Wishing You Peace w/Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello, crafty friends!  Thanks for stopping by today to visit and to take a quick peek at this FUN card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using just a few of their (many) awesome products.  Adding ribbons and trims to my cards is always fun because it gives our cards texture, dimension, color and personality.  Like all of the amazing products at Really Reasonable Ribbon, these few quick goodies made my very simple card special.

This beautiful sentiment is from Bonnie Garby Designs.  You will always find the most amazing sentiments at Bonnie Garby Designs because she creates her sentiments with real people, like you and me, in mind.  Knowing that we all go through difficult times, she created this special Christmas set called Christmas Greetings for Difficult Times Digital Stamp Set to wish others a Merry Christmas while also encouraging them if they've had a difficult year.  I know exactly to whom I'll be sending this special Christmas card.

I used a cranberry cardstock layered with Crate Paper Bundled Up patterned papers, and I cut them using the Crimped Frame Dies from The Greetery.  The top layer is basic white cardstock that I stencilled using the Delightfully Delicate Stencil from Creative Worship Stamps.  Next came the FUN part, which is adorning my card with some lovely trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I used Light Pink & White Gingham Ribbon, a length of Solid Pink Baker's Twine and I tucked in several pretty Double Head Stamens.

Double Head Stamens come in so many great colors and styles, and they add such a cool texture to cards.  I topped the chipboard piece and the bow with some lovely 12mm White Flatback Faux Pearls from the Embellishments Section at RRR.  Lots of wonderful Scor-Tape holds everything securely in place, and I know it will hold everything right where I've placed it all.  Be sure to check the RRR Blog often for sales and promotions as well as lots of great inspiration.  Thanks so much for visiting today, and please stop by again soon.

Here's where I'm sharing my Christmas card:

Stencil Fun Challenge Blog - November: Anything Goes Using Stencil - I used a pretty Delicate Doily Stencil from Creative Worship Stamps.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says "Sparkle and Shine" so I added the cute little White Flatback Pearls.

Wishing You Love.....RRR Blog Hop

Thanks for stopping hy my blog today, creative friends.  I'm so glad you're here.  You may have arrived by way of Misty's Blog; or you can catch up by visiting the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.  But to be fair (and kind), please leave a comment on each blog along the way.  It's a very short hop.  Then, there's one final question on your next and final stop; which is at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.

This card uses white watercolor paper that I rubbed with oxide inks to create the background.  I splattered it with a mist of water.  I placed some inked hearts on the background to contrast with the background colors and yet compliment them.  This also gave my card the love and/or Valentine's Day element I needed.  The sweet sentiment I used is from Bonnie Garby Designs and it can be found in her Valentine Love Sentiments Digital Stamp Bundle.  These sentiments are SO sweet.

I ran a piece of adorable Light Pink Plaid Ribbon across the width of my card, and I secured it in place with a piece of Scor-Tape.  I love Scor-Tape because it comes in every width.....just like most of the ribbons do.  I tied a double bow with the Light Pink Plaid Ribbon as well as bow tied with a length of Apple Green Solid Baker's Twine.  You'll also see several light blue, pink and milk white Double Head Stamens.  The Light Pink Plaid Ribbon also has a DARLING 💗Faux Pearl 16mm Buckle Slide.  Another cute Embellishment.
