As For Me and My House

When I was younger, of course, I had no idea who I would marry or where we would live, etc.  I did, however, know for sure from a very young age that I would always be part of a family that loves the Lord and lives for Him.  When I first married my husband in 1985, we were just 19 years old.  We had much to learn about life.  But praise God, we knew that our household would always serve and honor the Lord.  This card and sweet sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs really celebrate that concept.

This card matches the Lord is My Shepherd card I posted a couple of days ago.  You could say that they're a set, I guess.  I used kraft cardstock and created a fun fold with a closure that opens to reveal a fun inside of the card.  The patterned papers I used are from the Colonial Americana 6x6 Paper Pad by Whimsy Stamps.  The little house I cut uses wool felt, patterned papers, a piece of Solid Red Baker's Twine and a very old die set from Papertrey Ink.

The sentiment I used can be found in the Scriptural Quotes Digital Stamp Bundle which is from Bonnie Garby Designs.  I added the sentiment to the tab enclosure that I created earlier in the process.  I attached the sentiment using Scor-Tape.  We all need Adhesives like Scor-Tape and 3-D Foam Tabs, so why not grab them from Really Reasonable Ribbon?

You'll always find lots of great inspiration on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog, and lots of great shopping at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Thanks so much for visiting to take a quick peek at this sweet little card wrapped with Burlap String.  There are so many great trims (and SO much more) waiting for you at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Happy crafting!

Blessings,

Karen

The Lord is My Shepherd

There's nothing like a beautiful Bible scripture or lovely sentiment to place on your card.  While we all love our stamps, they can get expensive.  By purchasing a simple bundle of digital stamps, you can easily and inexpensively expand your collection of sentiments and scriptures.  One really great place to buy those awesome digital stamps is Bonnie Garby Designs.  I love her digital stamps.  And of course, you're always sure to find the perfect ribbons, trims and twines at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I used a light kraft cardstock and patterned papers from Whimsy Stamps.  I layered my papers and cut some smaller squares using a postage die cut from Papertrey Ink.  I placed the papers and random squares of paper around my card using lots of Scor-Tape to hold everything securely in place.  I printed my sentiment and placed it on 3-D Foam Tabs to raise it.  As I mentioned, the sentiment is from Bonnie Garby Designs and can be found in the Scriptural Quotes Digital Stamp Bundle.

I took a very long length of Natural Burlap String and wrapped it around my card several times, tying it into a bow on the front of my card.  I absolutely LOVE Burlap String.  It's such a fabulous trim, it comes it so many great colors, and it's just TEN CENTS per yard.  One person who visits Really Reasonable Ribbon to see all their fabulous trims and leaves me a message here on this post telling me their favorite color of Burlap String will WIN a 10-yard bundle of Burlap String from me.  I will post the lucky winner's name in my next RRR blog post.

The sweet little sheep I added were created using cream and brown wool felt and were cut using the super cute Primitive Sheep Die Cuts from Whimsy Stamps.   They're just so sweet, and I thought they really went well with the sentiment.  Please be sure to stop by Really Reasonable Ribbon to do some shopping for Adhesives, Mulberry Flowers, and ribbons/trims galore.  Thanks so much for visiting me.

Blessings,

Karen

Autumn....Letting Go

Hello, creative friends!  Welcome by today as I share a pretty Autumn card that I created using a few of the fabulous trims and products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I just LOVE the charm, warmth, depth, texture and dimension that trims add to our cards and projects.  Really Reasonable Ribbon always has the perfect trim for every one of your creations.  I used an lovely sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs reminding us that Autumn's beauty can remind us of the joy we can receive by letting go of the past and looking to the future.

For this card, I used black cardstock and patterned paper scraps and stickers from a familiar old Crate Paper line called Farmhouse.  It's so charming, and the colors went well with my Fall themed card.  I used various sizes of the Postage Dies to cut my layers that I attached using Scor-Tape and 3-D Foam Tabs for dimension.  Once I layered up all the patterned papers, I attached my sentiment which is from Bonnie Garby Designs.  There's always a perfect sentiment to be found in the Autumn Sentiments Stamp Bundle at Bonnie Garby Designs.

The trims I attached to my card include a length of Olive Burlap String, Ivory Burlap String, and Orange Burlap String.  I also tucked in some Double Head Stamens.  There are so many great products like these at Really Reasonable Ribbon to adorn your cards; and they really do come in just about every color you can imagine.  Burlap String is yet another trim that RRR carries in most every color imaginable.  It's an affordable accent that adds so much.

Thanks again for stopping by today.  There's so much great inspiration here on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog and on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Instagram Page.  We hope you'll think of us for all your ribbon, trim, twine, adhesive and flower needs.  Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone.

Blessings to you,

Karen

Happy Anniversary Card

Today I am sharing a pretty anniversary card I created for my son and daughter-in-law.  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 smoke blue Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon across the middle of the card under the sentiment panel and topped it off with a piece of bluebird Plaid 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 and also the interior sentiment on the card is from my Happy Anniversary 2 Digi Stamp Bundle. The background was created with my Delicate Woven 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.

Oh Happy Day

Hi, everyone!  It's your ribbon-loving friend, Karen here today.  When I start creating any type of card or project, one thing I can always count on is that Really Reasonable Ribbon will have the perfect color, design, width, etc. of ribbon or trim that will work with it.  That's because they carry adornment of every kind in so many great styles and colors, widths and choices.  It makes it the FUN part of adorning our projects.  Really Reasonable Ribbon also carries great items like Scor-Tape and other Adhesives, Embellishments, Mulberry Flowers and much more.

I don't often use a lot of yellow; but like I mentioned already, Really Reasonable Ribbon carries the perfect colors every time.  I challenge you to find a color that doesn't have a matching trim at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Seriously.  I used some older patterned papers from my stash and attached everything securely using Scor-Tape.  The little sentiment is from an Echo Park Spring Market stamp set.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Across the middle of my card, I ran lengths of Moss/Cream Gingham Ribbon and the Maize Gingham Ribbon which are secured with pieces of Scor-Tape.  The Button card was stamped using an older stamp set from Papertrey Ink.  It's topped with some pretty Miniature Yellow Sweetheart Blossoms, a Pastel Green Apple Blossom, Solid Mint Baker's Twine and Double Head Stamens.

Be sure to check all the amazing inspiration here on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog and stay up-to-date about special sales and promotions.  We're sure grateful for your visit here today, and we all hope you're having a creative week.  Thanks so much and happy crafting, everyone.

Proud To Be an American

Just one more day until we celebrate Independence Day here in the United States of America.  The 4th of July is a special day for our country, and it's an opportunity for each of us to thank God for all those who have served this great country to give us the freedoms and rights we enjoy today.  If we don't humble ourselves before God and start appreciating our country, all those rights and freedoms can be taken from us.  Be educated, friends.  America, as we now know and enjoy it, is worth protecting.  Let's celebrate our great country together and join in prayer for the future of our great country.  We truly are a blessed nation.

This simple patriotic card was created using a piece of watercolor paper that I rubbed with Tim Holtz crayons and then rubbed with my finger and a bit of water to "smudge" the colors in an attempt to create a flag in the background.  I used this as my backdrop and then cut the flag design using the Eyelet Rectangle Dies from Pretty Pink Posh.  I used the pierced holes created by this die-cut to add some Cherry Baker's Twine giving my border a POP of color.  My paper layers are held together using Scor-Tape.

I used the Patriotic Sentiment Stamp Set from Stamp Simply on my card.  This is a very simple card, but I wanted to show you all how quick and easy it is to create a fun card using Baker's Twine or other trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon to add accent and color to any project.  The Scor-Tape and 3-D Foam Tabs are everyday essentials for me (and for most crafters).  If you don't have a regular place to purchase your Adhesives - such as Scor-Tape and 3-D Foam Tabs, I hope you'll think of Really Reasonable Ribbon next time you need them.

I love how using 3-D Foam Tabs can give your cards added layers of paper that provide textures and charm like nothing else can do.  Incorporating fabrics, textiles, cardboard, etc. is always a cool touch; and Scor-Tape from Really Reasonable Ribbon will hold it all securely in place.  I hope my patriotic card today was a blessing and an inspiration to you, and all of us here at RRR wish you and your family a happy and blessed 4th of July.

Spread happiness,

Karen

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

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,

Karen

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
