Warm Wishes

Welcome by the RRR blog today as I share a sweet little homespun Christmas card I created with some fabulous products found at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I had started this card quite some time ago, but never finished it.  So, with my wounded wing (right hand/arm) limitations, this was helpful. I picked up this unfinished card and added some Really Reasonable Ribbon goodness for the finishing touches it needed.  I originally had the card base, patterned paper and doily set in place but had laid the other items next to the card waiting to complete it.

At the top center, I added a few trims from this month's gorgeous Ribbon Club Assortment including a length of White Crochet Lace, 3/8" Light Pink Organza With Satin Center, and 3/8" Garden Rose Satin With Silver Metallic Edge, as well as some Ivory Burlap String to tie on my rusty jingle bells.

OK.....can we please talk about (my favorite accent) Double Head Stamens?  I know I say it often, but they're SO sweet!   They were recently restocked, and some colors have already sold out (because they're awesome).  This is one item I really think everyone should order.  They're so affordable, and they add such a fabulous touch to your projects.   I highly suggest stocking up now before they're all sold out again.  I tucked in several White Double Head Mini Stamens, Lavender Double Head Mini Stamens and Light Blue Double Head Stamens.  They're the best!

I added a few touches of acrylic paint splatter here and there as well as a touch of glitter, a Prima chipboard coffee mug piece, and a small tag that I stamped with a tiny sentiment (warm wishes), inked, and attached with a rusty pear-shaped safety pin to a cinnamon stick that I embellished with more Stamens and a glittered Pink Open Rose.  There's also a 30mm Pink & White Mulberry Leave and more Ivory Burlap String tucked under the rose. It's a fairly simple card, but the ribbons and stamens from Really Reasonable Ribbon are what make this card so sweet.

By the way, don't forget to stop back by tomorrow for the Really Reasonable Ribbon October Blog Hop where one lucky person will win this month's fabulous Ribbon Club Assortment. 

Blessings,

Karen

Fluttering with the November Ribbon Club

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  If purple is your color, then today's post is just for you!  I fell hard for the Grape Shimmer Satin Ribbon in the November Ribbon Club Assortment.  It's such a soft, vintage shade with a subtle, elegant touch of shine.  Then I got really excited when I realized how beautifully this ribbon pairs with Graphic 45's new "Flutter" collection.  Take a look.

I tucked this double loop bow in the corner of my flower cascade to "tie" everything together.  Then I added just a touch more sparkle with a simple double loop bow of Metallic Silver String.  I think it's purplicious! 

I'm pretty much smitten with all the ribbons in this month's club.  It's like having a flower garden at your fingertips.  I hope you get a chance to play with these gorgeous ribbons soon!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cheerio,

Blessed Altered Frame

Hi friends! Today I'm sharing a lovely little home décor piece I created for the Thanksgiving season and I hope you enjoy it! I started with an empty frame and filled it with lots of seasonal pretties and of course, some gorgeous ribbons from RRR!

For the inside, I added papers and die cuts along with stickers, buttons, WOC Sweetheart Blossoms White, WOC Sweetheart Blossoms Mixed Pink. I also added a White Bead Berry Spray Cluster to the mix. For my puffy bow, I used Delicate Stitched Satin in Blue Topaz, Vanessa White Crochet Lace and Ivory Burlap String (on the button).

A little Autumn tag in the upper right corner has a bit of 3/8" Plaid Ribbon Raspberry Swirl tied to it. I love how this all coordinates perfectly with the festive scene. 

I think this will be a really nice addition to my holiday décor this year. And I hope you've been inspired to create something pretty for your home too! Thanks so much for stopping by and allowing me to share my project today! Until next time, happy crafting! 

Autumn Birthday Greetings

Hi there fellow ribbon lovers.  I'm sneaking in with one more Autumn themed card before things  switch over to all Winter/Christmas.  I don't know about your neck of the woods, but Autumn hardly happened here in the New York.  We literally went from a/c one week to heat the next.  Don't even get me started on how we missed out on the autumn colors .  But, there's always next year.....

So this birthday card is sporting some fun autumn colors and it features some pretty ribbons and mulberry flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  My Mom's birthday is in mid-October, so this color combo was perfect for her card.

Of course I waited until the last minute to make it (what else is new...) so this was a pretty simple card.  It has some layers of course, but they take no time to cut.  Instead of making flowers, this time I hit my stash of mulberry flowers and selected some Red Cottage Roses to add below the sentiment.  These pre-made mulberry flowers are a great time saver and great to have on hand.  They are also very inexpensive.  Be sure to take a look at all the options in the Mulberry Flower section at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I finished my card off with my signature bi-color double loop bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 with two colors of Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon.  This ribbon is my absolute favorite ribbon for bow making.  It's a dream to work with.  I also ran a piece of 5/8" Kiwi Diamond Satin Ribbon across the middle of the card under the sentiment and topped that with 3/8" Maize Honeycomb Print Satin Ribbon.

For a video tutorial on how to make this pretty bow, please click HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  For more information on the other products I used on my card, please visit my Make Time to Craft Blog.  Happy crafting!!

RRR Decorated Thanksgiving Pumpkin Soap Dispenser

 Hello everyone and Happy Monday to you all! Today I have a fun and easy project to make for the holidays using Really Reasonable Ribbon Flowers, Seam Binding, Grosgrain Ribbon, and Satin Ribbons. This Pumpkin is a soap dispenser.  I bought two of them, so I figured I would decorate them up for this month for Thanksgiving.

To decorate, I started with the Tobacco Brown Seam Binding, and tied it around the lid part, and then made a big bow and tied it on. Next I tied the Orange Satin into a bow and hot glued it on. Next I made a smaller bow out of the Sunflowers Grosgrain Ribbon, and then used hot glue to glue that one on next. Lastly I added some Yellow Rose Buds, and then some Orange Rose Buds using hot glue, it's that easy! Love when projects come together easy like this, and they turn out super cute too. I will have two of these for both guest bathroom in my home .

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies:
Sunflowers on Kiwi Grosgrain Ribbon
Seam Binding Tobacco Brown
Satin Swirls Orange
Yellow Rose buds
Orange Rose Buds

Above is a close up so you can see that I pulled a string in the seam binding to ruche the ties on the bow so they would have the gathered look.  Now you could do that with the entire bow, and each loop, however for this project I chose not to.

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you enjoyed my post for today!
Hugs to all
Cheryl

Baby It's Cold Outside Christmas Greeting Card

Hello there friends and crafty peeps! Ginny here to share my first project with the new Ribbon Club Holiday Shimmer Assortment ...

Isn't it just dreamy??????? I think this might turn out to be my favorite assortment for the holidays!

I pulled out the silver for my first project and was having so much fun it turned into two. Isn't the the way it always goes???

 I think I will always love blue and silver for Christmas.

 I've added some pretty coordinating flowers.

 Layered die cuts create a nice texture and provide lots of detail.

 I couldn't resist adding a silver ice skate charm.

 Speaking of silver I've tucked in a silvery star to the floral arrangement for a little extra sparkle.

 This card is similar but has a different focal image. Notice the faux snow detail on the top and the circle die cut?

 There's a few berry stems and metal flourishes to fill in the flowers. And that silver ribbon matches perfectly!

 The focal image is actually a layered holiday sticker in matching plaid.

 This card also has a charm...this time a reindeer. A bit of loopy twine bow softens the arrangement.

While I was working with the wintry color scheme I decided now is the right time for silver cardstock between the paper layers. So festive!

Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G
