Friendship Calling Card Folio

 

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  The February Ribbon Club Assortment has such pretty purple ribbons!  And this Light Orchid Diamond Satin ribbon is the perfect adornment for this pretty purple card! 

Purple can be a hard shade to match.  So I added lots of different shades to the front of this card.  A bit of Gold Metallic String tucked into the bow cluster makes the gold foil elements in the paper really pop.

I also  love to find ways to use ribbon inside my cards.  Light Orchid Swiss Dots Satin serves as a pretty closure for this flap page.  Simply attach the ribbon to the back side of the page using Scor-Tape before you glue it down to the card base. 

I hid a pocket behind the flap, then tucked in a purply tea bag. 

Then I tucked a little bookmark and some treats in the bottom pocket for a sweet finish.

How do you feel about purple? I find I really enjoy working with various shades of purple...especially when I can add such lovely ribbons to the mix!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

Sweet Fairy Lili Wishes

 Hello everyone and Happy Friday to you all! Today I have a super sweet card I designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using lots of fun supplies. I've been sorting through my craft room and pulling some older stamps out as I would like to start using them and today I have Fairy Lili to share.

Of course I love lots of layers and chose this new stack I got from Echo park called Carta Bella Summer stack. I did three layers of design papers, one doily cut out, then the sweet Lili Fairy is my 4th layer. Next I used the sentiment I had with her, and stamped up Stampin' Up! frame, and used the matching punch to punch it out. 

Embellishments are my flowers, heart, leaves and ribbon. I had so much fun designing this card, can't wait to share my next one. Hope you enjoy my post for today.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies:

• Pink and Yellow Rose buds
• Mini pastel sweetheart blossoms
• 15mm open roses baby pink
• Heart embellishment
• Scor-Tape 1/4"
• foam tabs
• Satin Swiss dots Wild Rose
• other supplies : Carta Bella design paper, Bazzill card stock, Copics to color, Stampin' Up! punch and frame stamp, Inky Impressions stamps, sewing, hot glue , Cheery Lynn dies, metal leaves, 

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all, Cheryl

Using Baker's Twine

Hi there, friends.  It's Karen here again.  Those of you who know me best are aware by now that I absolutely LOVE Baker's Twine.  You also likely know that I tend to tie it around many (most) of my cards and projects.  I simply can't resist.  Baker's Twine is an incredibly affordable trim  - at just ten cents per yard - and it comes in so many beautiful colors included stripes and solids.  I tend to use it a lot because I know I can always find the perfect color to accent every project.

The black base was cut using a Triangle Cover Plate and I stamped my card using a (retired) Papertrey Ink Stamp Set called Petite Pots (also retired).  I used several colors of Tim Holtz Oxide Inks to stamp all the pretty pots, stems and flowers.  I wanted the stamping and sentiment to be the focal points of the card.  By adding Baker's Twine, I can give my card that depth and texture it needs without overwhelming the beauty of the stamping.  It's always a perfect touch.

The card is very simple, but it still need just a bit of trim and I thought the Solid Plum Baker's Twine and the Solid Black Baker's Twine were the perfect touches for this sweet card.  I can still easily slide this card into a mailing envelope.  That's yet another reason why I love Baker's Twine so much - you can still mail cards that use Baker's Twine.  Another reason to LOVE Baker's Twine.

I made a quick and easy matching tag for this card so that the recipient could use it as a bookmark.  I stamped the same floral images as on the card using the same PTI Petite Pots Stamp Set.  As I did with the card, I wrapped the tag with some beautiful Baker's Twine.  This includes some of the Solid Plum Baker's Twine as well as some Solid Black Baker's Twine.  Thanks again for visiting, and don't forget to stop by the RRR Blog often for lots of great inspiration, news about sales and special promotions, and for all things RIBBON minded.  Have a creative week.

Saint Patrick's Day Greeting Card

 Hey there friends and crafty peeps! Ginny here to spread a little spring inspiration. I think we have shoveled for the last time of the year and I'm in the mood for warmer weather and spring holidays.

I created this card with fun and festive patterned papers, and a sweet retro inspired image.

Spacers and solid borders between the layers helps to keep this card from looking too busy.

Ready made and made by me are combined with glittery shamrocks, loopy twine bows and holiday netting. I finished the flower off with  perfectly coordinating stamens.

Valentines Decorated Mailbox

Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday to you all! Today I'm sharing a super fun Decorated mailbox I designed for my Granddaughter for Valentines Day. These are so much fun to do. I made 3 and will post the others this week as well.

Mailbox came from Walmart. I bought tons of them. I then decorated the box using design paper, and border punch trim, Really Reasonable Ribbons, and some die cuts, chipboard pieces for the names, embellishments 3-D. I used Scor-Tape to adhere the design paper & Border, then used the foam tabs for the heart die cut on the front and the side. I used hot glue to glue the ribbon around the front door part. Super fun!

On the side I used The Makers Movement heart shaker, the little princess is from Kadoodlebug designs cut on my cricut
