Thinking of You Christmas Shaker Greeting Card

Hey there friends and crafty peeps! I know we're still a bit away from Halloween but I just can't help myself but to play with the gorgeous trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon for Christmas!

Loving the brighter cheerful colors of this shaker Christmas greeting card.

 This is a mix of stash paper patterns combined with a new holiday image cut apart.  I think it's very sweet and whimsical.

I't's a standard 3 x 4 inch cut apart but the image in the center is smallish so I had plenty of room for my favorite layering bits.

These flowers are all handmade by me and have stamens from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

More flowers on this side for balance and a poofy bow topped with jingle bells as the perfect finishing touch!

~Really Reasonable Ribbon~ Chevron Striped Twill Celery, Ivory Burlap String, Flower Stamens.

Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

Decorated Jam Jars

Hi friends! Linsey here on this fine Wednesday sharing my homemade blackberry preserves all dressed up and ready to be given out! Summer may be over, but I still have plenty of blackberries stored in my freezer from my backyard bushes, which means lots of blackberry jam for friends, neighbors and family this year! I think homemade anything makes for a great gift and fruit preserves are on my short list!

I decorated the lids with pretty fabric squares and tied them up with some Ivory Wrinkle Ribbon. I really like the softness and slight crinkle this ribbon has. It works well with some many projects. I added some hand-stamped tags and attached them with Gold Metallic String. I topped each with WOC Burgundy Open Roses. I plan to add a jar of jam to all my holiday gift baskets this Christmas and I hope you might be inspired to make some homemade gifts this holiday season too! Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!

Snarky Masculine Birthday Card

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Do you struggle to find a way to use ribbon on a masculine card?   When I do, I look for textures and fabrics that make me think of men's ties and suit coats.  So for this slightly snarky birthday card, I chose to work with Shell Grey Shimmer Satin on the bow.  Top the bow with a grey button and a little birthday charm for the perfect finishing touch.

You can also layer a patterned ribbon, like this Black and Grey Diamond Print Grosgrain Ribbon over the same shimmer satin to create a stunning border treatment.  Simply place a layer of 1/2" Scor-Tape on the card base, then wrap the ends around to the back side of the card panel for a neat and tidy finish.  Follow the same process with the Diamond Print grosgrain, but use 1/4" Scor-Tape this time.  Top with a trio of the same grey buttons.  This look makes me think of a man's French cuff.  It's very chic!

Here's a peek at the inside of this fun masculine birthday card.  Clean and simple works just fine here.

I hope I've shared some tips and tricks that will help you make your next masculine card with ribbon!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

All Hallow's Eve Mini Album Page

Hello everyone.  Today I have another page for the mini album I've been working on. This one is the All Hallow's Eve page designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon, and will be for Halloween photos. On this page I wanted to use the beautiful ribbons from the September Ribbon Club Assortment as they are all so pretty!

So for this page I used black card stock for the base, and made it so it's open on both sides for easy attachment to the album. Next I created the flaps and pockets using Graphic45 design papers. I kept the decorations  pretty simple for this page. I did add beautiful ribbons from the Septembers Ribbon Club, some covered buttons, bats, and a candy. I love making these pages to be interactive and have lots of room for photos and journaling. Hope you enjoy my post, as I've also included a little video showing how the page opens.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies used:
Scor-Tape
Tape refill scotch
Delicate Stitched Satin tangerine
Swiss dots black
diamond satin grape

Thank you for stopping by and have  a lovely day!
Hugs to all,
