Pet Sympathy Card

 Hello friends.  Today I'm sharing a pet sympathy card I made for a good friend.  It's embellished with some ribbon and baker's twine from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the digital sentiments and background cut file are from Bonnie Garby Designs. 

I created a 4-3/4" x 6-1/2" card with a few layers. My digital sentiment from our sister company Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point.  I ran a piece of black Diamond Satin Ribbon topped with yellow Baker's Twine across the center of the card under the sentiment.  

The sentiments I used on my card today came from the Loss of Pet Sympathy Sentiments Digital Stamp Bundle. The background for the card was created using the Herringbone Overlay SVG Cut File Bundle.

Our sister company 'Bonnie Garby Designs' is offering a large variety of digital sentiment stamps and svg files.  Below are the bundles I used on my card today. 

*********************************

Sometimes 'less is more' on a card, but you can always squeeze some ribbons and trims on there and this card is nice and flat for easy mailing.

Autumn - A Time for Letting Go

It's time for another beautiful ribbon-adorned card featuring a few of the (many) fabulous trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  This card combines a few of their wonderful products with a lovely Autumn sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs.  If you're ever looking for a specific sentiment and don't want to spend a small fortune buying a complete acrylic or rubber stamp set, then Bonnie Garby Designs may be the answer.  They carry hundreds of amazing sentiments for every occasion - without "breaking the bank" so to speak.

This card uses navy blue and cream cardstock as the base.  It's layered with some fun Crate Paper patterned papers from their Farmhouse collection. I used the Postage Stamp Die to cut the various pieces.  As I mentioned, the sentiment can be found in the Autumn Sentiments 2 Set; but it printed in black.  I ran a length of Brown & Cream Gingham Ribbon and a length of Navy Wrinkle Ribbon across my card.

I used the Navy Wrinkle Ribbon to tie my double bow, and then I tucked in some bundled Ivory Burlap String and several Double Head Stamens for color and texture.  And....they're just SO pretty.  I used several pieces of Scor-Tape to secure everything securely in place.  I also used some 3-D Foam Tabs to raise the sentiment piece.

I rubbed the sentiment piece with Marmalade Oxide Ink and sprayed it with Bundled Sage Distress Ink Spray.  This close-up photo (above) gives you a better look at how crisp and beautiful the sentiments from Bonnie Garby Designs truly are....even when you add ink, etc. to them.  I tend to use them a lot simply because they're SO lovely and cover every occasion.

Before I sign off today, I wanted to share one more photo with you.  I shared this sweet cross-stitched card for the September RRR Blog Hop, but I forgot to share this photo that also includes some of the FUN Halloween Ribbons available at RRR.  They really do have ribbons, trims and embellishments for EVERY season, every occasion and every project.  You'll always find the perfect design, width, colors, etc.

I hope you'll stop by and support Really Reasonable Ribbon AND Bonnie Garby Designs.  They're both owned by my sweet friend, Bonnie, and she's a very sweet, fair and honest person.  You'll find reasonable shipping costs (free at Bonnie Garby Designs of course) and you can find loads of inspiration and information about special sales and promotions on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.  Thanks so much for visiting today.

Blessings,

Karen

A Pair of Autumn Cards

Hello Ribbon Loving Frinds! 

Happy Wednesday to you all, I hope you are having a crafty week! 

Misty @Mommyofkidz here with you today

to share a pair of Autumn Inspired cards with you. 

I have been making more cards recently because I intend to start next year with intention of sending more written notes as opposed to texts or email. I have been stock-piling my cards so that I have ZERO excuse come 2025! 

For this first one, I used Ivory Burlap String and Double Faced Satin Aqua Ribbon 1.5 inch width.  I also used the digital stamp sentiment on the inside. 

For this Next Card, I used Jute String, 12mm Flat Backed Pearls, And the Pumpkin Spice Digital stamp from Bonnie Garby Designs.

TIP: I used a razor knife to remove all the insides of the pumpkin that were black in the stamp.  I then used the plaid paper behind it to create the look of the pumpkin. 

I then added the Wild Orchid Mulberry Paper Leaf to the stem to make it look even more realistic. 

Both Cards Feature a Digital Stamp Sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs.

I love how my Pair of Autumn Inspired Cards came out! 

As I learn more about card making, I would definitely say that having a

sentiment already prepared makes a difference in the process! 

I will definitely be making more cards with 

Bonnie Garby Designs

Digital Stamps! 

Actually, I have a Baby Shower card already in the making! 

Maybe I will share that one on my next post!

See you all soon!

Have a wonderfully crafty week!!

Cauldron Treats

Hello everyone and Happy Friday to you all! Today Im sharing this little cauldrons I decorated up using Really Reasonable Ribbon, and some treats for a luncheon I was to go to. My mom was nice enough to pick them up and bring them for the ladies since I was sick all week. Anyways these were super fun to make and I ended up making 10.

To start with I bought the cauldrons at the dollar tree, next I tied the Bright green Apple Dots 5/8" dot, and the Tangerine is Shimmer satin. Next I made my bow using the 3/8" Apple Grosgrain ribbon and then hot glued it on. For my tag I used a punch and an old SU! stamp for Happy Halloween. My name is on the back of each tag so they know who these were from. Lastly I tied them on using the orange pumpkin twine

what do you think of these little cuties for Halloween?

Thank you so very much for lookin and have a lovely day! Hugs to all, Cheryl

Happy Birthday to You Greeting Card

  Hello friends.  Today I'm sharing a birthday card I made for a sweet friend.  It's embellished with some lovely ribbons and mulberry flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the digital sentiments are from Bonnie Garby Designs. 

I created a 5-1/2" square card with a few layers. My digital sentiment from our sister company Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point.  I ran a piece of regal purple Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon topped with Crosshatch on Turquoise Satin Ribbon across the center of the card under the sentiment.  I added some pretty turquoise Sweetheart Blossoms under the sentiment panel.

The sentiments I used on my card today came from the Birthday Greetings 2 Digital Stamp Bundle along with the Birthday Sentiments for the Inside Bundle which I used for the interior sentiment. The background for the card was created using the Delicate Woven Overlay SVG Cut File Bundle.

Our sister company 'Bonnie Garby Designs' is offering a large variety of digital sentiment stamps and svg files.  Below are the digital stamp bundles I used on my card today.

BOO Y'all

BOO!  It's your ribbon-loving friend Karen posting today.  Well, this isn't really all that scary.  But no what matter what time of year it is and no matter what type of project you're creating, you'll always find the perfect Ribbons, Twines, Trims, Adhesives, Embellishments and more at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  This (not so) spooky card uses several different products from this FABULOUS store.

I used basic black cardstock and then basic white cardstock to cut my frame using a cute Double Stitched Scalloped Frame Die Set from Poppy Stamps.  I rubbed the background with Kitsch Oxide Ink and splattered it with black paint, and then I stamped it with some tiny stamps from Paper Sweeties.  Once my background was all set, I ran a piece of Scor-Tape across my card and added a length of Black & White Bold Check Gingham Ribbon to my card.

I also tied a bow with the Black & White Bold Check Gingham Ribbon as well as with some Cotton Candy Baker's Twine and Plum Baker's Twine.  I tucked several Double Head Stamens (Pink, Black and Milk White) underneath the bow.  I used Adhesive Foam Sheets to give my ghost dimension and create the shaker element.  The ghost and BOO were cut using the Ghost Shaker Die from Pretty Pink Posh.  In the ghost's "hair", I added a little die-cut flower and a sweet Lilac Sweetheart Blossom.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the products I used on today's project.  You're always sure to find lots of great inspiration on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog and lots of amazing products at Really Reasonable Ribbon Store.  I'm so grateful to have you stop by and say hello.  Happy crafting, everyone.

Blessings,

Karen
