Vintage Baby Card & Tutorials

Hello Fellow lovers of Ribbons and Trims!! Heather here and today I am sharing with you a baby card that I made. This is as close as I can get to a Clean and Simple look. (I could probably get closer, but honestly it would drive me nuts having more white space..lol).

I used a piece of the textured two tone pink ribbon to create the tiny bow at the top of my baby onesie.  I used a couple pieces of the 1/4th" natural crochet lace to create the sweet vintage look to the sleeves of my onesie.  Of course these and the fabulous 15mm Baby Pink mulberry roses all came from Really Reasonable Ribbon!!

To create my card, I first designed my own onesie file, the sweet little duck is from the creative point.  I simply cut it out of some digi papers that I did to match my onsie.  I also used one of my vintage banners, and my alpha text boxes.

I also have another project that I would like to share.  I am back into my  "Christmas in the Bank" mode.  Creating Christmas goodies ahead of time for next year :0)  Crazy I know...but who knows I may actually be ahead this year! I have a lovely Victorian inspired Christmas Ornament.

 I used my "Bow it all" tool to create the fabby ivory organza and melon hand-dyed silk bows.  You can see both bows, as well as the Cotton Candy Baker's Twine, and 20mm Deep ivory Mulberry Rose from Really Reasonable Ribbon in the close up below. 

I also used some glittery goodies and embellishments. At the top of my ornament, I used the RRR Pink Swirls ribbon for my bow.  Of course you know I like "interactive" pieces, so the candy canes come out.  

Here is a look at the back.  I ran out of the pink silk so I used my favorite Salmon Pink Seam binding with another 20mm Deep ivory Mulberry Rose.  I used elements from my Angel Ornament set, my Pink Victorian Mitten Sheet, and my new Victorian 2 Turtle Doves Collage sheet focals to create this piece.

I have a Youtube tutorial showing you how I made my ornament.  So grab yourself some yummy coffee, tea or hot cocoa, and some chocolate and have a watch.

I am in a "Tutorial" kind of mood, so while I am sharing, here is  another tutorial, for your blog that you may find fun!

 How to add a Pinterest Hover Button to your blog. This is SUPER COOL!  All you have to do is add the html code one time to your blogger template, and then every time someone visits your blog and their mouse "hovers" over your images, a little "Pin it" button will show up!  That way your Peeps can pin all your beautiful creations...that you have made with your awesome  Really Reasonable Ribbon Goodies of course :0) If you are wondering what I am talking about, you can visit my blog here, and hover over a photo in my blog post...and my sparkly "pin it button" will show up (your button will look different, because I designed my own, but you will get the idea).
Thank you so much for visiting us at Really Reasonable Ribbon today! Hope you have some time to create and play along in our "For the Boys and Ribbon Challenge" I can't wait to see what you create...and will be even more excited if you have a Pin it hover button so I can pin your creation! Hugs!! Heather

Little One Layout

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday to all! Cheryl here today to share a layout I did for my son's album that I have been working on. I used the beautiful Really Reasonable Ribbons from this month's Ribbon Club Assortment.

The February Ribbon Club Assortment worked perfect for this layout I did. I love blues and browns together and it's perfect for a little one. All three ribbons and lace came from February's Ribbon Club found at Really Reasonable Ribbon here! 

My son will be 21 in April and I have been trying to get some of his pages done for his album.  This will be another to add to the album for him.  The title of my page came from the design paper I used.  It says Little One under the little hedgehog at the top of the page. I thought it would be perfect for this layout. The little CottageCutz hedgehogs are dies I used to cut out the ones at the bottom of my page. They were colored with Copics and glued on. I also glued on my ribbon, stars, and even the Thicker's to be sure that nothing falls off.

I really enjoyed making this page, and sharing it today. Hope you all have a super wonderful day!

Thank you for looking!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

Here's what you need to do:

* Create a new project using the posted theme. A layout, card, ATC, home decor item, or anything your can think of.

 PLEASE consider turning off your word verification.

It would be a great help to us if you would consider turning off your word verification if it's active on your blog. To do this is really easy and all you need to do is go to Customise > Settings > Comments > then scroll down to where it says comment moderation and select always (this won't stop anybody leaving you a comment but they won't show on your blog till you approve them). Then scroll down to show word verification for comments? and select No.

We love to visit your blogs and leave comments on all the terrific entries, but the word verification really slows us down. :o)

Little Buckeroo Card

For our February Blog Hop, please click HERE.       I'm really into this cowboy theme lately for some reason. Probably because this little cowboy is so stinkin cute : )

I rustled up a big ole pile of patterned papers and layered them with vintage images and Brown Plaid Ribbon.

I hope you all enjoy a happy and productive day and find some time to be creative : ) G
