Do Small Things with Great Love Fall Card by Cherry Nelson

Hello RRR peeps, Cherry here today on the RRR blog. Have you been getting some crafty time in with everything going on?  I hope so!  It has been so hot lately, over 100 today and it has me thinking of cooler September days.  

I love this color combination. 

I created this card using the August Monthly Ribbon Club assortment, which I kinda have almost completely used up.  I love it so!  I also used flowers from the store along with some twine for a rustic touch.  I hope you are all staying healthy and safe! 

Xo, Xo, Cherry

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

Joy Card

Christmas cards don't always have to be in the traditional reds and greens.  Why not try adding a non-traditional color such as the purple?  It's easy with the new Really Reasonable Ribbon Monthly Assortment - Country Holiday Collection.

I used the gorgeous purple ribbon, layering two bows.  Then I tucked the Silky Ivory Crush Ribbon to the under the pine cone image to add additional layers and softness.

I hope you enjoyed a fun and easy holiday card.

Happy Birthday Card and Purse

Happy Wednesday Everyone... today is my first official

post here on the RRR blog and I wanted to stay with 

the bright spring theme so I am sharing a fun birthday card

 that I created to go with a clear purse I made to match.

For my projects I used lots of flowers from the 

WOC Cosmos Flowers in Purples and mixed them

with some of my favorite seam binding in ivory to
decorate the top of the purse and the front of the card too.

The flowers and ribbon are the perfect touch for my card don't
you think? The stamp is from Whipper Snapper Designs

and I used chalk and colored pencils to color them and
just a little bit of Copic Marker to shade in.

The clear purse is from Clearbags and I love

to make these up for gift cards and filled with

lots of goodies to give to special friends. You only
need to add strips of paper on the front and I used
a couple of my favorite SB dies to make the fold-over
tops under all the pretty ribbons and flowers.

That's all for today and I hope you got inspired
to make something fun for maybe Mother's Day
this Sunday or someone else special in your life!!

Don't forget to leave a comment too :)

A Quick Card

   

Hi friends!  I have a card to share with you today that uses ingredients from Really Reasonable Ribbon and my Scraps of Darkness February "Simple Pleasures" kit. There were some lovely Kaisercraft patterned papers included in the kit, as well as some delicate embellishments that I used to decorate this card project.

 

  I love how easily the seam binding from the shop takes to wrinkling - wish I could have it in every single color available lol!  I wrapped my card with it and for some additional punch, I also wrapped with the Metallic String Gold - my absolute fave fiber from the shop right now!  

  I did a bit of background stamping, slapped on a sticker sentiment, blinged it up, and completed a card lickety split that shall go in the mail today.     Thanks so much for visiting with me here today!  For tons more inspiration, come on over to my blog! -Vivian   SUPPLIES:

Clean and Modern?

  Hello, friends!  Vivian here to share with you a rather clean and modern project - these adjectives haven't really applied to the papercrafting that I've been doing lately.  But it's important to work those crafty muscles every now and then with movements that don't come naturally, don't you think?     For this card, I used several papers and embellishments that came in my January Scraps of Darkness kit.  

   With its clean lines and bold patterns, this Pink Paislee collection definitely asks to be used in a modern way.  I decided to use some of the fun ephemera included in the kit to create a congratulatory Sizzix Pop 'N Cut card that would be appropriate to give to a man or a woman.  

  Using Solid Gray Baker's Twine from the Really Reasonable Ribbon shop, I simply wrapped the interior piece and knotted on a cute tag from the kit.  I also used the same twine to create some funky stamens for my flower.  

Here's a view of the easy dimension you can achieve using these Pop 'N Cuts dies.

Thanks for visiting with me here today.  See you again really soon!   -Vivian
