Hoppy Easter Bunny Wobbler Card

 Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Here's a hoppy little Easter Card with a twist!  The cute bunny on the cover is actually a wobbler! He sits on a small coil of thin wire, and when you touch him, he wiggles like a bowl full of Jello!  I've added a ribbon belly band made from the Pastel Plaid Print Ribbon in the March Ribbon Club. 

Hot Pink Double Faced Satin Ribbon from the March Ribbon Club Assortment adds a wonderful pop of color to this happy little card. I've added some Spring Chrysanthemums and Iridescent Metallic String to the bow cluster for the win. 

TIP: Add lots of dimension to your scene by backing fussy cut elements with layers of foam tabs.  

Add a pocket to the inside of your card, then fill it with sweet Easter Chocolate.  It's Easter Bunny approved!

Since Easter comes late this year, you still have lots of time to get some special Easter cards made.  And don't forget to add some ribbon!

Easter Gnomes Folio

 Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Have you had a chance to play with the March Ribbon Club yet?  I used it to dress up this adorable Easter Gnomes Folio.  Apple Taffeta Ribbon is the perfect shade of green to go with this whimsical creation.  Pastel Vertical Stripe Ribbon makes me think of rainbows and Easter Eggs.  So it's a great accent ribbon for the corners. 

Here's a peek inside this Z-Fold Folio.  The Pastel Stripe Ribbon in the corner is seen from the cover.  I like that it does double duty this way.

TIP:  The Z-Fold design of this folio provides you with space to add a hidden pocket and tag combination and a little flap page, too.  To make the Z-Fold card front, simply score it in half down the middle, then fold the right hand side back toward the spine.  How easy is that?

When the folio is fully opened, you find a pocket filled with a tag and a couple of journal cards.  You can mat a photo on the calendar page, or write a message in code in the squares.  Wouldn't that be fun?

However you decide to use this Spring Ribbon Club Assortment, you're going to love the great patterns, textures and ribbon styles.  It's so nice to be able to pull out our spring papers and ribbons, isn't it?

Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Chicks Shaker Card

 Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Have you had a chance to play with the gorgeous March Ribbon Club Assortment yet?  Oooh la la!  These ribbons just burst with the promise of springtime!  I've used them to create this cute Easter Chicks Shaker Card.

Delicate Stitched Satin is one of my all time favorites.  It is so easy to tie a perfect bow with this soft and supple ribbon! Hot Pink Delicate Stitched Satin Bows add a lovely pop of color to this pastel card.  They also help to draw the eye to my little Mason Jar Shaker  embellishment.  Topped with Iridescent Metallic String and pretty pink flowers, it's a bow cluster worthy of the Easter Bunny.

You can add extra color, pattern and texture to any card by creating a ribbon border.  This is one of my favorite sneaky tricks!  Simply attach Lemon Diamond Satin Ribbon to the card panel with 1/2" Scor-Tape.  Let the ends hang over the sides of the panel so you can wrap the ribbon around to the back.  This leaves a neat and tidy edge.  Then repeat this process with the Multi Print Butterfly Ribbon , but this time use 1/4" Scor-Tape.  

I love the changing of the seasons.  It's so lovely to transition from winter colors and patterns to the light and cheery colors of spring.  Maybe we can encourage the flowers to bloom as we play with our pretty springtime Ribbon Club Assortment!  

Wishing you joy and creativity!

Cheerio,

Pretty Ribbons and Spring Flowers

Hello Friends!  I Must Have Flowers always and always!  Do you feel that way?  I'm not much of a gardener, but I do love pretty floral papers and paper flowers on my projects.  This sweet little springtime card features beautiful ribbons from the March Ribbon Club Assortment.

Light Coral Diamond Satin Ribbon is absolutely dreamy with this paper collection.  I've paired it up with some Iridescent Metallic String in the bow cluster. Iridescent string always adds just the right touch of shimmer to a project.  I use it so often that I buy it a roll at a time.

 



Turn this pretty card into a gift by adding a couple of pockets on the inside.  Fill the top pocket  with a color matched tea bag, note card, and decorated honey stick.


 

Decorate a pretty bookmark with Coral Rose Swiss Dots Satin and Petal Peach Quatrefoil Satin Ribbon.  Stitch the paper bookmark pieces onto some canvas to make a  soft bookmark that will last a long time. 

I hope I've shared some tips, tricks and ideas you can use in your own crafty adventures.

Live True Sweet and Simple Greeting Card

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Spring is peeping around the corners here in North Carolina, and the RRR March Ribbon Club Assortment is perfect for all our spring themed projects! 

I've adorned this sweet and simple 6x6 top fold card with two of the ribbons from this month's club.  Coral Rose Swiss Dots Satin adds some pop to the border of my layered papers.  And Light Coral Diamond Satin Ribbon looks like it was made for the floral cluster on this card.

These flowers make me think of the azaleas that bloom so early in the spring.  I just love them!

The inside of the card is sweet and simple, too.  Room to write a little note, and then a little pocket filled with tea.  It's the simple pleasures in life that are the best after all.

Wishing you a day filled with the beauty of life!

Cheerio,
