Woodland Critters Tea Party in a Box

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Fall is the perfect time to cozy up with a hot cuppa and a good book.  That's why I created this adorable Woodland Critters Tea Party in a Box Folio with ribbon, trims and flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Could anything be more perfect on a woodland themed project than Chipmunk Delicate Stitched Satin?  I've used it as the ribbon closure and added it to the pretty Mixed Earth Tone Chrysanthemum floral cluster, too. It's especially lovely when topped with Pink & Brown Twist Baker's Twine bows.  Sweetheart Blossoms add a pop of dimension to the cute banner, too. 

The folio base is made with 110# cardstock that I've joined together with 1/2" and 1/4" Scor-Tape.  I don't need to worry about all these fun flips, flaps and pockets failing when I use this adhesive to hold things together! 

The tea party is tucked snugly inside the center box pocket of the folio.  Flap pages on either side are filled with tags, pockets, mini folios and flips.  When the treats are all gone, the box pocket is a great place to store photos of your tea party! 

 I've topped this little bookmark with more Chipmunk Satin and more Baker's Twine.  It's the perfect finishing accent for the project.  If you're looking for a great, all-purpose fall ribbon, I highly recommend it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Autumn Unicorn card

 

Hello crafty friends and Happy Monday to you all! Today I'm sharing this sweet Autumn card designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using all the gorgeous flowers and ribbons.

For my card today I chose to use some darling design papers that are fall and from Echo park, and then my sweet autumn unicorn svg file I bought. I distressed all her pieces and glued her together, and then added her eyelashes, and dots and so on. I absolutely love fall as well as summer , but I'm so ready for fall colors now. I chose lots of flowers that RRR carries in the shop, and will list them all below for easy finding.  I do plan on giving this card to a dear friend, I hope she loves it.

Autumn Breeze and Crunchy Leaves Note Card

Hello friends.  I don't know about you, but Autumn is my favorite season AND color palette and now is the perfect time to grab some great ribbons and mulberry flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon for all your Autumn crafting!

It's September, so we have an ALL NEW Halloween themed Ribbon Club Assortment just out.  If you haven't grabbed the August Autumn themed assortment, now is the perfect time to join!

Why not grab the August and September Ribbon Club Special Deal?!  

Just $17.50 for both if you are located in the USA.

I created a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" top fold card created with my usual layered look. My digital sentiment is my main focal point with a layered strip of ribbon running under it.  I topped it off with a pretty double loop bow and I added a few pretty Open Rose flowers along the bottom of the sentiment panel.

My card is topped off with a pretty double loop bow created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 Tool using one of the ribbons from the August Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

For a video tutorial on how to create this fun bow, please click HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  For more information on the background cutting file or the digital sentiment, please be sure to visit me on my Make Time to Craft Blog too.  Have a crafty week!

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  It's Kathy here with a sweet Autumn themed card made with the August Ribbon Club Assortment and lovely burlap string.  Fall is the perfect time to add a little rustic texture to your card creations, and burlap string is the perfect way to do it!

Here are some quick and easy tips for making this 5x7 top fold card:

• First, build your card front separate from the card base.  This way, you can wrap your ribbon and string around the front panel.  Once the card front is complete, you can adhere it to the card base.
• Next, add a pop of pattern, color and design with a Hedgehog and Pumpkins Satin Ribbon Border.  Secure this near the base of the card front with 1/4" Scor-Tape.  Leave the cut ends long so you can wrap them around the sides for a nice, neat finish. 
• Wrap the left hand side of the card with Antique Gold and Brown Burlap String. Leave the ends long enough that you can tie on some cute tea themed charms and tie a bow.
• Create a bow cluster with Mixed Earth Tone Magnolias , Trellis Roses, and a burlap string bow. I just love the rustic texture this adds to the card.

Here's a peek at the inside of this card.  

You have to tuck a tea bag into a tea themed card, right?  So I created a little tea wallet and tag for the pocket inside this card.  The Antique Gold and Brown Burlap String look great on that little tag, don't they?

As summer winds down, I love breaking out my fall papers, ribbons and embellishments.  The changing of the seasons is always a nice change of pace.  Have you been creating any fun fall projects?  I'd love to hear about them!

Wishing you joy and creativity today!

Cheerio,
