Merry Christmas Sleigh

Hello crafty friends and Happy Thursday to you all! Today I have a fun project I designed not only for Really Reasonable Ribbon , but also for my hutch in my kitchen. I love the way it turned out using lots of Really Reasonable Ribbon, some Hot Cocoa, a Gingerbread Spoon, and some of the chocolate marshmallow spoons, and peppermint chocolates.

I used the gorgeous ribbons that are Xmas Traditions 

Really Reasonable Ribbon -

• Xmas Traditions 
• Satin Ribbon swiss dots in red
• Checkerboard satin red 
• Bakers Twine

all items like sleigh, and chocolate spoons, and gingerbread spoons were bought at Hobby Lobby, the hot cocoa I bought at tjmaxx, and the tags are from AC. I added some holly to my sleigh, and then the little white dew drops are from The Robins Nest Creative.

I do hope you enjoyed my post for today, and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! 

Hugs,

Cheryl

 

Halloween Treat Basket Box

 

Hello crafty friends, and Happy Monday to you all! Today's Treat Basket Box post was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the gorgeous satin ribbons from the Reasonable Ribbon shop.

I made 2 of these darling Halloween Treat Basket boxes for my grandkids, and will be doing another one soon. I will have a video on how I constructed my basket box up soon on my YouTube Channel here. So if you would like to see how to make the basket part and see how I Decorated it you can. 

I used Really Reasonable Ribbon on these in Checkerboard satin Ribbon ,
then I used the green Mini Swiss dots for the other basket I also used some Scor-tape, and foam tabs as well. The little Halloween images are from KaDoodle Bug and are SVG files. I did use dies to create may flowers and then straws as well. Super fun project to create.

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

Merry Christmas tag with RRR

Hello crafty friends and Happy Friday to you all! Today's Christmas Candy tag was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon and also for my grandson. I will be adding this tag to one of his presents for Christmas. This is my last Christmas tag for the year. Hope you enjoy!

So for my tag base I just chose a spellbinders die shape that I like best for this darling dragon. I cut out one in red and one in white, and then stamped my sentiment in red ink on the white card stock. Super easy right?! Next I used the RRR Foam tabs to pop the white frame and then added my white paint dots. for the dragon I used an SVG cutting file, and had these put together from last year, so it was easy to just grab one and use. I did use several foam tabs layered on top of each other to pop him higher up so the sucker could slide in behind him. The suckers came from Walmart. Next I picked out 2 ribbons, and used the plaid christmas ribbon red and green in 5/8" and then the Checkerboard Satin in forest green 3/8", I just looped them both and hot glued to the back. I did staple them together first. Lastly I slide the sucker in and then used a foam tab to hold it in place. Love making these fun little tags for Christmas.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you enjoyed my tag for today! May you all have a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

Hugs to all, Cheryl

Christmas Candy Cane Tags

Hello Crafty friends and Happy Thursday to you all! Cheryl here today with some fun Candy Cane Tags that I made for Christmas. I've been having so much fun creating different types of tags and treat holders for the holidays, love making these! Need a quick gift for a neighbor or co-worker, these would be perfect! Also would be fun for the table setting as well.

So to start with I grabbed a few tags from my stash that I had gotten from somewhere and covered them with Christmas design papers. Next I added my Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon to create a bow and tie. I ended up using the Plaid Ribbon Christmas Red and Green in 5/8". Love this beautiful ribbon and makes gorgeous bows. Now I used my craft knife to make some cuts in the tag to hold the candy cane in place. 

SNOWMAN-

Now for the snowman I used punches to create him, and I did cut his hat by hand. I also added some of the same ribbon to create his scarf, and then used the 3/8" Poppy red checkerboard Satin ribbon for his hat. Next I added a snowflake to his hat, as I thought it would be so darling. for his face I used some dew drops, and also for his buttons. The nose was cut by hand and then I added his mouth. Lastly I added some white paint pen marks around the black scallops.  I did add a poinsettia embellishment and a Merry Christmas tag. 

Monkey tag-

I did the same with the tag for this one, and then added my Santa Monkey that I had cut on my cricut and then distressed and put together. Lastly on both tags I added the Merry Christmas sticker that I placed on the red scallop circle using foam tabs.

Plaid Ribbon Christmas Red & Green 5/8"

Manly Card using Really Reasonable Ribbon

 Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all! Cheryl here today with a card designed not only for my Dear Hubby but also for Really Reasonable Ribbon as I used some of the ribbon and Jute that Really Reasonable Ribbon carries. Right now the Jute is on SALE there are 2 different colors left of this one I used in the black, perfect time to pick some up.

So for my card today, I wanted it to match the Quilt I made dear hubby for Fathers Day, so this one I used fabric from the quilt on each layer, and added the sewing to hold it in place. Love how it turned out, and Hubby LOVED it too. All three layers are fabric and card stock in black. I thought the Jute Ribbon was perfect to use on this, as I  really didnt want to add a bow for his manly card....hehehehee even though part of me wanted too....hahahaha.  Anyway, I also was able to add in some of Really Reasonable Ribbon's pretty Red Satin Checkerboard ribbon, and then added a silver button.

On each layer of cardstock I did add some white dots, as I love using the white dots on black card stock. The OLD GUYS RULE is also a fabric piece I fussy cut out of the fabric. I will add a photo of hubby with his quilt on my blog for all to see, so if you would like to see the quilt, it will be posted here. Thank you.

The stamps are from ODBD, and I bought these a few years back I believe, and wanted to use this for my card.

 Hope you enjoyed my card for today, and Thank you for stopping by!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

Home and Family are Best

Hi Really Reasonable Ribbon fans and happy Monday to all of you.  Today i have a fun project that I pulled from my stash of goodies to use and decorate my new craft room.  It's a pretty clear paint can that I can fill with flowers or buttons or anything else I need to get organized.  How fun is that to do!

For my project I purchased the clear paint can and covered it with the paper and added a strip of lace on the top to finish the edge.

 For the top of the can I cut a small circle of the matching paper to fit inside the lid and then I used this doily that I found and inked around the edges just a little bit and added a kraft flower in the center.  The ribbon I created with scarlet shimmer satin and tied on some blue/gold plaid ribbon and just a bit of ivory burlap string to make a really pretty bow.

And I had lots of bits of paper so I also created this little mini cards that measure 3x3 inches and used a few of my favorite Spellbinders dies to fill the centers up with.  Super easy and super fun to make.

The stamp is from Penny Black and the jute string you can find here in lots of other fun colors.

So that is all for today from me and thanks so much for stopping over.  Don't forget to check out

our new challenge for this month and a chance to win some gorgeous ribbons for you too!

Have a wonderful and crafty day,

Teresa

Happy New Year to all of you...

It's hard to believe that this year is winding down to a close but it's always a good time to look ahead for brighter days and all the new things we have to look forward to as crafters.  Today I am sharing a wine tag that I did so that you can make up a few to give out to those special people in your life that you care about and want to celebrate the coming year with.

It's super easy to create with a 12 x 12 piece of paper and some pretty ribbons from the Really Reasonable Ribbon store.  The beautiful bow is made from Red Checkerboard Satin Ribbon.  I used bright colorful papers and just a touch of gold to give it a really festive look.  The stamp I used is from Avery Elle and there are lots of neat things on it to make up for cards and all that for your New years party this year.  I created the squares by cutting 4 of the square Nestabilites by Spellbinders all at once and then glued them in a random pattern.

Happy New Year to all of you !!

Teresa

You are Always Welcome in our Home

Today is my last post for the month and I wanted to finish with a simple card that I did with the August Ribbon Club Assortment for August and some Doodlebug papers and stickers that I had.  

For my card I used lots of rich browns and oranges and mixed in a little bit of ivory to balance it out and make the sticker pop.  The plaid ribbon is in the assortment pack and the neat tangled looking ribbon is called Netting Trim and comes in lots of fun colors. It was really quick and easy and is a great card to have on hand for friends that get a new house or just welcome to mine :)

In case you need to see this fabulous assortment for the month here it is again.

Have a great crafty week and thanks for stopping by.....Teresa

Double Up The Checkerboard

 

Good morning to all the RRR followers and fans.  Jenn here with you today.  I have a fun card with the focal point being the Tangerine Checkerboard Satin Ribbon.  I LOVE this ribbon for several reasons.  For one it is just really pretty.  Another reason, this satin is so easy to tie into bows.  I really like making double bows as you can see from the one on the front of this festive card.  It also makes gorgeous triple loop bows too.  I like to use the Bow It All found in the RRR store.  If you have not seen it in action I have a couple of videos on my YouTube channel that I show how to tie bows using the Bow It All.  

Thanks so much for joining me today!

Little One Layout

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday to all! Cheryl here today to share a layout I did for my son's album that I have been working on. I used the beautiful Really Reasonable Ribbons from this month's Ribbon Club Assortment.

The February Ribbon Club Assortment worked perfect for this layout I did. I love blues and browns together and it's perfect for a little one. All three ribbons and lace came from February's Ribbon Club found at Really Reasonable Ribbon here! 

My son will be 21 in April and I have been trying to get some of his pages done for his album.  This will be another to add to the album for him.  The title of my page came from the design paper I used.  It says Little One under the little hedgehog at the top of the page. I thought it would be perfect for this layout. The little CottageCutz hedgehogs are dies I used to cut out the ones at the bottom of my page. They were colored with Copics and glued on. I also glued on my ribbon, stars, and even the Thicker's to be sure that nothing falls off.

I really enjoyed making this page, and sharing it today. Hope you all have a super wonderful day!

Thank you for looking!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

Paper Picnic by Jenn Cochran

Good morning RRR!!!  Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!  WOW, it sure does go by fast.  We are heading into our second week of school here in Colorado.  But we still cannot help to enjoy summer swimming fun on the weekends.  So hard to give up summer and accept that fall is just around the corner.

In an effort to preserve summer, I am still coloring up summer images.  Today, I am featuring Really Reasonable Ribbon on my picnic themed card.  This summer fun image went perfectly with the RRR's Checkerboard Satin-Daffodil.  It reminds me of a picnic blanket.  If you really like checkerboard, this ribbon comes in a variety of shades!

The satin ribbon easily twists into loops for the perfect bows.  I really like how this bow turned out!  Hope you like it too.  

My Image is from The Paper Nest Dolls.  Her name is Picnic Ellie.  She sure is a sweetie!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  To see more RRR projects from me, visit my blog.

Guest Designer - Charlene Merrick

Hi, my name is Charlene Merrick, and I was tickled pink when Bonnie asked me to be the Guest Designer today for Really Reasonable Ribbon! I have a few projects to show you here, as well as one more on my personal blog, wheremmsgather (yes, I'm an m&m candy addict). I chose to use various ribbons from RRR's pretty Welcome Spring collection from RRR's April Ribbon Club Assortment for my designs. Since I was tickled pink, I chose this beautiful pink checkerboard satin ribbon for my first project.

I used this cute Sweet n Sassy image, from Cocoa's Tasty Treats, coloring it with Copic markers.  The darker card stock is a deep Bazzill Brown, although I know it looks black in my photo.

Not only did I make this card, but I also decorated a gift box to go with it!  I love making/decorating gift boxes to go with cards I give to friends and family.  This pretty designer paper is from Handmade Memories Paper Pack by Hot Off the Press.  Isn't that checkerboard pattern in the ribbon cool?  I love it!

The following close up photo shows how I looped the ribbon on the gift box.  Since I don't own a sewing machine, I held my loops together with Scor-Tape (love that stuff!)  I used the same designer paper and my scallop punch to make the flower to attach on top of the ribbon.

And here's the card and gift box together!

My next card features the pretty lavendar and blue ribbons from the Welcome Spring collection.  Instead of using designer paper, I used these lovely ribbons to ground my pretty tulip, which is from A Year of Flowers by Gina K. Designs.  I adhered the ribbons to the white card stock with Scor-Tape and the color coordinated brads (which I just happened to have in my stash).  I colored the tulip with Copic markers and used an embossed tulip frame on the white card stock.  My base card is Stampin' Up's retired Perfect Plum.

Thank you for viewing my projects.  Hopefully, they've given you some inspiration for using RRR's beautiful ribbons.  AND, don't forget, I have yet another project on my personal blog that I'd love to have you check out!!  Here's a sneak peek of it:

Have a terrific day!

Let Me Share My Treat

Yes today I want to share a bag I made as  a way to give treats to some special people.You know this month our team shared so many great recipes and packaging projects.

Really Reasonable Ribbon had this regal Green  Checkerboard Satin Forest Green ribbon last month in the ribbon of the month assortment. I decided I needed a few more gift packages to use. I started with white paper bags that can be purchased just about anywhere.

I used an EK Success snowflake punch to finish off the edge. I used a Tim Holtz Christmas image and inks just colored with a sponge applicator.

Decided to stamp a music background image and then use a Tim Holtz embossing folder to make a background piece. I used my distressing kit to age all these pieces. My favorite is my Really Reasonable Ribbon Baker's Twine Brown Sugar to accent the pieces. That great background paper is from my local craft store.

I also used the checkerboard ribbon to line the top just under the flap-really helps show off the snowflake pattern.

These are a perfect way to use those extra supplies and make a gift seem so much more special. So glad I could share with you today.
