card?  I was hoping to make it look like the rainbow was continuing...like never-ending. I don't know how well that worked...but that was the thought behind it.

Either way, I liked the extra effect that it created. 

Finally, I added the entire rainbow to my gatefold card that I had prepared with a bit of distress inks and heavy white gesso to create a cloud background while also adding a bit of texture. 

As I mentioned in the beginning, I have ZERO natural talent when it comes to cards.  When I was finished with all of the design process, I realized that I didn't leave any space on the front for a sentiment! 

This is why I leave the card making to the Pros!!!

Thank you all for stopping by today. 

I hope that I have inspired in some way. If you like this card, head on over to Really Reasonable Ribbon to collect all the supplies! Stay Crafty My Friends!!

Candy Popper with Really Reasonable Ribbon

 

Hello crafty friends, today I have a fun little candy popper I designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon. Love the gorgeous Ribbons on the ends, and the darling gnome design paper, super fun and cute!

So I did use the scor-tape from Really Reasonable Ribbon to attach my papers to the popper. I made this popper using a board that designs them for us. The Ribbon is the Plaid Red Bold Checked and is one of my many favorites from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I also used some red dew drops from The Robins Nest on my box here. this little box can hold some candy or a small gift. super fun to make! 

Thank you so very much for stopping by and hope you have a lovely day!

Hugs to all, 

Cheryl
