Halloween Scene Card

Hey there friends and crafty peeps! Ginny here to share a fun layered Halloween greeting card.

I created this card with a spooky Halloween scene using die cuts.

Including fun textures and finishes like glitter and holographic paper helps to add detail to what might be a simpler card.

Gorgeous taffeta ribbon coordinates perfectly with the vintagy style of this card.

Don't forget to include inks and Stickles to add depth for flatter embellishments.

Please enjoy this video tutorial...

*NEW* October Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon

The October assortment contains 9 styles and a total of 18 yards of ribbon.  Each monthly assortment is a color or holiday themed mix.  What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try new ribbon styles.

I went full on Christmas with this card and it was fun.  I love making handmade flowers too, so the poinsettias were made with distress ink paper I made and the centers are Milk White Mini Stamens.

I just love a traditional red and green color palette.  It's just so festive.

My bottom layer is a white mulberry paper which I think adds such a wonderful unique touch to my cards.

My card is topped off with a pretty bi-color double-loop bow created on my Bow-it-All Tool using two of the ribbons from the October Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I topped off the center of my bow with a pretty Star Shaped Pearl embellishment.

Spooktacular Ribbon Topped Treat Tags

Hello, Friends!  Halloween is coming!  And these spooktacular ribbon topped treat tags are perfect for all the grown up ghouls and ghosts on your list!

I've topped each tag with a wonderful cluster of Halloween Ribbons from the September Ribbon Club.

I've also wrapped ribbon around the pocket base on each tag.  Doing this really gives the tag a finished, professional feel.

The pocket holds treats that any grown up trick or treater would enjoy.  I've wrapped individual packs of cookies with designer paper, added ribbon and a rosette to a vintage silver spoon, tucked in a tea bag, candy corn, chocolate treat and honey stick to complete the gift ensemble. 

The ribbon cluster takes these tags from fabulous to frightfully fabulous!  And it is so easy to do!  Just thread lengths of the September Ribbon Club ribbons through the top of the tag.  Tie them off with a length of the Grape Diamond Ribbon Satin to secure.  Top with a boo-tiful bow for the perfect finishing touch.

I upcycled some clothing tags by painting them with black chalk paint.  The jute string on the tag is also tied into the ribbon cluster.  Then I added a mini Halloween card on the front of the tag.

This is where you can add your ghostly greetings.

Here's a look at the second tag:

I'm telling you, friends...ribbon is magic!  I hope I've shared some tips and ideas that you can use in your own crafty adventures!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween Gift Carton

Hello everyone and Happy Friday to you all! Today I have a sweet little Halloween Gift Carton I decorated with Really Reasonable Ribbon and some sweet little dies. This project is super easy and comes together quickly.

I love making different little gifts, and this one sure is sweet! I chose the Gift Carton from Makers Movement and then decorated with Really Reasonable Ribbon from the September Ribbon Club Assortment. I added the striped grosgrain ribbon along the bottom of the gift carton, then the cute little candy print in orange to embellish the top of the carton.

The Halloween dies are CottageCutz and are super cute addition to this gift carton. Perfect little treat to give at Halloween to your friends or family with some yummy treats inside.

I tied the top closed with some black burlap string and then tied on the bow.  The bat is hot glued on, and the little Halloween tag is also tied on. I think I need to make 12 of these for my club as they would be super cute to give to the ladies in October.

Really Reasonable Ribbon Supplies used:
September Ribbon club
black burlap string
scotch advance tape refill
foam squares
foam tabs

Hope you enjoyed my post for today! Thank you for stopping by.

Trust In The Lord

Hello, and welcome by again.  Thanks for stopping by today as I share a card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I will never grow tired of working with all the fabulous products found at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Of course, they have ribbons and trims....but they also have SO much more.  This card will give you an idea of what I'm talking about.  I used some fun Echo Park patterned papers from an awesome line called I Love Family that I picked up at Tuesday Morning (great bargains).  As I often like to do, I created my card using primarily paper scraps.  I used several leftover strips of these patterned papers, I inked the edges, and attached them using pieces of a fabulous Adhesive called Scor-Tape.  I stamped the sentiment using Words of Encouragement Stamp Set from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.  I absolutely LOVE what the sweet Really Reasonable Ribbon products do for all my cards and projects.

I bundled some Natural Burlap String, Peach Burlap String and Olive Burlap String; and I also added some Turquoise Double Head Stamens, Yellow Double Head Stamens, Red Miniature Double Head Stamens.  I topped all that with a 30mm White Mulberry Leaf, a couple Autumn Gold Open Roses, and a couple Two-Tone Light Turquoise Open Roses.  There are SO MANY gorgeous products to choose from at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

At the top right of my card (up near the stamped sentiment), I added a small snippet of Brown Center-Stitch Canvas Ribbon and a miniature rusty paperclip.  There are SO many fabulous trims, Adhesives, Embellishments, Flowers, and much more at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I hope you've been inspired, and that you'll take time to do some shopping today to treat yourself.  You won't be disappointed!

Blessings,

Karen

Thankful For You Greeting Card

Hello there friends and crafty peeps! Ginny here to share a very Fall inspired greeting card created with my fav trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

 Isn't that Ivory/Brown/Copper Plaid just perfectly warm and rich? I love it paired with the Antique Gold Burlap String.

That bow creates the anchor for this coordinating flower arrangement. I've also tucked in some leaves die cut from glitter paper to add a little sparkle.

Fall inspired charms, vintage buttons, and a metal clip are the perfect finishing touch to this seasonal card.

Pretty Kanzashi Hair Clip

Hello there ribbon lovers.  Bonnie here again today and I'm sharing another fun Kanzashi creation using ribbon and accessories from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

This would be great as a hair accessory for an adult by adding a French Clip or other clip of your choice.  It would also make a nice pin for a jacket or bag by adding a Pin Back.

I added a pretty gingham Covered Button from Really Reasonable Ribbon to the center of the flower to finish it off.

This Kanzashi Creation was made with all 1-1/2" Solid Grosgrain Ribbons and 1-1/2" Gingham Ribbon using the petal variations in the videos below.  While it looks very large in the photo, it only measures a little more than 3" at the widest point.  It's the perfect size for an understated hair clip.
