Happy Birthday To You

Hi, friends!  It's Karen here today.  As you all know, it's always good to have lots of cute Birthday cards on hand.  We all need them.  Whether it's one for a kid, a man, woman, friend, or anyone else; there's always a perfect Birthday sentiment to be found at Bonnie Garby Designs and there's always a perfect trim to be found at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The card I'm sharing today uses both, and they're the perfect combination (in my humble opinion).  They also make it quick and easy to create cute cards.

I used black cardstock for the base of my card and I layered it with patterned papers that are primarily from the Crate Paper line called Party Day.  I used these patterned papers to create my layered base including my sentiment which is from Bonnie Garby Designs and can be found in the Birthday Greetings 2 Digital Stamp Set.  All my paper layers are securely held together using pieces of Scor-Tape.

On the left-hand side of my card, I tied a pretty bow that includes a piece of Solid Yellow Baker's Twine, Solid Red Baker's Twine and Green Apple Baker's Twine.  I know that I say this A LOT, but I really do LOVE Baker's Twine.  It comes in so many great colors including solids and stripes, it costs just TEN CENTS per yard, and it adds SO much to our cards, tags and projects.  I LOVE BAKER'S TWINE.💕

You can always find lots of great inspiration on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog and lots of great bargains and shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  You won't want to miss out on grabbing basics like Adhesives, Mulberry Paper Flowers and everything pretty.  Thanks so much for visiting here today.  I'm so grateful for you all.

Blessings,

Karen

Cruise Cabin Door Signs

Hello and Happy Mid May!!  Misty @Mommyofkidz here sharing a new project with you, while all of my kids are out in the middle of the Gulf of America, living it up on a cruise ship. They actually left the Saturday before Mother's Day, and only one thought to give me a gift prior to leaving! Kids!! 

Anyway, while they did not want MOM to join them on this cruise since they are all "adults" now, they still wanted Mom for other things.  I am taking care of animals, house sitting, and don't get me started on all the things they needed from Mom BEFORE the cruise! LOL  They may be grown, but they still depend on MOM for so much!  Can any of you relate??  

One of the things that they asked of me was to make signs for their cabin doors on the cruise. Could they have done it themselves?  Absolutely. WOULD they have done it themselves? Absolutely NOT.  

SO, I did what any self respecting Mom would do...I made them BEG!!  LOL!  And then I went to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store and started putting ideas together. I landed on this Netting Trim Ribbon  because it made me think of coral and sea life and fishing nets. 

                            

However, when I told them my idea of a beach theme, they all agreed that was boring. UGH! the image in my head was not going to work so I switched gears. Rather than a couple of cute cruise signs, I made several smaller Obnoxious signs! used the Netting ribbon to hang them from hooks. I also made a door "header" for them...and used the gorgeous 1.5 inch Royal Blue Gingham ribbon to "tie it all together" and add a touch of femininity.  Not sure it it worked...but hey, I tried! They all liked them...even the boys.  Skye said they all got "Girly Cocktails" but those margaritas don't look too girly...right?

So...I have a question for you all...

If you were going to make signs for your Cruise Cabin Door, what would you do?

Would you do something Fun like these witty cocktails?

Using the Netting Trim Ribbon and Gingham ....

Would you do something Flirtatious, like the one I did for my Hubby and I ?

Using 1.5 inch Double Faced Satin and Cabochons?

OR...Would you go All out on the sea live and 

Whatever Ribbons and embellishments you choose, you will always find the PERFECT assortments at Really Reasonable Ribbon! 

Wishing You a Very Happy Birthday

When it comes to making cards, I do enjoy adding ribbons, trims and twines of some sort whenever I can.  It gives my cards such warm fun textures and colors.  Really Reasonable Ribbon always has the perfect trim for every card and project I make.  They carry so many great colors, widths, patterns, etc. in various styles and materials.  They also have Adhesives like Scor-Tape and 3-D Foam Tabs, and we ALL need those.  I hope you'll stop by Really Reasonable Ribbon to look around.

For this card, I used some pretty patterned papers from my oldest and most favorite "stash" items which are from a line called Emma's Shoppe by Crate Paper.  I cut them using the Crimped Frame Dies from The Greetery and layered them together with pieces of Scor-Tape.  The sweet sentiment I used is from Bonnie Garby Designs and can be found in the Bold Birthday Greetings Digital Stamp Set.

I ran a length of Cream Swiss Dot Grosgrain Ribbon across my card and tied a bow with it.  I topped that with a bow tied with Solid Coral Baker's Twine.  I also added in two little Mulberry Leaves and a Sweetheart Blossom.  The ephemera (stickers and flower) are also from Emma's Shoppe.  I think that pretty much covers everything I used on my card, but I'm more than happy to answer any questions you might have.

Really Reasonable Ribbon always has all the perfect Ribbons, Twines and Trims for every project.  They also carry so many essentials we all need - such as the Adhesives, Scor-Tape and 3-D Foam Tabs in addition to Mulberry Flowers and Embellishments.  I appreciate your visit here today, and I hope you'll stop by Really Reasonable Ribbon for some great shopping and by the RRR Blog for lots of great inspiration.  Happy crafting!

Blessings,

Karen

Graduation 2025

 Hi there all my Really Reasonable Ribbon Friends! Misty @Mommyof kids here with you today sharing a Feminine Slimline Grad card.Do you know a young lady who will be graduating this year who would love a feminine graduation card as opposed to the mainstream monotonous ones? Not that those are terrible, but most girls like a bit of ribbon and roses and "Fru-Fru"....right? 

Well, you can make one for them and it can have as much or as little "Fru-Fru" as you want! 

I chose to keep the feminine "Fru-Fru" to a minimum, but I am so in love with how it turned out! 

All I have used for this card other than cardstock and adhesive has come from Really Reasonable Ribbon and Bonnie Garby Designs.  If you haven't browsed both shops, you SHOULD!  Trust me, You will find something for every celebration...Even Divorce! LOL...Not even joking! 

For this card, I used:

Glitz Ribbon Gold

Wild Orchid Craft 25mm Cottage Roses Mixed Blue Tone

And This Cut file Bundle from Bonnie Garby Designs:

Obviously I did modify the cut a tiny bit so that it would fit onto my card base, but that is the beauty of Bonnie's cutfiles!  They will easily adapt to any and all sizes of craft bases!  I genuinely LOVE all of the designs in her shop, and have used MANY! 

With this, I love the BIG BOLD letters...they make a statement worthy of such an accomplishment.  I decided to make a shadow for them and pop the letters up on foam tape...which made it stand out even more in real life.  WOW WOW WOW I love this card! Here is an aerial view so that you can see the lift I gave to the letters in GRAD. 

Bonnie's Ribbons and Sentiments come together to give this card such tasteful elegance. I LOVE it, and I truly hope the recipient will as well.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my project! I hope I have inspired you to begin one of your own.  If I have....Head on over to Really Reasonable Ribbon and start your shopping list! 

Friends Make the World Beautiful

One of the many things I love about Really Reasonable Ribbon is that they carry such a wide variety of products that we all use.  One of top ones being Adhesives.  If you've never checked out Scor-Tape, I would highly suggest doing so.  I use Scor-Tape to secure so many different things to be products.  Including, as on this card, chipboard pieces, ribbons and more.  You're always certain to find many sweet things you'd love to tuck in your basket before checkout.

I started with white cardstock.  The patterned papers, stickers and chipboard ephemera are all Emma's Shoppe by Crate Paper.  The cool perforated and ripped Ripped Notebook Cover Plate Die is from Picket Fence.  I ran several colors of Solid Baker's Twine through the perforated edges to add color.  The other trim is 3/8" Swiss Dot Pearl Pink with Hot Pink Dots Grosgrain Ribbon.  The fabulous friendship sentiment used on my card is from Bonnie Garby Designs, and can be found in her lovely Friendship Digital Stamp Set.

It's always a treat to have you stop by my blog to have a look around; and to have you leave me a comment is just icing on top of an already unexpected and greatly appreciated blessing.  Layering papers and ribbons is always a nice combination.  I was very tempted to use some Lace on this card, but I know that inventory is running low on this lovely trim.

I also ran some Solid Natural Baker's Twine down the left side of my card and wrapped it around the papers.  I love the texture and depth that papers, stickers and trims (among other things) offer to our cards and projects.  My thought process is that they make things more interesting.  Why not head over to Really Reasonable Ribbon and see what's calling your name today.  You won't regret it (especially all that delicious Baker's Twine).  Thanks for visiting today.

Blessings,

Karen
