Put on Your Easter Bonnet

Kathy Clement, Really Reasonable Ribbon, Easel Card, Shaker Card, Easter

Hello, Ribbon Lovers!  Do you remember Easter Bonnets?  I do!  Especially those mean little elastic strings that snapped under your chin to hold the Easter bonnet in place.  Well, today's card features a mighty cute Easter bonnet and a Light Blue Chevron Twill bow that doesn't cause any pain at all!  
Shaker Cards, Easter, Light Blue Chevron Twill Ribbon, Really Reasonable Ribbon, Kathy Clement

Sometimes, wide ribbon can be difficult to work with.  But this 3/4 Chevron Stripe Twill is soft and supple, and it ties a beautiful bow! Really Reasonable Ribbon has it in loads of colors. And if you're not a fan of wide ribbon, it comes in 1/4" width, too. I've paired it up with my favorite Iridescent Metallic String on the cover of this 6x6 shaker easel card. 




 Here's a peek at the inside of this cute card.  I created a pocket that doubles as a stopper for the easel mechanism.  Then I used my envelope punch board to make a cute Easter egg envelope to hold all the goodies I tucked inside. 

Do you have a great Easter Bonnet story?  We'd love to hear about it in the comment section below.

Thanks for stopping by!

Bundle of Joy Page 4

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all. Today's page was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the gorgeous Pink satin ribbons and flowers on my page. I also used the Darling baby girl panda SVG from KaDoodle Bug Designs. I am having a lot of fun designing these pages for my Baby Girl Mini album.

I've been slowly working on this round mini album with a pull out page for the photos. This one here has some fun as I left room for another slide out behind the baby layer. The panda in her crib is on acetate and is a pocket. Love this page and all the flowers and ribbon. Ribbon is Satin and the flowers I used are all Open roses, Rose buds, Sweetheart Blossoms. I also used lots of score tape and foam tabs on this page.

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

Happy Easter Greeting Card

 Hello friends.  I'm sharing another Easter card today that you can easily mail in a regular envelope while still adding a little touch of ribbon.  This one fits the bill and it's embellished with some pretty ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.


I created a 4-3/4" x 6-1/2" top fold card with minimal layers. My digital sentiment from our sister company Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point.  I ran a piece of Shocking Pink Diamond Satin topped with our NEW Metallic Baker's Twine in Lime across the center of the card.  This is a great way to use up all those ribbon and trim 'bits and bobs'.


I finished of the inside of my card with the Easter Bunny Sentiments 'For the Inside' Digital Stamp Bundle.

Our sister company 'Bonnie Garby Designs' is offering a large variety of digital sentiment stamps and svg files.  Below are the three sets I used on my card today.  





If you don't have a color printer, this card looks just as good with the sentiment in black printing.

Hoppy Easter to You

Hello to all our ribbon loving friends and crafty peeps, and thanks so much for stopping by the RRR Blog today as I share a sweet little Easter card that I created using a few Really Reasonable Ribbon products.  As I've mentioned many times, one of my all-time favorite trims is Baker's Twine.  There are well over 20 fabulous colors of Baker's Twine at Really Reasonable Ribbon and it costs just ten cents ($0.10) per yard and adds SO much great texture and style.
I used purple cardstock and then a white cardstock that I pressure embossed using an Antique Linen Embossing Folder from Altenew.  I added yellow, purple and pink oxide inks to the white cardstock before embossing it.  I used the same colors of oxide ink on more of the white cardstock and then cut my bunnies using a cute Frantic Stamper die-cut.
I tied Solid Lemonwood Baker's Twine around one of the bunny's necks, Solid Pink Baker's Twine around another, and Solid Purple Baker's Twine around the other.  I placed a small white cotton ball tail on each of the bunnies.  I used Scor-Tape Adhesive to attach everything securely.  The sentiment was stamped using a stamp set from Paper Sweeties.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions about my project.  You're always sure to find lots of great products and deals at Really Reasonable Ribbon and loads of FAB inspiration on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.  Thanks again for stopping by to say hello.  We always enjoy and appreciate your visits.  Have a blessed and creative week.

Hoppy Easter,
Karen

Some Bunny Loves You Easter Greeting Card

 Hello friends.  I'm sharing an Easter card today that is another card you can easily mail in a regular envelope while still adding a little touch of ribbon.  This one fits the bill and it's embellished with some pretty ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.


I created a 4-3/4" x 6-1/2" top fold card with minimal layers. My digital sentiment from our sister company Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point.  I ran a piece of Regal Purple Diamond Satin topped with Satin Pastel Confetti Dots across the center of the card under the sentiment and added a little ribbon tab coming out the bottom of the sentiment.  This is a great way to use up all those ribbon and trim 'bits and bobs'.


I finished of the inside of my card with the Easter Bunny Sentiments 'For the Inside' Digital Stamp Bundle.

Celebrate Spring

Hello, everyone! It is Gloria back after a little break! I am hoping to celebrate spring on this first day of spring! It has been strangely rainy and cold where I live. I love the rain, as it is so infrequent here, but honestly, we have had more than our fair share! We are close to our yearly rainfall and it is only March 20th! 

In celebration of spring, I chose some soft colors of ribbon and some matching flowers! I used off white cardstock to make a 4.5" x 6" card - which is an odd size, but I like it a bit better than the normal A2 size, and it fits into a 5" x 7" envelope with some padding. Win-win!
The paper is from Graphic 45 Cottage Life Collection, which is a new to me collection. I purchased a pack of 12x12 paper in September after taking a class which used the 8x8 version. It is very pretty!  
I used some lovely ribbons and flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The pink ribbon is 5/8" Light Coral Delicate Stitched Satin. The lavender dots ribbon is 3/8" Lavender Swiss Dots Grosgrain, which is half off right now! 
The flowers match the ribbon perfectly. I used 15mm Lavender Open Roses with some Mixed Purple Rosebuds, plus Pink Miniature Gardenias
The doily is a die cut using the same off white cardstock as the card base. I also cut out the word "celebrate" from the same cardstock using G45 sentiment dies. 

Thank you so much for joining me today!
