Are you ready for Halloween?

Hi all... Linda here today and I am so excited for Halloween with giving away sweets for my kids' friends and  also other family members. Today, I would like to share a cute Halloween card that I plan to mail for my friend overseas. I just love the vintage feel and also color combo with multiple layers of ribbon to brighten the Halloween project.

These are the following ribbons that I used to create this card;

1.5" Orange Gingham

Monthly Ribbon Club

I created a knot on the center part of the card and topped with naked chipboard, covered with glitters and orange button. 

Other materials:

Tim Holtz Cutting Die

Sassasfras Lass cardstock sticker

American Craft cardstock

Digital Fall Vintage Image

I hope you enjoy reading today's blog post, have a wonderful day!

Toilet Paper Roll Mini Album

Hi all! It's Emily here today with another fun mini album to share! 

I made this mini album out of recycled toilet paper rolls. These are one of my favorite types of mini albums to make. I used lots of pretty ribbons on this album, to me, they are what makes the project. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

RRR Products Used: 

Burlap Woven Ribbon Olive

Burlap Woven Ribbon Natural

Floral Garden Layout

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with a layout using beautiful ribbons, lace, and netting all from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

On my layout I used Black Satin for the Black Bows, and Black centers for the flowers. Next I used Black Netting and then Penelope Natural Lace next to the netting. I also ran more of the Black netting along the bottom of the photo mat and then used Sheer Box Pleats Ivory for that.

For the BIG Pink bows I used the Chevron Striped Pink Twill to make those. I LOVE this ribbon, and it's new to me and it makes beautiful bows.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Used:

Chevron Striped Pink Twill 1 1/2 "

Black Netting

Penelope Lace

Sheer Box Pleats Ivory

Black Satin Ribbon

My design paper, flowers and the circle chipboard are all from FabScraps. I painted the circle chipboard with Tim Holtz Crackle paint, then distressed it. The flowers came from a book from Fabscraps as well and I punched them all out, super easy to do, and then inked up the edges with black ink. 

The flowers were put together using Helmars Scrapdots.  It gives a 3-D effect for them.

I left some room for a title, and will add a photo later. I was trying to find one of my dear Grandma to put on here, but will have to scan and then print it. 

Thank you for looking and hope you have a super wonderful day!!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

A Simple Statement

Hi! Today I wanted to share a little mini-album that I did. This is a quick little book with minimal embellishments and 3.5x5 photos. I know there are a lot of really unique and fancy ribbon techniques but sometimes you just need a plain bow!!! They can make a statement of their own! I have so many beautiful ribbons from RRR that I wanted to showcase a few of them! I used colors that matched the paper which is the "Paradise Beach" collection from Echo Park. I used a simple stripe twill on the front and a couple of little ties on the book rings. I added little pearl and gemstone accents for the "bubbles".

Here I used the orange chevron twill and tied a neat bow. I used the same color ink to journal. I used my Zig marker for the journaling.

On this page I used the yellow star ribbon and a little of the hemp cord to tie the buttons.

For this page I used 3 ribbons the varied stripe the green star and the turquoise. It matched Addy's cute little dress perfectly!!!

Here on this page I used the same 3 ribbons. And another bow!!!

On this last page I just used a pretty turquoise ribbon, tied in a bow!!! This was really a quick little book to put together! And it shows off these cute little beach pics of Addy!!!

Sometimes you don't need fancy, sometimes simple makes a statement all it's own!!! Thanks for stopping by! Please check back for more inspiration from our talented design team!!!
Here are the ribbons that I used: 3/8" daffodil floral satin island splash striped grosgrain chevron striped twill orange 10 lb. hemp cord natural stars on apple green grosgrain shimmer satin turquoise funky vert stripe teal/lime sheer organza w/satin center turquoise
