Spring is the Season of Love Bee Themed Greeting Card

Today I am sharing a gorgeous spring bee themed greeting card.  I embellished the card with some pretty ribbons and flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon

I created a 4-1/2″ x 6-1/4" card with loads of layers. My digital sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point.  I ran a piece of black Checkerboard Satin Ribbon across the middle of the card and topped it off with a piece of yellow gold Plaid Ribbon.  I finished my card off with a pretty bi-color double loop bow and below the sentiment I have added some pretty 15 and 20mm Open Roses.

The sentiment on the front of my card is from my Spring Sentiments 3 Digi Stamp Bundle. The interior Sentiment is from the Note Card Sentiments for the Inside Digital Stamp Bundle. The background was created with my Honeycomb Overlay SVG Bundle. All my designs can be found on my Bonnie Garby Designs Etsy shop.


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.

Happy Easter

With Spring already here, it's no secret that Easter is just around the corner.  I was able to create some Easter cards this week; and as always, Really Reasonable Ribbon always has the perfect trims for every project.  Today I'm sharing a card that uses Seam Binding and Solid Baker's Twine.  It's always good to know that Really Reasonable Ribbon will always have the exact colors, widths, styles and designs to match all my cards, tags and more.
My card has a cream cardstock base layered with some Crate Paper Farmhouse patterned papers that I machine stitched.  I ran a length of Cream Seam Binding across my card and tied a double bow with it.  I topped that with some Green, Purple and Orange Solid Baker's Twine and an Ivory Open Rose.  The sentiment is from Stamp Simply.  Everything is held securely in place using Scor-Tape.
The carrot and shiplap (crate) dies are from The Greetery.  The two photos you see above are the front of this Easter card.  Below you will see the inside view of my card.  The sentiment I used on the inside is from Bonnie Garby Designs and it's found in the Easter Religious Sentiment Digital Stamp Set.  I also added more of the Cream Seam Binding and Solid Baker's Twine as well as some pretty Metallic Gems from the Embellishments Section.
It would mean so much to me if you would stop by the Really Reasonable Ribbon Shop to look around and possibly treat yourself to some Ribbons, Trims or Twines, Mulberry Flowers, Adhesives or any of the other hundreds of amazing products they carry.  Thank you so much for visiting me here today and please stop by again soon for even more inspiration and creative ways to use ribbons and trims.

Blessings,
Karen

Hoppy Easter Card!

 Hello and Happy April First! 

 Misty @Mommyofkidz here today sharing a super quick Easter card with y'all.  I have been on somewhat of a "PURPLE" kick lately.  Yes, it is my favorite color, but I think it is more than that.  I have heard so many people say that it is difficult to work with the color purple, whether it be on cards, scrapbooking, or even in their home decor.  All the "negative" comments about purple challenged me to see if it was true.  

I am here to say...it is definitely not true! 

For this card, I started with a couple of my favorite PURPLE items from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and then went from there. I love the results!

But, for this project, I only needed the 1.5 inch Purple. 
After cutting the bunny silhouettes out of the different yardsticks, I was also going to need
I mean...I couldn't just leave the bunny butts bare, could I!!??

I wanted a BIG goofy tail, but not too big that it covered the entire backside.

Wild Orchid Craft 25mm Cottage Roses Mixed Purple/Lilac

                YES PLEASE! These were the perfect choice! 
  These are gorgeous in the photo and even more stunning in real life! 
I definitely want...no... NEED all the cottage roses!  Trust me, you will love them, too! 

                                    I hope that I have inspired you today with my purple passion!  
                    I do actually love the color purple...and would love to see what you can create with it!
