Easter Squeak Memorydex card

Hello everyone and Happy Thursday to you all! Today I am sharing this darling Easter Memorydex card using Easter Squeak, isn't she darling? You could always use this layout on a card as well. I'm just loving these memorydex cards as I get to see them every time I'm crafting, and I change them up by just spinning it. Love that! 

I start out with all my cards measuring about 4 1/4" x 5 3/4" , then covering with design paper choices,then cut down the top using different edge dies. Next I cut out my shaped layers so I have a starting point to work with. I will then cut some greenery and pick what I'm gonna use on the center(unless I've picked it already) , I also pick up some of the embellishments I think I may use. This one here I chose to use this darling Easter Squeak and love her!

Close Your Little Peepers Card

Hello crafty friends and Happy Friday to you all! Today I made a Gift card similar to the Memorydex one I did a week or so ago. This one was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the Beautiful Flowers, Ribbons, and pearls they carry in the shop. Also no sewing on this one, shocking right?

So for my card I chose to use some layers of design paper I had left over from my memorydex card, and then used the blue card stock that was leftover as well. I used a die cut for the bottom of my large layer, and added some distressing , dots, and half backed pearls(base blue measures 5 1/4" x 5 1/3") I then added another layer on top of that one that measures 5" x 3 3/4"  , and layered on that is a frame, with oval cut outs. I then used this darling "Close your little Peepers: SVG file I bought from Kadoodlebug. Once I had all my layers, then I added the double bow, swirl floral die cuts in green, and all my flowers. Lastly I added my tag and bakers twine in three different colors. Super fun card to put together, and came together quickly. There is no sewing on this card, and I did do the inside for writing. All items used on my card will be linked below for easy finding.

" A Little Something" Easter Card

 

Hello everyone and Happy Monday to you all! Today I have this super cute Easter card made for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the beautiful ribbon and flowers from the shop. Hope you enjoy my post for today!

On my card I picked some cute pattern paper from my stash.  There was so much to go through and try to match up that it took me a long time...hehehehe.  I think picking my design paper took me longer than actually doing the entire card. Next I had to use these darling bunnies, and I cut out a few die cut shapes. I did color them with Copics and then added some glitter. 

Flowers: I love all the flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon and for this card I chose the chrysanthemums, 20mm open roses, and then the yellow rose buds. I also used some leaves, and then the blue ribbon from this months Ribbon Club Assortment. The little tag was punched out and a StampinUp! stamp for the sentiment.

• Supplies used:
• Chrysanthemums
• open roses
• rose buds
• foam tabs
• scotch advanced tape
• Ribbon from this months ribbon club(blue taffeta ribbon)

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you have a lovely day!

Happy Easter Bunny with a Carrot Car Card

 
Hello everyone and Happy Monday to you all! Today I have a super sweet Easter card made for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the beautiful flowers, ribbon, and embellishments. I LOVE making Easter Cards as they are so cute and fun to create.  I hope you enjoy my post for today.

On my card I had to go through all my design papers to find some that I thought would go perfect with this little bunny carrot car, heheeh.  I did three layers and then added the main panel using die cuts and then layered with the bunny carrot car die. I then added lots of Really Reasonable Ribbon flowers and the pink bead berry sprays. I also added some sewing and finished the inside of the card as well.

CottageCutz Bunny Carrot Car was colored using Copics, and the Happy Easter stamp is StampinUp!  I also used the punches for the circle and scallop. The swirl floral in green was done using a Cheery Lynn die, and I then added some flat backed pink pearls.

• 15mm open roses 2-tone pastel rainbow

Happy Easter!

Hello, crafty friends! It's Gloria with you today! I rarely get to post to the blog, so this is a treat for me! I missed out on the Really Reasonable Ribbon hop this month, so I asked if I could do a post later in the month, so here we are...later! 

I am using the March Ribbon Club, which is filled with spring! It is like a packet of Easter eggs! I love seeing the new ribbon assortments each month. Each one is prettier than the last! 

I wanted to color something to match the ribbons, so I chose this digital stamp by Power Poppy called Wreath: Succulents and Baubles. I colored the image with Copic markers, then added some sparkle with a glitter pen.

I had printed the image with the accompanying Christmas message in the center of the wreath, so I cut out the center of the wreath to remove the sentiment. I then stamped an Easter message instead! The Easter stamp is from a set by Taylored Expressions called He is Risen. I love how you can alter the stamps to get more use out of them! 

I matched up three of the ribbons from the March ribbon club: Garden Rose Swiss Dots Grosgrain, Sherbet Delicate Stitched Satin, and Turquoise Shimmer Satin. I created a giant, puffy bow for the card. This card will need a box or padded envelope in order to mail it! The card is 6 1/2" tall by 5" wide, which is an odd size, but I can make my own envelope and it will still fit in a standard-sized padded mailer. Win-win! 

The paper I used is from the Authentique Dame Collection. I used both 12x12 and 6x6 prints. It was fun to match up prints with the Copic colors I used for the image and the ribbons from the Ribbon Club Assortment. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hippety Hoppity Here Comes the Easter Bunny!

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Here in North Carolina, the grass is getting green, the trees are starting to bud, and the daffodils are poking up out of the ground.  Spring is definitely on the way, and you know that means the Easter Bunny will be here soon!  Time to break out our March Ribbon Club Assortment and make beautiful springtime projects!

This is my very first Easter card of 2018.  Don't you just love these sweet little Easter Bunnies?  I've dressed this card up with Turquoise Shimmer Satin Ribbon from the March Ribbon Club Assortment.  This assortment is perfect for springtime crafting!   I've topped it off with a loopy Ivory Burlap String Bow and a flower from my stash.

I've tucked a bunch of little Easter treats into pockets on the inside of the card.

The upper pocket has this sweet little tag and a mini envelope filled with a tiny wrapped chocolate.

The bottom pocket has this cutie patootie tea bag wallet and honey stick inside.  I've dressed up the honey stick with a double loop bow tied with Green Flash Diamond Satin Ribbon.

I hope I've shared some ribbon tips and tricks that you can use in your own Easter crafting. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cheerio,

Soft & Shabby Woodland Style Easter Card

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  I have been having the best time creating spring cards with the March Ribbon Club Assortment.  It's added a whole new level of happy to my time in the studio.  Today I have a soft & shabby Woodland style Easter card to share with you.  It has pretty purple polka dot ribbon, a shimmering butterfly and gorgeous papers from Graphic 45's Sweet Sentiments collection.

This Grape Satin Swiss Dot ribbon makes a beautiful belly band for my card. The color blends perfectly with the pretty floral papers.  After tying my triple loop bow on my Zutter-Bow-it-All Tool, I topped it with an Ivory Burlap string bow. 

The stamped and die cut butterfly is sponged with Distress Inks, then lightly coated with Stardust Stickles. 

I created pockets on the inside of the card and then filled them with sweet little Easter treats.

I tied a snippet of that pretty Grape Swiss Dot Satin Ribbon around my handmade button card and used it to finish off my little art tag, too.

I hope you are having fun creating with pretty spring ribbons and beautiful papers, too!

Thanks for joining me!
Cheerio,
kathy

Easter Wishes

Hi there crafty peeps!  It's Amber here today to share with you a card I made with some gorgeous ribbon and lace from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store.  There is a GREAT SALE going on right now through Friday 3/6, so now is a  great time to stock up!  I decided to get a bit of a head start on my Easter cards for this year.

I used an image from the "Easter Wishes" stamp set by Flourishes.  I colored it with my Copic markers.  The papers are from Websters Pages "New Beginnings Collection".  I matted the paper with Lemon Chiffon cardstock from My Favorite Things.  I added a few yellow pearls from BoBunny as an accent.

I wrapped the blue ribbon from the Pastel Diamond Satin Assortment around the card.  I then wrapped Sandra White Crochet Lace on the top of that.  I wanted it to reflect the ribbon tied around the egg in the stamped image.  I then added an assortment of spring colored Mulberry flowers as an accent to the bow I created with the same blue ribbon and my Bow-It-All tool.  I hope this inspires you to pull out your spring crafting supplies and whip up some fun Easter/Spring creations of your own.  Have a wonderful day!

Happy Easter!

  Hi everyone.  Happy Easter to all.  I hope you have a wonderful day with family and friends.   I'm cooking for the family for Easter (read as 'have been cooking and baking for days'!), so this will be a quick post.   

 

This is a fun basket weave type of ribbon background made with Shimmer Satin from Really Reasonable Ribbon that I did for the March issue of Paper and Pixels Magazine.  You will find a tutorial for this background in the March issue.  This is a fabulous online magazine that features tons of tutorials, freebies and other eye candy each month for only $1.50/mo.  If you have not checked them out yet, I encourage you to do so.  Tell 'em RRR sent ya.

 

I used pastel ribbon because it's an Easter card, but this would be fabulous with browns too, or any color combo you want.

 

You may have noticed my little jute flower embellishment too.  You're going to be seeing lots of them because I just LOVE them.  If you missed the tutorial, you can find it HERE.

I found a little time to color up an cute Easter image from Whimsie Doodle that I had on hand too.

 

Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!

Bunny Blue

Hello everyone and Happy Friday to all!!!  Today I'm sharing my bunny card made with light  blue wrinkle Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Ribbons & Lace used:

Light Blue Wrinkled Ribbon in 1/2", and 1.5" found Here

Lace is from Ribbon Club Assortment HERE!

Pearls are HERE at RRR

 Wild Orchid Flowers

 Image is from Angels Landing

I love RRR's Wrinkled Ribbon.  It's super easy to make big bows with and works perfect for borders too. I added the lace on top of the 1.5" Light Blue Wrinkled Ribbon.  My bow had a total of 10 loops (5 on each side).  This ribbon sits perfect :)

My design paper is left over pieces.  I'm sooo trying to get rid of some of these pieces I have laying around.  I used the Martha Stewart punch for the branches, and then a stick pin. Lastly I've added some sewing :)

Thank you for looking and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Hugs,

Cheryl
