Fun New Challenge at The Card Concept

Are you ready for another fun challenge?  My guess is that you're already creating something that will fit in perfectly at the challenge over at The Card Concept.  The beautiful inspiration photo is just a starting place for your creativity.  You can clearly see that I completely ignored the suggested color palette.  Instead, I used the elements I saw that drew my eye.  The items, specifically, that captured my eye include all the darling little cottages/villages that are scattered around the photo.  I also spotted the pretty Christmas wreath in the window, and I loved the black/white plaid or gingham.  SO many pretty elements from which to choose, so....I just include them ALL.  lol

Let me tell you the TRUTH about this card.  My friend and teammate at Creative Worship, the talented Angy Hughes, created the top portion of this card.  She sent it to me along with some lovely stamps, dies and goodies from her stash.  Anyway....my youngest grandson (Benjamin 10 mo.) decided to eat it.  My fault. I left it where he could get at it.  So, I salvaged the top portion of the card and used it to put this together.  The Village Dies, Thoughtful Wreaths Dies and star stamps are from Creative Worship Stamps.  They have SO many fabulous products.

I added a bow that includes lengths of gorgeous Iridescent White String and lovely Blue Jay Seam Binding, and it's topped with a Gold Rhinestone Embellishment and secured in place using Scor-Tape.  Don't miss out on the BIG RETIREMENT SALE taking place now at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The discounts will continue as the store closes its doors forever; but for the very best selection, I'd suggest grabbing a few things before they're gone.  The deals on (my favorite) Baker's Twine are AMAZING. 💗Just thought I'd mention that again.

Like I said, I went with a completely different color scheme than what you see in the photo above.  That doesn't matter!  We just want you to be inspired by SOMETHING....ANYTHING in the photo.  What is calling your name?  Is there anything that you see in the photo that you could create and share with us at The Card Concept?  We'd sure🍬LOVE to have you come play along with us.  There's a PRIZE.  Go check it out, friends.

Can you see all those pretty gold flecks?  SO pretty.  Thank you, Angy.  She did the difficult work on this card.  I just embellished it using a cute sentiment stamp found in the Lantern Light Stamp Set from Creative Worship and lots of great (DISCOUNTED) trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  It really would be awesome to have you come play along with us this month at The Card Concept.  It's always more FUN when everyone (including you) plays along.  Happy crafting.

I'm playing along here:

A Cut Above Challenge Blog - December: Anything Goes Using Dies - I used village dies, wreath dies and a sentiment die.

Happy Easter w/Really Reasonable Ribbon

With Spring already here, it's no secret that Easter is just around the corner.  I was able to create some Easter cards this week; and as always, Really Reasonable Ribbon always has the perfect trims for every project.  Today I'm sharing a card that uses Seam Binding and Solid Baker's Twine.  It's always good to know that Really Reasonable Ribbon will always have the exact colors, widths, styles and designs to match all my cards, tags and more.

My card has a cream cardstock base layered with some Crate Paper Farmhouse patterned papers that I machine stitched.  I ran a length of Cream Seam Binding across my card and tied a double bow with it.  I topped that with some Green, Purple and Orange Solid Baker's Twine and an Ivory Open Rose.  The sentiment is from Stamp Simply.  Everything is held securely in place using Scor-Tape.

The carrot and shiplap (crate) dies are from The Greetery.  The two photos you see above are the front of this Easter card.  Below you will see the inside view of my card.  The sentiment I used on the inside is from Bonnie Garby Designs and it's found in the Easter Religious Sentiment Digital Stamp Set.  I also added more of the Cream Seam Binding and Solid Baker's Twine as well as some pretty Metallic Gems from the Embellishments Section.

It would mean so much to me if you would stop by Really Reasonable Ribbon to look around and possibly treat yourself to some Ribbons, Trims or Twines, Mulberry Flowers, Adhesives or any of the other hundreds of amazing products they carry.  Thank you so much for visiting me here today and please stop by again soon.

Happy Mother's Day - The Four Seasons Challenge

Ready for an other FUN and FAB challenge over at The Four Seasons this month?  Well, there's a beautiful inspiration board featuring Spring Flowers this month on The Four Seasons Challenge Blog, and it immediately prompted my creativity.  As soon as I saw all those lovely blooms, I knew right away that I wanted to create a hand-stitched floral card.  I headed off to Pinterest and found a sweet (free) little pattern and grabbed my DCM floss and scissors.

The stitching die is from Waffle Flower (and I love it).  I used lots of pretty Seam Binding, Mulberry Leaves and Open Roses from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  The sentiment is from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps and is stamped on a banner using the Fishtail Banner Die.  I attached everything using Scor-Tape.

The patterned paper is from Crate Paper and I added bits of torn scraps from a piece of vintage sheet music.  I also added some pearl strings and stick pins to the pretty bow.  I think that just about covers everything I used.  If I did happen to miss anything, just ask.  I'm always happy to let you know what I used.

Here's this month's inspiration photo.  You don't necessarily even have to use flowers on your card.  Perhaps the colors, textures or another image altogether sparks your creativity...it's all good.  We just want to see how you're inspired by this photo when creating any type of Spring card or art project to share with us at The Four Seasons Challenge.

So pretty, huh?  We sure do hope you'll join us over at The Four Seasons Challenge this month.  We always enjoy seeing your creativity at play.  I personally look forward to visiting your blog to see what you're inspired to create.  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.  I always appreciate having you visit and say hello.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says "Anything Goes" Featuring Waffle Flower Crafts.  I used a Waffle Flower Oval Stitching Die on this card.

Have a Fruitful Day w/Stamp Simply

Have I mentioned just how much I LOVE Stamp Simply and all the beautiful stamps, dies, papers and products they carry?  Yes, I'm sure I have; and that's because they really are THE BEST.  No matter what the occasion, Stamp Simply always has the perfect products to tell someone exactly what I'm trying to express, and with the most gorgeous touches.  Stamp Simply has just released their very own Designer Patterned Papers and they're divine.

I used a white cardstock base layered with some of gorgeous new papers from the Stamp Simply Coffee or Tea 6x6 Paper Pad by cutting various sized rectangles using the Spellbinders Rectangle Pierced Dies.  The sentiment I used is found in the Fruit Sentiments Stamp Set, and the lovely plums are from the Fruit Stamp Set.

I tied some pretty Plum Baker's Twine around my card and also added a bow using the Pastel Seam Binding Bundle.  It's a fairly simple card, but the sentiment says SO much.  It's important to use our time wisely, and this sweet sentiment helps us to remember that.  Most all of the wonderful sentiment stamps from Stamp Simply are encouraging and uplifting.

You'll find so much wonderful inspiration every day on the Stamp Simply Blog, and so many great products when you shop at Stamp Simply.  I hope you'll take a peek at their wonderful products.  Thanks so much for visiting me today.  I always appreciate it, and I hope you'll visit again soon.  Happy crafting.

Happy Birthday Wishes w/RRR

One of the many things I love about Really Reasonable Ribbon is the vast variety of products they carry.  Not only will you always find everything spooled - from ribbons, twines, and binding to adhesives, flowers and hair bow accessories - they really have it ALL.  I truly enjoy the depth, dimension, textures and color that ribbons and trims add to my cards.

The darling sentiment I used is from Bonnie Garby Designs and it's from her Birthday Greetings 4 Digital Stamp Set which is filled with the most darling Birthday sentiments.  I love using the digital sentiment stamps from Bonnie Garby Designs because they make quick, easy and affordable to add the perfect sentiment.  I used the Frosted Frame Dies from The Greetery and Zesty Lemon Dies from Lawn Fawn.

July Blog Hop w/Really Reasonable Ribbon

If you're ready for a FUN and inspiring Blog Hop, then you're in the right place.  You should have arrived here by way of Misty's Blog; but if not you're able to catch up quickly.  The theme of our Blog Hop this month is Christmas in July.  I've combined some sweet die cuts with papers, trims, goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and a sweet sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs.  The prizes for this month's Blog Hop is a $10 credit to Really Reasonable Ribbon and two digital stamp sets of choice from Bonnie Garby Designs.  How sweet is this sentiment?

The Bonnie Garby Designs sentiment that I used on this card is from her The Heart of Christmas Bundle.  I cut it, and some of the other pieces, using a crimped frame from Gina K. Designs.  The sprinkles inside my mugs (gingerbread men and candy canes) are from Twiddler's Nook.  I tucked in several Double Head Stamens, a real cinnamon stick, and a length of both Black & White Bold Check Ribbon and Bay Leaf Seam Binding.  I tied a bow with the Black & White Bold Check Ribbon.

Because they're just so cute and I couldn't resist.....I made a matching tag/bookmark for this card.  I've been trying to remember to create a matching tag/bookmark and envelope when making my cards lately.  It's quick and easy, and even a simple piece of Baker's Twine could be the perfect touch every time.

The tag also uses lots of fabulous Scor-Tape, Black & White Bold Check Ribbon and a length of Teal Baker's Twine.  One of the reasons why I love Baker's Twine so much is because it's just ten cents ($0.10/yard) per yard.  Another is that it comes is so many fabulous colors - both striped and solid.  Baker's Twine is the perfect accent for tags, bookmarks and so many different projects.

I used several pieces of Scor-Tape in various widths to secure everything in place.  I also used some White 3-D Foam Tabs to raise the edges of the coffee mugs and some of the glitter-frosted marshmallows.  This was just one of those cards where I found myself adding more and more.....and then some more.  A small JenniBowlin blue ticket, a miniature Tim Holtz staple, Crate Paper stickers.  One of my signature cards where I just keep adding things as I go.

Really Reasonable Ribbon always has the perfect trims, twines and touches for every card and every project.  I'm also always so excited about the fabulous Adhesives available at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  OK, so your last stop on this Blog Hop is over on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog where you'll answer one final question.  Thanks for joining us this month, and please don't forget to leave a comment on each blog.

Blessings,

Karen

It's BLOG HOP Time w/Really Reasonable Ribbon

It's Blog Hop time at Really Reasonable Ribbon and we're SO glad that you've chosen to join us.  You should have arrived here today by way of Misty's Blog; but if not, don't worry because you can catch up quickly.  It's not a long Blog Hop, but there are two FABULOUS prizes up for grabs.  One lucky person will WIN a $10 credit to Really Reasonable Ribbon and one digital stamp set from Bonnie Garby Designs.

This sweet card started with basic white cardstock.  The next two layers are Tim Holtz Watercolor Paper that I rubbed with various colors of Tim Holtz Oxide Inks.  I splattered a bit of water and also ink onto my papers to create a fun background.  The sentiments were stamped in Vintage Photo Oxide Ink using an ice cream stamp set from Stampin' Up.

I rubbed extra bits of the watercolor paper with inks and used those pieces to cut my lollipops.  I glittered the layers on the lollipops.  I tied a piece of Light Blue Baker's Twine around the middle lollipop.  All the layers and the lollipops are attached with pieces of Scor-Tape to secure them, and some 3-D Foam Tabs to raise them a bit.

At the left side of my card, I added a pretty bow using Baby Pink Seam Binding to match the softness of the card.  You're always sure to find the perfect color, width, and design in any type of trim when you shop at Really Reasonable Ribbon.  They also carry wonderful products like Adhesives, Mulberry Flowers and SO much more.  Your next stop on the Blog Hop is the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.  Thanks so much for joining us.

I'm sharing my card here:

Colorful Options Challenge - February 2024 - PINK - I just love the fun in this inspiration photo.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says "Love Is In the Air" - I LOVE lollipops, and I also added a HEART to this super sweet card.

Seize the Birthday Challenge Blog - Challenge #277 - Splatter - I had so much fun splattering this card with light brown ink. I'm still working on this technique, and there's a real learning curve involved with it.

Thanks again for your visit today.

Hocus Pocus w/Really Reasonable Ribbon

Are you all ready for the little goblins who will be knocking on your door saying, "Trick or Treat" in a few weeks?  Well, if you're making any Halloween cards (or any cards for that matter), then you're sure to find the perfect ribbons, trims and twines (among oodles of other wonderful things) at Really Reasonable Ribbon to help adorn your cards and projects.  And....you'll find oodles of great sentiments for your cards at Bonnie Garby Designs.

This card has a basic black cardstock base layered with some Halloween patterned papers from my stash.  I cut half a small doily from another patterned paper using a Papertrey Ink die.  The ghosts are Jolees stickers from my stash.  The fun sentiment (Hocus Pocus) is from Bonnie Garby Designs and it comes in the Spooky Halloween Bundle.

I wrapped a length of Orange Seam Binding around the bottom of the card and tied a bow with the Orange Seam Binding, Black Seam Binding and a length of Green Apple Baker's Twine.  I tucked in a few Double Head Stamens and topped it all with a pretty Orange Open Rose.  In the upper right-hand corner, I attached a black & white Gingham Fabric Covered Flatback Button.  Pretty much everything was attached using Scor-Tape.

You're always guaranteed to find the PERFECT ribbon, trim, twine and everything spooled at Really Reasonable Ribbon in addition to all their fabulous Adhesives, Flowers, Hair Accessories and SO much more.  You'll also find loads of great inspiration on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog so please stop by often.  We always enjoy your visits.

As You Like It Challenge Blog - Halloween or Fairies?  I choose Halloween over fairies because I don't believe in fairies (they're not real) and I don't have any fairy images.  They're just not my thing.  I do, however, enjoy cute little Halloween images.

I layered white cardstock and a deep plum cardstock to create the base.  On the second layer of white cardstock, I stamped sentiments using the Autumn Blessings Stamp Set in various shades of pink oxide inks.  The sentiment is from the Floral Cluster Summer Roses Stamp Set and it's stamped in Tuxedo Black Ink.

The gorgeous florals are also found in the Floral Cluster Summer Roses Stamp Set and was cut using the coordinating Floral Cluster & Sprigs Dies.  The finishing touches were a length of pretty Seam Binding and a length of Pink Baker's Twine.  There's never a shortage of beautiful stamps, dies and other products to help you create something gorgeous when you shop at Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

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

25 Days of Christmas w/Paper Sweeties

Christmas is almost here!  Today is Day 23 in the 25 Days of Christmas with Paper Sweeties and I'm sharing a sweet little gift tag.  We all need gift tags at Christmas and all year long; and at Paper Sweeties, you'll find several useful tag dies to help with this need.  There are SO many cute and helpful crafting items.

For this Christmas gift tag, I started with the For You Stamp Set and coordinating For You Sweet Cuts to create the tag base.  In addition to the darling tag, there are also several useful and adorable sentiments in the For You Stamp Set, and I used some of them on this sweet tag (For You/With Love).  Next, I used the ADORABLE Stitched Tags #2 Sweet Cuts to cut my mittens from patterned paper.  I used the Stitched Tags #2 Sweet Cuts again to cut the mitten tops from cream wool felt and the sweet little bow from the patterned paper.  I added a sweet Sequin on the bow and added a length of Seam Binding to the tag.

The For You Sweet Cuts were used again on my second tag.  I'm telling you, this TAG DIE is awesome, and I use it A LOT.  The Stitched Tags #2 Sweet Cuts also contain this adorable Christmas tree, so I used that to cut my tree from wool felt.  The star can be found in the Planner Series Shape Icons.  A few more of the darling Sequins were the finishing touch.  We all need a good tag die, and the For You Sweet Cuts are a great choice.

There are so many sweet, useful and just plain ADORABLE products available at Paper Sweeties.  You won't want to miss out on all the FUN taking place this month as we celebrate the 25 Days of Christmas.  There's also a $100 give-away so don't forget to read everything on the Paper Sweeties Blog.  Thanks for stopping by today, and from all of us at Paper Sweeties - MERRY CHRISTMAS.  If you don't know quite what you want from Paper Sweeties, a Gift Certificate is always a great choice.  You'll absolutely LOVE all their sweet products.  Happy crafting, everyone.

I'm playing along here:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog - Simon Says "PARTY" - Well, wherever you have a PARTY, you have GIFTS.  Wherever you have GIFTS, you have TAGS.  So, PARTY ON!

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog - Simon Says "PARTY TIME" - As I mentioned above for SSS Wednesday Challenge, every good PARTY needs gifts, and every good gift needs a TAG.  So...there you go.  Also, when you put on your Winter mittens and go outside to play, that's always a good PARTY as well.

Dar & Diane's Double D Challenge Blog - Candy Canes - It took me a while to realize that the inspiration photo also included candy cane peppermint candy pieces (in the upper left corner) so I finally decided that it was ok for me to enter my peppermint candy tag.

Your Next Stamp - Challenge #194 - GIFTS:  I absolutely LOVE Your Next Stamp and I have mentioned to "Santa" that I'd love some new YNS stamps for Christmas.  We shall see what happens.....Santa.  I didn't use any YNS products on these tags.  I chose to make tags for the GIFTS Challenge because every GIFT needs a TAG.  I made lots of tags this Christmas so that each person would get a hand-made tag on their gift.  It's sorta part of the gift.

Blessings,

Karen
