Sending Birthday Hugs Card

 Hello friends.  Today I'm sharing a birthday card that you can easily mail in a regular envelope while still adding a little touch of ribbon.  This one fits the bill and it's embellished with some pretty ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I created a 4-3/4" x 6-1/2" top fold card with minimal layers. My digital sentiment from our sister company Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point.  I ran a piece of Charcoal Diamond Satin topped with our NEW Metallic Baker's Twine in yellow across the center of the card.  This is a great way to use up all those ribbon and trim 'bits and bobs'.

I finished of the inside of my card with the Birthday Greetings 2 'For the Inside' Digital Stamp Bundle.

Our sister company 'Bonnie Garby Designs' is offering a large variety of digital sentiment stamps and svg files.  Below are the two sets I used on my card today.

Feminine Flowers and Butterflies Mixed Media Card

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Mother's Day is just around the corner, so I thought I would share a feminine card featuring flowers that will never fade or wilt.  My mom's favorite color was pink,, and I love the way this Pink Chevron Striped Ribbon bow adds to the feminine vibe of this mixed media card.

Topping the bow with a Brown Sugar Baker's Twine Bow and button adds to the girly grunge feel of this card.  It's always a good idea to add extra texture to a mixed media card!

 Mom loves treats on her special day, so I added a box style pocket inside the card, then filled it up with all kinds of goodies.  

Mom can enjoy the tea, honey, cookies and chocolate now.  Later on she can enjoy the vintage demitasse spoon and packet of wildflower seeds.  

You'll find Chevron Striped Ribbon in lots of shades and widths at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Even though this is a wider ribbon, it ties the most beautiful bows because it is so soft and supple.  If you're not familiar with the Baker's Twine Assortment at RRR, I highly recommend it!  It's a rare day when I don't add either burlap string, metallic string or Baker's Twine to a project.  It's always just the perfect finishing touch.

Wishing you a day filled with joy and creativity!

Easter Hexagon Treat Box & Video tutorial

Hello crafty friends and Happy Friday to you all! Today's Milk Carton Hexagon Box is a Mini one, and was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the gorgeous satin ribbon's, and embellishments. I made this box in a bigger size, and just wanted to make some small ones for Easter Favors.

I do have a video on how to make the bigger one of these, it can be found here. Love making these and I've made tons of them for gifting. On this one here I kept it simple and just added a printed image, and then punched it out using stampinUp! punches, next I added some fences and grass that I cut out using dies. The ribbon I chose is the gorgeous ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon in Pink Satin 3/8" and 5/8" ribbon. I then added a flower embellishment to the tag. if you havent made one of these yet, you definitely want to, as they are so much fun.

Really Reasonable Ribbon:

• Pink Satin in 3/8" and 5/8"
• flower embellishment
• foam tabs
• scor-tape
• other things used, tag punch, hot glue, art glitter glue, white paint pen, stampinup punches, metal dies from CC , and happy Easter stamp sentiment.

 Thank you so much for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Happy Crafting! Hugs, Cheryl

Easter Wishes

Hello everyone and thanks so much for visiting today.  It's Karen here sharing two pretty cards that I created using a few of my (many) favorite products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  There are always so many perfect ribbons, trims, twines and delights at RRR to help me make my cards extra special, and I know that YOU will find something to jazz up your next card or project when you shop at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

This first card started with basic cardstock that I covered with scraps of patterned papers using Scor-Tape to adhere it all.  The sentiment was printed on white cardstock using a digital stamp from Bonnie Garby Designs.  It from the Easter Religious Digital Bundle which is one of many awesome designs you'll find at Bonnie Garby Designs.  I rubbed oxide ink over the sentiment and splattered a hot mess of acrylic paint on it to add a bit of color.

At the bottom of this card, I tied a length of Solid Teal Baker's Twine and topped it with some Double Head Stamens and a Pink Sweetheart Blossom.  There are SO many lovely colors of Baker's Twine at Really Reasonable Ribbon that will let your cards POP with color.  This is a very simple card, but the Baker's Twine and Mulberry Flower really give it some pizzaz.

My second card also uses a sentiment from the Easter Religious Digital Bundle by Bonnie Garby Designs.  I rubbed the image with Lavendar and Concord Oxide Inks and then cut it with die-cut frame.  Because the frame wasn't long enough for the card, I was able to cut it and fill in the empty space with ribbon.  To do this, I used a piece of White Satin Middle Ruffle along with a length of Elderberry Seam Binding.  They're also attached securely with Scor-Tape.

I added some Double Head Stamens and a pretty Lilac Magnolia Flower to finish this simple card.  Really Reasonable Ribbon has so many great ribbons, laces, trims and twines to help you adorn your cards and make something special.  Don't forget to stop by the RRR Blog often for loads of inspiration and information about special sales and promotions.  AND....our monthly Blog Hop on the 13th of every month.

Happy crafting,

Karen

Thank You Greeting Card

 Hey there friends and crafty peeps! Ginny here with a card I created with beautiful trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon. This time I'm going for a neutral palate and I think it looks so elegant!

I've recently been loving this 3/8 inch ribbons....especially the ones with a metallic edge. That little bit of sparkle really goes a long way in adding extra detail to an otherwise simple card. 

~Really Reasonable Ribbon~ 3/8" Satin with Gold Metallic Edges Vanilla, Ivory Burlap String 

Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G
