Honeycomb Coral Satin Ribbon's Perfect Playmate

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Have you broken open the Aqua and Coral Mix April Ribbon Club Collection yet?  Oooh-la-la! I have not been able to stop playing with these scrumptious ribbons!  I thought I'd let you in on my latest happy discovery: the 3/8" Honeycomb Coral Satin Ribbon in the collection is the perfect playmate for Graphic 45's chic Cafe Parisian collection.

If you're a fan of Cafe Parisian, I have even more good news for you.  All the ribbons in this month's Club Assortment work beautifully with it.  For this card, I used my Zutter Bow-it-All tool to tie a triple loop bow, then topped it with the cardstock flowers from the collection.

I love the soft sheen, subtle pattern and texture that the ribbon adds to this card.

I added a handwritten sentiment and a pocket on the inside.  The small note card in the pocket is where I'll add my personal greeting.

I hope I inspired you to get out your paper pretties and play today!  Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

Love Letter Box Card

Hi Guys..Cherry here at the RRR Blog.

I have a shabby card with Mother's Day in mind, although this card could be for anyone.

 I used paper scraps, a gorgeous chipboard frame from GSLC and flowers. I used a vintage potpourri box which would be perfect to nestle a love letter in.

 I used Baby Pink Seam Binding wrapped around the card.  The inside was adorned with a few special touches as well.

Thanks for visiting!  Cherry

Sweet Sentiments Card

Hello everyone and Happy Friday to all! Today I have a card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the beautiful ribbon and lace from the April Ribbon Club Assortment. I love all the ribbons in this months kit.  If you haven't seen it yet, you can find it here :)

My card for today was made up using Graphic45 sweet sentiments design paper, and Bazzill card stock. Love how the ribbon matches it perfectly!!  The sentiment I chose to use is from The Project Bin and is stamped in black Club Scrap ink. Next I chose to distress the oval using a purple.

The beautiful flower embellishments  are from RRR and I have to say these are my favorite. I also chose to use the leaves from Really Reasonable Ribbon too. The branches I punched out using the MS punch.

Flowers were created using Cheery Lynn's Small Rose Flower die, and my Glass Flower Technique that can be found on my blog. I cut out the flowers using the matching design paper, and then distressed them using the purple ink.  I always love the way these turn out. Not to mention they are fun to make, and look beautiful in person!

Lastly I added some sewing in a coordinating color.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

hugs to all,
Cheryl

Just Living is Not Enough...

Hi ribbon lovers.  Bonnie here today sharing a pretty all-occasion card that I made using some of the ribbons from the April Ribbon Club Assortment and some Mulberry Flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I may have mentioned this before, but I really LOVE the Aqua and Coral color combination in the April Ribbon Club Assortment!!

The April Ribbon Club Assortment is an Aqua and Coral Ribbon Mix that contains 9 styles and a total of 18 yards of ribbon.  Each monthly assortment is a holiday or color themed assortment of ribbon.  What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try new ribbon styles.

Be sure to stop back tomorrow and 'blog hop' along with us while the design team showcases this pretty ribbon assortment.

I realized that I tend to always go to the 5/8" ribbon widths for my bows because that's the width that I favor.  BUT, the 3/8" ribbons make a lovely bow as well, right?

I've been on a handmade rose making kick lately using dies from Cheery Lynn Designs and pretty colored papers that I made with distress inks.  It's always fun to tuck in some smaller pre-made flowers too.  I supplemented my handmade roses with some White Aster Daisy Stem Flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon for this card .  I think it adds a pretty touch.

My pretty bi-color double-loop bow was created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool using two of the 3/8" printed satin ribbons from the April Ribbon Club Assortment.

For a video tutorial on how I created this beautiful bow, please click HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  For more information on the other products used on my card, please visit my Make Time to Craft Blog.

Hope Easter Tag

Hello there Paper Peeps! I'm sharing a tag that I created to be an Easter gift.....without it being "too Eastery" so it can be displayed throughout the year and not taken down when the season is over.

I choose some pretty floral patterned paper and paired it with a coordinating plaid to be the background.

 



 Gorgeous trims and flowers to accent the focal image.

 

I chose to put the larger bow on the bottom but I still wanted to dress up the top of the tag and add some twine to display on a hook. Adding altered chipboard to the layers adds a lot of texture.

Last but not least a simple sentiment popped up on foam spacers.

Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

Hi, blog friends! It's Karen Letchworth here today posting a sweet card I created with some of favorite supplies from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  What I love most about Really Reasonable Ribbon is that I can take a simple patterned paper and easily turn it into something SUPER special simply by adding some of their lovely ribbons and trims.  I had a lot of fun making this card doing just that.

I started with two patterned papers and a journalling card from a lovely line called This & That by Echo Park that I inked and machine stitched.  Once I had my patterned papers ready, I added some buttons to the button card.  Then, I laid a strip of Brown Center Stitch Burlap and a length of Cream Seam Binding.  I tied a double bow using the Cream Seam Binding and some Brown Sugar Baker's Twine.  I also added a Coral Open End Rose and two Two-Toned Chocolate Brown Open End Roses.

Really Reasonable Ribbon has so many lovely trims and goodies to adorn your cards and projects.  There's also a fun challenge going on where you can share your ribbon-topped creations.  We love seeing your art, and we welcome you to play along.  Thanks for stopping by today!
