Love You a Bushel Layout

One of my favorite things to do to a layout is add dimension, whether that is with layer pattern paper, using pop dots or with ribbons, lace and beautiful embellishments.  

I created this this cluster using the gorgeous ribbons and lace by Really Reasonable Ribbons.  I started on the bottom with the Chloe Natural Crochet Lace and added a bow with the Burlap Ivory String and  Sheer Iridescent Antique Gold Ribbon,  

I then tucked Mulberry Leaves, White and Cream Mixed Carnations and then topped it off with the White Magnolia Flower.

Then I continued layer some vintage lace, buttons and burlap to complete the layout.

I hope this inspires you to add some beautiful dimension to your next layout.

Let God Use You Layout

One of the many things I like to add to our family albums is simple words of faith.  I have collected hymnals over the years and use them in a lot of my artwork.

For this layout I added some gorgeous ribbon and lace from Really Reasonable Ribbon to add dimension and softness to this layout.

I used Sheer Iridescent Antique Gold Ribbon and paired it with the Burlap Natural String.  Then I added the Chloe Natural Crochet Lace and vintage cream buttons.

  I then tucked a few of the Mulberry Leaves around the photo mat.

Wishing you a creative day.

Art Journal

It is easy to add softness and interest to your art journal by adding beautiful ribbons, lace and embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I used one of my favorite combinations, the Burlap String Natural  and the Sheer Iridescent Champagne Ribbon to form bows to "tie together" my watercolor bouquet. 

To add some dimension, I glued the White Netting  to the page and topped it off with the White Magnolia Flower.   

For a little softness, I used Debra Natural Crochet Lace and added it to the bottom of the page.

I hope this inspires you to add some pretty ribbons, lace and embellishments to your next creative project.  

Wishing you a creative day.

Love You a Bushel Layout

Hello Ribbon Lovers!  

I am sharing my recent scrapbook layout using gorgeous ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I used one of my favorite ribbons, the Sheer Iridescent Champagne Ribbon to make a bow.  Then I applied Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to antique the gorgeous Trellis Rose.  Once dried I added Stickles to add more glimmer.

The ribbon and flower added a soft delicate touch to this layout.

Woodland Christmas Joy Easel Card

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  It's Kathy here today with a seasonal card that's very quick and easy to make.  One of the things I love about this time of year is all the sweet songbirds that flock to my feeders in the backyard.  This card celebrates both Christmas, and winter birds which makes me doubly happy!

I just love easel cards because they can double as home decor.  And if you're like me, you're taking things right down to the wire.  The fact that this card is super quick and easy to make is a real bonus in that department! 

I combined an older Christmas collection from my stash (MME Joyous) with this darling chickadee image that I found in Polly's Paper Studio Etsy Shop.   My festive bow is tied with one of my favorite Christmas ribbons: Sheer Iridescent Red Organza.  It adds so much shimmer and texture to the composition.  It's also a very "soft" ribbon so it's easy to use in these multi-layer/multi-loop bows! Of course, I used my handy dandy Bow-it-All Tool!

Inside, I've added a little vintage style postcard where you can add your own personal Christmas message.  The whole card has a lovely woodland feel that I just love.

Have you finished making your holiday cards yet?  Not me!  I'm off to make some more because that clock keeps right on ticking!.

Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,
kathy

Jump Start the Holidays

This month our October Ribbon Assortment is Christmas themed and for those of you that start early to get ahead, then this is perfect for you.  I saw somewhere that a very organized crafter did a Christmas card a day early in fall so that she had lots of cards to send out to all her family and friends and each was different and each was a labor of love... and I love that idea since it get so busy closer to Christmas.  So today is my first card that I did and it was made with a Beautiful Burgundy Sheer Ribbon to match the Teresa Collins paper and chipboard pieces that I used.

I wanted it to be quick and easy to do so I cut out the back piece and embossed a die into it to create a frame and then added another Spellbinders die and then the die cuts.  To glitz it up a bit I used BB new glitter paste on the leaves and I think it came out really pretty and that with the beautiful sheer bow adds wonderful texture to an otherwise flat card.  Be sure and check out all the other Holiday Ribbons and get your orders in quick so you can get started on your cards too.

Thanks for stopping by today... Teresa

Wedding Card by Tracey Sabella

Hi, it's Tracey here to share a special card with you. When I think of weddings ~ ribbon, flowers and lace all come to mind, and I've used each of these Really Reasonable Ribbon products on this card. My mom asked me last week if I would make a card for the wedding of a special couple her and my dad will be attending. This is what I created:

"Love"

Wedding Card

Really Reasonable Ribbon Products:

September Ribbon Club Assortment (Lace)

Wild Orchid Crafts Mulberry Paper Flowers ~ 20mm Open Roses - Ivory/Pale Pink

Tips and Techniques:

I tied a double loop bow with the gorgeous Sheer Iridescent Champagne Ribbon. This is becoming one of my favorite ribbons to create soft bows to tuck into my flower clusters. Ginny's tutorial for the double loop bows can be found here. I also tucked in some of the sweet May Arts Pink Crochet Lace. I just adore the soft touch this lace provides!! 

Here's a side view of the lovely flowers and bow. Bonnie is now carrying a large selection of gorgeous Wild Orchid Crafts flowers in the RRR store. To see her entire selection of flowers, go here. I used the WOC Mulberry Paper 20mm Open Roses in Ivory/Pale Pink along with a Pale Pink Large Open Rose. The shabby edges are created with my Zutter Distrezz-it-All by Donna Salazar Designs. 

I also decorated the inside of the card by layering coordinating papers by s.e.i and tucking a piece of lace from the September Ribbon Club Assortment below the signature block. The sentiment is stamped and heat embossed on a coordinating sticker. I also heat embossed the "Love" sentiment on the card front. 

I hope you've been inspired to grab your ribbon, flowers, and lace from Really Reasonable Ribbon and create a project of your own. 

~ Blessings ~
