Happiness Blooms Here

Hello, Friends!  Spring is in full bloom here in North Carolina, and the flower gardens are starting to show off with beautiful floral displays.  This inspired me to create  a flirty, feminine card featuring Really Reasonable Ribbon Mulberry Flowers, 3/8" Coral rose Mini-Check Ribbon, and Iridescent Metallic String. 

I've clustered sweet Cherry Blossoms, Trellis Roses, and White Chrysanthemums around my focal image.  Then I added a sweet bow cluster tied with the Coral Rose Mini Check and Iridescent Metallic String.  The mini-check ribbon is also tied through the tops of some tags in a background layer.  Burlap string, a little floral charm and a soft pink Sweetheart Blossom help draw the eye. 

 Here's a little peek at the goodies I tucked inside the card.  It's always fun to turn a card into a gift!

Hope you all have a wonderful, restful weekend!

Springtime Garden Slimline Card Folio

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Welcome to my springtime garden!  It's bursting with beautiful spring blossoms and trimmed out with lovely pastel spring ribbons from the RRR shop.  I've used two of my favorite ribbons to adorn this 8 1/2" x 4 1/4" slimline card folio: Buttercup Double Faced Satin and Coral Rose Mini Check Ribbon.  What a pretty color combination they make!

To create the ribbon border on this card, run 1/2" Scor-Tape about 3/4" inch from the left hand edge.  Then cut a slightly longer piece of Buttercup Double Faced Satin Ribbon and press in place.  The long ends will wrap around your card panel, leaving a neat clean edge.  You can repeat this with the Coral Rose mini check ribbon.

Now add a pretty bouquet of Mulberry Flowers to complete our paper garden.  I chose Mixed Pastel Magnolias, Mixed Pink Trellis Roses, and a Mixed Pastel Sweetheart Blossom to add to our garden.  I  hope that cute little bunny doesn't get to them before I get them potted!  

Thanks so much for stopping by, friends!  Wishing  you lots of sunshine and creativity!

Cheerio,

Here's My Heart

 Hello, Friends! Here's My Heart just in time for Valentine's Day!  I've loaded this Victorian style wall hanging with so many beautiful mulberry flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon!  Then I tied it all together with lots of feminine 3/8" Coral Rose Check Ribbon.  It's my take on a tussy mussy, and I had so much fun putting it all together!

I dressed up my tussy mussy with:

• Mixed Pink 15mm Open Roses
• Mixed Pink 15mm Open Roses
• Mixed Pink Sweetheart Blossoms
• Mixed Red Carnations
• Mixed Pink and White Cosmos Daisies
• Mixed Pastel Magnolias
• White English Roses (discontinued)

Beautiful flowers and romantic ribbon make me happy!  

Wishing you all a joyful and creative day, friends!

Cheerio,

Easter Lambs, Bunnies and Chicks Shaker Card

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Kathy here with a sweet little vintage style Easter shaker card that features the Coral Rose Small Check Plaid ribbon from the April Ribbon Club Collection.   White Iridescent Metallic String adds just the right amount of sparkle and shine to the bow cluster.

 This shaker card is also an easel, so it's perfect to add to your Easter Home Decor. 

I've added a little pocket, chocolate treat and mini note card to the pocket inside the card.

With all the social distancing going on, I think it's more important than every to surround ourselves with pretty things to help us celebrate this wonderful holiday.  I hope this post has added a little cheer and beauty to your day today.  Stay safe and well!

Cheerio,
kathy
