Spring Card by Cherry Nelson

 Hello RRR paper peeps!   Cherry here to share an ultra shabby Spring card.

It is an all occasion card using gorgeous pink seam binding

and Lotus flowers.

I have been having a ball using mixed media techniques...I used some gesso, cheesecloth, and snippets of a vintage hankie to add texture.  I also embossed some of the chipboard to add a pop of color.

Well paper friends, that is it for me!!!  Enjoy, Cherry

Live True Sweet and Simple Greeting Card

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Spring is peeping around the corners here in North Carolina, and the RRR March Ribbon Club Assortment is perfect for all our spring themed projects! 

I've adorned this sweet and simple 6x6 top fold card with two of the ribbons from this month's club.  Coral Rose Swiss Dots Satin adds some pop to the border of my layered papers.  And Light Coral Diamond Satin Ribbon looks like it was made for the floral cluster on this card.

These flowers make me think of the azaleas that bloom so early in the spring.  I just love them!

The inside of the card is sweet and simple, too.  Room to write a little note, and then a little pocket filled with tea.  It's the simple pleasures in life that are the best after all.

Wishing you a day filled with the beauty of life!

Cheerio,
kathy

Sweet Birthday wishes /Shaker card

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to you all! Today I'm sharing a sweet card made for a friends Birthday that is this week, and for Really Reasonable Ribbon and My Makers Movement, using the beautiful Ribbons from RRR and super darling Dies and Stamps from Makers Movement, I will list all products used below, thank you.

On my card for today I chose to use the super cute design papers from Pebbles called From Me to You, Love it! Next I put each layer together using the Scotch advanced tape refill, and then added sewing and white dots to each layer.

Jar was done using this darling set called You're the Sweetest from My Makers Movement, and I added the cute little heart sprinkles inside. Love this darling jar, its a shaker card. The lid for the jar has the foam under it, and then a RRR 10mm flat backed pearl.

Next I chose to add some Beautiful Ribbon bows to my card, I hot glued them on in the corner, double layered bow, using Delicate Stitched and Gingham ribbons both from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and then added the big beautiful Yellow Chrysanthemums.

With Sympathy

We're so grateful that you've stopped by the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog today, creative friends.  Today it's Karen here sharing a sweet card that I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I used a stamped sentiment (With Sympathy) from Stamp Simply, and the panel design I used to create my card base was inspired by my talented teammate Ginny from Polly's Paper Studio and her Panel Card Tutorial.  Once I had all my patterned papers chosen, cut, distressed, inked and sewn, I attached them securely with strips of Scor-Tape.  Then, I got busy with the really FUN part...decorating and embellishing my card with some FUN products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

At the bottom left of my card, I added some bundled Ivory Burlap String.  I topped that with a bow tied using a length of Bay Leaf Seam Binding.  That's topped with a sweet little Light Pink Berry Bead Cluster, two Pastel Magnolia Flowers, two different styles of Mulberry Leaves, and there's also a bunch of Double Head Stamens tucked in there...including some Milk White, some Light Pink, Matcha Green, and Light Blue.  These awesome touches come in a wide variety of colors (and two styles), and they're very affordable (approx. $2/400 pcs.) so why not grab some?  I own them in every color, and I use them ALL the time (as you may have noticed...LOL).

At the bottom right of my card, you'll see a sweet piece from our Embellishments section by way of the vintage style Flatback Gem I attached.  There's also a cute little Rusty Paperclip tucked into my bow.  There are all sorts of great products available at RRR in addition to all their fabulous ribbons and trims.  Why not treat yourself today?  Or, at least stop by to do some looking around.  I adore everything at Really Reasonable Ribbon, and I have a feeling that you will as well.

Thanks again for stopping by,

Karen

Make Today Great All Occasion Greeting Card

Hello there friends and RRR fans! Ginny here to share a greeting card with gorgeous trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The inspiration for this card was a pretty butterfly journal card. I clipped it into a tag shape and layered it over coordinating patterned papers.

I wanted the butterfly to look like it was part of the floral arrangement so I added the flowers  starting in one corner and working my way to the other leaving the image visible between the arrangements.

There's a check layered over a plaid here so to keep it from looking busy I used the smaller pattern on top and die cut it to have a scalloped edge.

The seam binding makes a pretty petite bow tucked under the flowers. Loopy twine bows  help to fill in the space and soften the hard edges.

The larger flowers are positioned on top and have a second bow for balance.

Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G
