Hurray! It's that exciting time of the month again for the FUN Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop and we're SO glad you've chosen to hop along with us. This is very quick blog hop with just six (6) stops in total. AND....one lucky participant who leaves a comment at each stop will WIN this month's beautiful Christmas Ribbon Club Assortment. Just look at these beautiful trims.
This month, I decided to make a card instead of a hair bow (as I normally always do). This card is styled much like those of one by my talented teammates, Gloria. When I saw her card showcasing the ribbons in the Ribbon Club Assortment so beautifully, I knew that I wanted to use her layout idea. I just love how easy it makes card-making and it shows off the gorgeous trims in the Ribbon Club Assortment.
I used a piece of basic black cardstock and I pressure embossed it using a lattice embossing folder. Then, I cut strips of the different ribbons from the Ribbon Club Assortment and laid them across my card. I ran a strip of Scor-Tape down the left-hand and right-hand back sides of the card so that the strips of ribbon would stay securely in place. That fun ribbon background came together quickly and easily creating a gorgeous design.
Next, I used more of the Red Bold Check Plaid Ribbon to tie a double bow. I also added some bundled Olive Burlap String and some Double Head Stamens as well as a Mulberry Leaf. I also added a die-cut felt holly and ivy that I topped with Red, Green and Ivory Open Roses. The sentiment is from a Stamp Simply Clear Stamps set called Farmhouse Christmas. I really wanted the star of this card to be the Ribbon Club Assortment. These trims are SO pretty.
Your next and final stop on this Blog Hop is back at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog where you'll need to comment by answering the final question. This, along with your comments along the way, will enter you to WIN this month's Ribbon Club Assortment. How cool is that? Really Reasonable Ribbon is amazing, and we hope you'll think of RRR next time you need ribbons of ANY kind. They're sure to have what you need....plus a whole lot more. Happy crafting.

Love how you've lined up all these ribbons to create the background...I'm definitely going to give this a try. I think I would find a way to include those little red jingle bells into that lovely cluster...or maybe a small cluster to the upper right. Beautiful card!
