Clean and Simple Embossed Christmas Card

Hi there crafty peeps!  It's me Amber.  I am back today to share with you a clean and simple embossed card I created with some beautiful ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon.


I cut a piece of green cardstock slightly smaller than an A2 card (4 x 5 1/4).  I then stamped several pine branches to create two pine boughs coming from each side of the card.  I then stamped the dotted line vertically to create a string to hold two cute snowflakes.  Finally I stamped the sentiment.  All of the images and sentiment is from the Deck the Halls stamp set from Lawn Fawn.  I stamped all of this in Versamark ink and then heat embossed it all with Ranger Fine Detail gold embossing powder.  I matted this onto gold glitter cardstock.  I then created a bow with my Bow It All tool and gold ribbon from the Christmas Sheer w/ Satin Center Ribbon Assortment.  I wrapped it vertically around the edge of the cardstock and then matted it all to a white card base.  I finished it off with some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

I hope you like my clean and simple card.  This card could easily be mass produced for as many Christmas cards as you need to send out.  The color of the ribbon could be changed to make each card unique.  Really Reasonable Ribbon offers beautiful ribbons of all kinds and colors that are perfect for all your Christmas project needs.  I hope you have a great day and create something fun for the upcoming holidays!

3D Challenge at the Craft Room

Hi there!  It is time for a new challenge at the Craft Room Challenge Blog.  We are challenging you to make something 3D for this challenge.  I created a cute Christmas gift bag as inspiration.


I used my Treat Bad die from Lawn Fawn and some papers from my hoarded stash of Graphic 45 "Twelve Days of Christmas" papers.  I created the bag, and then die cut a cute tag from the collection.  I then popped that up with foam tape on the front of the bag.  I then decorated with some wonderful ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I hope you enjoy, and hop over to join in the challenge going on now!

Winter Holiday with Ribbon Challenge

Hi there fellow crafters!  I am sharing some inspiration inspiration today for the challenge starting today on the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog.

 
I used a new stamp set from Stampin Up called White Christmas.  I colored it with my Copic markers and mounted it to a card with patterned paper from Doodlebug. All of the ribbon is from the Really Reasonable Ribbon store.  I started with 1.5" White Netting as a base.  I wrapped it and taped it on the back of my matting.  I then wrapped grape Delicate Stitched Satin ribbon around the card on top of the netting.  I then wrapped Silver Metallic Grosgrain Ribbon around.  Finally, I created a a double layer bow with both the purple and silver ribbon.  I added some sequins for some sparkle.

Head on over to the blog to view the rest of the inspiration created by the DT and to link your project up for a chance to win the challenge.

One Last Halloween Card

Hi there crafty peeps! This is my first post as part of the Really Reasonable Ribbon DT and I am so EXCITED! I know most of you are very much "over" Halloween at this point, but Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, so it brings a small tear to my eye every year when it is over. I just had to make one more card with a new stamp I picked up and some of the wonderful ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I water colored the stamp from Northwoods with my Tombow markers.  I matted it with black glitter cardstock and then orange cardstock embossed with fall leaves.  There is a little glitter on the pumpkins for some added sparkle.


 I used several ribbon layers for the bow on my card.  I used 1.5" Black Netting for the base layer.  I wrapped this around to the back and taped the ends in place.  I then layered Black Plaid Ribbon in the 5/8" size on top.  This was wrapped and taped in place as well.  I then created a double layer bow with the same ribbon and my Bow it All tool.  I hot glued this on top of the ribbon border.  I finished it with a black button tied with a bow of Orange Burlap string.

Here is a side view of the bow.  Aren't the layers fantastic?!


The  ribbons I used are so versatile.  They can be used for any card or or project, not just for a Halloween themed card.  They really add the perfect touch of elegance, and the Bow it All tool makes "show-stopper bows" every time I use it.  I hope you enjoyed my first project.  Have a wonderful crafty day!
