Shabby Wish You Were Here Card and Hello Sunshine Card Set...by Cherry Nelson

Hello my fellow ribbon peeps. Cherry here today to share a couple of old fashion cards with you.

I hope you are all home safe and sound. 

 

This soft little number uses Rose Petal Seam Binding.

I love seam binding....I have pushed myself away from it to try other ribbons...but I will always love the soft unobtrusive look it adds to a project.

I added some gorgeous Maggie Holmes goodies from her Heritage collection.  So classy and soft.

I also added some pretty flowers, sequins randomly adhered, and some white Gesso to add a distressed and textural look.  

Next up?  This sweet shabby confection.  I told you I was crafting a lot.

It uses Noble Peacock Seam Binding and  Chelsea Roses along with a gorgeous Lotus Flower in pink

I hope you enjoyed my cards here today!  Stay calm and craft on!

XOXO, Cherry

Spring Card by Cherry Nelson

 Hello RRR paper peeps!   Cherry here to share an ultra shabby Spring card.

It is an all occasion card using gorgeous pink seam binding

and Lotus flowers.

I have been having a ball using mixed media techniques...I used some gesso, cheesecloth, and snippets of a vintage hankie to add texture.  I also embossed some of the chipboard to add a pop of color.

Well paper friends, that is it for me!!!  Enjoy, Cherry

Beautiful Fall Mixed Media Home Decor

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!   Here we are at the very end of August and I can feel fall peeping around the corner.  After a extra hot and sultry southern summer, I am more than ready to welcome it!

I have so enjoyed working with the ribbons in the August Ribbon Club Assortment.   I had one last fling with them while making this 9" x 11" wall hanging.  The bows on this vintage hanger are tied with Turftan Brown Delicate Stitched Satin and 3/8" Brown/Cream Plaid.  Topped with some vintage buttons from my stash, they provide just the right finishing touch, and a perfect color match for this Prima Autumn Sunset paper collection.

Soon we'll be trading in out flip flops for wooly socks and our petunias for pumpkins.  I love the change of seasons, and since fall is my favorite, I'm especially looking forward to this one.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cheerio,
kathy

Sweet Dreams Autumn Sunset Card

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Fall is peeping around the corner, so it's time to break out your August Ribbon Club Assortment.  Today's Sweet Dream Autumn Sunset card is loaded with fall imagery, gorgeous mixed media texture and of course, beautiful ribbons and flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I am loving the plaid ribbons in the August Club.  This 3/8" brown/ivory plaid is the perfect accent for this 5 1/2" square card.  Ribbon is a lovely way to add texture to your cards and layouts. 

After tying this 2 1/2" double loop bow with my Zutter Bow-it-All Tool, I topped it with Mixed Earth Tone Cottage Roses from Wild Orchard Crafts.  These little 25mm roses are the perfect size to add to a bow cluster. 

Inside the card, I added some pretty paper layers and a pocket.

Then I used my scraps to make this little tea bag wallet.

You could also use this as a gift card holder if you did not want to add the tea.

Fall is my favorite season of the year, so I am really enjoying the August Ribbon Club assortment.  After the hot summer we've endured here in North Carolina, I hope you will forgive me for wanting crisp autumn days and cooler autumn nights! 

Wishing you a day filled with joy and creativity!
Cheerio,
kathy
