I love the look of kraft colored cardstock mixed with the red, white and blue.  It makes me happy!  The beautiful dies used on my card are from Cheery Lynn Designs.  Beautiful ribbon and great dies are a winning combination!

My beautiful bow was made with 5/8" Red and Royal Blue Plaid Ribbon using my Bow-it-All V3.0.

Long May She Wave...

Happy Tuesday all!  Cherry here with a card made for Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I have been planning and scheming getting out my 4th of July goodies....and they did make an appearance on Sunday.  I crafted my little heart out that day....so much fun.  This card was no exception, and to be fair, this card is perfect also for Flag Day.  So I am not jumping the gun too much, lol.

 I started with some patriotic papers, stickers, images, etc and went to town creating my focal point.   I made handmade crepe fringe and added a Craft Spiral silver stamen  in the middle of it.  It reminds me of the corkscrew fireworks.  I also added them to the middle of my ribbons .  They look like fireworks shooting off into the sky to me.  Kinda fanciful?  Just go with it!

 I added my bingo card and fussy cut image of the boy and added dimension by using 3D Foam Tabs from Tombow .  I used Glory Blue seam binding for my bow.  I also used Tiny Poppy Red stars on white grosgrain as a border towards the top of my card for interest.

That is it!!!   I love how it turned out and this has just whetted my appetite for more Patriotic goodies.  I love making them....especially in our gorgeous homeland colors of red, white, and blue.....nothing better!  Thanks for visiting , Cherry

Angel with Ladybug

Welcome back and this is my day to share my card with you.  This very cute ribbon on my card is in the the Really Reasonable Ribbon March Ribbon Club.   Springtime is in the air and Really Reasonable Ribbon has the variety of gorgeous ribbon and supplies for those holiday and birthday cards or projects for this time of year.

Isn't this ladybug ribbon just adorable?  This is the 3/8" Multi Pastel Ladybug Grosgrain ribbon and you can buy this separately but it also comes in the March Ribbon Club Assortment called "Welcome Spring Collection".  What a very nice assortment of ribbon this month to go with those springtime projects or cards.   I used 1/4" Scor-Tape to attach the ribbon and bow on the card which is also available at Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

The gorgeous Wild Orchid Craft flowers also came from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  There is a wide variety of these flowers at reasonable prices.  These flowers are gorgeous on any project or card. 

Check out my Ladybugs Tutorial on how to make these ladybugs.  I made several at a time and store them for future use.

Pink Valentine's Card

 Welcome Really Reasonable Ribbon bloggers and I am so excited to show you two absolutely gorgeous ribbons from the January Ribbon Club Assortment called Sweetheart Collection (shown at the end) from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The Hot Pink Taffeta ribbon is stunning with this card.  Of course, I couldn't have made this bow without the Zutter Bow-It-All V2.  Really Reasonable Ribbon also offers the gorgeous Wild Orchid Craft flowers at a very reasonable price.   I used 1" Scor-Tape from Really Reasonable Ribbon for the bow and flowers and 1/2" Scor-Tape for the Hearts in Line Pink Grosgrain Ribbon with the pearl heart.  Behind the bow and flowers is the 1.5" pink netting.  I have been using different colors of netting behind my bows since it gives a delicate look to the bow and flowers.  If you haven't started using netting, start with the white and after you fall in love with it, Really Reasonable Ribbon offers a variety of gorgeous colors in the netting.

Spooky Halloween Card and Shabby Bow Video Tutorial

Hi friends.  Can you believe it's almost Autumn?  Time flies, but this is my very favorite time of the year.  I love the cool, crisp air, the beautiful colors of Autumn and getting back to crafting more often.

Really Reasonable Ribbon has a HUGE selection of fun ribbon styles for Halloween and Autumn.  In addition to the August and September Ribbon Club assortments, check out the Fun 4 Fall and Halloween sections to see the entire selection.

Not a member of the RRR Monthly Ribbon Club yet?  JOIN TODAY and begin with this fabulous double-pack for a special price!  Each assortment contains 9 styles of ribbon and a total of 17 yards of ribbon and trim.  What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try out new ribbon styles!

On my card today I layered a base of Black Netting Trim which I trimmed down to a width of 1".  Next is a layer of Apple Green Checkerboard Satin and it's topped off with Halloween Chevron Stripes Grosgrain.  My sentiment is layered over this ribbon stack.

I created the fun shabby bow on my Bow-it-All V2.0.  I made a triple-loop bow with Black Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon and clipped the loops and frayed the ends.  To see how I created this bow, please watch the video below.  

Shabby Bow Video Tutorial with the Bow-it-All V2.0

You will see I changed up the color of the bow on this card in the video.  I love the black, but it does not photograph well....

Celebrate The Red, White and Blue

Really Reasonable Ribbon makes it SO MUCH FUN to celebrate any holiday or special occasion with their amazing selection of ribbons and trims.  To help celebrate the 4th of July this year, Really Reasonable Ribbon (and my friend, Rachel) helped me to create some lovely hair bows.  Yes, Really Reasonable Ribbon carries much more than just the ribbons and trims - they also carry all the supplies for creating beautiful hair bows and head bands.  You can see them all here in their Headbands and Clips Category.  They have different sizes for every hair length and thickness so that it's perfect for all hair types from infants to old ladies (like me....LOL).

These smaller bows include several ribbons that were included in the May Ribbon Club, including the Tiny Stars on Electric Blue Grosgrain, Tiny Poppy Red Stars on White Grosgrain, Tiny Electric Blue Stars on White Grosgrain, 5/8" Red White and Blue Striped Grosgrain and Paulette White Crochet Lace.

This larger bow includes the Molly White Crochet Lace, Tiny Electric Blue Stars on White Grosgrain, Red With Satin Grosgrain Edge, Electric Blue Satin, and several other scraps of this and that.  Really Reasonable Ribbon not only has a wonderful Patriotic Selection, but they carry selections for pretty much any special occasion you can image.  You will never have to look anywhere else for your ribbon needs!

Thanks for stopping by today, and don't forget to check back here on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog each day for more inspiration, and also for the fun challenges we offer each month.  We love it when you visit us!

Blessings,

Karen
