Holiday Cheer with the October Ribbon Club

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Have you had a chance to create with the  October Ribbon Club yet?  These ribbons are so festive and cheery that they put me in the mood to do a little Christmas crafting. 



Isn't this a fun color combination for the holidays?  I've paired up this luscious 5/8" Red Taffeta Ribbon with some poinsettias that I had in my stash.  It's just the perfect shade of red for the new G45 Christmas Magic collection, and I love it!   Gold Metallic String adds a touch of holiday sparkle and shine beneath my chipboard snowflake.


Taffeta ribbon is a bow tying dream come true.  The texture is lovely and crisp, but it's not too thick.  I can see myself using lots and lots of red taffeta ribbon this season!


More of this lovely red taffeta ribbon tops the little tags that tuck inside the pocket of this cheery little card.

I even tied my last little snippet of it around this candy cane and miniature spoon cluster.  Now, why would I need a spoon for this card, you might well ask?

I bet you can guess what I have tucked inside this 3" x 5" folio, can't you?

Just the makings for a little Christmas cup of tea, that's all! 

I can't wait to play more with this beautiful ribbon club assortment! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cheerio,

Pretty in Pink with Ribbons, Lace & Flowers

Hello crafty friends and Good Morning to you all! Today I'm sharing this sweet card featuring lots of Really Reasonable Ribbon goodies. LOVING all the beautiful flowers that Bonnie carries over at the RRR shop.  The little Rose Buds are absolutely darling, and work perfectly on my card here. Normally I like to make my flowers, but lately you can say I've been kinda lazy in the flower making ..hehehe

On my card here I decided to use the sweet Carnations in pink, then the Aster Daisy, and also Mixed Pink Rose Buds, and 2-tone Pink Rose Buds. I love how they all look so pretty together, along with the gorgeous Canvas Color Band Ribbon with the pink, love it!  I did add some Gabrielle Lace behind.

My card was put together using the Scotch ATG refill, and foam tabs in the thin white, also from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

My image is a digi.  Omgosh it's been years since I've used digis, but this one I fell in love with and just had to have. She is colored with Copics, and I did add some glossy accents to her coffee cup, heart, and dots on her hair bow.

Embellishment flowers are from RRR and can be found here.

You Bewitch Me Halloween Tag

Hello there friends and crafty peeps! Ginny here to share a project I created with the new October Ribbon Club Assortment. This is a Christmas themed collection which is gorgeously festive.
Here at Polly's we're celebrating 13 Days of Halloween but this is no problem as green is now accepted as a Halloweeny color!
I chose the Eerie Tale collection to coordinate with a green and orange theme because all the beautiful roses in the patterned papers have leaves!

I created a multilayered bow with the green plaid from the assortment on top and a vintagy button to accent.
Flowers with a vintagy patina are the perfect finishing touches. I've got this arrangement filled in with more loopy twine bows and die cut leaves.

~Really Reasonable Ribbon~ October Ribbon Club Assortment, Black Burlap String, Sweetheart Blossoms Orange, Black Open Roses.

Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

Give Thanks Bag

Autumn is in the air!  
The days are cooler and the rich autumn colors are painting the landscape.  My thoughts turn toward family time together.  Meals together, lively conversation and cards played around the table.
It's fun and easy to create these Give Thanks Bags to hold silverware for your special get together's or some sweet treats for that special someone.
I used a canvas bag, fabric leaves and beautiful ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The beautiful Moss Cream Plaid Ribbon and Natural Burlap String added a soft fall touch to this bag.

Hope you enjoyed another fun and easy project.

Follow Your Heart

Don't you just LOVE ribbons🎀??  I know that for me, they are pretty much a necessity in crafting.  Very rarely do I create a card (or anything else for that matter) that doesn't include a ribbon or bow of some sort.  I just really enjoy the warmth and texture that ribbons, bows, twines and trims add to our works of art.  Really Reasonable Ribbon is the perfect place to find every color and style of ribbons and trims, and SO much more.
I created this card to share with you today.  It's a perfect example of how truly AMAZING all the products at Really Reasonable Ribbon are.  I started with a cardstock base and added a piece of patterned paper that I topped with another smaller strip of patterned paper.  I attached half of a tea-stained doily underneath the strip.  The sentiment is a chipboard piece that I picked up recently at Tuesday Morning in a package for just $1.99.  It's always exciting to find perfect little treasures at Tuesday Morning.  But hey.....I couldn't stop there!  The touches from Really Reasonable Ribbon are what make this card truly special.
I attached a width of Silver Seam Binding across my card and attached a 16mm Pearl Heart Shaped Ribbon Buckle Slide to it.  Next, I tied a bow with the Silver Seam Binding, and a length of the lovely Blue Jay Seam Binding and Summer Rose Seam Binding.  I also tucked in a length of Navy Burlap String, some Double Head Stamens and I must say.....these AMAZING precious little accents are almost gone.  I don't know if they'll be restocked, but I know you will LOVE them as much as I do.  You really should grab what's left before they are gone.
I topped my bow with a beautiful Yellow Cherry Blossom and stuck in a couple of pins for accent.  There's also a sweet little 11mm White Heart Shaped Flatback Imitation Pearl next to the sentiment.  I also tucked in three different Mulberry Leaves including a 35mm Green, a  30mm Green & White, and a new 25mm Green/Yellow/White Leaf. There are so many cute Embellishments in the RRR Shop in addition to all the Seam BindingMulberry Flowers, and SO much more.  Cute, cute, cute!  That's what you'll find at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Please visit again soon and often so that you won't miss out on any new products, loads of inspiration, special sales and promotions, our monthly blog hop, plenty of good shopping, and so much more.

Blessings,
Karen

Fabulous Fall Ribbons

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Fall has to be my favorite season of the year.  Crisp apples, crunchy acorns, colorful pumpkins and fluttering leaves make me happy, happy, happy!  To use up some of my stash of retired fall ribbons, I decided to create a fabulous fall stash buster of a mini album all tied together with fabulous fall ribbons from RRR.



This is a 5" x 7" chipboard cover, O-Ring bound mini album with a mixed media cover.  I've combined about 4 different paper collection from different manufacturers with dies, flowers, brads, buttons, and burlap.  To tie all these elements together, I used gorgeous fall ribbons.


In addition to the ribbons in the September Ribbon Club Assortment, you'll find Autumn Diamond Print Grosgrain Ribbon and Noble Peacock Seam Binding tied to the O ring binding.  I love the way these vibrant ribbons resemble fluttering fall leaves, don' t you?

The album is loaded with flips, flaps, inserts, tags, mini folios and other goodies.  To help you get a feel for all the album features, I've prepared a little Youtube video tour.  I share lots of tips that you can use in your own crafty adventures here.



I hope I shared some tips and tricks that you can use in your own crafty adventures!

Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,
