Just four days before Christmas. Where has the year gone? As we approach Christmas, and all year long, I want you all to know how very grateful I am for your blog friendships, for your visits to my blog, for your comments, ideas and inspiration; I thank you all. Blogging is a fun part of my life, and I'm truly grateful for anyone and everyone reading this. YOU are a blessing to me!
Today I'm sharing a sweet shabby chic card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon. I just LOVE that I can always count on Really Reasonable Ribbon to have the perfect trims (and SO much more) for every crafty project I tackle. No matter what the theme, the color pattern, the type of project, or most any other variable; I'm always sure to find exactly what I need at Really Reasonable Ribbon. This shabby chic card was no exception. I used some (super old) Simple Stories patterned papers scraps (from their Homemade Holiday line), a Melissa Frances chipboard piece, and LOTS of fabulous goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
I added some rusty jingle bells tied with Red Burlap String and Natural Burlap String. I also ran a length of Natural Crochet Lace up my card and I incorporated it into my bow. I tucked in plenty of Natural Burlap String bows, and added a Bronze Rusty Pear-Shaped Safety Pin from our Embellishments selection. I also added several Wine Red Miniature Double Head Stamens, Fossil Miniature Double Head Stamens and Milk White Miniature Double Head Stamens. And finally, I cut and tucked in even more of the Miniature Double Head Stamens and the pieces from one cluster of a Red Berry Bead Cluster Spray. There are truly SO many lovely touches at Really Reasonable Ribbon to give your projects all the beautiful extras they deserve.
Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at this sweet and simple card. Really Reasonable Ribbon makes it super easy to give your cards and projects those special touches. Why not stop by and do some last minute Christmas shopping for the one person who wasn't on your list.....yourself. These treats will DELIGHT you!
Blessings,
Karen
