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

Rolodex Decorated Pages with Photos

Hello everyone, and Happy Friday to all you all! Today I'm sharing a super fun project that I made for Really Reasonable Ribbon using beautiful ribbons, flowers, and embellishments to decorate this Rolodex.

I bought this Rolodex to add photos and information in, so these two pages have a photo and a little Journaling. They are so fun to decorate and add design paper.  I figured I would do different colors and such to each double page. On this one I used one of my favorite design papers from Heidi Swapp.  They were scrap pieces I had left over.  I added the black delicate stitched satin ribbon, and then the yellow canvas color band ribbon, and aster daisy, sweetheart blossom, and rose buds for decorations on this. I also added the bronze and green leaves to this.

The bottom page has a border die cut I used from Makers Movement and I ran the ribbon through the openings on it. Love the look. I kept the top simple, as I wanted to see the design of the flowers on the paper.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies Used:
Pink Rose buds
Aster Daisy
Sweetheart Blossoms
Green Leaves
Bronze Leaves
Black Satin Delicate Stitched Ribbon
Swiss Dots Black
Tape Runner
Yellow Canvas Color Band Ribbon

Thank you so much for stopping by, and for all your wonderful sweet comments on my projects!

Hugs to all,

You are my Sunshine Greeting Card

Hello there friends and crafty peeps! Ginny here with a very spring inspired greeting card. Not that we're getting much spring weather here in mid Michigan. Seems like we skipped the warm and went right back into fall.

 Pink and green? Heck yeah! This card could not be more bright and cheerful.

Stripes might be my new plaid. I seem to be drawn to a lot these days.

 This is a pretty paper collection....but I decided to mix in a few of my stash papers. Not only does this help me work through some of the "backstock" but it also helps me to get a very uniquely me look. That paper in the background is actually Christmas paper lol.

These Wild Orchid Crafts flowers are beautiful and coordinate so perfectly!

Last but not least the Celery Chevron Ribbon.  I am loving this happy combination.

~Really Reasonable Ribbon~ Celery Chevron Striped Twill, Chrysanthemums, Rosebuds, Cottage Roses.

Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

M for Mother Vintage Card by Cherry Nelson

Cherry here!  My day at the RRR blog.  I have a vintage style Mother's Day card to share today.

 I used both Bay Leaf Seam Binding and Bead Berry Spray Clusters in gold.

 I did some heat embossing to bring out the sentiments more.

I also heat embossed this heart chipboard charm frame and added a vintage gold charm to the center.

Hope you find yourself inspired today! Cherry

Wait Patiently Upon the Lord

Hello and welcome by!  It's Karen Letchworth here today  sharing a sweet little card today that I created using some lovely products from Really Reasonable Ribbon; and as always, I was able to find the perfect Ribbons and Embellishments to match my patterned papers.  Really Reasonable Ribbon carries SO much more than ribbons.  You'd be surprised (if you're not already familiar) to see all the amazing products in their shop - Adhesives, Embellishments, Mulberry Flowers, Hair Accessories, Twines, Laces and all there is at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Here's what I came up with to share with you today.

I used some patterned papers that are from the Pretty Party line by Crate Paper (an old favorite of mine).  I attached the patterned papers with strips of Score-Tape and die-cut a background to lay over that.  I stamped my sentiment onto a coordinating paper tag and inked all the edges with Tim Holtz Spun Sugar Distress Ink.  And then.....the fun part!

I bundled a generous length of Ivory Burlap String and topped that with a Two-Tone Red & White Open Rose, and accented around that with orange and teal flowers from the Open Roses Pastel Assortment.  One (of the many) things I love about the Open Roses and other Mulberry Flowers is that they come in various sizes to accommodate each and every project.  This particular card uses the 10mm Open Roses.  Be sure to stop by the RRR Blog often to see all the wonderful inspiration from my talented teammates.  There's always something wonderful at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Blessings,

Karen

Blooming Beautiful Springtime Altered Art

Hello, Friends!  Kathy here with a bit of springtime altered art to inspire your creativity.  I love little decorative boxes.  So I created this lovely little Eileen Hull Treasure box, then decorated it with lots of blooming springtime flowers and elegant  1/2" Champagne Wrinkled Ribbon.

A little box like this one looks so pretty set out on a coffee table or nightstand.  To add the perfect shabby chic touch,why not run a bit of Crochet Lace around the bottom edge?  It's easy to keep in place when you use 1/8" Scor-Tape to attach it. 

Here's a look at the beautiful bow cluster.  One of the things I love the most about the Champagne Wrinkled Ribbon is the neutral tone.  Here, it fits in perfectly with all the soft pastel flowers.  It's become one of my all time favorite choices for shabby chic projects.

The only thing I like better than a sweet little box is a sweet little box with something pretty inside.  So I created a tiny Eileen Hull Notebook to slip inside the box.

 I've used the same ribbon to create a wrapped closure for this darling little album.

I love the way it looks wrapped around the album spine, too.

I've used it inside the album to decorate a simple page.....

... and to top a little art tag.  

If you haven't added this gorgeous ribbon to your stash yet, I can highly recommend it.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy
