Happy Mother's Day w/Really Reasonable Ribbon

Ribbons, anyone?  Yes please!  I'm always up for a good ribbon rich card and when I shop at Really Reasonable Ribbon, I'm always sure to find the perfect laces, ribbons, trims, twines and more.  There's a perfect color, width and style of ribbon for every project at RRR and it's SO much FUN making cards and projects using the wonderful goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

So, like many of the cards I make, this one started with basic black cardstock.  I used a Lattice Embossing Folder on this card to give it some great texture and design (I'm not sure why I did this since you can't see it at all...lol).  Next, I laid several different ribbons across my card and secured them on the back with Scor-Tape.  The ribbons I used on this card include May Arts Stitched Burlap Ribbon, two different widths of Black & White Bold Gingham, Bright Pink Gingham, Plaid Light Pink Gingham, Pink Two-Toned Wrinkle Ribbon, Black & White Plaid Houndstooth, and Canvas Pink Twill Ribbon.

The pretty bow I added uses Pink Two-Toned Wrinkle Ribbon, and I topped that with a Mulberry Leaf, some Double Head Stamens, and some pretty Mulberry Flowers including Miniature Ivory Sweetheart Blossoms and a Black Open Rose.  My sentiment is a Melissa Frances rub-on that I rubbed onto a Maya Road canvas tag and tied with lengths of knotted Black Licorice Baker's Twine.  Rub-ons are often forgotten items in our crafting stash, so this card incorporates a few of them.  You can place/rub a rub-on right onto ribbon as I did (above) on the canvas ribbons.

As you can see, this card was pretty much made by laying various ribbons across my card.  Really Reasonable Ribbon carries so many great ribbons and trims to help you create interesting cards and projects.  Be sure to stop by the RRR Blog for loads of great inspiration, Bonnie Garby Designs for lots of great digital products, and Really Reasonable Ribbon for ALL your ribbon and crafting needs.  Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today.  I always appreciate it.

Wait Patiently w/RRR

Hello, creative friends, and thanks for stopping by my blog today as I share a pretty card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon.  It's aways fun to adorn my cards with the pretty ribbons, trims, flowers and twines from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  These sweet products add so much fabulous texture and layering to my cards.

I painted my background using Lilac and Concord Oxide Inks on a white watercolor paper that I cut with Crimped Frame Die from The Greetery.  The stamped leaves and flowers are from a (retired) PTI stamp set called Petite Pots.  The stamped sentiment is from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The pretty things you see on the right-hand side of my card include some Solid Black Baker's Twine, Plum Baker's Twine, Double Head Stamens, and some pretty Miniature Pastel Sweetheart Blossoms.  I also tucked in some bundled Natural Burlap String which is a great "filler" for floral accents.  It's a very inexpensive trim, it comes in oodles of great colors, and it works perfectly every time.  You can find Burlap String here.

Thanks again for stopping by to say hello.  Be sure to visit Really Reasonable Ribbon and treat yourself to something new.  There are so many great options and you're sure to find the perfect accents for your next projects.  You'll find lots of great inspiration on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog, so be sure to visit often.  Have a blessed and creative week, friends.

Here's where I'll be linking up this card:

Time Out Challenges - Word Prompt - Challenge #214 - A day without sunshine......certainly wouldn't bring any flowers.  That would be incredibly sad.

The Inspiration Station - Inspired by a Floral Shop - I was inspired by the greens.  While I love the pretty floral colors, I also enjoy the long green stems and wanted to show off both - the greens and the flowers.

Keep on crafting and creating!

Blessings,

Karen

Live Life in Full Bloom w/RRR

Welcome back today, everyone.  Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at this sweet Spring card I created using some beautiful accents from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Whether you're already a fan of Really Reasonable Ribbon or if you've never yet visited this AMAZING store, you're sure to find many wonderful things to help you expand your creativity.  Not only do they carry every trim imaginable, but they also have SO much more.

This card started with basic black cardstock and a patterned paper from Whimsy Stamps' Fabulous Florals 6x6 Paper Pad.  I machine stitched my papers together including the piece of white watercolor paper that I painted with Lilac, Raspberry and Concord Oxide Inks.  I also stenciled a pink floral background using Spun Sugar Oxide Ink.  One my base was created, I stamped an Echo Park sentiment.

I wrapped some Mint Green Baker's Twine around my card.  Next, I attached a floral cluster that includes some Solid Black Baker's Twine, Mulberry Leaves, a few Double Head Stamens and a few Miniature Pastel Sweetheart Blossoms.  Yes, there are lots of beautiful accents waiting for you at RRR.  We all hope that you'll join us next Friday, May 13, for the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop.  You could be the lucky winner of this month's GORGEOUS Ribbon Club Assortment.  Thanks again for visiting today, and please stop by again soon.
