Sweet Autumn Treats

Don't you just love Autumn?  I sure do!  I love the changing colors of the leaves, making spiced cider, and making all kinds of fun little treats for all my nieces and nephews.  So for today's Really Reasonable Ribbon post, I decided to make some cute little treats.  I used a set of six plastic tubes with metal caps that I picked up at Hobby Lobby, and I filled them with some different colors of Skittles candies.  Then came the really fun part....using lots of fabulous products from Really Reasonable Ribbon to decorate and embellish these cute little treat tubes.

For the tubes that are filled with purple Skittles, I decorated each of those with small bows tied with Black Seam Binding, Lilac Seam Binding, and Parrot Green Solid Baker's Twine.  For the tubes that are filled with mixed (black, green and orange) Skittles, I decorated those tubes with small bows tied with Black Seam Binding, Orange Seam Binding, Parrot Green Solid Baker's Twine, and Plum Baker's Twine.  Each tube (bow) was topped with a Jolee's spider.

It's fun and easy to make sweet little treats for all the "little goblins" in your life.  They enjoy the fun little treats, and you'll have fun making them.  Really Reasonable Ribbon makes it so easy to find all the ribbons, trims and supplies you need to create something wonderful.

With SO many products available in the Really Reasonable Ribbon Shop, you're sure to find the perfect colors and styles to match your next project.....and beyond.  Oh, and don't forget about the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop starting tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by today, and please visit again soon.  And for all things ribbon, trim, twine, lace, and more....think Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Happy Halloween Gift Card Holders

Hello, Friends!  Have you started your Halloween crafting yet?  When I got my September Ribbon Club Assortment in the mail, it put me into high gear for Halloween creations.  Those ribbons are spook-tacular!  Today I've used them to dress up these cutie pie Halloween Gift Card Holders.

These are super quick and easy to make, yet they look fabulously festive thanks to the wonderful ribbons.

This Boo-tiful card is dressed up with the 3/8"  Halloween Confetti Dot Grosgrain Ribbon and some of my favorite Natural Burlap String.

A little 3/8" Black Checkerboard Satin ribbon adds a touch of class to the gift card holder inside the card.

 This fab-BOO-luss card is adorned with Tangerine Checkerboard Satin Ribbon.  I love the soft shimmer it adds to the card design.

And I love the fun factor that the Halloween Confetti Dot Ribbon adds to the gift card holder inside this card.

Tangerine Satin Swirl Ribbon is postively "bewitching" when paired with Black Checkerboard Satin Ribbon, don't you think?

And this black cat is lucky to be paired up with 3/8" Black Checkerboard Satin Ribbon.

This too cute to spook witch is color coordinated with the Tangerine Satin Swirl bow on this card.

And I'm loving this 3/8" Spiderweb Satin Ribbon with these papers.

If you'd like to make these cute cards, I prepared a little Snapguide tutorial for you!  Happy Halloween!

Oh, Baby! Altered Shadowbox

Hello friends! I hope you're enjoying these final days of summer! Linsey here today sharing my latest altered project, a shadowbox sure to melt the heats of anyone who loves babies...and who doesn't, right?! A new baby is a true treasure and joy and creating a handmade keepsake is a very special way to celebrate such a precious occasion. Come along and see how I transformed this ordinary wood shadowbox into a one-of-a-kind keepsake with all the trimmings!😊

First, the outside of the box was covered with 12x12 patterned paper. Next, all of the edges were covered with So Sweet Washi Tape, which is a nice alternative to painting. Each of the inner boxes were covered using smaller, 6x8 pattered papers. The smaller designs are perfectly proportionate to individual boxes. Delicate 3/8" Sally White Crochet Lace was added around the entire inside of the frame for a touch of softness. Finally, the fun part--decorating each of the tiny boxes with an array of darling detail using WOC Gypsophila Deep Ivory, Bead Berry Sprays, Miniature Sweetheart Blossoms Mixed Pink, Burlap String Ivory, buttons, stickers, chipboard and die cuts.

Since my niece is expecting a baby girl this December, this will be for her. A name has yet to be chosen, so I kept it basic, but how cute would it be to personalize it with the name, date and details of birth using letter/number stickers too? I had the most delightful time decorating all of the tiny inner boxes! I finished by adding a sweet little tag tied with a 3/4" Pink Chevron Striped Twill bow.

And that's a wrap! I hope you enjoyed seeing my altered shadowbox and if you are so blessed to be expecting a precious new little one in your life or family, congratulations!Thanks so much for visiting today and until next time, happy crafting!

Autumn...

Hi crafty friends.  Bonnie here today with a fun autumn themed card to share that features some pretty ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

My card today features two of the ribbons from the August Ribbon Club Assortment.  If you aren't already a member, no worries - you can still get this great assortment!  

This month we have a great deal for US residents.

The August Ribbon Club Assortment is a collection of rich autumn colors and prints.  It contains 9 styles and a total of 17 yards of ribbon and crochet lace.  The September Ribbon Club Assortment is a Halloween themed assortment with 9 styles and a total of 18 yards of ribbon.  Each monthly assortment is a color or holiday themed collection of ribbon.  What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try new ribbon styles.

I kept this card relatively flat for mailing.  You could even eliminate the Thin 3D Foam Tabs under the leaves to make it even flatter.

This is also a perfect way to use up those precious ribbon scraps that you don't want to part with.  I just dove tailed the end of two 5-1/2" pieces of each color of ribbon and even spaced them over the background Distress Ink paper I created.  I then added the leaf squares on top of the ribbon.

I get lots of questions about the 'fuzzy layer' that I use on a lot of my cards.

That layer is Mulberry paper and you can view a video on how I use it and where I get it HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  For more information on other items used on my card, please visit my Make Time to Craft blog.  Happy crafting!

Deer Winter Card

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all! Today's winter themed card was designed using Really Reasonable Ribbons beautiful Shimmer Red Satin Ribbon. I tried to keep my card kind of simple, so very limited embellishments and layers. Normally I love embellishing and using tons of layers as most of you know, but sometimes its nice to change it up a bit. Today's post will be short and sweet...hehehe

For my card I kept this one on the smaller side, it measures 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"  and the second layer with the scenery measures 3" x 3". I stamped them using Justrite Papercrafts stamps, and the deer as well. I did add some glitter, to give a little added glitz. I believe the design paper is DCWV.

For my layering I used Really Reasonable Ribbon's adhesive foam squares, and Scotch ATG refill tape. Lastly I did add some white gel dots, and sewing to my card.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies:
Shimmer Satin Ribbon
Foam Squares
Scotch ATG refill Tape


I love how fast and easy my card came together. Hope you enjoy my post for today! Thank you so much for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

Vintage Halloween Card

 Hello there friends and crafty peeps! It's my favorite time of the month as I get to share the first project I created with the new Ribbon Club Assortment.

This Halloween assortment is so perfect for all the spooktacular projects I have planned.

I'm also working on a new series for my YouTube channel of Revisiting and Remaking some of my favorite designs from the past with new papers and trims and fabby new embellishments.

I printed a tag from my shop then picked patterns that coordinated.

To compete with the busy background paper I used the ribbons to create a double layer bow then topped it off with twine and a vintage button.

Handcrafted flowers are so fun to make and you can match them with your project. I've tucked in an altered chippie key plate and fussy cut Halloween themed butterfly.

Another small arrangement for the top to balance the larger one.

Last but not least a die cut flourish frame cut in black cardstock then coated with Midnight Stickles creates a nice detail.
Please enjoy this video I've prepared....
