Welcome by my blog today, friends. I'm sharing a cute little cross-stitch card that I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using some of their fabulous products. I absolutely love all the wonderful trims and twines they carry - among so many other amazing things. This card was fun to make, and I'm always super grateful to know that Really Reasonable Ribbon will always have the Adhesives, Embellishments and trims to help me create wonderful things.
I used cream cardstock and some sweet Crate Paper patterned papers from my stash. I machine stitched them together. The tag I used to do my cross-stitching is actually a piece of packaging from a super old October Afternoon ephemera. It's sort of a cardboard piece. I cut that with a cross-stitch tag die, and I used a free cross-stitch pattern that I found on Pinterest. Once that was done, I attached a length of Striped Grey Grosgrain Ribbon and a length of Medium Pink Plaid Gingham Ribbon into the loop of my card.
I added a piece of Oyster Grey Baker's Twine, Solid Light Pink and Solid Hot Pink Baker's Twine to the top of my tag. On the back of the tag, I secured everything with Scor-Tape to hold it securely in place. I absolutely LOVE this fabulous Adhesive. On top of the ribbons, I added two pretty Mulberry Leaves and a Pink Trellis Rose. A few sequins were the finishing touch.
