Halloween Step Card

Welcome back to the Let's Craft and Create Challenge #118 Halloween/Fall or Autumn.  I love making Halloween projects and cards.  I have some old supplies mixed with new to share with you but these supplies can still be purchased at most places.  

 The little witch is from digital The Paper Shelters and I love using her for many of my Halloween cards for my grand daughters and nieces each year.  I colored this little witch with Copic markers and colored pencils and added some glitter glue.  The orange frame is the Sue Wilson Designs Ornate Pierced Rectangle die set.

I made the moon by cutting out a circle and using it as a stencil behind the little witch.  I colored the moon with an orange Copic marker and used orange glitter glue from Sparkles N Sprinkles. The bats inside the moon are from the Impression Obsession Halloween Hill die.  The spider webs were punched with a Martha Stewart spider punch as well as the edges of the inside of the card seen below.

I used the Cheery Lynn Step Card die to cut the shape of the card.  It is worth having since it also has dies in this set to cut out the sides, front and inside pieces.  I used the Cheery Lynn banner die for my Stampin Up Halloween sentiment stamp FaBOOlous and the Cheery Lynn Spider Doily Web die for the inside of the card. 

I really enjoy using each year using the Halloween words from the Frantic Stamper-Scary Words die set well as the crazy ghost from the Impression Obsession Ghostie die set.  

This gorgeous ribbon is called Orange Plaid Ribbon with Black Stitching from Really Reasonable Ribbon.com and the bow was made using the Zutter Bow Maker.  If you have any trouble making bows, the Zutter Bow Maker from Really Reasonable Ribbon is worth having.  

Hope our wonderful design team inspired you to make your Halloween projects and cards this year.  Stay tune for the next month for another wonderful challenge from Let's Craft and Create.

Lipstick Red Seam Binding Ribbon

This is my posting day for Really Reasonable Ribbon.  Hi, I am Nancy Hill and very excited to share with you my card as well as this gorgeous Lipstick Red seam binding ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon at $.30 a yard.  This color is deep red to match perfectly with the poinsettia and colors in the Graphic 45 paper.  Soon,  I will be ordering the roll of this gorgeous Lipstick Red seam binding ribbon for my Christmas cards and Valentine cards.  

I made this bow using the Zutter Bow It All bow maker which I have been recommending to everyone since I bought mine over a year ago from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I had given the Zutter Bow It All  bow maker as Christmas gift to my friends and now they are recommending it to everyone as well.  I always attach my ribbons and bows to my cards or projects using the Scor Tape from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  This tape is a must for me and Really Reasonable Ribbon carries various sizes.  

I added a pearl antique brad for the center of this bow since I wanted the bow to bring out the poinsettia.  I added the new Tutti Designs Dove Circle die that was cut with gold mirror card stock.  The embossing folder is the Creative Expression-Sue Wilson-Snow Flake Lattice on white/gold shimmer card stock.  The Merry Christmas is a die cut from Cheery Lynn Designs.

Come join the fun with Really Reasonable Ribbon challenges and our Blog Hop every month on the 13th and you might become the next winner.  The Really Reasonable Ribbon design team really appreciates all of your comments as well as seeing your beautiful cards posted on these challenges.  Our design team members have new cards posted each day on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Facebook and Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog of inspiring ways of using these gorgeous ribbons along with the other stunning flowers and supplies to give your card that "WOW!" look.

Sizzlin Summer Sunshine

Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge theme is the Sizzlin Summer with the gorgeous
Citrus Assortment in the June Ribbon Club Assortment.  Isn't this assortment of gorgeous ribbon in the June Ribbon Club  what you need for your cards or projects for this summer or even this fall!

I am using the stunning 5/8" wide Maize Taffeta ribbon that you can find in this Citrus Assortment assortment or separately from Really Reasonable Ribbon on-line store.  I added a brad in the center of the double bow.  The double bow was made from the Zutter Bow It All  bow maker from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  If you are struggling making beautiful bows, the Zutter Bow It All is what you need.  If you want to know more information on this fantastic bow maker, watch a few of Bonnie Garby's You Tube videos to get you started.

I attached the ribbon and bow using the Scor-Tape from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I really find this adhesive tape important for me to use on my ribbons and bows since I can take the bow or ribbon off of the adhesive tape a few times to arrange my ribbons and bows and the tape remains sticky.


Other supplies used:
Graphic 45 Card stock - Time To Flourish
Sue Wilson Designs - Thank You die
Cheery Lynn Designs - Daisy die
Tattered Lace - Paradise Ferns die

Masculine Card

I have a lot of fishermen in our family and made this for my nephew who lives to fish.  Scrapy Land has a nice selection of dies for those cards that you want to add fishing gear, fish or a beautiful boat.  This fishing gear is from the gorgeous Tattered Lace-Fishermen die and Frantic Stamper Large Fish Fly die with the Cheery Lynn Designs - Wish Big sentiment die and Fishing die.  

I used some of my Copic markers to color the fishing gear and fishing rod and then added clear embossing powder on top.  I added Ultra Thick Melt Art bronze embossing enamel to the large Frantic Stamper fishing fly.  

I used a Stampin Up brick embossing folder to the cream paper in the center of the picture frame.  

I added the chipboard fish to the side.  The picture frame is the Sue Wilson Double Pierced Rectangle set B.  I used 3D foam self adhesive tape under the gray frame to raise it up and added small silver brads on each corner.  

Scrapy Land has over 40 brands of dies.  You can see them all here.  

Thank you for joining us at Scrapy Land and keep visiting the 
Scrapy Land Face Book and Scrapy Land Blog to continue to see the wonderful projects and cards that the designers have for you.  Come join the fun and post your card.

Things With Wings-On Your Special Day

 What an exciting Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge theme, "Thing With Wings".  This is the gorgeous 3/8" Checkerboard Turquoise Satin Ribbon which is offered separately or from the Really Reasonable Ribbon April 2016 Ribbon Club.   If you really love ribbon and would like to have a wonderful assortment of ribbons sent to you automatically each month, just join the Really Reasonable Ribbon Club!  Monthly ribbon club assortments are selected and pre-packed to reflect a specific theme, color, or holiday season. The assortments vary from month to month, but an average assortment has 9 different ribbon styles and consists of 16-18 yards of ribbon.  The total price of each monthly assortment is $9.50 and includes the shipping/handling fee too!

I used a rhinestone heart ribbon buckle slider in this bow.  I made this bow with the slider using the Zutter Bow It All bow maker.   I attached the ribbon and bow with 3/8" wide Scor-Tape.  I love using Scor-Tape than glue since I can rearrange by bow and ribbon on this tape and the bow will still stick on the tape.

April Blog Hop

I am Nancy and you should be coming to my blog from Bonnie.   Wasn't her card just beautiful.  Really Reasonable Ribbon has an exciting blog hop from our creative designer with this gorgeous April's Ribbon Club Assortment for you. 

I am using the one ribbon in this assortment, 3/8" Shell Print On Red Satin  for the ribbon that was weaved on a 4" square.



3/8" Shell Print on Red Satin

The red satin ribbon with the shell print is also solid red on the other side.  I cut each ribbon at 4" and weaved one side printed and the other side the solid ribbon on a 4 " square paper with 1"  Scor-Tape in the center to hold the weave.  After all of the ribbon was woven, I used Scor-Tape on the edge of the square to attach the remaining ends of the ribbon.  I added 3mm flat back pearls to the ribbon in the heart. 

I used  5/8" Satin With Grosgrain Edge White for the bow with the rhinestone heart ribbon slider buckle.  This bow was made using the Zutter Bow It All bow maker and attached to the card with 1/2" wide Scor-Tape which all were purchased from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

 

I cut a 5 x 5 square of white glimmer paper and cut a heart in the center and embossed this square.   I added the Cheery Lynn Design, Heart-to-Heart largest die in this set to the embossed paper and then glued the square with the ribbon behind the heart.  The next layer is red mirror paper behind the background and then another layer of white glimmer paper.   

The flower was made from a Sue Wilson Camellia flower set and I cut small circles of Really Reasonable Ribbon Red Netting and glued each circle in between each petal to give it a lacy appearance.   

Other supplies:

Sue Wilson Camellia Flower Die Set

Sue Wilson Lace Edge Leaves Die Set

Cheery Lynn Heart-to-Heart Doily Die Set

Sue Wilson Pierced Rectangle Squares Die Set

We R Memory Keepers Next Level Wave Embossing Folder

Red Mirror Card Stock

Snow White Glimmer Paper

Easter Notebook

 

 

Welcome back Really Reasonable Ribbon bloggers.  I have a very fun project to share with you.  I am giving each of my grand children for Easter a decorative notebook, mini album or diary.  I am having so much fun with the Graphic 45 Classic Collections, Once Upon A Springtime, with fairies and bunnies along with the varieties of gorgeous laces, ribbons and supplies from Really Reasonable Ribbon to make my Easter projects.  Really Reasonable Ribbon has the variety of sizes and colors of ribbon to give your card or project that special WOW! 

 

 

  

My grand daughters are into fairies and this nana is also loving fairies now so the Graphic 45 Springtime collection was my choice to use for this Easter present.  The cover of the diary is leather.  Therefore, I used 1" Scor-Tape to stick the paper onto the leather. 

I created a tutorial for you on how to make a variety of lovely flowers out of ribbon using the quality of satin ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I tried using florist and other ribbons but found that the variety of stain ribbon from RRR didn't burn and the petals curled very nicely using a candle in a jar.  This flower was made using the gorgeous 5/8" Double Faced Satin White ribbon and 5/8" Double-Face Satin Flash Green.  The bow also was made using the 5/8" Double Face Satin ribbon  with the beautiful Melon seam binding ribbon.  Both bows were made using the Zutter Bow It All bow maker and attached with  Scor-Tape from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  In the past, my bows were not as fancy as they are now using the Zutter Bow It All.  Making bows are so much fun now!!!  The green leaf is the Cheery Lynn Design Ivy strip and the white is Sue Wilson Designs-Lace Edged Leaves.

The beautiful cream/ivory Arianna Natural Crochet lace is on the sides and I used 1/2" Scor-Tape to stick the lace on the paper.  This tape is much better than glue for lace and ribbon. 

 

 The back cover of the diary is the 5/8" Double Faced Satin White ribbon with a 3/8" strip of Graphic 45 paper down the center of the ribbon.   The owl, castle and knight are dies from Tattered Lace's new collection. 

This is the inside of the diary.  I cut out these flowers from the Graphic 45 Springtime collection and used foam tape and glue on the back to give the flowers some dimension.  Again, this knight is a die from the Tattered Lace new collection. 

 

 

This page is inside on the second paper of the diary.  This very cute dragon is Freddie from digital Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet.  I loved Sylvia's digital stamps.   I colored Freddie using Copic markers and colored pencils.  I cut this out and used foam tape and glue on the back.  I cut out the flowers in the Graphic 45 Springtime Collection and also used some foam tape and glue to apply it on this page to give these flowers some dimension. 

 

This is a lot of information but I didn't want you to miss out of how I did this diary in case you are interested doing this.  Yes, it might take some time but I take more time thinking about my next step than doing it. 

 

I hope you enjoyed this and would love to read your comments.  I love reading your blogs and being inspired from your projects and cards as well as learning so much from you.    There is so many new social media friends and I really enjoy hearing from you so much.  Again, my e-mail is lehill@mtida.net or I answer the questions on my comments on the blog as well.

Easter Tags in a Card

I am Nancy and it is time for the exciting March Blog Hop. You should be coming to my blog from Bonnie.   Wasn't her card just beautiful.  

 

Really Reasonable Ribbon has a selection of gorgeous ribbon in March's Ribbon Club. 

 I made this pocket card to fit four book markers that will be given to each of my grand children in this family.   I had a lot of fun thinking about what papers and ribbons for each of my tags since there re one boy and three girls in this family. 

The gorgeous ribbon for the bow is the 5/8" Diamond Satin Apple Green with a 8mm ribbon slider buckle.  I made this bow with the Zutter Bow-It-All bow maker and able to slide the ribbon in the middle of the bow before tying the ribbon in back of the bow while still in the bow maker.   I attached the bow to the card using the 3/8" Scor-Tape from Really Reasonable Ribbon.   
 

The gorgeous flowers are the Wild Orchid Craft flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

 

 

The tags were made with Graphic 45 Botanical Tea Collection paper and a Stampin Up tag punch.  Each tag has the same poem "Foot Prints in the Sand" on the back.  The front of the tag has the Heart Felt Creations Cross and Lily die with the Cheery Lynn Designs Polynesian Sails Oval Doily.  These ribbons were attached to the tag with a pearl brad: 

 

3/8"  Select Swiss Dots Grosgrain Bright Green

3/8" Roses with Scalloped Edge Grosgrain Pearl Pink -

 

5/8" Pearl Pink Double-faced Satin Ribbon

5/8" Diamond Satin Apple Green

Above is the pocket card without the tags
and below is the back of the card.

I folded white cardstock paper and cut out the Heart Felt Creation Decorative Bloom Corner die and glued it to the back of the pocket card so that this card will stand upward.  My daughter is able to display this card on her fireplace mantle or the bookshelf during Easter time with this stand attached to the back of the card.

Just For You

Welcome to Really Reasonable Ribbon blog and today is my day to show you what I have created for Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I love working with pinks and corals this time of year with the beginning of spring.  This gorgeous ribbon is the light satin coral with the gorgeous Wild Orchid Craft flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  This absolutely gorgeous ribbon is the 7/8" Double-faced Satin Light Coral.  Since my grand daughters and their friends love lots of bling, glitter and sparkles, I added the rhinestone ribbon slider buckle to the bow and lots of gorgeous pink glitter to the butterfly and coral colored frame. 

 Of course, I couldn't have made this bow especially with the ribbon slider buckle added to the center of the bow without the Zutter Bow-It-All V2 from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I find that I spend less time making my bows and each one comes out looking more professional using the Zutter Bow-It-All bow maker with the Helping Hand pegs.
