Card Measures 5 x 5

I am having so much fun using these Beautiful CottageCutz Petites. Its been years since I have made 4 x 4 cards, and they are super fun and easy to make.
On my card here, I used the Sweet CottageCutz Strawberry Petite. Strawberries are one of my favorite fruits, and LOVE how it goes perfectly with the Design Paper I had picked up months ago at American Crafts.

Really Reasonable Ribbon/Moss Green Leaves
Really Reasonable Ribbon/Delicate Stitched Satin Pearl Pink
Really Reasonable Ribbon/Sweetheart Blossoms

 I used the Moss Green Leaves trim to wrap around the front of my card, then I tied it , and added a Delicate Stitched Pearl Pink bow, topping that with the beautiful Sweetheart Blossoms that I LOVE!!!  

I hope you enjoyed my card for today, as this one was super fast and easy to make!
Thank you for looking!!

Garden Girl

Hello Friends!!! Hope you are having a super awesome weekend!!
Today I'm sharing a mini card made using the CottageCutz Petites. I LOVE all the Petites, as they are perfect for any size card, and for mini albums as well.

On my card today I used the Darling CottageCutz Window cut in white, and distress with Antique Linen. Next I colored the curtain with copic in a red shade. Next I cut out the CottageCutz Grass with Cattails using a dark green card stock. I did distress it a bit using a green distress ink. For the CottageCutz Rose, I used distressed inks on it, and dusted it on. My card was super simple to make, as there is just 2 layers, with some Really Reasonable Ribbons Ric Rac in brown, running across the center. I then stamped some sentiments on the bottom of the card, and one inside the window. super easy!!


Hope you enjoyed today's post!! Have a wonderful Sunday!!

SPOOKY Witches "Trick or Treat" Bag

Hello Friends!!!!
Today I'm sharing my Trick or Treat "SPOOKY Witches " goody bag that I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using the Beautiful Ribbons from this months ribbon assortment kit. Love making these, and this one is a little different than the normal one, it has 2 pockets. 

So what I did with this bag, was cut the top part off, and then added it to the bottom, to create a pocket to hold the tag. I guess I could put a goody in there as well, but didnt have any to add :)

I used Scor-tape to close the bottom pocket 1/8" tape is what I used, and to attach it I used the 1/2" Scor-Tape, both from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Ribbons I used from this months Ribbon Club assortment are: The Black Ric Rac, Green Polka Dot Satin, Black Gingham, and Black Delicate Stitched Satin. LOVE all the ribbons in this months kit, well I love every month! Bonnie always does an AWESOME Job at having these assortments perfect for all of us to use.

Next I added some of the Orange Pom Pom Mini to the Bottom and top of the bag, and then the Green Polka Dots from this months Ribbon Club Kit. For the top part of my bag, I used the Ric Rac in Black, as well as on my Witches Shoe.

The Hemp Cording I used as laces, and I chose to use both Black & Orange from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I also used Buttons as well, and tied the Black hemp through one. My little Sweetheart Blossom, is also from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and Bonnie has tons of these in stock. These are now or have been my FAVORITE Flowers to use on all my crafting projects :)

The Bag, Dp, and tag are all from Pebbles Thirty One Collection. My witches shoe was cut out using the Cricut and the cartridge called Happy Hauntings. Little tickets are from SU!, and hopefully I didnt forget anything here :)


Thank you all for looking and have a super wonderful day!!

Shabby Chic Album Cover & Video

Hello everyone, today I wanted to share the cover of my Shabby Chic Floral Delight Album, and I also have a video of the entire album to share as well. My album was created for Really Reasonable Ribbon & The Scrapping Cottage, using tons of Really Reasonable Ribbon Seam Binding, and flowers throughout my entire album. I also used lots of CottageCutz dies, from The Scrapping Cottage.

I absolutely LOVE how this album turned out. My next album will be a little different, I'm thinking I need to create more spots for photo's, as I didn't have enough room in this one for all photo's from 2 trips.

On the cover I used Really Reasonable Ribbons Seam Binding(Moss Green, Rose Petal),Sweetheart Blossoms, & Trellis Roses. I also used Scor-Tape throughout this entire album.

I did add wedding stems, flourishes, Butterflies, Buttons, Vintage Trim, Rosette Trim, Photo wood frame, and CottageCutz die cuts.

I'm getting ready to start my next big album, and cant wait to share that with you all! Hope you like my video I've posted below, as it shows all details of each page.

Sweeet Ride A Pony Baby Card

Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday to all!!! Today I wanted to share a Sweet Baby card  I made. My card was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon & The Scrapping Cottage, using the beautiful Ribbons, Netting, and Hemp from RRR, and then Beautiful CottageCutz Baby Dies from The Scrapping Cottage.

I LOVE the Delicate Stitched Pink Satin Ribbon that Bonnie carries at the Really Reasonable Ribbon store. Its beautiful in person, and pictures don't seem to show all the beauty. I Criss Crossed the ribbon for a different look. Then used the white Tulle and ran it across the center over the Ribbon, and tied it in a bow. Next I added a big pink bow using the same Delicate Stitched pink Satin.

My buttons are also from the Really Reasonable Ribbon store, and I used the Hemp in PINK for a sewn look. Love using the hemp Bonnie carries, its perfect for the buttons.

The Baby Dies I used are CottageCutz dies, and are from the New Baby Release (The Scrapping Cottage). I used the CottageCutz "It's a Girl Balloon" Die, and Dusted it and then colored the bow, and strings with copics. Next I decided to use the DARLING CottageCutz "Ride A Pony" Die. On this one, I colored all the pieces using the Copic Markers. Then added some pearls in white.

The Design Paper is from American Crafts and one is the Pebbles collection.

I enjoyed creating my card for today! It was super easy!!!

Thank you for stopping by, and for all your lovely comments! Hope you have a super AWESOME Day!!

Really Reasonable Ribbons August Hop

Hello everyone and Welcome to 
♥♥♥Really Reasonable Ribbon's♥♥♥
August Blog Hop!

You should have arrived from Linsey's Blog If not you will want to start out at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog so that you wont miss anything.

I hope you have enjoyed our Hop so far today as there is a LOT of inspiration using the Beautiful August Ribbon Kit from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I just LOVE all the ribbons in this months assortment! Of course I LOVE every month as they are all so Beautiful!!! For this month I decided to make a Treat Box using a Recycled Ribbon Box.

For my box I chose to use the Brown Diamond Satin Ribbon and the lace from this months RRR assortment. I got these boxes from my work, we were going to throw them away, and I just couldn't throw them out, so I took home a bunch, and tried to get other crafters at work to take a bunch too. I thought they would be perfect as treat boxes, gift boxes, or perfect for holding a gift card wrapped inside.
I ran the lace around the top and bottom of the design paper. Next I used the same lace for my rosette. The brown Diamond Satin was used for a small box that sits behind the rosette. I also used Really Reasonable Ribbons Buttons,Seam Binding, and Sweetheart Blossoms to create my Rosette. I attached the paper using Scor-Tape, and also attached the lace, and rosette using Scor-tape as well. Super easy and fun box to make. My ticket is from SU! and the stamp used is one I had from a long time ago.
Buttons from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and score -tape used is also from RRR.

Your NEXT stop on the Really Reasonable Ribbon HOP is the Kathy's Blog. Thank you so much for joining us this month, and hope you enjoyed all the inspiration from the DT so far!
Hugs to all,
