It's Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop Time

Hurray!  It's time for the monthly Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop.  You should have arrived here by way of Misti's Fabulous Blog; but if not, you can catch up quickly.  This is a short hop (just six stops in total) and you can WIN a $10 gift card to spend at Really Reasonable Ribbon as well as one digital stamp set of choice from Bonnie Garby Designs.  I've used products from both of these awesome companies on my card today.

I used black cardstock layered with a teal cardstock that I ran through my Sizzix with the Tim Holtz Ruler Embossing Folder, and I rubbed some gold DecoFoil over it.  Next, I used several patterned papers from my stash.  Each piece was attached using a fabulous Adhesive called Scor-Tape.  The papers are all from a Crate Paper line called Portrait.  I cut them with a postage die.  The inner-most cut showcases a sentiment from the digital Spring Stamp Set by Bonnie Garby Designs.

I added some soft sweet Magnolia Flowers and one soft Yellow Sweetheart Blossom as well as some beautiful Mulberry Leaves.  A small white doily and a Solid Teal Baker's Twine bow were the finishing touches.  Really Reasonable Ribbon carries SO many fabulous products - from Ribbons, Trims, Laces and Twines to Adhesives and Flowers - they have it all.

The next, and final, stop on this FUN Blog Hop is on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog where you'll need to answer one easy question.  This will enter you to WIN the fabulous prizes.  You'll find amazing inspiration on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog as well as on the RRR Instagram Page.  Be sure to check it out often and go ahead and treat yourself to something new from Really Reasonable Ribbon. Thanks so much for joining us.  We always appreciate your visits.

Here's where I'm sharing my card:

Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge - March: Anything Goes/Twist: Luck - I did incorporate some green on my base layer which is pressure embossed using a Tim Holtz Ruler Embossing Folder.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - A Bit O' Green - My base layer is green.

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - A Bit O' Green - My base layer is green.

Double D Challenge - March: Going Green - It was fun to incorporate some various shades of green in my card.  I was inspired also by the light colored flowers (upper left) and the greenery.

Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge - Challenge #2510 - Anything Goes

Happy crafting, friends.

Easter Wishes From Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello everyone and thanks so much for visiting me today.  I'm sharing two pretty cards that I created using a few of my (many) favorite products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  There are always so many perfect ribbons, trims, twines and delights at RRR to help me make my cards extra special, and I know that YOU will find something to jazz up your next card or project when you shop at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

This first card started with basic cardstock that I covered with scraps of patterned papers using Scor-Tape to adhere it all.  The sentiment was printed on white cardstock using a digital stamp from Bonnie Garby Designs.  It from the Easter Religious Digital Bundle which is one of many awesome designs you'll find at Bonnie Garby Designs.  I rubbed oxide ink over the sentiment and splattered a hot mess of acrylic paint on it to add a bit of color.

At the bottom of this card, I tied a length of Solid Teal Baker's Twine and topped it with some Double Head Stamens and a Pink Sweetheart Blossom.  There are SO many lovely colors of Baker's Twine at Really Reasonable Ribbon that will let your cards POP with color.  This is a very simple card, but the Baker's Twine and Mulberry Flower really give it some pizzaz.

My second card also uses a sentiment from the Easter Religious Digital Bundle by Bonnie Garby Designs.  I rubbed the image with Lavendar and Concord Oxide Inks and then cut it with die-cut frame.  Because the frame wasn't long enough for the card, I was able to cut it and fill in the empty space with ribbon.  To do this, I used a piece of White Satin Middle Ruffle along with a length of Elderberry Seam Binding.  They're also attached securely with Scor-Tape.

I added some Double Head Stamens and a pretty Lilac Magnolia Flower to finish this simple card.  Really Reasonable Ribbon has so many great ribbons, laces, trims and twines to help you adorn your cards and make something special.  Don't forget to stop by the RRR Blog often for loads of inspiration and information about special sales and promotions.  AND....our monthly Blog Hop on the 13th of every month.

I'm sharing my card in these FUN challenges that I love:

Colorful Options - April 2023 - Pastels - I love using pastels.  I'm entering both of my cards today in this challenge.  I'm always inspired by the gorgeous inspiration photos here at Colorful Options.

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Simon Says, "Add Texture" so I added baker's twine, ribbon, flowers, etc.

Happy crafting,

Karen
