The Will of God Card by Cheryl

 Hello Ribbon Lovers and Happy Friday to you all! Today I have a super sweet card I designed using Really Reasonable Ribbon's Seam Binding, Flowers, and Adhesives. I love working with RRR Seam Binding as it's so much fun. I love ruching it up and using it in different ways. Today I have ruched up the absolutely gorgeous Sweet Grape Seam Binding.  I hope you enjoy my post for today.

On my card for today I used several layers.  Of course by now you know me and my layers, never just one or two....hehehehe.  I have been pulling out some of my old sentiment stamps, trying to use them as they've been put away for far too long. Anyway, this one is one of my many favorites.  I stamped it in black ink, and then distressed around the edges with a purple ink. Next I picked some of the beautiful flowers that Really Reasonable Ribbon carries and hot glued them on, over my ruched up seam binding. I love how it turned out for today. I also chose to add one of the heart embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I added some die cut swirls for the flowers.  Lastly I added crystal dots to each of the corners of my card.

Choose Happy Farmhouse Garden Slimline Shaker Card

 

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!

Today we're going to take a stroll through a pretty Farmhouse Garden where bees and butterflies are buzzing, flowers are growing, and life is calm and peaceful!  Sound good to you?  


The June 2021 Ribbon Club Assortment is a perfect playmate for these Farmhouse Garden Papers.  I've created borders and bows with Tropic Diamond Satin Ribbon and Tropic Swiss Dot Satin Ribbon. Scor-Tape makes it so easy to layer these ribbons onto a card! 


A bit of Black Baker's Twine helps to anchor this bow cluster and keeps all these shades of aqua in line.


These black buttons positively pop off the page thanks to the Tropic Swiss Dot Satin Ribbon border.


Because this is a tea party in a box, I've wrapped the 3/4" spine with more of the Diamond Satin Ribbon.  It adds so much texture and subtle pattern to the inside of the card!

I've even used bits of leftover ribbon to dress up my gift wrapped treats!  It's always amazing to see how ribbon adds elegance and style where ever it is put to use!

I hope I've shared some tips and tricks with ribbon that you will be able to use.  Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

Good Times

Hello friends!  Karen here today.  If this card doesn't take you back to a sweet, innocent place in your childhood; I don't know what would.  Well, I guess that is if you grew up in the same era as I did.  Our school books contained the most darling illustrations and images.  That's why I've always been drawn to these vintage looking products.  I have lots of this particular company's papers, stickers, etc.; but they're out of business now so I cherish the few bins of it that I have left in my precious stash.
AND....when using my most cherished products from my coveted stash, there's no better way to adorn them than by using some of the FABULOUS products you'll find at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Just look at how these few little extra touches here and there jazzed up my little nostalgic card.  I attached the cardstock, woodgrain patterned paper and blue gingham patterned paper using Scor-Tape.  I also added a few small journalling/sentiment stickers.
I used a journalling card (with the bears and sentiment) as the focal point.  Yet, I knew this card needed and deserved a beautiful bow.  It started with a bow tied using Red Wrinkle RibbonSolid Bluebonnet Baker's TwineYellow Burlap String, Navy Burlap String and Green Burlap String.  I also tucked in several Double Head Stamens, a Mulberry Leave, and I topped it off with a pretty little Yellow Cosmo Daisy.  I also used lots of darling Green Mulberry Leaves and Multi-Color Mulberry Leaves that I spread about and topped with red prills to represent berries.
There are SO many great products at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  It starts with RIBBONS and trims, but it really is SO much more than just the oodles and oodles of wonderful ribbons and trims.  You can see how I always seem to find the perfect touches for every project at RRR.  They have every color of every lovely bobbit you can imagine.  They're sure to have exactly what you need for your next project.  Why not treat yourself today?

Blessings,
Karen

Hi All Occasion Greeting Card

 Hey there friends and crafty peeps! Ginny here with another all occasion greeting card created with some of my favorite flowers and trims from RRR.

So the story behind this card was a little clean out in my shop. I had what I like to call a "Paper Management Day"  I went through the embarrassingly high stacks of scraps both patterned papers and cardstock and organized them into clear sleeves so I can find slightly used prints and not run directly for a new sheet of paper.   Once I started piling up the blue patterns I was inspired to create a card with them!
 

To keep the over all effect of the card from looking too busy I added solid cardstock borders and a bit of wood grain print. 


Then of course I had to pile on all these glorious WOC flowers.  I've tucked in some stamped and colored flourishes and die cut foliage to create a generously sized arrangement. The icing on the cake? A perfectly coordinating bow of wrinkle ribbon : )


~Really Reasonable Ribbon~ Slate Blue Wrinkle Ribbon, Chrysanthemums, Rose Buds, Chelsea Roses.


Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G
