Warm Wishes from Really Reasonable Ribbon

Welcome by my blog today as I share a sweet little homespun Christmas card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I had started this card quite some time ago, but never finished it.  So, with my wounded wing (right hand/arm) limitations, this was helpful. I picked up this unfinished card and added some Really Reasonable Ribbon goodness for the finishing touches it needed.  I originally had the card base, patterned paper and doily set in place but had laid the other items next to the card waiting to complete it.

At the top center, I added a few trims from this month's gorgeous Ribbon Club Assortment including a length of White Crochet Lace, 3/8" Light Pink Organza With Satin Center, and 3/8" Garden Rose Satin With Silver Metallic Edge, as well as some Ivory Burlap String to tie on my rusty jingle bells.

OK.....can we please talk about (my favorite accent) Double Head Stamens?  I know I say it often, but they're SO sweet!   They were recently restocked, and some colors have already sold out (because they're awesome).  This is one item I really think everyone should order.  They're so affordable, and they add such a fabulous touch to your projects.   I highly suggest stocking up now before they're all sold out again.  I tucked in several White Double Head Mini Stamens, Lavender Double Head Mini Stamens and Light Blue Double Head Stamens.  They're the best!

I added a few touches of acrylic paint splatter here and there as well as a touch of glitter, a Prima chipboard coffee mug piece, and a small tag that I stamped with a tiny sentiment (warm wishes), inked, and attached with a rusty pear-shaped safety pin to a cinnamon stick that I embellished with more Stamens and a glittered Pink Open Rose.  There's also a 30mm Pink & White Mulberry Leave and more Ivory Burlap String tucked under the rose. It's a fairly simple card, but the ribbons and stamens from Really Reasonable Ribbon are what make this card so sweet.

By the way, don't forget to stop back by tomorrow for the Really Reasonable Ribbon October Blog Hop where one lucky person will win this month's fabulous Ribbon Club Assortment. 

Blessings,

Karen
