Awesome projects on the hop! Love this pretty ribbon assortment!
No big plans for the summer. Probably a day or two over at Lake Tahoe, which is always a beautiful spot to visit!

America the Beautiful Shaker Card
- Create a border with Red Satin and Electric Blue Swiss Dot Ribbon. Use Scor-Tape to attach the ribbon to the card front before you adhere it to the card base.
- Add Red Swiss Dot Ribbon Bows to the corners of the shaker element. Then top them with a little Ivory Burlap String Bow.

Believe in Miracles
I started with my base for my Memorydex card set, then cut the top with a decorative edge die, then layered this darling design paper on top. I did add a sticker border in between the two designs. Next I cut out the flower shaker using the My Makers Movement dies, and added some shaker sprinkles to the inside. I decided to add a big bow treatment, and started with some tulle, then diagonal brown striped ribbon, and then the satin pearl pink ribbon, I also added some bead berry spray in white, and then the darling mini sweetheart blossoms, 2-tone chelsea rose. lastly I added some dots, Heart Gem and a sentiment chipboard piece
Thank you so much for looking and have a lovely day! Hugs to all,
Cheryl

Fresh Squeezed Greeting Card
Hey there friends as crafty peeps! Ginny here to add some fresh squeezed inspiration to your day. I just gotta ask.....do you have a favorite trim that you haven't used for a bit then rediscover it and you're like ohhh how I've missed you???? For me it's the Plaid Ribbon Black Bold Check. It's just so perfect for these more farmhouse inspired greeting cards.
The best part? Flowers and trim of course!

Fun with Foil
Because the foil is so shiny, it is very hard to get a good photograph! If you are familiar with heat embossing with gold powder, you will be able to see that the foil is quite a bit smoother and shinier than embossing powder.
To make sure I was keeping the shine going, I used Glitz Ribbon and Metallic String to finish off the card. The card is a standard 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" made from black cardstock. I lined the inside with white cardstock to give a place to stamp or write a message.
I wrapped a piece of the purple Glitz Ribbon around the bottom of the card and added a loopy bow made from the gold Metallic String to the left edge. I created a flower cluster with some purple, blue, and yellow flowers.

Beginner Bow Tying Tips
Hello, Ribbon Lovers! If I could only work with one kind of ribbon for the rest of my life, I think it would have to be Seam Binding Ribbon. Not only does it come in a rainbow of colors, but it ties the softest, prettiest bows! Just look at the Baby Pink cloud of seam binding ribbon peeking out from flower cluster on this sweet birthday card.
Whenever I'm asked for advice on tying pretty bows, I recommend two things: seam binding ribbon and the Bow-it-All Tool. Seam binding ribbon is the perfect ribbon to use when you are learning how to tie pretty bows. First of all, it is not slippery, which makes it easy to handle. Secondly, it is not bulky, which makes it easy to tie a nice, snug knot. The tighter the knot in a bow, the more "poufy" and full the bow will be.
The Bow-it-All Tool is like having an extra pair of helping hands. It takes about an hour to get comfortable with it, so don't give up if your first attempt is less than perfect. Try watching the tutorials on the RRR YouTube Channel. Bonnie does a great job of breaking down the steps and explaining how the tool works. Then you just need to practice, practice, practice. Before you know it, you'll be turning out fluffy, poufy beautiful bows like a pro.
Thanks for stopping by!
