So for my project today I made a Nautical Theme Carry Caddy with side compartments . I absolutely had so much fun making this sweet caddy. I used some dies, and made up a box as I figured out how large I wanted it to be. The measurements on this caddy are 4 5/8"w x 5 1/4" H x 3 1/4" D. The sides can hold any crafting goodies, gift cards, candy, or office supplies. The inside can hold a little gift or whatever you choose. These would be fun to make for co-workers, crafting swaps, or whatever you choose. I will be making more of these and may do a video tutorial on this as well.

I used lots of Really Reasonable Ribbon for my Caddy today, and also lots of flowers. The paper collection I chose to use is By the Sea by Carta Bella . The little Sailor dog is by KaDoodle Bug Designs.

Ribbons and flowers used:

• Open roses
• Rose Buds
• Sweetheart Blossoms
• Mini Sweetheart Blossoms
• Cosmos 
• Cherry Blossoms
• 3/16" Red plaid Ribbon
• 2 tone blue 20mm open rose

RRR Shabby Chic Lollipop card & video

 

Hello everyone and Happy Friday to you all! Today's fun project is a shabby chic Lollipop card I made for Really Reasonable Ribbon and for our Doll club meeting that I hosted in April where I taught a class on making these. I had prepped all the layers and bows and had everything ready for everyone to make, it was Super fun! I used the beautiful ribbons, flowers and embellishment from RRR.

To start with I cut out several different die cuts in different design papers and what ahead and use foam tabs to layer each one on top of each other. Next I used an Image that I had printed out and then cut out with an oval die, then used an old trim around that using hot glue. I did add a straw and used Really Reasonable Ribbons Grosgrain Swiss dots ribbon in light pink around the straw, and love how it looks. Next I used Delicate stitched ribbon in a shade of blue, and then a old vintage blue ribbon as well ,I made bows with those, and then I used some Satin Pink Ribbon 1/4" for my bows in pink. I used one on the bottom and one up on the top by the flowers.

Flowers used are:

Lotus 35mm 2 tone flower 

white and pink sweetheart blossoms 

cherry blossom

open roses  2tone pink with dusty pink centers, and then 2 tone ivory an pale pink 20mm

For all the layered die cut pieces I did use really reasonable ribbon foam tabs. And then the small flower on the bottom bow is really reasonable ribbons flower. I love making these lollipop cards and do have a video on making one that I made awhile back. I will link video here.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my blog post today. Also if you'd like to see my YouTube video on creating a lollipop card you can find my video here on YouTube

So for today I created a card using the Beautiful YELLOW ribbon you see 2nd from the left. Its BEAUTIFUL!!! I made a BIG YELLOW bow for this beauty!

I used Crate Paper "Open Book" paper pad to design this card. Next I chose some Spellbinders dies, and then stamps from I Brake For Stamps. I chose the Happy Birthday( you can SAVE 10% using coupon code SAVE10CHERYL), stamped in Memento black ink, and then the rose(Floral Plate 1), stamped 2 times ink black, then colored with yellows, and green SU! pens. I lastly added some stickles to the roses.

 

The sketch for my card I did a little different, I was playing around with different layouts today, and chose to do something fun :)

 

The pieces that I used for the 4 corners are from Pizzazz Aplenty, not sure if they are still around or not, as this was sent to me several years back. these are blue with silver rim, however I flipped them over to use the side that matches the dp I used today :)

Beauty begins.....

THE MOMENT YOU DECIDE to be YOURSELF!

 



 Awwww LOVE this sentiment as its so true!!! Love being myself, and would never want to pretend to be something other than just that! This sentiment is one of the Many Beautiful sentiments from The Project Bin!!! I LOVE everyone of their stamps, as they are so unique and beautiful!



 Lately I have been trying to work with some different color combo's and some have colors I really don't work with often, like Orange. hehehehe. Its one of my least favorite colors to work with, but im finding that when I challenge myself to use these colors like YELLOW, I am happy with the results. And this color combo works well. I took the colors from the design paper. it has a maroon , red,orange, and green in it. It does have my favorite color in it as well (PINK) but I did not use that color in my colors for today.

The sentiment I used today came from the Project Bin's "Wise Women" set. I stamped it in CTMH Pansy Purple on white card stock, then cut that out with a spellbinders frame die(airbrushed it),next i stamped the sentiment again on another piece of white card stock in SU! Riding Hood Red ink, I cut the banner "Yourself" out and popped it up on the main sentiment area. The fancy  Beautiful frame behind the sentiment is from JustRite Papercraft and is called Heart & Frame Dies 05016 and was cut out in white!
Design paper is from American Crafts!
Ribbon is from RRR and is the Satin ribbon with grosgrain edge.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely Sunday!
hugs to all,
Cheryl
