Hello Sending You Hugs Greeting Card

 Hey there friends and crafty peeps! Ginny here to share a card I created with beautiful trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I started this card with an extra large stamped sentiment and framed it with a die cut frame. It's layered over pretty patterned papers and topped with a generously sized flower arrangement.

Way to Go, Grad!

Hello, everyone! It is Gloria with you today. It is almost time to celebrate all those high school and college graduates in your circle! My circle of potential graduates contains only young men at the moment, so I created a masculine style card.

It is always a challenge for me to add ribbon to a masculine style card and not make it too frou-frou. I think I did fine this time! The card base is 5" x 6" made from black cardstock, lined on the inside with white cardstock. 

I attached two pieces of printed paper together and then placed a length of 5/8" Gray Plaid Ribbon over the seam where the two prints meet. I then cut a few small lengths of Oyster Baker's Twine to create a "spider-y" knot around the left edge of the ribbon.

I found some greeting cards with Saturday Evening Post/Norman Rockwell art on them in my stash. They were plain and an odd size, and not printed on particularly nice cardstock. So, I did what anyone would do, I cut them apart so I could use the images! 

I matted the image onto black cardstock, then stamped the hashtag sentiments along the bottom. I wrapped more of the Gray Plaid ribbon around the top of the image, then I added a button tied with a bit of the Oyster twine.

I stamped a greeting onto a scrap of white cardstock and tucked it under the left edge of the image. 

I stamped another greeting on the inside of the card, and then disguised that I stamped it off-center by adding a strip of the printed paper. (Oops!)

Thank you so much for joining me today! And congratulations to all the graduates for 2023!

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
