Happy Birthday to You Card

Hello friends.  I don't know about you, but I feel like I can never get ahead with birthday cards!  Now is the perfect time to make some to put aside for your future needs and don't forget to stop by Really Reasonable Ribbon for all your ribbon and mulberry flower needs!

I created a 5-1/2" square top fold card created with my usual layered look. My digital sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point with a layered strip of ribbon running under it.  I topped it off with a pretty double loop bow and I added a few pretty Mulberry Rose flowers along the bottom of the sentiment panel.

I finished of the inside of my card with one of the sentiments from the Birthday Greetings 2 'for the inside' Digital Stamp set.  This set makes it a breeze to finish of the inside of your cards!

Our sister company 'Bonnie Garby Designs' is offering a large variety of digital sentiment stamps and svg files.
You can find all of the sets at Bonnie Garby Designs, or the bonniegarbydesigns Etsy shop.







My card is topped off with a pretty bi-color double loop bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool using two colors of Delicate Stitched Satin ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The center of the bow is finished off with a pretty acrylic daisy flower bead.

Cold Hands, Warm Heart Winter Tea Party in a Box

Simple Stories, Winter Woods, Really Reasonable Ribbon, Tea Party in a Box, Kathy Clement

 Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  A winter tea party is a great way to warm up, so I built one into this sweet Victorian style card.  And what could possibly be more Victorian than a poufy Pink Taffeta Ribbon Bow?  

Really Reasonable Ribbon, Simple Stories, Winter Woods, Kathy Clement, Tea Party in a Box
Bakers Twine is always a great addition to a bow cluster.  It comes in loads of color options, but this pink and brown twist is the perfect pairing for this card. 



I've used ribbon inside my Tea Party in a Box, too.  It makes a pretty closure for the waterfall feature on the top half of the card.  Attach the ribbon to the back of the waterfall with a little bit of Scor-Tape, then wrap it around to the front and tie a bow.  Easy peasy! 

Gift wrap your tea party goodies with leftover bits of paper.  Then dress them up with White Satin and Pink Taffeta Ribbon.  You'll be sure to warm someone's heart with a sweet gift like this.

Stay warm and cozy!

xoxo'x Valentine treat bag

 
Hello crafty friends and happy Tuesday to you all! Today's Valentines confectionery treat bag was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the gorgeous ribbons and embellishments. 



To start I used a die to cut out my confectionery bag, and then used some design paper to run across the center. Next I punched out a heart border and glued it down using scor-tape, and then added some of the beautiful Satin Swiss dot ribbon over the border. Next I added some heart shaped filigree die pieces, and my darling Valentine Fox from Kadoodle Bug Designs. To finish off the front I added the pretty pink ribbon bow with a flower embellishment in the center, a heart embellishment to the top left corner, and then a wood heart with the xoxo heart. These are super fun to create and perfect little gifts to give.

Thank you so very much for stopping by and have a lovely day!
hugs to all,

What's Up Chickie?

 Hello, friends.  It's your friend Karen posting here today.  Welcome by today and thanks for stopping by to take a peek at this sweet card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon.  No matter what I'm making, I can always count on Really Reasonable Ribbon to have the perfect ribbons, trims, laces and twines to match.  This card was a lot of fun to make; and I knew, as always, that RRR had the right textures and colors to match what I was using.
I started with basic blue cardstocks, and I used the top (lighter) one along with a brand new background die-cut to make that fun diagonal pattern.  Next, I stamped and cut the sheep and the chicks using some cute stamp/die sets from Paper Sweeties.  The sentiments are also from Paper Sweeties, and they're stamped onto a Fishtail Banner Die from Stamp Simply.

piece of the 1.5" Grey Netting across my card to give some fabulous color and texture.  The next trims I added include a length of White Sharon Crochet Lace and a length of Striped Gray Grosgrain Ribbon.  I tied a bow with the White Sharon Crochet Lace and topped that bow with a piece of Cotton Candy Baker's Twine and some Pink/Brown Twist Baker's Twine.  I tucked in several beautiful Double Head Stamens in various colors.  The final touch was a beautiful Baby Blue Mulberry Flower.  Like I said, you can always find the perfect accents at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  If you're ever looking for a really fabulous Adhesive, I use lots of Scor-Tape which a great double-sided tape that comes in a variety of widths and holds things securely in place.
There are some really exciting new things happening over at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I hope that you'll stop by the RRR Blog to check out all the things we have planned for 20023.  A new "Sister Company" and as always, LOTS of fabulous ribbons and trims among so many other things.  And be sure to join us on the 13th of every month for our FUN Blog Hops.  We look forward to seeing you again soon at Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Blessings,
Karen
