Happy Gift Box with RRR

Hello crafty friends and Happy Wednesday to you all! Today I have this fun little gift box I made for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the gorgeous Taffeta ribbon, just love how it makes such a gorgeous bow on top of the box.

I also used on my box some scar-tape to add my design paper pieces, some foam tabs to add the cute little bear, and some twine to tie my tag on top. The bear I had done a couple years back and it was ready to use, so that made this come together quickly.

Really Reasonable Ribbon supplies:

• Taffeta
• Scor-tape
• foam tabs
• twine

 

Thank you so very much for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Christmas tag

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all! Today I made a super fun Christmas tag using Really Reasonable Ribbon Club Assortment that was in November . I chose the Sherry Taffeta Ribbon & Merry Christmas on Tan satin . Love how this one turned out.

For my tag I chose some larger die cuts , and did different layers, using foam tabs to give it some dimension. Nest I stamped my sentiment on the oval frame using black ink, and then hot glued the flowers, and bead berry sprays. My bows were done using the Taffeta and Satin, tied together using the stem from the flowers. I love using those to tie my bows. Lastly I added some bakers twine to tie onto my package.

Supplies :

• Sherry Taffeta Ribbon
• Merry Christmas on Tan Satin Ribbon
• Cosmos Daisy Stem Mix Red/White
• 10mm open roses Mixed Christmas Color
• Bead Berry Spray Clusters Red
• Bakers Twine

Thank you for stopping by and Hope you enjoyed my post for today!

Creating a Patriotic Greeting with Not One, But TWO Shakers by Cherry Nelson

Hello my paper peeps!  Cherry here today to share a  Patriotic greeting .  I reallllly do NOT think I will ever tire of making shaker cards.  So adding two shakers instead of one to a card was just a natural inclination.  I die cut some postage stamps from chipboard and embossed them.  Next up was adhering some recycled  acetate along with foam strips. I then went to town filling these little cuties with sequins and die cut  mini stars.  

I used some paper scraps that were not quite big enough so I cut strips of navy cardstock and used them to border each pattern paper.  I thought it was kinda of a cool idea too because it reminds me of the stripes on our beloved flag.  In keeping with the patriotic air mail theme, I used Taffeta ribbon in red, white, and blue.  This is my favorite ribbon for bows.  Soft enough to loop but stiff enough to keep its shape.  

I embellished the rest of the card using lots of fun mail themed goodies.  A mini envelope, die cut stars, flourishes, die cuts, and a handmade Foamirian flower and leaves that I have become obsessed lately with making.  I used stamens from the RRR website for my centers. 

Well that is it for me!  Hope you enjoyed. 

XOXO, Cherry

Valentine's Day Decorated Gable Box

Hello everyone and happy Monday to you all! Today I have a Darling Valentine Gable Box I decorated using beautiful taffeta, grosgrain, roses, and other beautiful supplies from  Really Reasonable Ribbon which I have listed below for you. I absolutely LOVED making this darling gift box, it was so much fun to decorate, and will be doing another one too!

On my box I started with a Christmas Gable box my mom had given me.  They came in a package of 4, so I covered up the sides that had snowflakes on them, and the front was an oval, and decided to cover it and cut a heart shape out of the design paper and place a filigree heart over it. Next I used all Really Reasonable Ribbon's beautiful mulberry roses, carnations, sweetheart blossoms, stamens, and leaves to decorate the front, and LOVE how it turned out. The beautiful strawberry brownie ribbon is absolutely DARLING and is one of my favorite Valentine ribbons, it's so sweet in person, pictures really don't do it justice at all. I made a bow with it to place on top of the taffeta pink bow, and love how sweet they look together.

It's so nice to be back in my craft room crafting and making some fun springtime projects, and getting ready to make some albums next, can't wait to work on those! 

Here is a close up of the front of my box.

Christmas Magic Book Box & Tag Set

Hi friends! Well, Christmas is just about upon us and I'm feeling very merry these days! I'm so happy to be able to share with you a project that I enjoyed making so much and it is brimming to the top with Christmas cheer! Linsey here today--I invite you to come along and see all the magic and sweetness this holiday home décor book box holds!

 The front cover of my book box is loaded with Red and Ivory Aster Daisy Stems, WOC White Magnolias and White Bead Berry Spray Clusters for sparkle and pizazz! The 5/8" Red Taffeta Ribbon adds decadence and charm to the piece. Some Natural Burlap String tied into a bow and to the buttons lends a bit vintage goodness to the box and ties in beautifully with these darling vintage-style papers to complete the look. I added gold foils around all the edges and a vintage metal keyhole and key, as well as a metal clothespin inscribed with the word "timeless", which I believe is one of the words that describes the true meaning of Christmas.

And now for a look inside. This is the inside of the front cover and it has pocket and tag for writing the title and year. More red taffeta and daisy asters were added because I love them so much! 

Lots of tag and pockets for journaling fit inside the book box. Much more could be added as well since there is so much space!

Along the inside base of the box, Debra Natural Crochet Lace trim was added. I think it's a perfect touch of softness for this sweet theme. Arianna Natural Crochet Lace trim was added to a few of the tags as well. 

I'm so happy with the results of my book box, I added it to a table amongst my holiday home décor this year! After the holidays, it will serve as a cherished keepsake for years to come! 

I hope you've enjoyed my project today! I wish you and yours a very happy and merry holiday season! Whatever you do, be blessed!! Until next time, happy crafting--and happy new year, too!! 

Celebrate Card

Hello crafty friends and Happy Wednesday to you all! I do hope you all had a very Blessed Easter! My card today was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using their beautiful ribbons, flowers, and embellishments. This card could also be SPRING, by adding a different sentiment. 

On my card I picked the Taffeta pink ribbon and the Satin Blue Topaz Argyle Print to make my ribbon treatment. Next I picked some large and small flowers to use. I love all the soft colors together, and the sweetheart blossoms and carnations look so pretty together and work perfectly with the design paper here. The bunnies and eggs were fussy cut from the design paper, and popped up using foam squares. Each layer is also popped up by using lots of foam 3-D tabs. The die cuts are all Cheery Lynn, and worked perfectly with the sweet sentiment from ODBD. Love how sweet this card turned out!

Under the Sea Birthday Wishes Card

Hello crafty friends and Happy Thursday to you all! Hope you are having a super awesome week so far, as this week is almost over, well close to the weekend! :)

Today I wanted to share this sweet birthday card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the beautiful white Taffeta Ribbon.  I love airbrushing and this kit here inspired me to do under the sea airbrushing and stamping.

My card was designed using a Lagoon paper collection, and then Lagoon stamps. I airbrushed everything using Copic markers and the air compressor unit. I love how it turned out.

Each stamped image was airbrushed, then fussy cut, and then I added some Stickles to one, Glossy Accents to another, and left the little starfish the way he was just airbrushed. I did add white Gel Dots to each of the 3 pieces.

The bubbles have Glossy Accents

The bow was created using Really Reasonable Ribbon beautiful White Taffeta Ribbon.

All layers were popped using Really Reasonable Ribbons Foam Tabs. I used the thin white and then the Tombow 3-D ones that they carry in the store.

 I really had a lot of fun creating this card and it was a good distraction as my laptop is down and I ended up buying a new all in one desktop the other day. So glad to have a new one, as my laptop was being a pain in the you know what for awhile now.

I hope you enjoyed my post for today, and thank you so much for stopping by!
Hope you have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

Thanks Card

 Hello everyone and Happy Monday to all!
Today I have a super simple card I made for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the beautiful taffeta ribbon , netting and embellishments. On my card I made a big white bow using RRR Taffeta ribbon, and love the way it looks. I tried to keep my card simple which is always hard for me to do...hehehehe

My card consist of two layers from the Delft Collection. I did the bottom layer in leftover design paper, then added some of Really Reasonable Ribbons White Netting in 1.5" before adding the sentiment layer. For my sentiment layer I stamped the Delft Stamps and colored, then used Really Reasonable Ribbons 3-D Foam tabs to pop it up. Next I added the white bow and lastly I added some of the RRR Resin flower embellishments.

Super fast and easy card to make when you need a last minute thank you!

Hope you enjoyed my post for today!
Thank you for looking and have a lovely week.

Dream Hot Air Balloon All Occasion Greeting Card

Well hello there Peeps! I had myself a good ol' time working on this card going totally overboard with the chippies and embellies. Sometimes that little voice inside my head says "more more more".  I have tried to reign that voice in...but not today!

 

I'm using the gorgeous Tropic Colored Taffeta, Bambo Cord,  and Burlap String from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Wishing all of you a happy and productive day with lots of time to be creative : ) G

"Fabulous" Retro Style Birthday Card

Hello, Ribbon Lovers! How is it even possible that this is the last week of March?  It's been a busy month for me, as we had 3 family birthdays to celebrate.  My sweet sis-in-law Becky means the world to me and I wanted to create a really special card for her birthday. I found the perfect ribbon in the Spring Rainbow of Color Ribbon Club Assortment to go with the "Fabulous" collection from Authentique.  Honestly, this Tropic Taffeta bow stole the show!

I super love the way this triple loop bow pops against this retro color palette.  As I've mentioned before, I've developed a serious "ribbon crush" for taffeta.  It simply ties the most gorgeous bows, especially when you use your Zutter Bow-it-All tool!  I love to add these loopy string bows to my ribbon clusters for extra fullness.  This one is made with Ivory Burlap String.

I had a blast finishing the inside of this fun retro style birthday card.  The small side pocket contains a personal birthday message from me to Becky.

The larger pocket holds a hand stamped birthday greeting, a fun retro magnet that Becky can put on her fridge, and a little sweet treat.

Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,
kathy

Sweet Tulips Card

Hello crafty friends and Happy Tuesday to all!  My card for today was created using Really Reasonable Ribbon's beautiful Taffeta , pearls, and Cabachons. Love working with the Taffeta Ribbon, it's absolutely gorgeous and makes beautiful bows! This is what I call a Clean and Simple card. :)

On my card I chose to use the pretty Blue Topaz Taffeta Ribbon and then the Cabachons for the centers of my bows.  I love how they match perfectly with my card here.

Stamping was all done using Club Scrap Delft Collection, and Copic Markers.

The pearls in the corners are RRR 8mm White Flat Backed Pearls.

 It's been a long time since I created my own design paper using stamps, and really love how this one turned out. I wanted to use the same stamp to create my sentiment area as well. But before stamping any sentiment or flowers, I used the mask that came in my Delft Club kit and created a light background for my sentiment. You can see it in the close up above. I used a silver metallic ink pad to do this. Then I stamped my sentiment, and next my flowers. They were colored using 2 blues, and 2 green Copic markers. I had so much fun creating this one!!!

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

Sunshine

Hello everyone, and Happy Saturday to all! Today's card was created using beautiful ribbon and embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon . I am super pleased with the way this one turned out. And LOVE LOVE LOVE this ribbon! Makes for easy bows!

I love the floral pattern paper I chose, it started with a small scrap piece from Crate Paper Line I found in my stash, called "Little Bo Peep".  I LOVED it so much that I had to work this into my card for today. I had enough to do 2 layers, then to my surprise I found 1 more sheet in my stash, so I cut out the circle piece with that.
The ribbon is the beautiful Geranium Pink  Taffeta ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I added a big beautiful Pearl to the center.

Flowers were cut using a Daisy Strip die and coordinating design paper.  They are done using the Glass Flower technique that can be found here under my tutorials.  I added the Resin Flowers to the centers of my die cut flowers. LOVE the look of these, as they are so pretty! There are many colors in an assortment pack, and I find myself using these more and more. They also are beautiful on the corners of the cards for embellishing. I also added some Green Leaves in the 30mm size and some branches for fillers.

The sentiment tag was found in a drawer where I keep a bunch of tags and such, and I thought it went perfect with the color combo here, so I added it :) 

Lastly I did add sewing in a pale pretty yellow thread :)

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

hugs to all,

I had so much fun creating this, and love how it turned out. Hope you enjoy my post for today!

The ribbon I used is the blue topaz taffeta ribbon from December's Ribbon Club Assortment.  It's gorgeous.  I'm not sure if photos do this one justice. It can be found here in the Really Reasonable Ribbon store.. I made 2 big bows from the Taffeta ribbon, and added pearls to the centers.

The window was cut with a cream card stock and then I added some branches to the bottom and different colored Sweetheart Blossoms

Happy Heart Cards

Mid week folks...Cherry here at the RRR blog.  I decided to play around with some of the gorgeous Cherry Blossom flowers that they have to offer.  I created two cards both using the flowers to shape hearts as my main focal point.

 This one is done with yellows using some vintage wall paper that I fell in love with.  Interestingly enough, I found it lining an old drawer of a table I was refinishing and painting.   I used white taffeta ribbon  which paired well with the cherry blossoms.

 I nestled vintage buttons among the flowers for some old fashion appeal. 

 This little guy reminds me of my Dad when he was little....so sweet. 

 Here is my next card all in pinks.  I also nestled Bead berry spray clusters in gold among my flowers with this next card.

 I used both baby pink and rose seam binding on this card and also added Theresa white crochet lace at the bottom of my card. 

Well my friends ....I am done!  I hope you enjoy!  Hugs, Cherry
