It's Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop Time

Welcome to the February Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop.  You should have arrived here by way of Bonnie's Blog; but if not, you get caught up quickly by visiting the RRR Blog.  There are only six stops in total, so it's not a long hop and one lucky person will WIN a $10 gift certificate to Really Reasonable Ribbon.  This month's theme is "Favorite Ribbon Style" and my favorite (or at least one of my favorites) is gingham ribbon and RRR has LOTS of great choices.

I layered basic white and then red cardstocks to create my card base.  Next, I used the Crimped Frames Die from The Greetery to cut my patterned paper.  The die-cut piece of patterned paper was too short to properly fit my card, so.....I used the perfect solution - RIBBON.  I cut a length of Red & White Bold Check Ribbon to cover the gap cut in the paper to make it fit the space.  I also tied a bow with the Red & White Bold Check Ribbon as well as a double length of knotted Solid Mint Baker's Twine.

The sweet (I Love You) sentiment can be found in the Valetine Bundle by Bonnie Garby Designs.  All the sentiments in the collections from Bonnie Garby Designs are beautiful.  I rubbed mint ink right over the image and it still looks amazing.  I topped the bow with a sweet Pale Pink Open Rose and I tucked in a 15mm Green Mulberry Leaf and several Double Head Stamens.  I added half of a white doily and attached everything you see using Scor-Tape Adhesive.

I really do hope that you'll stop by and support Really Reasonable Ribbon and Bonnie Garby Designs.  They're both AMAZING companies owned and run by a truly beautiful friend of mine, the talented Bonnie.  And....you will absolutely LOVE everything you find at both of these lovely stores.  Thanks for stopping by today, ribbon lovers.  Really Reasonable Ribbon is always the perfect place to find the best selection of amazing ribbons, trims, laces, twines, adhesives, mulberry flowers and so much more.  The RRR Blog is always filled with fresh new inspirational projects and creative ideas for using ribbons and other great crafting items.  Your final stop on this Blog Hop is at The Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog where you'll answer a quick question in order to be entered into the drawing for this awesome prize.

Here are the fun challenges where I'll be sharing my sweet Valentine's Day card:

Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge - TTT Challenge #196 - Elizabeth's Pick - My Tic-Tac-Toe for this card can be found across the top row with Heart (lots of hearts), Patterned Paper and a Doily.  I also used Red, a Love Sentiment, and a Die-Cut so I incorporated almost all of the elements on the inspiration board.

Dare 2B Artzy - February Challenge: LOVE - I used lots of great LOVE elements on this sweet little card.

Thanks for hopping along with us, and best of luck in the random draw.  Y'all have a blessed and creative week.  Stop back by any time....I always appreciate it.

Blessings,

Karen
