Have I told you lately that I love you shabby cards duo by Cherry Nelson

Hello paper peeps! Cherry here on the RRR blog.  I hope all is well and you are safe and sound at home...hopefully getting some craft on?  This little thing called "paper crafts" has saved me from losing it with our current crisis.  How about you?  Since I have had more time to craft I created two cards for Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Both with that time worn shabby feel that I love so.  Both cards use Bay leaf seam binding which is my go to for a soft aqua green.  

I have been getting into making my own flowers using both water color paper and floral foam. It is so relaxing and a great way to get the colors you want and I kinda dig using different types of stamens.

I used bead berry spray clusters in purple and Double head flat mini stamens in coffee for my second card.

This card also uses lace from the store.

Here is the second card using the same ribbon....but very different. This card also uses Spiral stamens in green I used gesso to soften the color.  Another product I have been using a lot. Gesso so fun!

Well my friends that is all for me today!  Keep yourself safe!  Craft on!  

XOXO, Cherry

Mother Gooose Canvas Board

Hi friends! Linsey here sharing my Mother Goose Mixed Media Canvas Board! This is one of my most favorite projects I've ever made to date and I hope you'll enjoy it too! Maybe even be inspired to create a mixed media project with ribbon and trim of your very own!

I used some White Crochet Lace Trims adhered with Mod Podge glue which works really well.

For the banner, I used Wheat Stripe Diva Collection Baker's Twine and added lots of mulberry flowers including Red Open Roses, Mixed Earth Tone and White Open Roses, Sweetheart Blossoms White with Red Center, White Cosmos Daisy Stem Flowers, Mixed Blue/Aqua Cherry Blossoms and WOC White Spiral Stamens. 

I hope you like it! I really enjoyed designing it! I find mixed media art to be very fun and carefree. Very little stress and lots of room for happy little accidents! 😊 Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time, happy crafting! 

Filling Up Your Stocking

Hello sweet creatives!  

I have been in the Christmas spirit lately and started creating some vintage inspired projects using beautiful lace, trims, and embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I grabbed a small knitted stocking, added buttons and the beautiful Francis White Crochet Lace around the top.  Next I added a bow with the Peppermint Baker's Tine and tucked under the sweet Silver Snowflake Charm.  

I filled the stocking with fun vintage inspired image, plastic deer, and tucked in the Red Berry Cluster and White Spiral Stamen.  Then I dusted it with mica flakes to finish off.

This Christmas project was fun and easy to complete.  I hope it inspired you to put a little creativity into your day, sweet friends.

Merry Christmas Doily Tag

Hello everyone,

Today's Merry Christmas Doily Tag was created for Really Reasonable Ribbon (using the beautiful shimmer ribbon from the December Ribbon Club Assortment, flowers, bead sprays, and spiral stamens).  I just LOVE the way this tag turned out with all the beautiful Really Reasonable Ribbon flowers and such. This one is going on a present for under our tree  and already has the writing on the back :)

Tag Design:

Tag was made using Cheery Lynn's Sophia's Heart Doily Die

I then cut 2 circles, 1 for the front (IBFS sentiment), and 1 for the back (to write on). I also airbrushed it lightly on the front with a soft blue copic.

I Brake For Stamps Elegant Merry Christmas was stamped using the Mini Misti tool, and 2 StampinUp! markers. Love the look of the sentiment in the blues.

Flowers, stamens, bead sprays, and ribbon are all from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and all were hot glued on for ribbon cluster look.

Supplies Used:
Really Reasonable Ribbon:
Flowers Cherry Blossoms, and Sweetheart Blossoms, Bead Berry Sprays, Spiral Stamen , Ribbon from this months club kit

This year I have been enjoying creating tags for our gifts. It makes it nice to have big tags for the gifts under the tree as its easier to read who it goes too...hehehehe. Anyway, this is a first for me this year. So far I'm up to 9 tags made. I need more, I think at least 1 for each person would be nice! I enjoyed designing this tag, as I do all my tags.  They really make for nice gifts too!

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!
hugs to all,

Sweet Baby Boy

Hello everyone, today's baby boy card was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the beautiful ribbons, lace, sweetheart blossoms and white spiral stamens.

For the border across my card I used the Swiss Grosgrain Dots "Tan w/Turftan Brown Dots" Ribbon.  Next I used Danielle White Crocheted Lace to create a border across my card. The big gingham bow is made using the 7/8" Light Blue Gingham Ribbon. The ribbon is attached to my card using the Scor-Tape.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these NEW Spiral Stamen Stems. Bonnie carries them in 5 different colors. I used the white on my card. The little Sweetheart Blossoms are in a light blue and come with different shades of blue in a pack. Its the Mixed Blue & White pack!

The little baby clothes, oval, corner piece and writing are all CottageCutz dies. They are colored with Copics, and the frame is distressed with Tim Holtz distress ink. The Design Paper is American Crafts Baby collection. Lastly I added some buttons, and sewing to complete my card.

Thank you for looking and have a super awesome weekend!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl
