I Hope This Perks You Up

Hello!  I welcome you by today as I share a fun card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon.  There are SO many fabulous products at Really Reasonable Ribbon; and I'm not just talking about their hundreds of fabulous ribbons.  They also carry Adhesives, Mulberry Flowers, Embellishments, Hair Accessories, the fabulous Ribbon Club Assortment and SO much more.  You can visit their fabulous store here at Really Reasonable Ribbon Shop.

This card started with a piece of white cardstock.  Next, I used oxide inks and a polka dot stencil to create my golden background.  Once my base and background were all in place, I started adding several other FUN things to my card.  I cut the owl, sentiment, coffee drink and sentiment; and laid everything out at the bottom of my card.  Everything is secured with strips of Scor-Tape.

At the top of my card, I ran a width of Mare Brown Seam Binding and I used that to tie my bow as well. I tucked in some Yellow, Red, and Gold Double Head Stamens as well as some Mulberry Leaves.  I topped the bow with some Deep Ivory and Orange Open Roses.  All these gorgeous products work together to help make your projects extra special.  You're sure to find something you'll LOVE when you stop by Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Farm Fresh Pumpkins Greeting Card

 Hey there friends and crafty peeps! Ginny here with a farm house style Fall inspired greeting card.

I love the warm rich colors of this card. Perfect for Fall or Thanksgiving.

I've combined a pretty plaid with a stylized floral and layered on some polka dots.

There's a double layer of matting here. The orange coordinates with the patterned papers but was a bit too light so I added the chocolate brown to anchor the layers.

Here's a garden full of WOC Mulberry flowers arranged with die cut foliage, netting, loopy twine bows, and glitter cardstock.

One last sweet little twine bow and vintage button to top off the strings tying on the metal charms. 

Please enjoy this tutorial...

Combining the Colors of Fall blank Card by Cherry Nelson

Hello RRR peeps!  Cherry here today to share a pretty card...that kinda combines the colors of late Summer and early Fall.  

I used a combination of deep oranges, greens, and hints of blues. I really love the way it turned out.

 I struggled a bit with whether or not to add a sentiment.  I really think sometimes cards should just tell a story and the inside can be the place to add a personal sentiment.  Blank cards are always a great thing to have on hand so they can be used for a number of occasions.  

Many of the flowers were handmade by me.  I used a Copic marker on my ivy and did a bit of shading for depth.

Well my friends that is it for me!  Stay crafting and creative!  XOXO, Cherry

The Splendor of Fall Card Recipe

Hello, Friends!  Today I have a recipe for a pair  of "twin" fall cards that use ribbon...but not bows!

Ribbon doesn't always have to be tied into a bow.  For these cards, I created an elegant border with 5/8" Cappuccino Satin with a Grosgrain Edge Ribbon.  Attach the ribbon with 1/2" Scor-Tape.  Leave the ends slightly longer than the card panel.  Then wrap the ends around to the back side of the card for a neat and tidy finish.

No room for a bulky bow?  Fold a 4" piece of ribbon in half.  Cut fishtails on the ends.  Then tuck beneath a floral arrangement to add a touch of color and texture.  This Sunflower Satin Ribbon is a match made in heaven for these Splendor papers. Add a touch of rustic charm with  loopy Burlap String Bows.

The great thing about having card "recipe" is that you can use it as a template for cards made with any of your favorite paper collections and ribbons.  Here's the recipe for this card design.

All the papers for this card come from the Splendor 6x6 Paper Bundle.

• First, create a 5 1/2" square top fold card base from one sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" kraft cardstock.
• Next cut a 5 1/8" square of the fall plaid pattern. Save the off cut of this panel.
• Cut a 5 1/4" square of yellow cardstock and a 5 3/8" square of brown cardstock.
• Then cut a 2 1/2" x 5 1/8" panel of the fall pumpkins.
• Now layer the cut papers on the cardstock mats as follows:
  • First put down the fall plaid paper panel.
  • Next layer in the offcut from the fall plaid paper about 3/4" from the left hand edge.
  • Then add the fall pumpkin layer.
  • Now stitch the panels to the cardstock mats on your sewing machine.

TIP: Steer clear of a sticky situation by placing your adhesive in the center of each panel and away from the sides.  This way, your sewing machine needle will not get gummed up and your thread will not break.

• Now you are ready to wrap the card panel with your Scor-Tape and Ribbon.
• Die cut two Doily Rounds from cream cardstock and adhere in the center of the card.
• Then punch out the oval sentiment from the Cardstock Elements sheet.  Back with two layers of dimensionals and adhere in the center of the doily.
• Add flowers, rhinestones, ribbons and vintage buttons to finish the card design.

TIP: You can use handmade flowers, or pre-made flowers.  Both are gorgeous. Find a tutorial for making these sunflowers HERE.

Now we will finish the inside of the card.  It's easy, peasy!

• First, cut (2) 5 3/8" panels of designer paper and adhere to the top and bottom of the card.
• Next, create a pocket with the rectangular die cut sentiment from the Elements sheet. Just place your adhesive on the sides and bottom.
• Create a belly band with a 1 3/4" x 5 3/8" strip of the pumpkin pattern.  Adhere just the top and bottom edges to the fall check.
• Mat a 3x4 journal card on a 3 1/4" x 8 1/2" panel of cardstock.  Score in half and fold to make a little notecard to tuck inside the belly band.

This "Twin" card is made in exactly the same way as the first card.  Just change out your patterned This"Twin" card is made in exactly the same way as the first card.  Just change out your patterned papers and sentiment.  Here's a look at the details.

Now that you know how to put these cards together, it will be quick and easy to make more!  

Wishing you all a joyful and creative day!

Cheerio,

kathy
