Happy Bee Day!

It's Tammy Louise here ribbon lovers!  I got the chance to play with three of the most contrasting ribbons today!  I may have a new favorite color combination as a matter of fact!  This Doily die was threaded with a combination of yellow seam binding, layered with diagonal stripe ribbon, and behind it all, the Jute made for a super textured feel to the card.   It's a really summery style Happy Birthday card for that special "Bee Day" from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store!

For a full list of the ingredients, hop over to my blog and say hi!

Graduation Gift Set by Jenn Cochran

Hi friends and followers of RRR!  It's me...Jenn Cochran.  Today I have a tutorial featuring Really Reasonable Ribbon and Helmar Adhesive.   I have made a gift set for my little Bean for his Kindergarten Graduation.  When I got my DT package from RRR, he had made a comment on how much he really liked the Shimmer Satin Ribbons...this was a perfect ribbon for his gift.

1.  I cut my Shimmer Satin Daffodil ribbon about 8" long.  You will need two at this length.

2.  Fold in half and crease. Run two lines of Helmar 450 on either side of the crease.

3.  Take each end of the ribbon and bring it up just to your crease line and press.  Now you have the start of what looks like a bow.

4.  Do step 3. with both of your 8" ribbons.

5.  Pinch both ribbons in the center and then glue the side of each ribbon in the center together.  Now you have a double bow.

6.  Add a loop of ribbon to the center and secure with Helmar 450.  Then glue your button to the center of your bow.

7.  Add a 6" piece of ribbon to the back of your bow for the "tails" of the bow.

8.  Add flags of different designer paper to the front of your gift bag using Helmar Professional Craft Glue.

Here is the finished product.  I have also made a card to match.  Inside the gift bag are leveled books just one level above Bean's reading level.  This way we have a goal for the summer.

Here is the set together.

I just loved this image from Pink Cat Studio-Blobby Loves School.

I just had to put googly eyes on him!!!

Here is the finished card again.

Thank you all for visiting today.  I hope you are all inspired to craft!  Visit me on my blog for more inspiration featuring Really Reasonable Ribbon!

Patriotic Tag

Hello Friends!! Happy Saturday!! Heather here and today I would like to share a tag I created with you using some fabulous Ribbon's and Trims from Really Reasonable Ribbon!

I used the Polka Dot ribbon and white crochet lace from this month's RRR assortment.  

Above you can see the red diagonal ribbon, the polka dot ribbon, Air Mail baker's twine, and a white candi.  I used the candi fix it foam pads to elevate my heart image, bell, star and text boxes.  I inked all my edges with Ranger's vintage Photo.  

I inked the polka dot ribbon with Ranger's Vintage photo as well.  You can see the red candies and white crochet lace below.

One last look at the finished piece.

I tied off the top with some more of the air mail baker's twine and the red glittery red  ribbon from this month's assortment.  The images are all ones I designed and put on a collage sheet. Thank you for visiting today!! Hugs Heather

BABY Announcements

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with some BABY Girl Announcements today. I came across these on Pinterest and just had to make 1, well 2.....LOL 

So on the 1st one I made I used some Really Reasonable Ribbon Estelle Lace, and then on the 2nd one I used the White Sheer Box Pleated Trim to dress it up. The sweet little flowers are from CottageCutz Dies. These were pretty simple to make!

On the inside I stamped a OLD SU! stamp that has all the room to write all information about BABY!!! Boy how I wish I would have done these when my kids were born....LOL 

I love the way they turned out, and think these would be super cute to send out to all family and close friends. 

Hope you enjoyed today's post, as I have enjoyed making them!!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

Simple and Sweet

Hi there all it's Ginny again with a sweet and simple card I created today. I used some great little printed die cuts, patterned paper layers, pretty inked doily gifted to me from dear friend Anna, and coordinating buttons. And of course trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I used the bow tying technique I shared in a previous tutorial to tie a sweet little bow of  Taupe Wired Chevron ribbon. The wired edge will keep the bow in perfect poofy shape : ) That's it for me today....short and sweet! I hope you all enjoy a happy and productive day and find some time to be creative : ) Huggs G
