Too Cute To Spook Headband

Hello all,

I have something to share with you all today. I tried something new with ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbons. I have been wanting make a headband for many many months but just a little nervous to do it. You know Bonnie, who is the owner of Reasonable Ribbons, she makes headbands all the time and they are just beautiful. Well I followed one of her videos and she makes so easy to create one of these fun headbands I had so much fun. Of course I need a little more practice but I thought for my first one it was pretty good. I made this headband for my granddaughter Reminie, she's been talking none stop about Halloween, being 2 years old this will be a fun time. I think she'll like the headband. :D

I used the wonderful Too Cute To Spook Mix it's the September Club of the Month Assortment.
So super fun!!

 For the hairband I used three ribbons 

5/8"Plaid Ribbon Apple Green, 3/8"tangerine double-faced satin , 

3/8"Too Cute to Spook Print on Black Grosgrain Ribbon  

 Here is a front view of the headband. 

I just thought these ribbons looked good together 

and I really like the little black ribbon 

To cute to spook print is just the cutest Halloween ribbon ever!! :D 

 Here is the back of the headband it looks so cool. 

I am really please with how it turned out. 

A lovely sideview, you can see the little green spooky guy, 

there is a skull and the word Boo. 

 A topview of the headband showing the bow I created using the Bow It All V3.0 found at

I am here sharing a Christmas card I created using some wonderful ribbons from Reasonable Ribbon Store.

For this Christmas card I used the some beautiful Swiss Dots Grosgrain ribbons 

in Red and Swiss Dots Grosgrain ribbon in Green, 

along with the 1.5 inch Jute Ribbon Red. 

The paper stack is DCWV Home for the Holidays Collection.  

Here is a close up of the ribbons I used and the beautiful 

Wild Orchid Cherry Blossoms Mixed Red & White pack.

really pretty against the mixture of reds,white and green in the paper.

Bloom with Happiness

Hi Everyone!!

Yeah!! Today we are starting a new challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbons our theme "Autumn Colors"  Which I am so looking forward to Fall and all the pretty colors that come along with it, especially since the summer was soooo hot.

So if you joined the Blog Hop in August you know we introduced the Autumn Colors Ribbon Club Assortment. It is perfect for this challenge for sure.

Here is my card for the new challenge:

So for this card I used the Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower Collection. 

Which I really think is just the perfect ribbon assortment for this paper collection 

and its the perfect collection for the Autumn Colors Challenge. 

 Isn't this little bow cute?? 

I used the 3/8"RRR Select Swiss Dots Grosgrain Ribbon Turftan Brown, which is accented with the beautiful butterfly. 

For the strip that goes down the card I used 5/8"Square in Square print Satin Ribbon Tangerine.

 

For this part of the card I fussy cut the sunflowers and layered them on top 

of the sunflower image on the cut apart. I placed a little ticket on the side. 

For the background I used the 3 of the ribbons from the Autumn Color Assortment. 

I really think it adds a nice look to the background. First one is 3/8"Diamond Satin Kiwi Green, 

5/8"Square in Square Print Satin Ribbon Kiwi Green, and 3/8"Checkerboard Satin Ribbon Tangerine.

Supplies:

Christmas Joy

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Hope you all are doing well. Today I am up over at Really Reasonable Ribbon. I decided to share a Christmas card I created with some of my favorite ribbons. I know we still have a few more months for Christmas but I thought this would be a great time to start on my Christmas cards. 

For this card I used that beautiful red organza sheer red ribbon. 

I know you probably recognize this ribbon from past projects, 

but I just couldn't help using it again. I think I need to order some more. lol 

I only have a little strand left. I also used the White Satin with Stitched Center

which a beautiful ribbon and comes in many different colors.  

 Here is a close up photo of the ribbon. 

I think the reason I really like this ribbon is the 

beautiful color of red and being that its made of organza

it just has a lovely shimmer affect when the light hits it just right.

Here is my project using this awesome ribbon assortment

I created a little pumpkin decoration for my dining room table. 

 I cut burlap into about 2.5 x 2.5 squares, but I didn't really measure

I just cut to the size I thought would best fit around the 

small pumpkin. I used TH walnut distress inks on the edges of the 

squares and hot glued them onto the small pumpkin.

 I then took the 3/8"Diamond Satin Kiwi Green and 3/8"Checkerboard Satin Ribbon Tangerine  

hot glued them onto the sides of the pumpkin. I then took Wild Orchid flowers  

Open Roses Orange glued those onto the green ribbons. 
I created a bow with the 5/8"Square in Square print Satin Ribbon Tangerine  

using the Bow It All 3.0  then adhered my bow onto the pumpkin.  

For the stem of the pumpkin I used Baker's Twine Green Solid and wrapped 

it around the stem twice. I then took some more of those beautiful flowers 

from the store Wild Orchid Craft Sweetheart Blossoms Mixed Brown & White and

Mixed Christmas/Seasonal Tuscany Roses 30mm using the brown & tan and I 
applied stickles - Champagne. 

Here is a close up of how I did a cascading flower effect 

down the pumpkin using Wild Orchid flowers from the 

Really Reasonable Ribbon Store. 

Supplies: Really Reasonable Ribbon - August Ribbon Club Assortment - Colors of Autumn; 3/8"Diamond Satin Kiwi Green and 3/8"Checkerboard Satin Ribbon Tangerine ;

Good Morning all

So glad to have you join me again. :D  FIRST, I would like to say a big Thank you to my new followers. Thank you for joining me on my crafting journey and I hope you find much inspiration on my past posts and future ones to come.

Today I am sharing a Tag I made for the new challenge at One Stitch At A Time - Ch. 259 Anything Goes with Distressing. 
Here is the Tag I made using an image from Stitchybear Digi store LilyFairy by DigiBlessings.
For this Tag I started with my image from Stitchybear digi stamps colored with my colored pencils. I used TH manila tag and added 3 colors of distress paint - tumble grass, weathered wood and faded jeans. I used TH distress ink - mowed lawn around the words I cut out. I used Stampendous - Frantage around the tag to give some detail and gold prills from Reneabouquet. Used twill ribbon and organza ribbon from my stash. 

 Here is close up photo of the image. I used pop dots to raise the leaf of the

lily so it looks as if the leaf is hanging over the mouse & fairy. 

I fussy cut the flowers and placed around the bottom of my tag. 

I added stickles on the little lily flowers. 

Stitchybear is our Sponsor

Julie Nutting Doll In Lace, Glitter and Bling

Good Day All,

Posting another creation I made for Crafty Card Gallery to go with our theme - female birthday.

I know it's a bit late but before I posted had to make sure that my swap partner received it as I had joined Scraps Of Darkness and Scrap Of Elegance facebook page Doll Tag Swap.
I always wondered why everyone loved using these Dolls and so I thought, "I gotta see what all the excitement is about them".  And I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed coloring and embellishing this doll. There is so much versatility in using these Doll Stamps. This one was an image that was previously given to me by a friend but I did go out and purchase one from Hobby Lobby. (heheheheeee)

So here is my doll tag and supplies -
Stamp - Julie Nutting Doll stamp (I don't know the name)
Paper - Authentique - Classique Pretty and Tags
Ink - TH Distress - black soot, spun sugar; colored with Copics
Accessories - ribbon - pink; seam binding - dyed using black soot; Lace used on Doll - from Country Craft Creations (I won as a prize); Prima Marketing - Gold flower center, Say it in Crystals;
Stickles - ice glade; Stampendous - Frantage embossing powder used Shabby pink (for the background)
**Stash - flowers

***Close Up - you can see the Frantage spread around the 

tag and image. 

***To get her dress to look poofy I folded up a piece of paper 

like a skirt gluing that down first and then added the Lace

on top of the paper.
