Cottage Cuties..

For our RRR July Blog Hop, please click HERE.

Hi there peeps!  Got a couple of fun projects to share today here at RRR.  I created another cute milk cap tag and I embellished a rustic galvanized envelope, perfect size for a gift card.  I adorned them with washi tapes, sweetheart blossom, chipboard pieces, digi papers and scraps.  I used lipstick red seam binding, plaid ribbon in red, and cherry baker's twine.  Both would be adorable pinned to a mason jar as a topper!  Hope your Summer is going good! That is about it!
Thanks for visiting, Cherry

Elegant Wedding with a Pop of Color

Hi there crafty peeps!  I am back today to share a simple but elegant wedding card I created for friends of mine in their upcoming wedding colors.  The main colors are black, white, and gray with pops of lime green and aubergine.

I stamped a sentiment stamp from Stampin' Up on black cardstock and heat embossed it with WOW white detail embossing powder.  I matted it on lime green and aubergine cardstock.  I then matted that onto patterned paper from Teresa Collins.  I tied Green Apple Delicate Stitched Satin ribbon and Black Ric Rac around the top of the card.  I created a double layered single loop bow with the same Green Apple Satin Ribbon and placed it on top of the card as well.  I adhered all of this to a white A2 cardstock base.  Finally, I added a line of Perfect Pearls in white to the bottom for an accent.  I hope you enjoy this card and have a lovely day!

Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings

Now, be sure to leave some love at all the stops along the way. Your comments are most appreciated!

At the end of the hop, comment on this post answering the question below for a chance to win our July Ribbon Club assortment shown below.

Our question of the month is:

What is your latest 'must have' crafting gizmo or tool?
Well, I think by now you all know that mine is the Bow-it-All.  IF yours is the Bow-it-All too, that's great (I really don't know how it couldn't be!!), but tell me what else you are itching to get your hands on too - it doesn't have to be ribbon related.

Our winner will be selected from the numbered comments on this post on Thursday, 7/16. Be sure to check back on Thursday evening to see if you are our lucky winner.

Thanks so much for hopping with us today. We hope you'll stop by and so some shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon soon.

It's a Good Day to Have a Good Day!

Hi friends.  It IS a good day to have a good day, right?  I love a good inspirational quote paired with a really fabby bow made with great ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I created the bow for this card using two of the white ribbon styles from the July Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon using my Bow-it-All V2.0.  It's fun to create a bow using one color and two different ribbons styles as opposed to two different colors of ribbon.  You can find my video tutorial for this bow on YouTube HERE.  You'll be surprised just how easy it is!

The July Ribbon Club assortment contains 9 styles and 17 yards of ribbon and trim.  

This is a really great assortment as a base for your ribbon collection as black and white go with everything!  Each monthly assortment is a fun color or holiday themed assortment of coordinating styles.  JOIN TODAY and begin with this fantastic assortment.  What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and experiment with lots of different ribbon styles.

White on white is not and easy color theme for me, but I will continue to work at it to see if I can improve.  I have to tell you that I was itching to put a thin black border around each layer.....  I still want to tear it apart and do that...... but I won't.  Ha!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  For more information on the other products used on my card, please visit my Make Time to Craft Blog.

You Bewitch Me Card

Hello there Paper Peeps! It's Ginny's turn to share and let me first start by saying..I know it's not Halloween. And yes I know this is a Halloween-ish card. But I just got the new Rare Oddities paper from Graphic 45 and it's such a perfect match to the awesome trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon I couldn't help myself.

 Black and purple and green are the new norm when it comes to Halloween and that's okay by me because I just love the combination. This card is fairly simple....but the patterns and flowers make it look like it has loads of detail.

 This bow is created with Black Satin Swiss Dots and it's just scrumptious with pretty little coordinating Petaloo flowers layered on top.  I also added a little loopy bow of Violet Burlap String.

I layered a few inked and felt doilies here to bring the color up to the top of the card. The inside is finished as well.

Okay that's all for me...wishing you all a happy and productive day with lots of time to be creative : )

Using Up Your Stash

One color that I don't use often, or even wear much for that matter, is ORANGE.  I'm sure that you all, just like me, have many patterned papers in your stash that need to be used up.  I decided to start using some of those older, neglected items.  Really Reasonable Ribbon has the perfect ribbons, trims and embellishments to help you use up those items you've been meaning to use.  I ordered some Really Reasonable Ribbon's beautiful ORANGE ribbons, trims and flowers to create these two cards.

Both cards are quite similar.  I alternated two OLD patterned papers that had orange polka dots on them, and machine stitched them together.  Next, I stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment on them and die-cut the sentiment spot.  Then.....the fun part - the ribbons!  I used some lovely items from Really Reasonable Ribbon including their gorgeous (and super "on-trend" )3/4" Orange Chevron Striped Twill, Melissa Natural Crochet Lace, Cream Seam Binding and then adorned it with Deep Ivory Open Roses and Orange Open Roses.  I also added a tiny little tag (party time) with a pearl stick pin and a sequin.

My second card includes all the same ribbons as mentioned above, but also includes Dusty Olive Seam Binding and Antique Gold Burlap String as well as a 30 mm Wild Orchid Crafts Mulberry Paper Green Leaf.  It's SO fun using coordinating ribbons and trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon to help me use up all the neglected items in my stash.  I encourage you to place an order at Really Reasonable Ribbon today for some ribbons and embellishments to help you use up of those forgotten colors in YOUR stash.

Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to link up in our current challenge.

Don't Be Afraid to Combine Different Ribbons by Jenn Cochran

Hi everyone!  Welcome to Really Reasonable Ribbon!  Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!  Today I am featuring a card with several ribbons that are all different textures.  I wanted to show you all how you can combine different types of ribbon and still achieve a fun greeting card.

I have used Gingham Orange Micro ribbon.  It is 1/4" and is super easy to make a multi-loop bow.  I added it on top of Canvas Color Band with Stitch Edge-Royal Blue.  I also wrapped my card in Satin with Silver Metallic Edges-Tangerine.  I found that layering these very different ribbons has really added a lot of extra texture!

Hope you have a great day!  Thanks for joining me!
