A Sweet Friendship Decorated Box

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday to you all! Today I'm sharing a decorated laughing cow cheese box using beautiful flowers, ribbons, leaves, and embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I love how this turned out, as it was given to my neighbor for her birthday this past weekend. She loved it!

On the box I started by covering it with paint. Then I used Spellbinder dies to cut out the shapes of cardstock and design papers. I did distress them all with ink. Then I started with the Delicate Stitched Satin Pink ribbon, by making a bow, and hot gluing it to the box. Next I made another bow using the beautiful checkered ribbon, and then started layering the flowers. I did make some flowers using the seam binding.

Also used the canvas color band ribbon for around the box to cover the edges, there are two bands of ribbon, you can see them a tad bit in the photo right below.

Really Reasonable Ribbon:

Satin Pink Pearl Delicate Stitched Ribbon

Checkered Ribbon Green, Ivory and Pink

Seam Binding Vivid PInk and Rose Petal

Canvas Colored Band with Pink Ribbon

Roses White 20mm

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you have a lovely day!
Hugs to all,
Cheryl

For the Birds..by Cherry Nelson

Hello paper peeps!!! Cherry here at the RRR Blog. This post is literally for the birds or about the birds. Either way they are the perfect harkener to spring.

First a sweet tag with a dimensional house that I assembled and trimmed down to fit my tag.

I covered it in papers and gave it a white wash effect with a chalkboard pen and a bit of Gesso.

I used Baby Pink Stamens and both my projects used Baby Pink Seam Binding from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I have been enjoying the combination of pinks and yellows. Such a sweet color combo in my opinion.

My next project is an altered egg carton. This would be so sweet to fill with chocolates as an Easter gift for a friend, child, or hostess.

With March here...spring really should be in the air...but Oregon literally just seemed to get around to winter.

Hope you enjoy!!! Thanks for visiting the RRR blog today! Cherry

A Little Trinket Box

Hi all,

I have a Design Team project I created for Really Ribbon Ribbon today. A little trinket box I created using some great ribbons, beautiful wild orchid flowers and some fun little trinkets that are new at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store.

I do have an announcement before I get started, this is my second to last post I will be doing for the Really Reasonable Ribbon Design Team. I am really sad that I am leaving the team, they are such a great team to work with and Bonnie Garby is just amazing. I just want to say Thank You to Bonnie for having me on your team it has been a pleasure and I've had a great time using your beautiful ribbons and wild orchid flowers. Thank you Bonnie.

Here is my project -

This is my new Trinket Box. Yep, I made myself something for once. lol

I am so excited. I just love it. I used the beautiful Blue Fern paper collection - Blush.

I am putting my charms and little trinkets inside.

So I used some Wild Orchid Flowers for the top along with the beautiful

vivid pink seam binding and sheer box pleats white. I also used the New Flower Flatback

Acrylic Rhinestone embellishments. These are so beautiful! You gotta check these out.

Here is a great shot of two sides of my box showing the vivid pink seam binding and

the pink New Flower Flatback Acrylic Rhinestone embellishments I used.

I also used the Bow It All V3.0 to create my bow.

Here is a great shot of the sheer box pleats white ribbon I used around my edge of my lid.

I used some tiny strands of white pearls I had in my stash that I bought from JoAnn's a while back.

Here are a couple of photos showing the top of my box. I actually placed the seam binding bow down first and then laid my flowers around it, adding my tiny pearl

strands around the flowers. Then I added more flowers around the top.

I just love these little flowers they are just darling.

Just so you know, I have used this Sheer Box Pleated ribbon a few times and I just love it.

I have to say it's probably one of my favorite ribbons from the store as it's so versatile.

Supplies: Really Reasonable Ribbons -

vivid pink seam binding; sheer box pleats white.; New Flower Flatback

Acrylic Rhinestone embellishments, ; Wild Orchid Flowers - Gypsophila, Sweetheart Blossoms Mixed pink (used light pink), Cherry Blossoms Mixed Pinks/Whites

Thank you all so much for stopping by today I so appreciate it. I hope you are inspired to use some of these items. I just love using the ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon as they are just gorgeous, and the flowers are just beautiful. Check out the items I used plus other wonderful items at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store. Please leave me a comment as I love reading them.

Hugs and wishing you all a great crafty day,

Hot Chocolate in a Box

Hello, Ribbon Lovers! It's Kathy here with a super quick and easy Christmas project. I got all inspired by the gorgeous ribbons in the Traditional Christmas Mix in this month's Ribbon Club Assortment. They really dressed up this little Hot Chocolate Gift Box.

I built the box from Carta Bella's Warm and Cozy collection. The Christmas Traditions Plaid Ribbon made it very merry indeed! Adding a snip of white crochet lace along with a Natural Burlap string bow made for a very pretty ribbon cluster. I added a 2nd string bow and a rhinestone stick pin to the upper right corner. And here's some BIG NEWS! Bonnie has added embellishments to the shop and they are gorgeous! I used one of the flat back gems with a brooch/hat pin to make my pretty jewel!

I wrapped a hot chocolate pouch with a belly band, then tied on another snipped of that gorgeous plaid ribbon to dress it up. Quick as you can say Ho, Ho, Ho...this little hot chocolate in a box is ready to be stuffed in a stocking!

And speaking of hot chocolate...are you for or against topping it with whipped cream? Me? I'm for it!

Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,

Girl...........Wish Big!!!

Happy Saturday! Hope your weekend is full of sunshine wherever you are. I have a few projects made for Really Reasonable Ribbon. Goodies made with your favorite gal pal's birthday in mind! Pretty in pink and oh so feminine. Some fun cards and a sweet pillow box to fill with candies or a small keepsake/gift.

I used a combination of paper scraps, stickers, chipboard pieces, and more to create these sweeties. Along with Bay Leaf and Rose Petal seam bindings I also used cotton candy baker's twine. To really make these uber feminine (is that really a word)? .....I added some gorgeous blooms. Tea Roses in mixed pinks. If you are just starting out with adding flowers to your scrapbook/card making arsenal, I really think this is a good place to start. These roses are so pretty and really work well with many projects. Now if I could grow roses that looked this good in real life....I would be in heaven!!!

I also mixed a few cute wild orchid cosmos in white for variation. With all three projects I also added depth and dimension by using foam tabs from Tombow. I love these and go through them all the time.

I guarantee these will make someone feel oh so special! Hope you enjoy...thanks for visiting! hugs, Cherry

Altered Gift Basket and Tag for Baby Girl

Woooo Hoooo! It's the weekend!

Here in the United States we are celebrating Mother's Day tomorrow, so I thought it would be fun to share a little project I made for our neighbor who is expecting her second little girl anytime in the next week.

I started with an old fruit basket that hubby & I found on one of our adventures antiquing. A coat of acrylic paint, sponging with a few more, then several squirts of different shades of glimmer mist, and I was ready to decorate!

The edges were trimmed with a ruffled crepe paper border topped with Priscilla white crochet lace and wild rose grosgrain ribbon. the same wild rose grosgrain also formed the bow, when combined with pink burlap string. You can see that I also used the grosgrain and burlap string on the tag to continue the theme.

The flower cluster is formed with a pink chrysanthemum, pink aster daisies, and sweetheart blossoms, a mini sweetheart blossom decorates the tag.

The basket is filled with diaper bag sized essentials every new mom will need, and she loved it when I delivered it several days ago! :)

Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms out there! :)

Don't forget our current challenge going on, too!

If you would like more details about this project, feel free to stop by my blog, "Just Coffee Please..."

Hey, Chickie! Easter Treat Bag

Hello Ribbon Lovers! There is something special about fluffy little Easter chicks that makes us all go, "Awwwwww, cute." With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to work up an Easter Treat Bag using the glorious Welcome Spring Ribbon Club Assortment. These ribbons are the color of hyacinths and apple blossoms and daffodils, and baby green leaves and all spring colors we love so very much. Take a peeky:

Totally scrumptious, right? They made me think of the color palette in the Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments paper collection. So I pulled that out of my stash along with a middy bitty kraft bag and went to work.

The colors of this bag make me think of the lilac bushes that used to flourish in my home town when I was growing up in Vermont. I topped my little bag with a loopy bow tied with glorious purple satin ribbon from the Ribbon Club Assortment. It is the perfect color match for this collection, and you know how hard it can be to match purple! The tag inside the bag is topped with scrumptious purple/pink plaid ribbon, also from the Ribbon Club Assortment.

Have you seen the beautiful new English Roses Bonnie is carrying in the shop? I used a purple one as the base for my flower cluster then surrounded it with apple blossoms, sweetheart blossoms and spiral stamens. I tied a teeny tiny bow in the center of my itty bitty button using Ivory Burlap String, and then tucked in some stick pins and a little brass chick charm in for good luck.

I tucked a dressed up in its Easter Best Graphic 45 Staples tag inside the bag, along with an individually wrapped chocolate. This little Easter Treat Bag would be the perfect little surprise for a friend or co-worker, and it would mail nicely, too.

Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,

Peach Valentine Box

Welcome back. Time is going by fast and already it is my day to share some beautiful ribbons and Wild Orchid Craft flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon.com with you. I hope you are keeping watch each day visiting the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog to see what our fantastic designers have for you as well as participating in our challenges.

If you have been following my blog, I am making a variety of Valentine boxes filled with chocolate and jewelry for each of my grand children, daughters, and daughter-in-laws. This one is called my Peach Valentine Box.

I am loving the peach and lavender colors this year and this very gorgeous coral/peach ribbon is called the Light Coral Double-Face Satin ribbon and it comes in four widths. I used the 7/8" size but will have to make sure that I have all of the sizes of ribbon and flowers in my stock since spring is coming and coral/peach colors are gorgeous for this time of year. The beautiful and delicate lace ribbon is the 7/8" Betsy White Crochet Lace and behind the bow is the 1 1/2" white netting. All of the variety of Wild Orchid Craft flowers came from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Really Reasonable Ribbon also sells Scor-Tape and the Zutter Bow-It-All V2 bow maker. I used the 1.5" Scor-Tape to attach the bow onto the box. I use this Scor-Tape to attach all of my bows since I can arrange the ribbon on the bow and move it around until I get the arrangement I want. Afterwards, the ribbons on the bow stay in the exact place I want them. I used the Zutter Bow-it-All V2 to make this two ribbon bow.

Other supplies used were:
Bazzill Peach Card stock
Cheery Lynn Designs-Heart To Heart Frame (Made the entire heart shape box using this set)
Wee Stamp - Sylvia Zet - Maya (digital)
Sue Wilson Designs - Petite Vinery and Scandinavian Corner

Thank you for visiting and I would appreciate your comment below. Have a Happy Valentine's Day soon.

Red Valentine Heart Box

Today is my day on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog, to share with you one of my seven Valentine's chocolate or jewelry boxes that I made so far using the gorgeous ribbon, tape, flowers and the fantastic Zutter Bow-it-All V2.0 bow maker from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

If you are following my blog, I am using different images, colors and ribbons on each Valentine's box that I am making for each of my grandchildren. I hope to have the tutorial on how to make the heart shaped boxes using the largest of the Cheery Lynn Heart to Heart dies on my blog this coming week. For the Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge on January 22nd, another Valentine's box with a variety of different Wild Craft flowers, ribbons and images will be posted on my blog.

I love the red and white plaid ribbons with the 1 1/2" red netting behind the bow. I always attach my bows with Scor-Tape. Really Reasonable Ribbon offers a variety of Scor-Tape sizes. I used 1 1/2" Scor-Tape for attaching most of my bows on cards and projects. My bows are always formed using the Zutter Bow It All V2 bow maker. The cute little hearts are from Impression Obsession-Heart Stem die, the gorgeous butterfly are from the Cheery Lynn Butterfly Set #2 and the green leaf stem is the Sue Wilson-Delicate Fronds. The center die is the Cheery Lynn Heart To Heart set and the top and bottom of the heart shape box were cut from the largest of this die set. I made this hat pin.

The side of this Valentine's heart box is the beautiful 5/8" Elastic Double Ruffle Red Plaid ribbon and behind it is the Sue Wilson- Scandinavian Border.

I am using some of these boxes for jewelry and the others for chocolates for Valentine's Day.

Keep visiting the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog to continue to see the wonderful projects and cards that Really Reasonable Ribbon Designers have for you. Can't wait to see what you have created!

Holiday Hot Cocoa Gift Set

Hello Ribbon Fans! This will be my last post with all of you before the holidays, so I would like to take a moment to say Merry Christmas to each of you! May you be blessed in abundance with love as we celebrate the birth of our Saviour!

This year, thanks to Really Reasonable Ribbon, I made many of my Christmas gifts. Today I'm sharing a Hot Cocoa set we have given to a very special family. Please forgive me that I didn't get photos of the individual bottles, as they were also decorated. I was in a hurry to get the photos taken, since this gift was immediately being passed along. :)

I started with a Starbucks Frappuccino drink pack that was spray pained white. Papers and embellishments were added to decorate, and of course pretty ribbons from the RRR store! :)

The Frappuccino bottles hold marshmallows, chocolate chips, and mints - everything you need to take your hot cocoa from yum to YUMMERS! :)

Ribbons, flowers, and paper also decorate the large canister that holds the hot cocoa mix itself.

Products used:
3/8" Plaid Christmas red/green ribbon
Delicate Stitched Satin Forest Green
1 1/2" Red Gingham Ribbon
Red Burlap String
Catherine White Crochet Lace
Shimmer Satin Red Ribbon
WOC Gardenias
WOC Open Roses Red

Thank you for stopping by! Merry Christmas to you and those you hold dear!
Jennifer :)

Holly Wreaths and LOTV

Hi and welcome to the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog today! It's been a fun month sharing our Christmas ribbon collection with all of you and today I have another idea using some of the pre-printed cards that you can get from one of my favorite companies in the UK called Lily of the Valley. You can get a huge stack of these so they are perfect to get lots of ribbon and card stock and make up some fun things to give away for Christmas.

For this set I used red satin ribbon on the box to make it look like it was wrapped and just a bit of tiny checked ribbon for the tree. Adding glitter and ribbons gives you more depth and texture to otherwise flat projects so it's a really fun and easy thing to do with your projects.

Here is a closeup of my box. The papers are from Bo Bunny and for the top I cut/embossed the printed card with a Spellbinders die and then added a matted base in red to make it pop more.

It's always nice to send a matching card to wow them so I did this as a folded shaped card and then added some glitter on the top.

For this card I used a new Holly Die set from Spellbinders for the base and then cut the printed cards with another rectangle die to emboss the outside edges. It's super easy to do and gives it such a nice finished look. And then to finish it I glued a ribbon bow over the top and added some glitter.

Here is a closer look at the top of the card for you to see. I think I will have to make a few more of these to send out this year.

And that's all for my share but be sure and check back again for more fun ideas this month from all of us and don't forget the Christmas Challenge to get a chance to win this month's ribbon set!! Have a wonderful and crafty day.....
