Con~Quackulations! Note Card

 Hello Really Reasonable Ribbon Lovers...and Happy Friday to Y'all!

Misty (@Mommyofkidz) here today sharing a super quick little notecard with you.

Have you ever taken a cruise on a Carnival cruise ship? If you have, then you may be familiar with the "Carnival Cruisin' Ducks"game.  Everywhere you go on the ship, you may find a duck that has been hidden by another cruiser.  Basically, it is a real live Duck Hunt...but with toys.  My notecard today is inspired by my most recent cruise...which I just got home from a few hours ago!!!  

Usually I have found larger toys, maybe 2 inches in size.  They are easy to spot and easy to re-hide. 

This tiny little ducky, however, was NOT at all easy to spot! As a matter of fact, I completely missed him and my friend picked him up and gave him to me.  He was the cutest little thing, so I kept him rather than re-hide. 

Normally the ducks have little tags attached with information letting you know who had hidden it, but this one was so tiny and there was not a tag at all.  Of course, the crafty side of me began thinking on how to hide these tiny little duckies, but still have a tag. 

Most of the ducks have tags similar to this one...

                                        This one was too tiny...but then it hit me... A tiny notecard!! 

When I got home, I puled out my crafty supplies and I set to work! 

A simple 3x3 notecard was going to be perfect...but I wanted it to be cute, too. 

Some Gingham Ribbons would be perfect! For this, I decided to use 

3/16" Plaid Ribbon Assortment  (yellow)

5/8 Plaid Ribbon Aqua

but you could also order the two assortment packs and have lots of the gorgeous plaids to work with and make tons of these tiny notecards! 

5/8" Plaid Ribbon Assortment

Once everything was glued in place, I added the tiny resin heart mixed in with my resin beads that I used for the bubbles. 

11mm White Heart Shape Flatback Imitation Pearl Beads

Of course, for the purpose of hiding on the cruise ship, 

All of my information that I wanted to share is on the inside of the card.

Now, this tiny ducky his can be tucked pretty much anywhere on the ship, and the finder can let me know!!!

As you can see, I went WAY overboard (no pun intended!) on this.

Not many people would spend this kind of time making a tag for a duck to hide on a ship. 

However, this is also perfect for a baby shower note card, a baby's first birthday, or anything else..

I was thinking of doing one with the tag...

I Ducking LOVE you! (Ha Ha!)

I Quack Myelf up!!

Perfect for an off beat Valentine's Day Card! 

Just change out the sentiment on the tag and DONE! 

I honestly had a lot of fun making this little note card!

I hope that I have inspired you to get crafty this weekend...If you do, I would love to see what you create! 

Tag me on IG @Mommyofkidz! 

And if I am honest, I think I will make a few more of these for the young ladies that I know that have babies on the way while I am making some for my next cruise! 

Head on over to Really Reasonable Ribbon and grab the Perfect ribbons for your next project! 

Thank you for stopping by, have a WONDERFULLY CRAFTY Weekend! 

Cheery Cherries: Tea Party in a Box Slimline Card

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Would you like to join me for a cheery cherry tea party? Nothing makes me happier than a spot of tea with a friend!

That's especially true when polka dot tea cups and black micro gingham ribbon are on the menu!  This 3/16" ribbon is the perfect size to fit under the cherry buttons on this card.  It also ties the prettiest multi-loop bows!  

The inside of the card hosts a box style pocket filled with everything you need for a tea party for one.

 Tea, Chocolate, Cookies, enough sugar so you can have 1 lump or 2...and the sweetest little demitasse spoon turn this card into a gift.  

Winter months can be dark and dreary, so I love to pull out cheery papers like these and make something beautiful.  It always seems to chase the winter blues away for me.  I hope it works for  you, too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

Super Happy Day by Jenn Cochran

Hi to all the Really Reasonable Ribbon friends and fans.  I cannot believe it is the last week of September.  I guess I better get busy on the Halloween costumes.

Today I have a super simple card using three different ribbons from RRR.

I die cut my butterfly, then I added two strips of micro gingham plaid.  It comes in several different colors. 

Next I added a double bow made with Shimmer Satin in Aqua and red Bakers Twine.  I tied a bow with the bakers twine first then without taking it off the Bow It All 2.0, I tied a single loop bow with the shimmer satin. I brought the center all the way around the center of the bakers twine.  This secured the two together.  

The final touch to this card was adding back the butterfly on top of the patterned paper backing.  I popped out the wings to give a 3D effect.  

Thanks for stopping in!  Hope you have a great week.

Don't Be Afraid to Combine Different Ribbons by Jenn Cochran

Hi everyone!  Welcome to Really Reasonable Ribbon!  Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!  Today I am featuring a card with several ribbons that are all different textures.  I wanted to show you all how you can combine different types of ribbon and still achieve a fun greeting card.

I have used Gingham Orange Micro ribbon.  It is 1/4" and is super easy to make a multi-loop bow.  I added it on top of Canvas Color Band with Stitch Edge-Royal Blue.  I also wrapped my card in Satin with Silver Metallic Edges-Tangerine.  I found that layering these very different ribbons has really added a lot of extra texture!

Hope you have a great day!  Thanks for joining me!
