Oh Happy Day

Hi, everyone!  It's your ribbon-loving friend, Karen here today.  When I start creating any type of card or project, one thing I can always count on is that Really Reasonable Ribbon will have the perfect color, design, width, etc. of ribbon or trim that will work with it.  That's because they carry adornment of every kind in so many great styles and colors, widths and choices.  It makes it the FUN part of adorning our projects.  Really Reasonable Ribbon also carries great items like Scor-Tape and other AdhesivesEmbellishmentsMulberry Flowers and much more.
I don't often use a lot of yellow; but like I mentioned already, Really Reasonable Ribbon carries the perfect colors every time.  I challenge you to find a color that doesn't have a matching trim at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Seriously.  I used some older patterned papers from my stash and attached everything securely using Scor-Tape.  The little sentiment is from an Echo Park Spring Market stamp set.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
Across the middle of my card, I ran lengths of Moss/Cream Gingham Ribbon and the Maize Gingham Ribbon which are secured with pieces of Scor-Tape.  The Button card was stamped using an older stamp set from Papertrey Ink.  It's topped with some pretty Miniature Yellow Sweetheart Blossoms, a Pastel Green Apple BlossomSolid Mint Baker's Twine and Double Head Stamens.
Be sure to check all the amazing inspiration here on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog and stay up-to-date about special sales and promotions.  We're sure grateful for your visit here today, and we all hope you're having a creative week.  Thanks so much and happy crafting, everyone.

Blessings,
Karen

Proud To Be an American

Just one more day until we celebrate Independence Day here in the United States of America.  The 4th of July is a special day for our country, and it's an opportunity for each of us to thank God for all those who have served this great country to give us the freedoms and rights we enjoy today.  If we don't humble ourselves before God and start appreciating our country, all those rights and freedoms can be taken from us.  Be educated, friends.  America, as we now know and enjoy it, is worth protecting.  Let's celebrate our great country together and join in prayer for the future of our great country.  We truly are a blessed nation.
This simple patriotic card was created using a piece of watercolor paper that I rubbed with Tim Holtz crayons and then rubbed with my finger and a bit of water to "smudge" the colors in an attempt to create a flag in the background.  I used this as my backdrop and then cut the flag design using the Eyelet Rectangle Dies from Pretty Pink Posh.  I used the pierced holes created by this die-cut to add some Cherry Baker's Twine giving my border a POP of color.  My paper layers are held together using Scor-Tape.
I used the Patriotic Sentiment Stamp Set from Stamp Simply on my card.  This is a very simple card, but I wanted to show you all how quick and easy it is to create a fun card using Baker's Twine or other trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon to add accent and color to any project.  The Scor-Tape and 3-D Foam Tabs are everyday essentials for me (and for most crafters).  If you don't have a regular place to purchase your Adhesives - such as Scor-Tape and 3-D Foam Tabs, I hope you'll think of Really Reasonable Ribbon next time you need them.
I love how using 3-D Foam Tabs can give your cards added layers of paper that provide textures and charm like nothing else can do.  Incorporating fabrics, textiles, cardboard, etc. is always a cool touch; and Scor-Tape from Really Reasonable Ribbon will hold it all securely in place.  I hope my patriotic card today was a blessing and an inspiration to you, and all of us here at RRR wish you and your family a happy and blessed 4th of July.

Spread happiness,
Karen

Two Hearts, One Love

Hello, everyone!  It's your ribbon-loving friend, Karen Letchworth, posting today.  It's time for me to share another fun card showcasing some of the (many) awesome products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Making cards with ribbons, trims and twines has always been something I enjoy.  I like the textures and dimensions that they add to our cards, tags and projects.  Really Reasonable Ribbon carries every style ribbon, every width, every color and every choice imaginable.  They also carry items like Adhesives, Embellishments, Flowers and much more.
I used white cardstock and layered it with a pretty Kaiser Craft (Miss Betty) patterned paper.   To be honest with you all, I planned to machine stitch the edges of this card; but the bobbin was empty, and I was too lazy to refill it.  I placed half of a small white doily on the left side of my card.  I used lots of the fabulous Adhesive called Scor-Tape to attach all the papers and goodies securely in place.  The sentiment I used is from Bonnie Garby Designs and can be found in their Wedding Digital Stamp Bundle.
I attached a length of the beautiful Vivid Pink Seam Binding on the left side of my card covering the edge of the doily.  There are many lovely colors of Seam Binding, and it's very affordable at just 30 cents per yard.  You'll always find the perfect color(s) for every project.  On top of the Seam Binding bow, I added some Blueberry Baker's TwineWhite Metallic Iridescent String, two Wild Orchid 15mm Green Mulberry Leaves, and a lovely Ivory Open Rose.  I also strung the White Metallic Iridescent String around my sentiment, etc.
Thanks so much for visiting me here today, friends.  Your stops here at my blog always mean a lot to me, and I truly appreciate the relationships I've made with so many of you.  I love hearing your thoughts and input.  Oh, and be sure to come play along at Word Art Wednesday and other fun challenges.  You can always visit us here on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog for lots of great inspiration, too.  Happy crafting..... and add some RIBBONS!

Blessings,
Karen

With Freedom Comes Responsibility Patriotic Greeting Card

Today I am sharing a festive patriotic themed greeting card.  I embellished the card with some pretty ribbons and flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon


I created a 4-1/2″ x 6-1/4" card with loads of layers. My digital sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point.  I ran a piece of electric blue Satin with Grosgrain Edge Ribbon across the middle of the card and topped it off with a piece of Patriotic Random Stars Satin Ribbon.  I finished my card off with a pretty bi-color double loop bow and below the sentiment I have added some pretty Sweetheart Blossoms.


The sentiment on the front of my card is from my Patriotic Quotes Digi Stamp Bundle. The interior Sentiment is from the Note Card Sentiments for the Inside Digital Stamp Bundle. The background was created with my Geometric Overlay SVG Bundle. All my designs can be found on my Bonnie Garby Designs Etsy shop.

Our sister company 'Bonnie Garby Designs' is offering a large variety of digital sentiment stamps and svg files.  Below are the digital stamp bundles I used on my card today.

It's A Wonderful Day

Welcome by today, everyone.  It's your friend, Karen Letchworth posting today and I'm so glad you're here to visit us as I share a sweet card that's adorned with ribbons and tidbits from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  It's an otherwise quick and easy card to create, but the trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon just take it to the next level in my humble opinion.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this card.
I used basic white cardstock for the base and the top layer.  The top white piece was cut using a cool die called the A2 Lattice Die from Whimsy Stamps.  Once I attached everything, it was time for the FUN stuff.  I ran a piece of pretty Danish Blue Seam Binding across my card and used that to tie a double bow.  I also tucked in some bundled Ivory Burlap StringLight Blue Burlap String, two sizes of (White) Mulberry Leaves, some Double Head Stamens, and it's all topped with some Light Blue Sweetheart Blossoms.  I also tucked in a couple of stick pins for accent.
The sentiment and small heart are from Carta Bella's Spring Market Stamp Set.  I used the Fishtail Banner Die from Stamp Simply to stamp it on.  It's raised up using 3-D White Foam Tabs.  EVERYBODY NEEDS 3-D Foam Tabs and Scor-Tape Adhesive.  Just saying!  The patterned paper underneath the white cardstock is from the Fabulous Florals Paper Pack by Whimsy Stamps.  The really cool thing is this....no matter what COLOR I had chosen to make this (or any other) card, I know that I can always find the perfect color trims and more at Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Thanks again for visiting us here today.  Stay creative and be sure to stop here at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog again soon and often to find lots of great inspiration.  You'll always find the most amazing AdhesivesFlowers, ribbons, trims and more at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  We're grateful for YOU and for your visits, comments, RRR Orders and your friendship.  We all wish you an incredibly creative and wonderful week.

Blessings,
Karen
