You Are Beautiful Card with Ribbon Strips

Hi friends! Happy Saturday and Happy National Scrapbooking Day (if you celebrate)! Today I have a card to share with you. I had fun with a new stamp set I got called Flamingo Party. I made my own background with different stamps and inks and added some fabulous Really Reasonable Ribbon in a unique way. I hope you like it!

I used one of my very favorite ribbons, the 1/8" Diagonal Stripe Ribbon in Black/White to adorn the top and bottom of the card. This ribbon is super versatile and seems to coordinate with just about everything. Love it!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you've found a bit of inspiration in my card. Happy crafting!

Berry Special Card

Hello RRR peeps.  I have an adorable Mother's Day card for you today.

I used a fun color combo of turquoise, green, and red.

 I used Grass Green Seam Binding.

A little hand stamping and a stuffed fabric strawberry! This should make someone feel "berry special" this Mother's day.

Thanks for visiting the RRR blog, Cherry

Ribbon Tutu for Baby's 1st Birthday

Hello everyone. Today I am super excited to share with you all this super darling Really Reasonable Ribbon Tutu I created for my granddaughter Chloey's 1st Birthday. She lives in California, and will be arriving here this coming weekend.  I can't wait to see my daughter, grandbaby, and son-in-law.

On this ribbon tutu I used LOTS of ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The size of this tutu is for 9-12 months, and uses 24 yards of ribbon, and 12 yards of tulle. Super fun and easy to make. I used two 6 yard pieces of off the bolt tulle, and then 24 yards of 7/8" Circus Dots Grosgrain Ribbon in bright pink.. I LOVE how this one turned out. I will be making the onesie to go with this, it will be Minnie Mouse themed. I have also seen these done with the Satin Ribbon in 7/8" and they look so beautiful as well. I might have to try that on the next one I make :)

The bow was created using the same ribbon. I made 3 loops on each side, and then tied a piece of ribbon to knot it, and then tied it over the bow. 

I hope you enjoyed my post for today! I truly enjoyed creating this, and hope to share some photos later with this on the baby :)

Hugs to all,
Cheryl

My pretty bi-color double-loop bow was made on my Bow-it-All V3.0 using two styles from the May Ribbon Club Assortment.  I also used some additional ribbon from the assortment to wrap around the middle of my card under the sentiment panel.  My bow was embellished with a pretty 8 mm Flat Back Pearl.

Happy 4th of July Patriotic Wall Hanging

Happy 1st of the month peeps! Just dropping in to share my first project with the new Patriotic Assortment Ribbon Club Selection.

 

This will be perfect for all the summer holiday projects! Great solids with fun and festive patterns!
I created a wall hanging just because I was in the mood to make extra bows lol.

Stars and stripes are my favorite Americana themed patterns. I die cut the base and added layers of 110 lb cardstock to ensure that it would be nice and sturdy.

The focal image is a digital tag from my shop. It's got a metal eyelet with thick twine pulled through and glass glitter stars peeking out from behind.

Coordinating flowers are layered in with Spiral Stamens and a large chipboard sentiment.

The crisp white paper doily works great to break up the busy patterns.

Isn't this bow fabulous??? There's a solid taffeta with the satin quatrefoil on top then twine and last but not least an epoxy patterned brad.
Okay that's all for me. I can't wait to get more projects started with this ribbon club selection....and get my house all decked out for the summer holidays : ) G
