Cute Critters Hairbow

 Hello!  Happy Monday!  Misty here with you today sharing my latest ribbon creation.  I decided that I wanted to make a fun little bow in honor of Spring...and in hopes that it comes quickly :) With the perfect ribbons and some cute critter buttons, I set to work. 

I absolutely love the Double Ruffle Satin Ribbon...so these are the ones I reached for first.  The brown, fuchsia, and green apple colors were actually perfect for what I had in mind.  (Psssst... here's a secret-These are not only the last colors remaining in the Really Reasonable Ribbon Shop, but they are also sale!)

I also grabbed a few patterned grosgrains ribbons. The 7/8 inch BabyBlue Swiss Dots, the 3/8 inch Garden Rose Swiss Dots, the 3/8 inch Funky Squares in Sunflower, and the 3/8 inch Capri Blue Chevron. I love picking just the perfect ribbons to create my projects. This assortment was not something I would normally mix together, but when it comes to hair bows...nothing is off limits! 

Once my ribbon was gathered, I  dug into my stash of buttons and pulled out a few little critter buttons. A snail, a ladybug, a frog, a bubble bee, and of course...an adorable turtle sits on top in the center.  I simply glued these cute critters in place once I had finished the bow.

 

I fell in love with how this bow turned out! Those critters, though!!! They are so cute, and I am super excited that the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store had the PERFECT colors and ribbons to match! 

I was looking at the store, and I am thinking maybe a Zoo themed hair bow with zebra and giraffe printed ribbons, or even a Mermaid or beach themed hair bow next.  Y'all help me decide!! 

I love ALL THE COLOR! 

Silly Girl Tied Up With A Bow

Hey everyone.  It's Dana from Got Joy Creations here with you today.  So how's everyone doing?  I hope your ready for a new month because January is out of here!  I'm working on some birthday cards for a few friends and I thought I would share one with you today.

I am in a totally silly mood so making this card for my sweet friend was fun to color.  I used my Copic markers to color this image up.  I love the color combo of red and aqua.  It's one of my favorites.  You can definitely tell so by looking at my blog design. :-)  As soon as I had my image colored I knew exactly what ribbon I needed for my card.

Just look at this gorgeous aqua satin double ruffle ribbon.  And this is just the beginning of the beautiful satin double ruffle ribbon Really Reasonable Ribbon has to offer.  This color is so popular it keeps running out of the shop.  Bonnie is having to order more as we speak.  Next I used this fabulous chevron striped twill ribbon in red to match my color scheme.  Oh this ribbon tied my card together nicely.

Well I'm off to make more cards.  Make sure to swing by the Really Reasonable Ribbon shop to get your hands on the ribbon I used on my card or fill you cart up with all the yummy colors you like.  I mean, who doesn't just love ribbon?!?!

Hugs,
Dana

Wine A Little with Dana Joy

Hey you lovely Really Reasonable Ribbon fans.  The time is near to kick back and enjoy the holiday.  All the gifts are wrapped, meals prepared just in the nick of time.  Now it's time to enjoy a little WINE. :-)  I made some tags for bottles of wine I took to holiday parties but I couldn't leave myself out.  HELLOOOOOO...I need a gift too. :-)

I made my first bow using the Brown Double-Face Satin Ribbon.  LOVE this ribbon.  But then I needed to add a little frill to my tag.  The Yellow Double Ruffles Ribbon was exactly what I was looking for to add some pizzazz to my tag.  Now that is something to celebrate!

Have a blessed holiday!!

Dana

If Friends Were Flowers

Hello to all the Really Reasonable Ribbon friends and fans.  Jenn here!  Love all this great spring weather here in Western Colorado...just glad I am not in the mountains.  Man o man, they are getting hit hard with the snow. Speaking of spring weather, I am LOVING all of the fun floral themed paper crafting projects floating around paper crafting land.  I have a question for all of you, 

What ribbon color do you use most often in the spring?  Answer my question here at RRR and let me know on my personal blog post for a chance to win a RRR mystery prize.  

I gravitate towards bright (sometimes neon) and cheery colors.  A LOT of yellow and bright green!  Love the teal colors too.  Would love to see what everyone else uses too!

On this fun coaster turned tag I used RRR Elastic Double Ruffles Black.  I have used this particular ribbon in past projects and just loved the outcome.  It is such a fun ribbon with the double sided ruffles.  I also used Seam Binding in Purple Nite.  I added a simple orange button to the top of my bow that I tied using the Bow It All.

My Sentiment and flower are both from Crafter's Companion.

Thank so much for joining me today.

Acorn Owl "Thanks a HOOT"

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

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.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Hemp 20lb Natural

Really Reasonable Ribbon Gingham Moss Green

Really Reasonable Ribbon Black double ruffled edge ribbon

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!

I'm Late!

I love snails. But just snails on cards. I don't even like to look at them in a terrarium, but give me a snail image and I love it!

There are LOTS of fun new releases at The {Stamps} of Life and one of them is a darling new set called insides4snails, which coordinates with the Club Set this month, snails2mail.

I stamped my snail using Stephanie's Premium Licorice ink and then used Grape and Artichoke to fill in the snail. My sentiment is stamped in Sky and then cut out using clouds2cut die set. My designer paper is by Doodlebug. 

I hand cut my grass and added a Teal Ice button, Green Apple Double Ruffle Satin ribbon and Plum Baker's Twine (all from Really Reasonable Ribbon) for my embellishments. I LOVE that
Double Ruffle Satin ribbon!

An easy and cute card that is fairly flat for mailing! Thanks for stopping by today!

Stamps: snails2mail and insides4snails (The Stamps of Life)
Paper: Sweet Tooth and Green Apple (Poptone), Lovely Lilac (SU!), Doodlebug DP
Ink: Stephanie's Premium Licorice, Grape, Artichoke, Sky inks

Pennie Pockets /Video

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with a few Pennie Pockets made out of Paper and Ribbons,Laces, and Trims for Really Reasonable Ribbon

I had seen Pennie Pockets made out of material and wanted to do one with Paper, however I could not find tutorials anywhere on this. I looked on Youtube google and SCS and nothing :( So I had  to try to make one and figure it out. And this is what I came up with! 

For my 1st one here,

 I used Really Reasonable Ribbons

Mini Pom Pom Trim

Pink Seam Binding

Amelia Lace

Brown Double Ruffled Ribbon

Pink Satin

Others

CottageCutz /Sweet Things Release(Bird)

Feathers 

Pearls

SU! Design Paper

Cardstock

Hot Glue Gun/ Liquid Glue

On my 2nd one here I used Really Reasonable Ribbon 

Sheer Box Pleated Trim in Red

Ric Rac in Red

Red Satin

On this one I kept it simple and just hot glued the sheer box pleated trim , and ric rac in place. I had the Ribbon Rosette piece already made up and ready to glue on. It has a gem brad in the center of it. 

These are perfect for holding candies or whatnot . I think little wrapped candy in them would make a perfect gift.

Girly Glitz SKULL Mini Album & Video

Hello everyone. I'm Super EXCITED to share with you all my Girly GLITZ Skull Mini Album designed using a TON of Really Reasonable Ribbon :)

So for my album I used on the front cover some Black Jute, Double Ruffled Edge Ribbon, Satin Polka Dot, and Black Satin to bind my album. All are from Really Reasonable Ribbon. In my video I show and tell how I did my album and what ribbons I used throughout.

Really Reasonable Ribbons Used:

Black Jute 1.5"

Black Satin

Satin Swiss dot Black

Garden Rose Satin

Sheer Ruffled Edge Fuchsia 

Bright Pink Satin Double Ruffled Edge

Dots Grosgrain Pink and Black

Black Netting/under trims and lace

For these 2 pages I made a pocket on the left side, and put some tags in it. Then on the other side I used the netting and Helmar Decoupage to create a design on that page. I'm super pleased on how it turned out. I then used the jute on the top to place a bow, the letters and Halloween tag.

This page on the left opens,and you will see that in my video. I made a couple of pockets to add photos and tags for writing. Can't wait to add some Halloween photos of the kids and hubby and I :)

For the last page here I used the CottageCutz Seed Packet Die for the swivel pockets and I will add some photos to the inside of each of those.

This is the last page and is the backside of my Skull Mini Album. I used the CottageCutz Lace Envelope on the back.  Its been a habit of mine lately to add one to each album on the back. I used more RRR and Lace for this page :)

Here is my VIDEO on my Album Hope you enjoy!!!

Brown Satin Double Ruffled Ribbon/For the bows layered

Parrot Green Netting/ for the bottom of the tree

Satin/Grosgrain Double Band Celery/for the bows

I bought 6 Calendar sets from the DCWV Sale and wanted to start on them for next year. I'm not sure what made me decide to start with May.....LOL but im just glad I started it. Now I havent put it together yet, but will be showing the months as they are done, and then will show a video , once the entire Calendar is done.

The tree, Kitty, and the Family lettering are all from The Scrapping Cottage and are called CottageCutz dies! I used Helmar Premium Craft glue to put all the embellishments, and ribbon on here. As for the papers and layering I used Helmar's Acid Free Glue.

Now the spot above the kitty is where the photo's will be placed.

I really enjoyed doing this month for the calendar, and cant wait to share more months with everyone! Thank you for looking!!!

Hope you all have a lovely day!!1
