Valentine paper projects with cherry Nelson

How can it be the last Monday in January already? Cherry here to share some

  sweet Valentine paper projects today. All made for RRR blog.

I can never turn down a vintage image.  These sweet little kitty flair pins I have been saving are just another favorite.

this card called for some polka dots so I added Circus Dots In blue

I also added some vintage pom pom fringe to the inside and let it peek out from the bottom.

The inside I also added a paper border and a gold "love you" sentiment.

So the full sentiment read "love you always".  I love to make the inside just as pretty as the outside.

My next project Is another fun gift ensemble.  Enjoyed making these this year. A little addicted to pinwheels. 

I go through phases.  I make a project.  Than make another.  I than forget about them, only to discover them again later.  Do you ever do that?  Kinda like rediscovering something all over again.

I added some lace to this pinwheel.

I used http://pink satin ribbon on my bag. 

Thanks for stopping by my crafty decor friends here at the RRR blog!  xoxo, cherry

On The Menu....Peppermint Candy

Hey there, everyone!  Welcome by today as I (Karen) share an extra sweet card I created using lots of fabulous products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I used some older Crate Paper (Peppermint) patterned papers, chipboard and stickers.  When I saw that chipboard sentiment (Peppermint Candy), I knew right away that I wanted to add a real peppermint stick or candies to  my card.  I attached my patterned papers using a fabulous Adhesive called Scor-Tape, and I inked the papers' edges and then machine stitched around the upper edges.

At the center of my card (or just below center actually), I added a "menu" journalling card and half of a white doily; and then I ran a width of Baby Pink Seam Binding across my card.  I tied the bow with more of the Baby Pink Seam Binding along with some Bay Leaf Seam Binding, and a bundled length of Red Burlap String.  There are also lots of my very favorite Embellishment of all....loads of gorgeous Red Double-Head Stamens, White Double-Head Stamens, some Baby Blue Double-Head Stamens, and even a few Aqua Double-Head Stamens cascading through my bow to highlight that sweet peppermint stick.

I topped that sweet bow cluster with some beautiful Open Red Roses, and some Open Roses in pinks from the lovely Mixed Pinks 10mm Open End Roses.  All the pinks in this sweet set are absolutely GORGEOUS...just like all the wonderful Mulberry Flowers found in the RRR Shop.

Thanks again for stopping by today.  I hope you'll be sure to stop by the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog for even more fabulous inspiration and for updated information about special sales and events (such as our monthly Blog Hops) taking place.  We always love to have you visit, and we're happy to answer any questions.

Stamperia Baby Girl Shaker Card

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Today I have a pretty in pink Baby Girl Shaker card to share with you

Pearl Pink Satin Swiss Dots Ribbon looks fabulous with this vintage style shaker card.  I tied my double loop bow with a little help from my Zutter Bow it All Tool, then topped the ribbon with Ivory Burlap String and a posy. Ivory Burlap String.

The ribbon does double duty inside the card, serving as a closure for the little accordion folio.

Swiss Dot Satin comes in wide range of colors and widths, so chances are good you can find just the right shade to go with whatever collection you are working with.  You can never have too much ribbon!

Thanks for stopping by!  

Cheerio,

Love Note Box

Hi friends! Linsey here today sharing a fun project that is sure to give you all the heart eyes!!! It's easy and great for the whole family. Spread the love this Valentine's season with your very own love note box!

I started with a 4x4x4" cardboard box and altered it with some pretty Valentine's patterned papers on each side. Next, stickers and sentiments were added for more interest and 4 metal feet were placed to the bottom, with a crystal-style knob on the top. The idea is that you put the box in a family-friendly spot in the house, like the kitchen. Add blank note cards and a pen, then encourage the family to write a note of support, encouragement and love to someone else at anytime, then place note inside the box. Family members will be excited to check the box daily and see who left them a little bit of love! Such a fun and easy way to bring the family together this Valentine's Day! 

I added some gorgeous Poppy Red Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon and made each strip into a big bow, then layered them and added another bow made from 3/8 Inch Black Gingham Ribbon a top of that. Finally, I added 2 strips of Black Burlap String tied into a double bow to a decorative button and placed it in the center of the triple bow. The results are beautiful! Ribbon always adds the final touch to a great project, don't you think? I sure do! 

And that's all for me! I hope you've enjoyed my project and feel inspired to make a love note box or something similar for you and your family too! Until next time, happy crafting! 

Sweet Fox Valentine Candy Pocket

Hello everyone and Happy Friday to you all! Today I have these darling Candy Fox Heart Pockets I made using all heart shape die cuts, and Really Reasonable Ribbon, and embellishments.  I made 12 of these to give at our Doll Club Meeting for February, for a Valentine's Day exchange. I thought they would be cute and fun to give to the ladies. I really enjoyed making these, and thought next time I will have to try to make some Kitty Cats maybe, they would be super cute too!

To start with I cut out 24 large hearts, remember they are pouches to hold a candy, so the back is the same as the front. I then glued the edges together to create 12. Next I took a smaller heart and cut 12 white for the fox's face, and cut it in half, and then cut a little off of it, and glued it down to the top. I thought, wouldn't it be darling to have the eyes heart shaped as well, so I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's Heart Shaped Pearls, and then added the black to the centers. Now if you have those black pearls really small, you can use those, but I had the viva pen, and used it. The tip isn't working so well on it, so the dots don't come out as great as they used to, but it worked., Next I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's White 8mm pearl, and colored it black for the nose. The ears I used 2 different sizes of hearts, and then made 2 different bows and added a flower to the center. Love making these darling foxes, they were so fun. Next I am going to try to make some kitty cats, I think they would be so darling too!

Bee Tag Greeting Card

Hello there friends and crafty peeps! I'm still having such a great time working with the Spring Farmhouse Collection from Prima.

This patterned paper coordinates perfectly with the Light Gray Wrinkle Ribbon.

I am sooo in love with this plaid paper.

I went for a double bow for a luxe look. More is better after all.

Layers of flowers with die cut foliage creates a nice full arrangement.

This gorgeous bee image is part of the journal cut aparts. I cut it into a tag shape and added it over a crisp white die cut doily, vintage button, bee charm, and sequins.

~Really Reasonable Ribbon~ Light Gray Wrinkle Ribbon, Ivory Burlap String.

Wishing  everyone a happy and productive day : ) G
