Christmas Plaid Ribbon and Pretty Poinsettias

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Kathy here with one last Christmas in July project.  This one features my favorite Christmas Plaid Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. It comes in 3/8" and 5/8" widths so it's great for all kinds of projects.  This loopy bow is tied with the 5/8" ribbon.

One of my favorite things about this ribbon is the thin gold threads that run through it, providing just the right amount of sparkle and  shine.  The other thing that I love is the fact that the ribbon is soft and supple so it's easy to tie beautiful bows with it.  

TIP:  Dress up your bow with some rusty jingle bells and star anise.  Now the card doesn't just look good, it smells wonderful and sounds pretty, too. 

 Here's a peek at the inside.  There's room to write a message, and a cute tea wallet and honey stick tucked into the pocket.  I like to have a basket of these cards on hand to give as last minute gifts or stocking stuffers during the holidays.

Have you started Christmas crafting yet?  If so, be sure to check out the wide array of Christmas ribbons in the Really Reasonable Ribbon shop.

Wishing you all a joyful and creative day!

Picture Perfect Scrapbook Layout

I know that you all use ribbon on your cards, but 

have you ever used ribbon or twine in your scrapbook layouts?

Adding a simple scrap piece of ribbon or leftover twine can completely change your layout. 

Actually, it can elevate a pretty layout into a beautiful work of heart!

Howdy Ribbon Lovers! 

Misty (@Mommyofkidz) here today sharing a scrapbook layout featuring 

lots of beautiful treasures from the Really Reasonable Ribbon store.

These photos are from 2021-when this old lady lost her mind and gained a new last name.

Yes-I am that old lady. I was 45 in these photos 

and happier than I had been in many years.

I wanted to keep the focus on my dress and boots, so I chose a very 

muted color palette to work with. 

 I wanted to enhance the elegance of the photos while maintaining the country look.  Therefore, I mixed lace and gingham with pearls and roses...topped off with some burlap string for good measure.  This Collection by 49 & Market was perfect 

and matched effortlessly with the elements that I chose from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

The Sharon White Crochet Lace paired with the Bluebird Plaid Ribbon was a match made in heaven! I have been coveting both of these for quite a while in the RRR Store, and I finally broke down and added them to my order.  I absolutely adore this combonation and I will be using it more as I work with my wedding photos! I also tossed some mulberry paper flowers and Ivory burlap string into the mix, along with a few strategically placed flat back white pearls. 

When I put it all together, I realized that this was the perfect recipe and exact ingredients that I needed to maintain the integrity of my photos, while enhancing the beauty of the day.  The embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon complimented my layout and kept my photos "Picture Perfect". 

 Thank you all for stopping by today! Before you go, answer this one question...is there something over in the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store that you have had your eye on?  Is there a project that you want to use it on?  Stop waiting!  Today is the day to set your plans in motion! When you finish it up, drop a link in the comments, as I would LOVE to see! 

Thank You Card Duo

When it comes to making Thank You cards, you might as well make at least two if you're making one anyway.  Let's face it.....we are BLESSED and we have a lot of Thank You cards to write.  Anyway, I decided to make two quick and easy Thank You cards combining trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon and sentiments from Bonnie Garby Designs.  You can read more here on My Blog.

I used the Many Thanks 2 Digital Stamp Set from Bonnie Garby Designs for the sentiment on each card.  I love all the different fonts in Bonnie's sentiments.  I cut (several) postage stamp rectangles from white cardstock and gingham JilliBean Soup patterned paper.  I layered all these pieces of paper using pieces of Scor-Tape.

I used White 3-D Foam Tabs to raise up the sentiment pieces, and I ran the Solid Black Baker's Twine underneath them.  There are several awesome colors of Solid Baker's Twine and even more color choices in regular Baker's Twine.  This amazing trim is just TEN CENTS per yard.  That means you'll get TEN YARDS of any color for just ONE DOLLAR.  Oh, do you see that pretty White Lace in the photo background?  Well, there's still a bit left.  You can still grab some of this sweet trim before it's gone.

Be sure to visit the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog often for lots of great inspiration.  I'm always grateful for your visits to My Blog as well.  Oh, and don't forget to stop by Bonnie Garby Designs to check out all the awesome digital stamps.  They all pair so nicely with the amazing products you'll find at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Stay creative.

Blessings,

Winter Snow Globe Christmas Greeting Card

 Hey there friends and crafty peeps! Well I sure am enjoying crafting for Christmas in July.  Not only do I find it delightful to use the seasonal trims and embellishments but I also benefit from having a dig through my stash to see my inventory to determine what I have and what I need to source before the actual Christmas season come along. 

I've layered fussy cut images with die cut flowers on pretty seasonal printed paper then topped it off with ribbon and twine from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Christmas in July Scrapbook Layout using RRR

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all! DT Member Cheryl here today, and Im sharing a 2 page layout I did using Really Reasonable Ribbons Score-tape, foam tabs and some ribbon. 

So for today's fun layouts I chose to do no sewing. I normally use a lot of scor-tape when I don't sew on my pages as this is what I use to hold them together. When I do sew I use it to attach photos matts, main page to the back layer, and all my little pieces will have either scor-tape or foam tabs to hold them on.

Photos below show how I did it for this page here.

I also used the scar-tape for the pieces running through the middle of my pages. For the little kids I used foam tabs.

The Really Reasonable Ribbon I chose to use is the crosshatched satin found here  , love how it looks on both of my pages. Now for the trees, title, reindeer, and reindeer kid these are all SVG's Ive cut on the cricut and pieced together.

I do hope you enjoyed my post today and thank you so much for stopping by! Hugs to all, Cheryl
