Sweet Happiness Always Giraffe Card & Video

 

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday to you all! Today's card was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon and The Robins Nest Creative. I haven't made one of these in years, so I wanted to make another one, and on this one I used the darling Cutie KaToodles Giraffe from KaDoodle Bug Designs. Super cute! I also used tons of Really Reasonable Ribbons Flowers on this beauty!

On the Z Tri - Fold card I do have a video showing how I put this together, but leaving out the pockets. I did use some old design paper that was left over from back in probably 2009. I believe this one was K & company. I've been going through some of my old design papers and bringing them out and ready to use on some cards and projects. 

I did all my layers and then added my frame, Giraffe, and then all the gorgeous flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon, along with some ribbons. I added some dew drops to the corners, and then some to the greenery floral arrangement. All details on doing this card can be seen in my video HERE

Floral Decorated Post it Purse

Hello everyone.  Cheryl here today with a sweet Post-It Note pad purse made for Really Reasonable Ribbon using their gorgeous ribbons, flowers and charms. It's funny, I have had this up in my cabinet for about 4 or 5 years now, and thought hmmm, I need to decorate it. I will also post a before photo of what it looked like before I decorated it.

To start with I chose some design papers I had laying around, and LOVE.  I used Mod Podge to add my design paper, and then used it over the paper once it dried to seal. Then I decided I needed to color the blue in, so I used black Copic marker, and then let it dry and sealed it with Mod Podge as well. 

To decorate I chose ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon that I thought went well with the color scheme here.  The black is satin, and the pink is my favorite of the canvas color band ribbons. I added some Chelsea Roses, Rose Buds, and Open Roses to this beauty. I did also use the green leaves and the bronze leaves to finish this off.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies Used:

Rose Buds
Chelsea Rose
Rose
Embellishment leaves
Black Checkerboard Satin Ribbon
Canvas colored band ribbon in pink
green leaves

Next I made another bow using the beautiful checkered ribbon, and then started layering the flowers. I did make some flowers using the seam binding.

Sweet Gift Bag and Gable Box

Hello everyone, 

Today I wanted to share a couple of the bags and boxes I made for Valentine's Day last week. The two I'm sharing were made for my friend Jennette, and the gable box was made for my husband. I had also made another bag for my doctor and then another gable box for my Mom. I used lots of fun Really Reasonable Ribbon flowers, lace, leaves, stamens, and goodies on these boxes and bags.  I really just enjoyed making them to give away, it felt so good!

The bags, they were up in my cabinets.  You know, I had these for a long time, they were kinda flimsy, but after adding the good design paper around them they ended up being super sturdy and very very nice bags, strong enough to hold a heavy large chocolate candy kiss and several other items.

Adding Paper- after  gluing and using Scotch tape runner and 5/8" Scor-Tape (helps to keep paper on WELL)  to put my paper on, I added the beautiful Really Reasonable Ribbon Gabrielle Off White Lace. I also used the beautiful Pearl Pink Delicate Satin Ribbon to create a beautiful big bow, then added the darling Strawberry Brownie Stitch grosgrain ribbon on top of that. I then made my glass flowers using Cheery Lynn's flower dies (my makersmovement) and placed an 8mm white flatbacked pearl in the center of it.

Cluster of flowers and dies-

So I cut out a heart filigree piece using shimmer card stock, then added my white swirls (Cheery Lynn) and placed my Really Reasonable Ribbon White Leaves, Chelsea Rose, Rose buds, Stamens, carnation, Sweetheart Blossoms and such by using hot glue. The CottageCutz Hedgehogs were colored using Copics and then placed using RRR foam tabs. I really had so much fun decorating up the bag here. I will link all supplies used below from the Really Reasonable Ribbon store.

The rose was from the roses he had sent to me, I figured it would be nice in the photo.

Hello everyone and happy Monday to you all! Today I have a Darling Valentine Gable Box I decorated using beautiful taffeta, grosgrain, roses, and other beautiful supplies from  Really Reasonable Ribbon which I have listed below for you. I absolutely LOVED making this darling gift box, it was so much fun to decorate, and will be doing another one too!

On my box I started with a Christmas Gable box my mom had given me.  They came in a package of 4, so I covered up the sides that had snowflakes on them, and the front was an oval, and decided to cover it and cut a heart shape out of the design paper and place a filigree heart over it. Next I used all Really Reasonable Ribbon's beautiful mulberry roses, carnations, sweetheart blossoms, stamens, and leaves to decorate the front, and LOVE how it turned out. The beautiful strawberry brownie ribbon is absolutely DARLING and is one of my favorite Valentine ribbons, it's so sweet in person, pictures really don't do it justice at all. I made a bow with it to place on top of the taffeta pink bow, and love how sweet they look together.

It's so nice to be back in my craft room crafting and making some fun springtime projects, and getting ready to make some albums next, can't wait to work on those!
