Hello, Ribbon Lovers! I don't know what it is about fall, but it always stirs up thankful thoughts and feelings. Both of these cards are made with Simple Stories "Vintage Blessings" collection. I found the perfect ribbon to go along with the rustic vibe of both cards. Take a look.
See what I mean? I just love these country prints . I created some felt embellies over the weekend, which was loads of fun. But I needed a ribbon that would tie all these different colors together. This
Rust/Ivory Plaid Ribbon hit all the right notes.
On this cute card, I used just a snippet of the ribbon as a finishing touch for the safety pin embellishment in the top left hand corner. This was actually a scrap of ribbon left over from tying a larger bow. I simply trimmed the ends, slipped it through the circle end of the safety pin and tied it in place with a
Natural Burlap String bow.
I was amazed at how this tiny bit of ribbon and burlap string made my embellishment pop. It was such a simple addition, but it made a big difference in the design. I love that about ribbon! Here's a closer look at some of the other details on this sweet card.
Inside, I added a cute little recipe card, tea bag wallet and honey stick to the pocket.
Grateful, Thankful, Blessed Easel Card
I used this lovely Ivory/Rust ribbon again to tie the triple loop bow on this 5" x 7" vertical easel card.
Here's what the card looks like closed.
I love the way the bow cluster draws the eye to the sentiment on my little house.
I managed to fit a small chocolate pocket on the inside of this happy card.
I hope I've shared some ribbony inspiration today that you'll be able to use in your own crafty adventures.
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,

Thank you so much for sharing. :)
As for fav Christmas treats, I dream all year for a taste of my home made gluten free Fruitcake. I know its not always the most popular treat but I add lots of spices and toasted pecans and glace cherries. Nothing says Christmas more to me than a hot cup of tea and a slice of the cake while curled up in the arm chair listening to the carols by the lights of the tree. Snowflakes floating by the windows just makes everything perfect. <3 p="">
