Sweet Window Shaker Card using RRR

Hello crafty friends and Happy Friday to you all! DT Member Cheryl here today sharing this darling Raggedy Sweetheart Window Shaker card I made for Really Reasonable Ribbon. On my card today I used Lots of Delicate Satin Ribbon, Scor-tape, flower and foam tabs.

I ended up using lots of random flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon, some of them are open roses 15mm, 10mm, I used gardenia white, and cosmo daisy white, I used a chrysanthemum in pink, and mini sweetheart blossoms.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies Used:

Chrysanthemum Pink

Sweetheart Blossoms Mini

Open Roses 

scor tape 

foam tabs

other supplies used are / svg, MS punch, window die, sewing machine, hot glue, swirl die, shaker pieces, white paint pen for dots, inks for svgs.

I love making the window shakers, using craft plastic sheets, foam roll, or foam tabs cut. Shaker pieces, and the window die. These are so fun to make. I did do a hidden tag in the pocket behind the window. Delicate satin ribbon makes for super easy and fun bows that hold their shape. Love this!

I hope you enjoyed my card for today, and thank you so very much for stopping by! Hugs to all, Cheryl 

 

The Beach is Calling Home Decor Banner

 Hello, Ribbon Lovers!

Summer is peeking around the corner, and that always makes me think about the beach!  So I dug out some of favorite Really Reasonable Ribbon trims and flowers to make this The Beach is Calling Home Decor Banner.

This great big banner is stitched onto Navy Silky Crush Ribbon and topped with Navy Striped Burlap Ribbon (out of stock, but this grosgrain ribbon would look great, too). 

Each end of the banner is dressed up with pretty bows tied from Navy/Ivory/Gold Plaid Ribbon, one of my all time favorites.  I've topped my double loop bows with Gold Metallic String .  

The flower clusters are made up with White Magnolias, Earth Tone Magnolias, Mixed Blue Peonies and Itty Bitty Mixed Blue Sweetheart Blossoms. 

If you'd like to see how to make this lovely banner, please enjoy this video tutorial.

Thanks so much for stopping by, friends!

Cheerio,

kathy

Sweet Strawberry Card

Good Morning and Happy Monday to you! 

Misty (@Mommyofkidz) here with you today sharing a cute and easy card that I made over the iNSD weekend.  To be honest,   after a very LONG week of torrential downpours and extreme flash flooding here in my area, I am very thankful to be able to share anything with you all! While I was not affected by the flood waters, I do have several friends and family members that were.

PLEASE keep them in your thoughts as the recovery process begins. I will be going to the hospital today to visit my Aunt who broke her leg while beginning the clean up process yesterday from the 4 feet of water in her own home. 

Anyway...before all the chaos began,

I was enjoying the preparation of a few cards (which I do not EVER make) to start giving handmade cards as opposed to store bought ones.  While this is not the card that I will take with me to the hospital today, this is one of my favorites from the weekend.

For this card, I pulled out some OLD favorites of mine...

My Creative Memories punches.  

I paired the punches with the perfect ribbon and Burlap String Combo from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and...well...

When I combined my creations...

It made a perfectly SWEET strawberry vine! 

As you can see, the final results were nothing 

short of adorable, but it did not start out that way! 

Every perfect project begins

 with a not so perfect construction phase.  

Here is a photo to show you the deconstructed view of this card:

Of course, once I added in the tag with the super cute pink plaid ribbon, it started pulling the vine together. I topped that off with a length of

Ivory Burlap String, and the card was complete. 

"SWEET" Victory!! 

Isn't is satisfying to see how a project comes together and the 

final results are better than you expected? 

Yes, that is exactly how this felt...

Like a victory! 

 Since I am not really a card maker, I am pretty proud of how this came together!  I will have to figure something out that will be appropriate for my Aunt so that I can make a card for her.

I am quite sure that she would appreciate the beauty of a homemade card! Any suggestion for a design would be truly appreciated! Leave them in the comments section below! 

Thank you for stopping by today! 

Pretty As a Peach

Do you want to make cards that are "pretty as a peach"? Well, whenever I'm trying to make a pretty card, I almost always want to put some type of ribbon or trim on it. We all know that the very BEST place to find every type of ribbon, lace, twine, or trim is Really Reasonable Ribbon. They really have it ALL from ribbons and trims to Adhesives, Mulberry Flowers, and so much more.

You can read my extended supply list for this card by visiting my blog, My Cup Runneth Over.  I also added some sequins to my card for texture and sparkle.  Did you know that Really Reasonable Ribbon also carries fabulous Embellishments?  Yes!  Not only the best ribbons and trims, but many other beautiful crafty products.

The pretty gingham ribbon I wrapped around my card and used to tie a double bow is the 3/8" Moss Green & Cream Gingham Ribbon. I attached pretty much everything on my using the FABULOUS Adhesive called Scor-Tape. Scor-Tape comes in several different widths, and it holds things in place so that they won't come detached when mailing or when stored for a long period of time.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today. You'll always find loads of great inspiration on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog and lots of great shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon. Have a blessed and creative day, and please stop by again soon.  I always enjoy your visits and comments.

God bless you,

Karen
