Hot Cocoa Sleigh with RRR

 

Hello crafty friends and Happy Monday to you all! Today's post is a Hot Cocoa Sleigh I put together for a gift and for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the gorgeous ribbons that Bonnie carries in the shop.

For the sleigh I bought it at Hobby Lobby and then used the cricut to cut out some vinyl for the Merry Christmas. Next I used the Plaid Ribbon Christmas in the 5/8" and 3/8" for the bows on the sleigh and the hot cocoa jar. for the chocolate spoons I used the grosgrain Swiss dot ribbon in 3/8" . I hot glued the ribbons, poinsettias and holly leaves on the sleigh. I did tie on a gingerbread boy spoon for the hot cocoa. and there are two gnome ornaments inside the sleigh. Super fun to make . Lastly I used a sweetheart blossom on the holly leaves and its hot glued on as well

Hope you enjoyed my post today and thank you so much for stopping by! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all

Hugs, Cheryl 

Hello Mini Post it Notepad

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to all!  Today I have a sweet little post it note pad to share using lace, ribbon, lace, flowers and embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

To start with I chose matte board from Hobby Lobby and a die from Stampin' Up to cut this out. Then I used some scrap design paper for the top, it's one of my favorite old pieces. Next I decided to used some pink flowers (carnations and rose buds, then purples too) for the cluster of flowers, they are done on the Gabrielle lace. I also added 30mm green leaves, but it may be hard to see those now, all are hot glued to this part. The big bows were tied using the shimmer pink satin ribbon.  This holds the little post it together.  The little tag is grunge board and it's inked up.  Then I added some vintage flower charms and little rub-ons to it.  This post it pad was super easy to make and super fast.

Guest Designer - Charlene Merrick

Hi, my name is Charlene Merrick, and I was tickled pink when Bonnie asked me to be the Guest Designer today for Really Reasonable Ribbon! I have a few projects to show you here, as well as one more on my personal blog, wheremmsgather (yes, I'm an m&m candy addict). I chose to use various ribbons from RRR's pretty Welcome Spring collection from RRR's April Ribbon Club Assortment for my designs. Since I was tickled pink, I chose this beautiful pink checkerboard satin ribbon for my first project.

I used this cute Sweet n Sassy image, from Cocoa's Tasty Treats, coloring it with Copic markers.  The darker card stock is a deep Bazzill Brown, although I know it looks black in my photo.

Not only did I make this card, but I also decorated a gift box to go with it!  I love making/decorating gift boxes to go with cards I give to friends and family.  This pretty designer paper is from Handmade Memories Paper Pack by Hot Off the Press.  Isn't that checkerboard pattern in the ribbon cool?  I love it!

The following close up photo shows how I looped the ribbon on the gift box.  Since I don't own a sewing machine, I held my loops together with Scor-Tape (love that stuff!)  I used the same designer paper and my scallop punch to make the flower to attach on top of the ribbon.

And here's the card and gift box together!

My next card features the pretty lavendar and blue ribbons from the Welcome Spring collection.  Instead of using designer paper, I used these lovely ribbons to ground my pretty tulip, which is from A Year of Flowers by Gina K. Designs.  I adhered the ribbons to the white card stock with Scor-Tape and the color coordinated brads (which I just happened to have in my stash).  I colored the tulip with Copic markers and used an embossed tulip frame on the white card stock.  My base card is Stampin' Up's retired Perfect Plum.

Thank you for viewing my projects.  Hopefully, they've given you some inspiration for using RRR's beautiful ribbons.  AND, don't forget, I have yet another project on my personal blog that I'd love to have you check out!!  Here's a sneak peek of it:

Have a terrific day!

top it with a bow...

 

This is the time of year when there is a great need for those handmade gifts. From thanking your child's teacher to celebrating the graduate, making a gift is a perfect choice. Today I wanted to bring a project that is simple to assemble and would make that special someone smile...

I used pink jute string for the center of the flower on top of the tin, ivory satin pleated ribbon and baker's twine - lemon (stringing the buttons) for the base of tin.I also used pink ribbon from this month's assortment.

Some Birdy Loves You Gift Set!

 Hello everyone and Happy Friday to all! Today's gift set was decorated with Really Reasonable Ribbon's Pink Polka Dots found HERE :) LOVE THIS STUFF!!!

I decorated a gift box my mom brought me, and then made a treat bag, and a card to match. All birds are cut from the Cricut, tag is from Quickutz. Ribbon is DOTS found here. I also added some flowers, gems and a stick pin.

 Treat bag-

First I made the treat bag with heavy design paper.  I cut it 4 1/4 x 10 1/2 and then scored in the middle at 5 1/4 using the Scor-pal, then 1/2 inch on each side of that(would be 5 3/4",4 3 /4"), then folded the middle up, and the other 2 scores down. For the top fold I used a SU! die, but you can use any shape you like.  For the inside I put a package of mixed nuts but you can use candies or whatever :) Have fun!!!

Card-

Measures 5 x 5

Don't forget Bonnie is doing a DT Call and you can find all details here!  If you LOVE Ribbon you will want to apply ) Good luck to all!!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Hugs,

Cheryl

Birthday Gift Set

 Hello everyone and Happy Friday!!  Wooohooo, the weekend is here :) hehehehehe.  Anyway, today I have a birthday gift set made using the cricut and Really Reasonable Ribbon!!

For my gift set I made a gift box and matching card.  The gift box was cut with the cricut using tags, bags, and boxes cartridge.  I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's Pink Satin 1" found here and I also used the red ribbon from the Ribbon Club assortment found HERE!  I love making gift sets.  They are perfect for giving for birthdays and such!!

I added a handle to the box using 1" pink satin ribbon and I also added a bow to each side with a flower (wild orchid). My sentiment is Heartfelt Creations.
