Decorate your Wedding With Pretty Ribbons!

Hi Everyone!True :D here!

Well...my son and new daughter-in-law's wedding is over. It was beautiful! In part because of all of the pretty Really Reasonable Ribbon I used!Bonnie has so many pretty colors and styles to choose from that it would be impossible to not be able to find what you need for any decor colors!
The ribbons I used in the following projects are:White SatinTeal Satin - currently out of stock...I think I used it all!  ;)Cream SwirlsPlease note that the satin ribbon roses on the flower girl's basket, ring bearer's pillow and the other items are made with white satin ribbon that I colored with Copic markers for the exact color I needed.
I made Kristin a practice/keepsake bouquet since she had a live bouquet for the wedding. I also made Kurt a practice boutonniere. ;)

I wrapped some pretty satin ribbon "french braid" style around a cylindrical vase so she would have a display stand for the bouquet.

It also served as a center piece for the head table at the wedding. I love double duty projects! :)

This is Kurt's practice boutonniere.

Most of the flower girl baskets and ring bearer pillows  I saw in the stores were cheesy and expensive so I made my own!

Here is the before....

Here is the flower girl basket after I worked my magic! ;)

This is my ring bearer pillow. It was super easy to make!

Here is a picture of the unity candle I made. 

I thought it was a nice touch to make a personalized sentiment tag for the front! :)

Here are the guest book and pen. Again decorated with cream swirls and home-made satin ribbon roses.

The reception tables were decorated with my home-made favor boxes featuring Cream Swirls Ribbon.

Maryanne left a comment below that she would like to see a close up of a candy favor. Thanks for asking Maryanne! here you go....

These are the cards I made for the family tables.

This kissing ball was hung in the center of the head table.

I have shared the invitations before but thought I would again since I am posting everything else.

***EDITED***

Here is the video tutorial I promised this morning. Sorry it took me so long...YouTube was causing me issues! ;)

Bow With Brad Tutorial

Hello everyone!
True :D here.

I got a very warm responce to my Inky Antics ~ "Consider Yourself Hugged" card that I posted last week on my blog and many of the comments were about the bow.

I even had a couple of people email me with questions on how I did it.
I thought the best way to explain it is with a quick video tutorial. You will see just how simple it is.
The ribbon I am using in the video is from Really Reasonable Ribbon's beautiful January Ribbon of the Month package.

The Vintage Pearl Brads are from Creative Charms which works out perfectly because the are our co-sponsor for our current Really Reasonable Ribbon's Rambling challenge. The challenge is "Use Hearts and Ribbon" and runs through January 30th. I think we are all adding hearts to our creations this time of year so why not come join us in our challenge, share your creations with others who would love to see it, and be entered for a chance to win one of the prizes?  :)

OK... enough of my rambling!
On with the show!

See...told ya...EASY!

Thanks for dropping by!
Hugs,

True :D  here.

Today, I have prepared a quick little video tutorial to show you an easy way to decorate a plain ruler with designer paper and ribbon. They would make great last minute stocking stuffers for less then a dollar!Of course I always use Really Reasonable Ribbon's gorgeous grosgrain ribbons on the rulers. The color I used in this video is the orange swiss dots.

Sparkle Velvet and Glitz Oh My! :)

Hello!

Today I have made a couple of projects using Really Reasonable Ribbon's beautiful products.

On these clean and simple cards, I just used white cardstock, a piece of Really Reasonable Ribbon's  gorgeous Green Glitz or Purple Glitz ribbons, some flowers and a Light Green Vintage Jewel.

These are some notebooks that I made for Christmas gifts using some beautifully sparkling Black Sparkle Velvet from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Here is a quick video that I have prepared showing one way to be frugal with your ribbon.

Wired Ribbon Rose Tutorial by: True :D

Hello!

True :D here!

Today I am going to show you how to make a quick and easy rose out of wired ribbon.

Don't laugh at the video...it was my first attempt!

I will get better with practice...I hope! LOL!

You can use the rose on any project but I used an empty coffee can.

It can now be used for a gift box or a trinket tin. You could also do a new, full can as a sweet gift. Wouldn't that be a great disguise for instant coffee sitting on someone's desk?

It has a red lid so that kind of dictated my color scheme.

The red glitter paper was purchased at Hobby Lobby and is by Craft n Craftin. It is Wine Red glitter cardstock. The DP is a scrap piece that I can not remember who makes. If you recognize it, please let me know. I wanted to tie the rest of the can in with the rose so I added the same Wired Sheer Iridescent Red/Purple, and Moss Green organzas to the sides. Of course you know that the ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbons!

I ran them through some pearl ribbon slides. I also added a pearl hat pin to the rose so it can be worn as a corsage if the receiver so chooses.

Hope you enjoyed the tutorial.

Thanks and Hugs,
