Sent From My Heart

Hey there, sweet blog friends.  Welcome by today as I, your friend Karen Letchworth, share a card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I always enjoy adding all those special little touches to my cards and projects that make them so memorable, and Really Reasonable Ribbon always has just what I need.  My card started with a simple kraft paper base and a piece of corrugated cardboard.  I inked everything generously, and I stamped some backgrounds onto the kraft paper.

I ran a length of Bluebird Plaid Ribbon up the left-hand side of my card, and slightly overlaid that with a length of Ivory Crochet Lace to create a soft colorful border and pop of color on the left side.  Next, atop these trims, I bundled some Natural Burlap String and topped it with a few pastel (pink and blue) Miniature Double Head Stamens.  And finally, I topped this little bundle with a sweet Light Blue Magnolia Flower.  I also attached a Rusty Pear-Shaped Safety Pin because they're SO cute.

The die-cut hearts I used are ones that have holes for hand-stitching.  So, in this case, I used the Natural Burlap String to lace my hearts.  You can also use Baker's Twine in any color which is also super cute in stitching dies.  The sentiment is from Paper Sweeties.  I also added a few prills, and obviously, I used a lot of ink on everything.

There's always something perfect for your next project at Really Reasonable Ribbon, and always lots of great inspiration on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.  We do hope you'll stop by to visit us here often, and that you'll treat yourself to a little shopping in the RRR Shop.

Blessings,

Karen

Believe in the Magic of Christmas Greeting Card

Hello there friends and crafty peeps! We are well into our first week of celebrating Christmas in July at Polly's Paper Studio and of course my holiday projects would just not be the same without my favorite trims from RRR,

This card has a beautiful layered bow created with the extra festive Taffeta ribbon, a loopy bow of Ivory Burlap String and a vintagy button.  I created the flowers for this card to coordinate perfectly with the patterned papers and finished them off with flower stamens from the shop.

Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

Buzzing Bees, Blooming Flowers and Beautiful Ribbon

Hello, Friends!  Here's a honey of a card to get your weekend started right!  I was first introduced to 5/8" Tan Satin Ribbon with  Grograin Edge in the May Ribbon Club Assortment.  Mark me down as a fan!  This great neutral shade seems to pick up on whatever colors you use it with, and it ties gorgeous bows!   I love the way it took on a honey tone in this bee themed card.

It also looks amazing when paired up with Natural Burlap String, another of my "go to" textiles. 

I've used my Zutter Bow-it-All Tool to create some tiny burlap bows beneath these cute wooden buttons, too.

Inside the card, I've create a couple of pockets and filled them with all sorts of goodies.

Pink Baker's Twine makes a great tag topper and picks up on the pink shades in the floral designer papers. 

 
I also stitched up a little bookmark to tuck into the card.  This is topped with Topaz and Light Silver Diamond Grosgrain Ribbon,  I've attached a pretty key with Metallic Iridescent String, too. 

Do you ever use ribbon on the insides of your cards?  I think it adds a lovely surprise. 

I hope I've shared some tips and ideas that you can use in your next crafty adventure.  Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,
kathy

Sweet Ribbons & Flower Card By Cheryl

 Hello Crafty Friends , hope you all are doing well! Today I have a super sweet card I made using Really Reasonable Ribbons Beautiful Flowers & Ribbons, and also their adhesive's  too. Absolutely LOVE all their ribbons and flowers.

 On my card today I started by picking this super darling design paper from my stash, I've had this design paper forever and lately trying to use some of the single sheets I have. I did up 3 layers and added my sewing using the sewing machine. Next I cut out one of the doilys from My Makers Movement, and then used the darling Lemonade Stand & Stamps also from Makers Movement. it was colored with copics, added stickles to the top, and then added some branches . Love how it all works together.

I chose to use the Beautiful RRR Chrysanthemums in white from the Mixed Purple pack, and then the pink from the Mixed Pastel 20mm open Roses, and the yellow Rose Buds is from the Mixed White Pack. Next I hot glued them to the Bows I had created using the Beautiful Bold Satin /W Grosgrain Edge Pearl Pink another Favorite of mine, and then the Satin Swiss Dots Lemon Ribbon. Both were done into bows and hot glued to my card.

Bold Satin with Grosgrain Edge Pearl Pink 5/8"

Having FUN With Really Reasonable Ribbon

Welcome by, everyone.  I hope you're having a great week, staying safe and healthy, enjoying family, and of course...and finding time to create lovely things.  The card I'm sharing with you today was created using several of my favorite products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I just love making things with their lovely products, and I'm always able to find the perfect match for everything I'm making.  Really Reasonable Ribbon really has it ALL.

I started with a white cardstock base and added two patterned papers which are both from Crate Paper.  The piece at the bottom was a scrap of painted paper I had on my craft table.  I just sorta pieced things together to create my base.  The stamped sentiment is from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The bow began with some Bay Leaf Seam Binding, and some bundled and knotted Solid Soft Pink Baker's Twine.  I tucked in several beautiful Double Head Stamens, and topped the bow with a Pale Green Open Rose, a Pale Pink Open Rose and a White Open Rose.  I sprinkled just a bit of glitter on the flowers.  And finally, I hung a metal heart from the bow using a Pear-Shaped Safety Pin.  I assure you that Really Reasonable Ribbon has all the trims and touches you're looking for, and that you will love everything you find there.  Thanks SO much for stopping by today.

Blessings,

Karen
