Thank You for 16 Wonderful Years

As I close Really Reasonable Ribbon, I want to take a moment to say thank you—from the bottom of my heart—for 16 truly wonderful years.

Your support, loyalty, and creativity have meant more to me than I can put into words. It has been such a joy to be a small part of your projects, your businesses, and your passion for crafting. I’m so grateful for each and every order, kind message, and connection made along the way.

While the retirement sale has come to an end, I do still have a small amount of inventory remaining. If you’re searching for a particular ribbon or item, please don’t hesitate to reach out via email. I’m happy to check what I may still have available.

I will be taking the summer off to recharge, but this isn’t a final goodbye. I do plan to continue liquidating additional ribbon later on this year, either through eBay or possibly a Facebook de-stash group.

If you’d like to stay in the loop for those future sales, be sure to follow Really Reasonable Ribbon on Facebook or sign up for the RRR blog email list.

And for those of you who are card makers and paper crafters, I’d truly love to stay connected. I will continue my Bonnie Garby Designs business, where I create digital stamps and SVG cut files. You can follow along for new designs, inspiration, and updates over on my Make Time to Craft blog.

Thank you again for being part of this journey. It has meant everything to me.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Bonnie

Cute Gift Toppers/Christmas Ornaments

Have you been seeing all the fabulous little ideas on Pinterest and Instagram lately for making cute little gnomes, gift tags/ornaments using Baker's Twine, Burlap String and various jutes and ribbons?  Well, I've seen them popping up in my feed everywhere.  I thought I'd give this quick and easy idea a try for myself.  It works well, it's super easy, and these little gift tag/gift toppers look so cute on packages under the tree.  And they can be used as an ornament if the recipient wants to keep them.  Isn't this a sweet idea?  And YOU CAN DO IT.  The trims I used are all ON SALE NOW at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Let me tell you.....if I can attempt these projects, believe me friends, you can do it too.  They were easy and fun to make.  I used a piece of scrap cardboard to draw different sized trees that I cut with my scissors.  I placed a small piece of Scor-Tape on the back of the cardboard tree to get started.  I attached a small loop (ornament hanger) to the top of each tree using Natural Burlap String.  The Santa ornament uses the same wrapping method of the Baker's Twine, and then the topper and beard are simple pom-poms which can also be done using Baker's Twine.

Next, I wrapped the base of each tree with more of the Natural Burlap String (TEN CENTS/yard) and I wrapped the top part of each tree with Solid Baker's Twine (SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS/yard).  I strung letters beads onto another small length of Natural Burlap String and placed it on the tree (to resemble hanging tinsel or garland on the tree).  This is a great way to add the name to your packages, and like I mentioned, it makes a darling ornament to save.  You can see in this photo (below) how I used a piece of Scor-Tape to secure the beads on the front of the ornament.  Yes, even the Adhesives are a bargain.

There are so many great trims at Really Reasonable Ribbon and the DISCOUNTS are amazing.  This is the perfect time to stock up on discounted trims, Adhesives, Mulberry Flowers, ribbons and more.  There's lots of fun ideas and inspiration on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog and that's where you'll stay up-to-date on special discounts as the Retirement SALE continues.  Be sure to stop by often.  We're here to help you find the perfect ribbons and trims for your next project.  Here's a photo (below) of one of the trees placed on top of a small package.  This will be tucked under the tree.

This really is the perfect time to grab some of these amazing ribbons and trims before the selection gets more limited.  As time progresses, the bargains will be greater, but the inventory will slowly dwindle. I'd highly suggest grabbing some Baker's Twine or some pretty Gingham Ribbons before they're gone.  There are SO many great choices at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  We hope you'll treat yourself.  Everyone else gets a gift at Christmas.  We're all SO busy shopping.  Don't forget to treat yourself, too.

Thanks so much for visiting me here today.  If you have the time, I'd LOVE to have you stop by my Instagram Page to FOLLOW me there as well.  It would really be a blessing to me.  It's HARD trying to grow your following on IG and I need all the help I can get.  So, thank you.  I truly appreciate all of you for your love and support.  You're the BEST and you all inspire me so much.

Blessings,

Karen

Sending Holiday Cheer

I have absolutely loved my time on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Design Team.  Adding ribbons, trims and twines to my projects is just something that I enjoy.  It adds so much texture and color to our cards.  And, hey, you can't make tags and other things without trims.  They're rather essential in crafting.  Items like Baker's Twine and Burlap String are SUPER affordable, and SO versatile in crafting.  Now is a great time to stock up on some really AMAZING DISCOUNTS on ribbons, trims and twines (among many other great things) at Really Reasonable Ribbon during their BIG RETIREMENT SALE.

I used a deep forest green cardstock to cut my base using the Stitched Rectangle Dies from Creative Worship.  I used their Postage Stamp Cover Plate Die to cut the next layer from vintage sheet music.  I cut some red cardstock to cover two of the openings, and I stamped those using the fun Going Postal Stamp Set.  The sentiment is also from Creative Worship and can be found in the Holiday Cheer Stamp Set.

Like I tend to do rather often, I piled a lot on here.  I'll try to mention everything I used.  The small coffee cups are from V's Sweet Ideas, the "cookie" is from Paper Sweeties, the bobbin and holly leaves are from PTI.  My ribbon treatment includes lots of great Baker's Twine which is now just $0.75/yard.  WOW!  What a bargain!  You'll find so many AMAZING DISCOUNTS right now at Really Reasonable Ribbon, and you'll want to stock up before the best colors are gone.  SO pretty!

I also tucked in some delicious Cherry Baker's Twine, Solid Red Baker's Twine, Ivory Burlap String and Iridescent String for a touch of shimmery sparkle.  Aren't all those wonderful textures just so cool?  I used 3-D Foam Tabs to raise up the dimensional items a bit.  Grab these awesome items now at bargain prices and stay ahead of things so that you don't run out of Adhesives, Mulberry Flowers, Stamens or other essentials.

Thank you so much for visiting today.  It's always a real blessing to have you stop by and leave your thoughts.  Why not treat yourself today?  Take advantage of these DISCOUNTED PRICES on all your favorite ribbons, trims and more.  Go on ahead, you deserve it.

Blessings,

Karen

Spreading Christmas JOY

It made me feel a little bit (or maybe a lot) sad when I first heard that Really Reasonable Ribbon is going out of business and having this BIG RETIREMENT SALE.  I've been on this Design Team for over 15 years, and I've really enjoyed it.  But when I heard WHY Really Reasonable Ribbon is going out of business, it made complete sense.  My friend, the amazing Owner of Really Reasonable Ribbon, Bonnie, has recently become a Grandma.  Am I allowed to say that here?  Ooops!  I just did.  

Her sweet new grandson has, rightfully, claimed a BIG piece of her heart.  For this reason, Bonnie has decided to close the doors of this AMAZING long-time business of hers.  But hey...who could blame her?  Certainly not me.  Those grandbabies are SO precious.  They grow up much too quickly; as we've all learned from raising our own kids.  She's not going to miss one single minute of this little guy's life, and I couldn't be any more excited for her.  It would be awesome for her to be able to SELL OUT of everything.  Can you be a part of this?  You'd not only be helping out a truly wonderful small-business owner, but you'd be able to really SAVE on lots of fabulous products.  This really is the time to stock up.

This means BIG SAVINGS for all of us.  Hurray!  It's the perfect time to stock up on Baker's Twine (currently $0.75 per yard) in many colors solid and striped or Seam Binding at $0.30/yard.  There are fabulous bargains on ribbons, adhesives, hair accessories, embellishments, mulberry flowers and much more.  The discounts are absolutely amazing, and this is the time to grab yours before the best things sell out (and they're going quickly).  I used an old Papertrey Ink Mitten Die to cut my mittens from wool felt.  I machine stitched them together.  The red wool felt border was cut using the Scalloped Border Dies from Creative Worship Stamps.

I used a leaf die to cut some green leaves from wool felt, and I hand-stitched those with DMC floss.  The word JOY was cut from the red wool felt using the Peace & Joy Word Dies from Stamp Simply.  I attached more of the hand-stitched leaves to the word as accents of color and texture.  I attached some rusty jingle bells using Solid Red Baker's Twine, Solid Ivory Baker's Twine and Cherry Baker's Twine.  ANYONE who places an order this month at Really Reasonable Ribbon and lets me know will receive a special prize from me personally (minimum value $20).  Promise!!  Just leave me a message on My Personal Blog, My Cup Runneth Over.

OK...what else?  I tucked in some Christmas candy sticks and a Starbucks gift card.  This little mitten could easily become a Christmas ornament by simple attaching a piece of Grosgrain Ribbon or Gingham Ribbon to the top left (where the bow is).  Easy!  By using RIBBONS, it's easy to create lots of great projects.  You've seen the darling Christmas Trees and sweet projects on Pinterest and Instagram that are created with trims, right?  Check out ←those links for some SUPER CUTE ideas for using Baker's Twine, Ric-Rac or Jute.  Don't wait!  NOW is time to really STOCK UP on these DISCOUNTED Ribbons, Trims and Twines to help you create ornaments and projects of all kinds.

Thanks for stopping by.  It really would be a blessing to Bonnie as well as to me personally to know that you stopped by Really Reasonable Ribbon to see if there's anything that might catch your eye during this Retirement Sale.  I appreciate you visiting, and of course as always, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this little mitten.  Really Reasonable Ribbon has so many great products still in stock to help you make something extra sweet.  And if you do end up making a purchase this month at Really Reasonable Ribbon, don't forget to let me know so that you can claim your extra BONUS GIFT from me (mentioned above).  Have a creative week and use RIBBONS!

Blessings,

Karen
