Trick or Treat jar with RRR

 

Hello crafty friends and Happy Monday to you all! Cheryl here today with a fun little jar I decorated for Halloween using the beautiful ribbon and twine from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

I used a jar that holds my dew drops to decorate as it's nice to have them in the craft room to see. I tied the Quatrefoil ribbon in black around the top of the jar, an then hot glued my bow I made. Next I tied the happy Halloween tag using the orange twine, and then stuck some 3-D stickers to the front of the jar. This would be cute on a plan jar for holding candies too. I also made a bow out of the twine and tied it to the back. 

supplies used:

Foam tabs

Twine

Quatrefoil ribbon black

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

Mushroom Manor with String Bow

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Do you ever use string bows on your cards?  They add a lot of wonderful texture to a card, and they are so easy to make!  I created this Mushroom Manor card for our son's birthday.  He is a wood turner, and makes the cutest little mushroom boxes, so this design was perfect for him.  String bows look great on masculine cards.

First I wrapped the left hand side of my card front with some turquoise burlap ribbon from my stash of Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Grosgrain ribbon would work well, too. Then I cut even lengths of Natural Burlap String, Ivory Burlap String and Brown Sugar Baker' s Twine for my string bow.  A little "next" of burlap string was the perfect resting spot for my wax seal.  

This is my last post as a member of the Really Reasonable Ribbon Design Team.  I have been with this team for 13 years now, and I have loved every minute of it!  I would stay on forever, but our daughter has a brand new baby boy, and she needs me to keep him as she goes back to work.  So I'm giving up the best job in the world for the very best job in the world.  I will miss working with Bonnie and being part of this amazing team.  Thank you all so much for all the kind words and support over the years!  

Cheerio,

kathy

 

You Have My Heart!

 Hello and Happy Thursday! 

Misty @Mommyofkidz here today. Have you been over to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store lately and checked out all the new arrivals? If not, you should take a couple of minutes and check it out RIGHT HERE.  I have already started filling my shopping cart! 

Today I am sharing a scrapbook layout featuring my Hunky Hubby and myself on our wedding day. This layout is loaded with beauties from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store. The Wild Orchid White Magnolia that is in the center of my floral cluster is one of the treasures you will find in the NEW items in the store. Now you know why I was so excited!  In addition the the magnolia, I have also used some Wild Orchid Open Roses.  The pink and white buds are all from the RRR store. I truly have grown addicted to these buds.  If I am honest, my order history would show my addiction!  Ha HA!!  I may or may not need a name tag that reads: 

***Hi, My name is Misty and am ADDICTED to Really Reasonable Ribbon AND Flowers!!** 

Also, if I am honest, that plate of food in front of me in that photo NEVER got touched.  I heard it was delicious, though!!  Another reason that I stress capturing and scrapbooking your memories! Peep the hidden journaling that I have tucked behind my photo.

In addition to the florals, you will also notice a few other beauties in this close up.  I hand stitched each and every square with Silver Metallic String. It was a bit of a time commitment, but OH how I love the results! You will also notice that I have woven some Sharon White Crochet Lace around the edges.  I wanted this to be as dainty and feminine as I could possibly make it, and lace just does that effortlessly. 

My layout matches the card that I shared earlier in the month. I must have been in a floral mood or something when I started these projects! 

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I hope that I have inspired you in some way to get crafty with ribbon, twine, or flowers!!  You can pick then all up at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store!! 

Let's Bake Stuff and Watch Christmas Movies

Hi crafty friends!  It's Karen sharing with you here today.  As Christmas begins its approach, we can always count on Really Reasonable Ribbon to have all the perfect trims for our Holiday crafts, cards, wrapping and projects of every kind.  I know that I always find the perfect trims in the perfect width, color and style when shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The card I'm sharing today pairs some of a few of those fabulous trims from RRR with a darling sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs.

I layered black and pink cardstocks, vellum, and a Prima patterned paper to create my base.  The dies I used are from a die set called Candy Cane Lane (sold out) from Hello Bluebird Stamps. I have lots of layers going on here indeed.  All the candy canes, foliage and berries are from this darling Candy Cane Lane die set.  The adorable sentiment is from Bonnie Garby Designs and can be found in the Christmas Holiday Baking 2 Stamp Set.

The lovely trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon that I used on this card include the White Crochet Lace, Apple Baker's Twine, Dusty Rose Wrinkle Ribbon, and they're all securely held in place using various widths of the FABULOUS Adhesive called Scor-Tape.  I also used some White 3-D Foam Tabs to attach the sentiment piece.  Even for scapbooking, Scor-Tape is a very secure Adhesive.

I hope you'll visit Really Reasonable Ribbon to check out all the fabulous trims and other products they carry.  You're always sure to find AMAZING deals and the best variety you can imagine.  There's also SO much fabulous inspiration here on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.  Thanks so much for stopping by today, and have a great week, everyone.

Blessings,

Karen

Happy Halloween

Hello, creative friends!  It's Karen posting today.  This is not one of my regularly scheduled days to post for Really Reasonable Ribbon.  BUT....because it's SO much fun to create with ribbons, I decided to sneak in an extra card that uses just one sweet trim along with a darling sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs.  It's just to show you how Really Reasonable Ribbon and Bonnie Garby Designs can help you create some great Halloween cards of your own.

I used an image found in the Halloween Sentiments Bundle at Bonnie Garby Designs as the focal point.  It gave me a sweet sentiment and a cute image all in one.  I cut the background using white watercolor paper and a cute cover plate die that I rubbed with oxide inks.  Since there was a cute spider on the sentiment piece, I added a couple more spiders.  When you print out the sentiments from Bonnie Garby Designs, you can rub them with ink, and they still look amazing.  I cut mine with a circle die and placed it on 3-D Foam Tabs.

I ran a length of Purple Gingham Ribbon across my card and tied a double bow with it using the Bow-It-All Tool.  I tucked in a few black and pink Double Head Stamens for texture.  Everything is held securely in place using pieces of Scor-Tape.  I think that covers everything; but if I missed something and you have a question, don't hesitate to ask.  You can find everything you need at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

We hope you'll stop by again soon to see what's new at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  You're always sure to find the perfect Ribbons and Trims, Adhesives, Mulberry Flowers, Embellishments and SO much more.  Thanks for stopping by.  It's always a treat to have you visit.

Blessings,

Karen

Together Forever Card

 Good morning fellow Ribbon Lovers! Misty aka @Mommyofkidz here with you today sharing what I should have shared last week. Unfortunately, I was super sick and couldn't pull myself up off the couch, so I am sharing it now.  I spent the last four days laying on my couch in the living room feeling miserable.  After lots and lots of rest, soup, and medicine, I am finally feeling better. 

While I was sick, I slept a LOT. However, I also did a lot of scrolling...mostly on ReallyReasonableRibbon looking at all the beautiful ribbons and flowers in the shop.  However, I also scrolled through Pinterest. I probably pinned over 100 ideas that I want to try, but only remember a handful of what I looked at LOL.  One of those that I remember was a color inspiration board with the colors pink, coral, cream, olive, and silvery grey. I knew that I HAD to use those colors, they were SOOOO flipping pretty! 

I pulled out my Paper Roses Studios collection and set to work.
 I think my favorite thing about this whole card is the huge bow.  That Silky Crush Ribbon is phenomenal! I have used it once or twice, and I have no idea why I haven't used it more.  It is gorgeous! I am IN LOVE with the vibrant Silky Crush Rose  color that I've used for this card! 

But wait...the inside of the card is perfection, also! I got this sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs, and it reflects all the words that I would want to say to my husband.  It's ALWAYS Been You. 

Finally, I used Silver Metallic String to hand stitch these squares in hopes that it would create a quilted look. I was looking for a dreamy romantic feeling, and to me, there is nothing more romantic than my own bedroom, and nothing more dreamy than my quilt that my grandmother made for me.  Therefor, I merged the two concepts and this was the result.

I hope I have inspired you in some way today! Whether it be a card, a scrapbook page, or a whole wreath, you can find exactly what you need in the RRR Store.  Whatever your project may be, head on over to Really Reasonable Ribbon and grab the perfect pairings today! Thanks for stopping by! 

Fun Technique with Burlap String

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  How much are we loving these cooler days?  Today I thought I'd share a fun way to add fall texture to our card designs. Natural Burlap String is always within easy reach in my studio.  I use this stuff so often that I buy it by the roll!  It ties pretty bows, of course, but it also looks great when you add it as a border on a card.  And it's so easy to do!  

To use this technique, you will need to build your card front before you adhere it to a 5" x 7" top fold cardstock base.  I had a large chipboard frame that was a bit of a Plain Jane.  After adding strips of torn designer paper to the sides, I still wasn't happy with it.  So I wrapped several rows of Natural Burlap String down the right hand side of the panel with the frame on it.  

This looked so good that I decided to repeat the process on the bottom of the frame.  Simply use a small piece of Scor-Tape to hold the loose end of the string on the back of the panel, then wrap on as many layers of string as you like.  I used 5.  Then secure the string on the back side of the panel using another piece of Scor-Tape.  Easy Peasy!

Now top a Copper and Cream Gingham bow with another loopy burlap string bow to add even more texture and a nice pop of color to your card. 

Burlap string comes in a rainbow of colors, so you can use this fun and easy technique with any shade of string.

Have a joyful and creative day, friends!

Cheerio,

kathy
