Nana "Happy Mother's Day"

Hello everyone, and Happy Tuesday to all!

Today I have a card I designed for Mother's Day for Really Reasonable Ribbon. I love using the Beautiful Ribbons. Laces, Buttons, and flowers that Bonnie carries in the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store.

For my card today, I used the beautiful Noelle Lace that is on Sale right now for HALF price and you can find it here.  I ran it across the center of my card 2 times to create a lace border. I then used the Pink Gingham Ribbon to create a big bow. Love PINK, and I LOVE the Gingham Ribbon from RRR!

Next I used a button and a Sweetheart Blossom, both can be found at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store. 

For my image I used the CottageCutz Sweet Spring Kitty die along with the Expressions Nana, Happy, and Mother's Day dies. All are colored with Copics.

Here is a photo of the inside of my card.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Hugs,

Cheryl

Retro Inspired Thank You Card

Hi there Paper Peeps! I'm dropping in today to share a fun retro inspired Thank You card : )

I used layers of patterned papers, and vintage retro images along with Cricut cuts, and embossing.

To keep all the patterned papers from looking busy I separated them with navy cardstock.  I super love the Center Stitch Burlap Ribbon in Navy....I wrapped it around the card and added a very poofy bow. I confess...I have been collecting the burlap ribbon in full spools lol...I can't get enough of it!

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

With Sympathy

Good morning, Really Reasonable Ribbon fans!  Today I have a quick post for you to share a sympathy card I made for a friend.     Though I don't normally work shades from the orange family, I quite liked the way this turned out!    

    For this one, I used a few layers of ribbon across the center.  I think it adds dimension and really makes you take a hard look at the project so that you don't miss anything! The ribbons I used for my layered strip are 1.5" Champagne Netting, Copper Grosgrain and Delicate Rose Grosgrain Brown.

I used the Copper Grosgrain to make a 2'' double-loop bow with my Bow it All Tool from Zutter.  Then I topped it all off with a spray of assorted flowers.  
I hope you enjoyed this peek  at my latest card.  Be sure to pop back tomorrow for more inspiration!

Altered Wood Blocks

Well how are you today?   We are knee deep in laying flooring...house is in shambles but I popped in to share a couple of altered wood blocks I created using RRR ribbons.  I cut them from scrap, painted and aged them up.   I then covered the edges with papers and white wide crochet lace and May Arts burlap ribbon with center stitch in green.   Other ribbons include seam bindings in baby pink and green.   From there it was all about adding fun little touches...the first is a gardening theme.....all in greens and stamps from PTI...the other, all about home.    I used snippets of vintage laces, a bingo card, and wood knobs as well to add unique touches.  Lots of flowers and buttons were used as well.  I think these would make great Mother's Day gifts.....creating your own theme.   Hope you enjoy!   Thanks for letting me share!   Cherry
