Happiness Blooms Here

Hello, Friends!  Spring is in full bloom here in North Carolina, and the flower gardens are starting to show off with beautiful floral displays.  This inspired me to create  a flirty, feminine card featuring Really Reasonable Ribbon Mulberry Flowers, 3/8" Coral rose Mini-Check Ribbon, and Iridescent Metallic String. 

I've clustered sweet Cherry Blossoms, Trellis Roses, and White Chrysanthemums around my focal image.  Then I added a sweet bow cluster tied with the Coral Rose Mini Check and Iridescent Metallic String.  The mini-check ribbon is also tied through the tops of some tags in a background layer.  Burlap string, a little floral charm and a soft pink Sweetheart Blossom help draw the eye. 

 Here's a little peek at the goodies I tucked inside the card.  It's always fun to turn a card into a gift!

Hope you all have a wonderful, restful weekend!

Life in Full Bloom with Lilac Seam Binding Ribbon

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Garden season is almost here, and this sweet image of terra cotta pots is an ode to garden lovers everywhere.  Lavender Seam Binding Ribbon and White Chrysanthemums were the perfect companions for this springtime card. 

I love to use ribbon inside my card folios, too.  It's fun looking for ways to incorporate it into the card design.   It really dresses up the little tag that I tucked into the pocket. Topping it off with a lavender Sweetheart Blossom made it extra special. 

 On this card, I turned the seam binding ribbon into a gift by wrapping it around a button card.  Then I added a length of my favorite Buttercup Double Faced Satin to the button card to make it really shine. There are so many different shades of yellow out there, but this Buttercup yellow is soft and rich.  I use it on a lot of my springtime and baby projects because it's "just right." 

I'm wishing each one of you a blessed and joyful Easter weekend with your friends and or families.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

Cake Celebration Slimline Card

 

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  The best part about birthdays is the cake!  Especially when you dress the cake up with pretty Island Blue Diamond Satin Ribbon, White Chrysanthemums, Cosmos Daisies and Pink Cottage Roses from Really Reasonable Ribbon!  

I was introduced to Island Blue Diamond Satin Ribbon in the June 2022 Ribbon Club Assortment.  This bold, cheerful ribbon was the perfect shade of blue to add a pop of color to this slimline birthday card. I like to use 1/2" Scor-Tape to secure my ribbon to the card base because it really holds everything fast.  It also makes a beautiful border along the bottom edge of the card front.  A touch of Iridescent Metallic String adds just the right amount of shimmer and shine to this bodacious bow cluster!

Here's a quick peek at the inside of this cheery card.  There's a pocket inside the little card insert so you can easily add a gift card here.

I hope you all have a joyful and creative day!
