Two Hearts, One Love

Hello, everyone!  It's your ribbon-loving friend, Karen Letchworth, posting today.  It's time for me to share another fun card showcasing some of the (many) awesome products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Making cards with ribbons, trims and twines has always been something I enjoy.  I like the textures and dimensions that they add to our cards, tags and projects.  Really Reasonable Ribbon carries every style ribbon, every width, every color and every choice imaginable.  They also carry items like Adhesives, Embellishments, Flowers and much more.

I used white cardstock and layered it with a pretty Kaiser Craft (Miss Betty) patterned paper.   To be honest with you all, I planned to machine stitch the edges of this card; but the bobbin was empty, and I was too lazy to refill it.  I placed half of a small white doily on the left side of my card.  I used lots of the fabulous Adhesive called Scor-Tape to attach all the papers and goodies securely in place.  The sentiment I used is from Bonnie Garby Designs and can be found in their Wedding Digital Stamp Bundle.

I attached a length of the beautiful Vivid Pink Seam Binding on the left side of my card covering the edge of the doily.  There are many lovely colors of Seam Binding, and it's very affordable at just 30 cents per yard.  You'll always find the perfect color(s) for every project.  On top of the Seam Binding bow, I added some Blueberry Baker's Twine, White Metallic Iridescent String, two Wild Orchid 15mm Green Mulberry Leaves, and a lovely Ivory Open Rose.  I also strung the White Metallic Iridescent String around my sentiment, etc.

Thanks so much for visiting me here today, friends.  Your stops here at my blog always mean a lot to me, and I truly appreciate the relationships I've made with so many of you.  I love hearing your thoughts and input.  Oh, and be sure to come play along at Word Art Wednesday and other fun challenges.  You can always visit us here on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog for lots of great inspiration, too.  Happy crafting..... and add some RIBBONS!

Blessings,

Karen

With Freedom Comes Responsibility Patriotic Greeting Card

Today I am sharing a festive patriotic 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 electric blue Satin with Grosgrain Edge Ribbon across the middle of the card and topped it off with a piece of Patriotic Random Stars Satin Ribbon.  I finished my card off with a pretty bi-color double loop bow and below the sentiment I have added some pretty Sweetheart Blossoms.

The sentiment on the front of my card is from my Patriotic Quotes Digi Stamp Bundle. The interior Sentiment is from the Note Card Sentiments for the Inside Digital Stamp Bundle. The background was created with my Geometric 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.

It's A Wonderful Day

Welcome by today, everyone.  It's your friend, Karen Letchworth posting today and I'm so glad you're here to visit us as I share a sweet card that's adorned with ribbons and tidbits from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  It's an otherwise quick and easy card to create, but the trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon just take it to the next level in my humble opinion.  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this card.

I used basic white cardstock for the base and the top layer.  The top white piece was cut using a cool die called the A2 Lattice Die from Whimsy Stamps.  Once I attached everything, it was time for the FUN stuff.  I ran a piece of pretty Danish Blue Seam Binding across my card and used that to tie a double bow.  I also tucked in some bundled Ivory Burlap String, Light Blue Burlap String, two sizes of (White) Mulberry Leaves, some Double Head Stamens, and it's all topped with some Light Blue Sweetheart Blossoms.  I also tucked in a couple of stick pins for accent.

The sentiment and small heart are from Carta Bella's Spring Market Stamp Set.  I used the Fishtail Banner Die from Stamp Simply to stamp it on.  It's raised up using 3-D White Foam Tabs.  EVERYBODY NEEDS 3-D Foam Tabs and Scor-Tape Adhesive.  Just saying!  The patterned paper underneath the white cardstock is from the Fabulous Florals Paper Pack by Whimsy Stamps.  The really cool thing is this....no matter what COLOR I had chosen to make this (or any other) card, I know that I can always find the perfect color trims and more at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks again for visiting us here today.  Stay creative and be sure to stop here at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog again soon and often to find lots of great inspiration.  You'll always find the most amazing Adhesives, Flowers, ribbons, trims and more at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  We're grateful for YOU and for your visits, comments, RRR Orders and your friendship.  We all wish you an incredibly creative and wonderful week.

Blessings,

Bundle of Joy - It's a Boy

Today it's me, Karen Letchworth, posting here for Really Reasonable Ribbon, and it's always a favorite for me creating with their wonderful products.  While I love making cards all the time, there's just something about adding trims, twines and ribbons to my cards.  Of course, Really Reasonable Ribbon also carries basic essentials such as Adhesives, Embellishments and Mulberry Flowers.  I always enjoy it.

I used black cardstock for the base of my card, and I layered it with patterned papers from a line called Oh Baby by Simply Stories.  This is definitely a much older line from my stash.  All the patterned papers and stickers are from this Oh Baby line.  I used a die-cut from The Greetery to cut the small postage stamp spots.

I used 3-D Foam Tabs for all the pieces that are raised, and I used Scor-Tape to adhere all the things that are flat (papers, stickers, etc.).  In addition to all the fabulous trims of every color, width and style you can image; Really Reasonable Ribbon also carries many crafting essentials.  You'll be pleasantly surprised just how many awesome products they carry.

I added some small Pearl Embellishments to my card and one of the tags.  There are lots of great Embellishments at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I added lots of Baker's Twine to my card and tags.  The card has several colors of Baker's Twine wrapped around it and tied into a bow.  Each tag has various colors of Baker's Twine at the top.

Here's another view of this card.  Below that, I'll share the close-up photo.  I just wanted you to be able to see how cute these papers and stickers are from the Simple Stories Oh Baby line.  The Scor-Tape and 3-D Foam Tabs help hold all the cute papers and stickers securely in place.  The Baker's Twine is the perfect cost-efficient trim.

As I mentioned, here's the super close-up photo.  I hope I haven't shared too many pictures.  LOL  I never feel like my photos show all the details of my cards.  I guess that's just how my mind works.  We've all heard that "we are our own worst enemy".  Right?  The papers are cute, the stickers and cute, and the trims just make it all even cuter.

Thanks again for your visit today.  We're always so grateful for you and we really hope that you have a blessed and creative week.  Any time you think of ribbons, twines and trims; we hope that you'll always think of Really Reasonable Ribbon.  And don't forget about all the fabulous essentials they carry as well.  You'll find inspiration here on the RRR Blog and lots of FUN shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Blessings,

Karen
