Many Thanks

November 5th?  Say it ain't so?  Well that means ....it is quite ole right to pull out all the stops on holiday creations....it is on!  A Thanksgiving Card for you today here on the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog using Pale Gold Taffeta Ribbon.  It makes the prettiest bows.

 I centered a beautiful antique button in the middle....

 Along with lots of beaded branches, berries, acorns I collected from the grocery store parking lot....yep I sure did!  Nature is everywhere!  Who doesn't like free acorns? 

 I also nestled a pretty botanical of leaves among my branches. 

 Well folks I am off like a herd of turtles today...moving rather slow!  Thanks for visiting the RRR blog, Cherry

It would be a great help to us if you would consider turning off your word verification if it's active on your blog. To do this is really easy and all you need to do is go to Customize > Settings > Comments > then scroll down to where it says comment moderation and select always (this won't stop anybody leaving you a comment but they won't show on your blog until you approve them). Then scroll down to show word verification for comments? and select No.

We love to visit your blogs and leave comments on all the terrific entries, but the word verification really slows us down. :o)

Christmas Blessings/ Doily Fancy Fold Card

 

Hello everyone ,
Cheryl here with a Doily Fancy Fold card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the Gorgeous Christmas Ribbon called "Plaid Ribbon Christmas Red/Green/Gold" This ribbon is absolutely beautiful, and makes for some Gorgeous bows(easy to create too). I am having so much fun creating Christmas cards this year, and this one was a super fun one to create. Might have to do some more of this kind :)

My card was created using 4 doilies, 6 circles, 1 frame, and 1 oval. This one has Really Reasonable Ribbon to tie it closed. Above you can see it un-tied. My bow is made up using the Plaid Christmas ribbon and I made 2 bows, and glued them to each other. Next I hot glued a RRR Embellishment to the center. LOVE this card!!

In the center of my bow I used one of Really Reasonable Ribbons beautiful embellishments called Mixed color Flower shaped flatback round acrylic rhinestone embellishment in red.


All dies used are Cheery Lynn Dies

 I hope you enjoyed my post for today! Thank you for stopping by, and have a lovely day!
hugs to all,
Cheryl

Mulberry Flowers are such a quick and easy way to add a little 'WOW' to your project.  I just love the roses and the spiral stamens.  There is a HUGE variety of flower options to choose from.

My bow was created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 with two of the ribbon styles in the October Ribbon Club Assortment.  It's topped off with the pretty White Pearl Daisy Flower.  Really Reasonable Ribbon now carries a big selection of Embellishments.  Head over and take a look!
