Quick 'N Easy Fall Banner

Hi there,

I wanted to share with you all a Fall Banner I created for a swap I participated in on a Facebook Group. 

For this Banner I used everything in my stash, which was awesome. I love when I have everything I need at my fingertips and don't have to go out to the craft store. lol  

For my banner inspiration I went to Pinterest, that's my number one place to get inspiration. I had seen this lady who did an Acorn Banner that was sewn together with fabric, it was so pretty. Of course she had fabric leaves and all. So to get the shape of the acorn I did a search in Pinterest for Acorn Patterns. I drew it on copy paper, then cut it out and traced onto chipboard. From there I did several copies of them on chipboard and my pattern papers. 

I also did a YouTube video if you are interested in viewing. This fun banner not just for Fall but you could create on for Christmas.

I created a window card, I cut a square in the middle backed it with leaf paper, added the cute little truck from the sticker sheet and added flowers, a bow and a little banner with "Happy Thanksgiving" from the stamp  "...today I am Thankful" stamp set found at https://www.unitystampco.com/

Really Reasonable Ribbon we are kicking of this months Blog Hop and showing you the this months August Ribbon Club Assortment - Colors of Autumn. This collection is a great ribbon assortment for all your Fall Projects you got in mind - cards, banners, scrapbook pages, mini albums, home decor or many other projects. You don't want to pass this ribbon assortment up!! 

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 ; 

5/8"Square in Square print Satin Ribbon Tangerine; Baker's Twine Green Solid

It's Turkey Time

Hi all, 

Hey, Hope you are all getting excited over the new Ribbon Club Assortment  - Colors of Autumn Assortment it's super gorgeous!! The colors are so vivid and just great for all your fall projects. :D 

Well I want to share with you all a cute little turkey candle holder I created using these beautiful ribbons. I created one of these about 2 years ago or so but it was different. I used the same concept for the front of the turkey but used the rosette technique with the ribbons instead of using feather. I think he turned out cute. 

So here is my little Turkey guy, hope you all like it. I know it's a bit different than the usual but I thought it would be a nice change. :D 

So to create the back of the turkey I cut out 3 1/2 , 3, 2 1/2 inch circles. 

I used score tape around the circles and then got my ribbons and

started the rosette only going around half way. I then used 3D adhesive 

to stack the rosettes on top of one another, in a layered look. I used my little 

scallop punch for the front of the turkey's body. Hot glued him to the small

mason jar. I used googly eyes and cut a beak and did a snood. 

I wanted to show y'all another close up of the turkey and the ribbons.

Here are the Ribbons I used 5/8"Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon Turftan Brown; 

5/8"Square in Square Print Satin Ribbon Kiwi Green; 5/8"Square in Square print Satin Ribbon Tangerine to create the rosettes for the Turkey's feathers. I also used the cute 

3/8"Checkerboard Satin Ribbon Tangerine for his bow tie. 

 Here shows a close up side view of the ribbons layered. 

I used the 1.5 inch Brown Netting to decorate the mason jar

which I wrapped around the  mason jar and then wrapped the 

3/8"Autumn Bold Diagonal Stripe Grosgrain ribbon wrapped that on top. 

I used hot glue to adhere both ribbons to the mason jar. 

Supplies:

Really Reasonable Ribbons - 5/8"Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon Turftan Brown; 

5/8"Square in Square Print Satin Ribbon Kiwi Green; 5/8"Square in Square print Satin Ribbon Tangerine; 3/8"Checkerboard Satin Ribbon Tangerine; 1.5 inch Brown Netting ; 3/8"Autumn Bold Diagonal Stripe Grosgrain ribbon

Paper - brown paper, craft paper, yellow paper

Accessories - Glossy Accents, googly eyes, mason jar, small scallop punch (fiskars),
