How does your garden grow?  

Do you have a garden?  Veggies or flowers (or both)??  My vegetables are struggling this year.  We have two weeks of rain with very little sun and I'm seeing a lot of rot.  I have very high hopes that my tomatoes will be ready before the first frost.  It's a struggle in central NY with a really short growing season...

Our winner will be selected from the numbered comments on this post on Tuesday August 17th. Be sure to check back on Tuesday evening to see if you are our lucky winner.

Thanks so much for hopping with us today. We hope you'll stop by and so some shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon soon.

Hello, Fall!

 Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  I have a delightful feeling that my favorite season is just around the corner!  Oh, how I  love fall!  So the August Ribbon Club Assortment is making me happy, happy!  Don't you just love the adorable Hedgehogs and Pumpkins Printed Satin Ribbon?  I may or may not have said "Squeeeee!" when I opened my shipment and found it waiting for me there!

Autumn is all about sipping hot cider and walking in crunchy leaves under crystal blue skies.  So I decided I needed to make a little loaded pocket card filled with all the goodies that make fall such a special time.  

I found so many fun ways to use the ribbons from the August Ribbon Club Assortment!

• Layer the Hedgehog and Pumpkins Satin over Russet Delicate Stitched Satin to create a border at the top of the card.
• Top a sweet fall tag with Cappuccino Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon and a Hedgehog bow.
• Wrap the box pocket with Hedgehog Satin and Natural Burlap String.  
• Tie a pretty bow with Orange Plaid Ribbon and top with a Mixed Earth Tone Chrysanthemum.
• Create a "lollipop" from a rosette.  Then adorn it with ribbons from the assortment and some Mixed Earth Tone Cottage Roses.
• Decorate the goodies in the box pocket with little bits of ribbon. 

Create some little tea wallets and  chocolate wallets to tuck into the box.  Then add fall teas, cookies, honey sticks, spoons...whatever would be a welcome treat on a crisp fall day!

Do you love fall as much as I do?  I can hardly wait!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

Strawberry Sweet Card

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to you all! Today I have a super sweet card I designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the gorgeous ribbons and embellishments they carry in shop. This card has tons of layers.  As you all know I love layering, and I also love bears.

On my card I started with a white 6" x 6" base, then added four design paper layers, all have sewing and white gel dots. Next I added three more layers using die cuts for the doily, shaped die, and circle. I stamped a sentiment that is one of my favorites. Next the darling sweet bear is a SVG file, as I just got a new Cricut Air machine, and I'm loving it! I cut her out in brown card stock, red and tan, and distressed each piece. The eye lashes I drew on, and then added lots of white dots, and black gems. Next the strawberries were cut using a die cut from CC dies, and they were colored using Copics. Lastly I added my double bows and flower embellishments to the top, and then added the inside layer. I've been trying lately to get all the insides of my cards complete, as that way I don't have to do it later.

Really Reasonable Ribbon:

• Delicate Stitched Yellow Gold
• Satin Swiss Dots
• Pearl Daisy Flower Embellishment
• scor tape 1/4"
• Foam Tabs

I hope you enjoyed my post for today, and thank you so much for stopping by! Have a lovely day!

Hugs to all, Cheryl
 

Robins & Wrens.....and Ribbons

Hello blog friends, crafters, and ribbon lovers.  Welcome by today as I share a sweet card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using just a few of their (many) fabulous products.  If you're like me (and I know you are), you enjoy creating cards and beautiful things.  I get so much inspiration from all of you talented artists, and when I see your beautiful projects using ribbons, trims and twines; I always know that I can find the perfect products for my cards at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  They carry so many great products including ribbons, trims and twines of all sorts and varieties; but SO much more as well.

This card started with some cardstocks (brown and white) that I pressure embossed using the Organic Linen Embossing Folder from Altenew as well as a brick patterned paper.  I did a bit of machine stitching on my card to set up my card base.  I used strips of Scor-Tape to attach them all together securely and permanently.  The birds were stamped and cut using a sweet set called Wrens & Robins from The Greetery. There's definitely a learning curve to using these stamps, and this was my very first attempt.

Once I had everything in place, I used some FABULOUS products from Really Reasonable Ribbon to give it that warmth and charm that only ribbons and flowers can provide.  I bundled some Natural Burlap String and some Black Burlap String to create a "nest" or cluster of sorts.  Next, I added some Mulberry Leaves as well as some Wine Red Stamens, Fossil Stamens, and Milk White Stamens.  I topped the cluster with a Black Open Rose and two Sweetheart Blossoms.  Do you see what I mean about Really Reasonable Ribbon having so many great products?  They always seem to have exactly what I need.  I encourage you to check out all the wonderful products at RRR.

Thanks for stopping by today.  You can always find lots of great inspiration here on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog, and learn about special sales and promotions, the monthly Blog Hop (starting on the 13th of each month), and SO much more.  We enjoy your visits.

Blessings,

Hey Sweetie! Happy Birthday Card

 Hello everyone, and Happy Thursday to you all. Today's card was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon and My Makers Movement. I love this ribbon, it's absolutely gorgeous in person, and super easy to work with. I've been so busy working on cards lately. 

On my card here I chose to use three layers added to the base.  Next I added the doily die cut in white, and then my sweet little Cottan Candy Cart.  It's a die cut and came with the stamps I used here. I love the RRR Daisy Pearl Flower on the wheel, it's so cute. My big bows were made using the beautiful Delicate Stitched Satin ribbon (one of my Fav's) in Pearl Pink.  Love it! Lastly I added some dew drops to the corners, and sewing to my card.

Here's a little peek of the inside of my card. I added one layer, and sewing.

Delicate Stitched Satin Pearl Pink

Hello Butterfly Greeting Card

 Hey there friends and crafty peeps! Ginny here to share a greeting card created with gorgeous trims and flowers from RRR.

I'm having so much fun with the slimline profile. I feel like it gives me much more room for extra flowers!

I used a pretty scalloped edge die to add detail like a frame.

This butterfly was part of a larger journal card. I simply fussy cut the image from the background and voila I have an ephemera like focal point.

All of these flowers are WOC from Really Reason. I really piled them on creating 2 arrangements .

Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : )
