Happy Birthday Mini Book with Flowers

Hi Everyone. It's Teresa here today to share a fun and quick mini book I did to give for a special birthday in the family!

The size of my mini book is only 4x6 so it was really easy to make the insides with a 6x6 pad and the coordinating stickers that went with it.  And the best part was the Diamond Satin Ribbon assortment went perfect with it.  It was just the touch I was looking for.

It was easy to make the simple flowers by using a needle and thread to do a running stitch on the side of the ribbons and then after I tied them off, I glued a button from the Buttons Galore pink and white set in each of them. The ribbons are so  pretty with the diamond pattern on them and I could think of so many things to do with them.

Inside the box is a fold-out book and I covered it with Doodlebug Sweet Shoppe papers and the stickers that coordinate with it.  The stamp is from Lily of the Valley and I used chalks and colored pencils to color the image in.

To make it even cuter, I added buttons and bits of colored twine from the Bakers Twine Set #2.

Another staple that I can't seem to have enough of is the Jute Strings.  I used the ivory for the front on the side and it comes in lots of colors so I think I will have to order more just because I love using it so much on my projects.

And lastly I made up a quick card with some fun little monster paper and a pretty green diamond satin bow at the bottom.  This is also part of the set and it really goes great with the papers. 

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment because we love to hear what you think about our ribbons!

Acorn Owl "Thanks a HOOT"

Hello everyone, Cheryl here today with a fun FALL card using Really Reasonable Ribbon!

For my card today I used the Beautiful Gingham Moss Green Ribbon for my bows, one for the sentiment tag and the other for the layered bow. Next I used the Black Double Ruffled Satin for under the gingham bow. The twine I used is 20lb Hemp Natural, and I used it around the top flap of my card 3 times. I then glued my bow on top, and added a button, and a Sweetheart Blossom in brown.

Supplies Used:

Really Reasonable Ribbon Hemp 20lb Natural

Really Reasonable Ribbon Gingham Moss Green

Really Reasonable Ribbon Black double ruffled edge ribbon

Really Reasonable Ribbon Brown Sweetheart Blossoms

CottageCutz Dies Used!

My Acorn Owl is a CottageCutz Die, and is cut out in different shades of card stock. I did distress some of the pieces, and added some white gel pen markings for highlights. The eyes are Pearls. Next I used the CottageCutz Ivy corner die, and the Fall Vine for the Owl to sit on :) I really enjoyed making this fun fall card!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

hugs to all,

Pink Goodness!

 

Judy here today to share a fun vintage shabby design with you. I chose Just My Type from Flourishes for my card today and decided to use some yummy pink goodness with it! Pink is my favorite color, and it always brings a smile to my face! I stamped the sentiment using Memento's Rose Bud ink. My pinking shears (found brand new - vintage - at an antique store!) made some fun edges and I used my distressing tool for some others. Everything is held together with Scor-Tape.

My ribbon choice today is from my favorite Pearl Pink Chevron Ribbon. There are so many fun grosgrain specialty ribbons in the RRR Store now! I added a button from the Berrylicious Button Collection and a tiny little bit of Cotton Candy Baker's Twine. 

Enjoy your day and Happy Labor Day to my American friends!

Stamps: Just My Type by Flourishes 
Ink: Rose Bud (Memento)
Paper: Bazzill Textured Pink, LaBlanche Specialty Stamping Paper, My Mind's Eye DP
Tools and Accessories: paper flower (Recollections), Pink Chevron Grosgrain and Cotton Candy Baker's Twine (Really Reasonable Ribbon), button (Buttons Galore), distressing tool

Quackers & Quack Notepad w/Pencil/Video

Hello everyone,

Cheryl here with a Notepad w/Pencil that I designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the Beautiful Double Faced Light Navy Satin. I used this to create my bow for the front, and then also used on the inside to hold the pencil. 

Inside I used the Light Navy Double Faced Satin ribbon to attach the pencil, and hold it in place. Will show you in a super short video below. 

To put the entire book together I used scor-tape, that can also be found at Really Reasonable Ribbon in the adhesive section. Buttons can be found HERE!

For my cover I used the Darling Quackers & Quack Diecutz , and the super darling border all from CottageCutz dies. These notebooks are super fun to make, and I think would be perfect to have on a desk, or work area, to jot down those notes and things to do.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!

The Sky's the Limit!

Judy here to share a fun spring card using my favorite Baker's Twine from Really Reasonable Ribbon!

My project today is made with images from The {Stamps} of Life.

I loved this designer paper by My Mind's Eye, and decided to pair it with images from the kites2fly stamp set, along with the Kite Die set.

I used Aqua Baker's Twine for my kite tail and in the button. The button is also from the RRR Store and you can see all the MANY available colors and button sets HERE. I used a big button from the Teal Ice set. My banners are hand cut.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Quick and Easy Holiday Gift Ideas...

We all need them, don't we??? Well I know you think those "holiday gift giving times" are far off in the future...I mean, come on, Thanksgiving isn't even here yet, RIGHT?? Right, however, taking the time to start prepping cute little QUICK & EASY handmade gifts NOW will save you so much frustration later!! So as my final project as a guest designer for Really Reasonable Ribbon, I thought I would share with one of my "go to, quick & easy" gift ideas. :   A Double Chocolate Mint Cocoa Gift Kit.

   As you can see the ingredients are simple and relatively inexpensive. Two packages of cocoa, a baggie filled with chocolate chips, and four starlight mints (or two candy canes but I didn't have any on hand yet - I refuse to buy them until November - atleast!!!!).
So to begin you slip all of your kit ingredients into your clear bag. See how cute my mints look all lined up?? ***TIP: Use a bit of adhesive or a glue dot and STICK THEM TO THE COCOA PACKET!!!! :) Keeps 'em looking all cute and in a line!!!

Once you have placed all your kit ingredients into your bag you seal it up and make a paper topper. To do that simply cut a piece of cute paper 3" x the width plus 1/4" of your clear bag. So my bag was 6 1/4" wide, I cut my paper 3" x 6 1/2". Fold it in half and staple it over the top of the clear bag. Next the fun part - EMBELLISHING!!!  

 As you can see, I have used two different types of ribbon here. I first wrapped a length of Ivory Grosgrain around the bottom edge of the paper topper and glued it in place. I then layered on a cute red printed ribbon from October's Monthly Ribbon Club Pack and then glued it in place. And then I tied my bow using the Ivory Grosgrain again with the help of the hand dandy Bow Easy Tool.    

 And you know me and my fetish for embellishments....it was cute with the dual ribbons and the bow but oh why not throw a totally cute Snowman Button from Buttons Galore & More onto the center of the bow for that perfect finishing touch? :)
I have really enjoyed my time designing for Really Reasonable Ribbon and I hope you have enjoyed the array of different projects I have brought you this month. Remember, it's always better with a bit of ribbon!!!
