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!

Dream Come True Card

Hello dear friends.  Do you have a special someone that just reached her lifelong goal, graduated college, had her first baby or buying her first home? 

 Why not create a special card to let her know just how proud you are of her.  

I did just that using the beautiful pink ribbons from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Monthly Assortment, Ivory Burlap String, Cindy White Crochet Lace and Flower Shaped Round Pearl Embellishment.

It's easy to create a beautiful card to share with that special someone.

Wishing you a wonderful day dear friends.

Spring Bouquet Card

Hello ribbon lovers.  Today, I am sharing an easy spring bouquet card using one of the beautiful ribbons in the Really Reasonable Ribbon's March Ribbon Club Assortment.

I am loving the spring color assortment in this month's Ribbon Club Assortment pack.

These ribbons are so versatile to use for all your spring crafting needs.

For this card, I used a black and white flower image.  Next, I used watercolors to add a soft pop of color to this card.

Then I added a little glimmer by adding some Stickles to complete the card.

I hope you enjoyed another fun and easy project using beautiful ribbons.  Wishing you a creative day, dear friends.

How Do You Like Your Easter Eggs? Decorated in Ribbon, Please!

I like mine all decorated in Soft Spring colors just in time for Easter!  Happy Good Friday, Really Reasonable Ribbon fans!  Jan here to share a super simple idea, just in time for Easter.  If you have kids in your life, this is a perfect craft for them as well as you :)Start with either ceramic eggs that can be purchased at a craft store or make some hard boiled eggs and decorate them.  I have both kinds on hand and decided to use the ceramic eggs so I can use them from year to year.Gather some of your favorite ribbon, tulle, flowers, lace and  Quick Dry Adhesive.

The little pillars can be purchased at a craft store in the cake decorating department.

The ribbons I've used are Swiss Dots Grosgrain Pink and the aqua floral print that's in the March Club Assortment.

These are a perfect way to add some Spring decor to you home.
