Checkered Ribbon

Hello, Friends! Kathy here with a little ribbon tip for you today. Have you seen the new 1/2" Checkered Ribbon in the RRR shop? Ooh la la! I'm in love!

I love everything about this gorgeous checkered ribbon: the wide range of colors, the width, the texture and how easy it is to tie gorgeous bows.

This green/ivory pink Checkered ribbon looks fabulous perched in the corner of this Bluebirds of Happiness card.

Here's a peek inside the card.

If you haven't "checked" this ribbon out yet, I can highly recommend it, as I may or may not have bought several yards of it in each color. It's a nice change from ordinary plaid or gingham, and the color blends are really fun.

So that's my ribbon tip for today! Hope you have a joyful and creative day!

Cheerio,

kathy

A Sweet Friendship Decorated Box

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all! Today I'm sharing a decorated laughing cow cheese box using beautiful flowers, ribbons, leaves, and embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I love how this turned out, as it was given to my neighbor for her birthday this past weekend. She loved it!

On the box I started by covering it with paint. Then I used Spellbinder dies to cut out the shapes of cardstock and design papers. I did distress them all with ink. Then I started with the Delicate Stitched Satin Pink ribbon, by making a bow, and hot gluing it to the box. Next I made another bow using the beautiful checkered ribbon, and then started layering the flowers. I did make some flowers using the seam binding.

Also used the canvas color band ribbon for around the box to cover the edges, there are two bands of ribbon, you can see them a tad bit in the photo right below.
