What?? Two posts in one day??? Unheard of! Well, I’ve gotta craft when I can, so here you go.
I’ve been itching to try out my new Floral Background stamp from The Rubber Cafe. I really love it. Be sure to stop back on 4-13 for our Really Reasonable Ribbon Monthly Blog Hop to see another project with this stamp. We will be teaming up with The Rubber Cafe in April and we’ll have lots of great projects to show you!
Hmmm, I’ve been doing quite a bit of monochromatic work lately. I’ll have to try to change that up a bit soon! ๐
I started out with a great sketch for this card and it kind of kept growing. I like the way it turned out though.
Challenges for this card:
Mojo Monday – sketch #234
Stampin’ for the Weekend – challenge 6 Anything Goes
Do You Stack Up – DSYU #65 – Sew It

It’s time for another fun challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon’s Ramblings today. The theme is Buttons & Bows. I have two samples this time around.
First I made a card with one of my favorite color combo’s – black and white. I just love the great contrast when you go with a basic black and white color theme.
Other Challenges for this card:
The Deconstructed Sketch – sketch #45
Stampin’ for the Weekend – Challenge 6 Anything goes
Supplies used:
Ribbon/Baker’s Twine: Really Reasonable Ribbon
Stamp: Inkadinkado
Ink: Memento
Paper: cardstock from my stash and design paper from Recollections
Other: black pearls, Bow Easy Tool, Spellbinder nestabilities, button, cuttlebug embossing folder
Next I have a quick little set of bows on snap clips.
These were very quick and easy to make up. I covered my 50mm snap clips with 1/4″ white grosgrain and I made the bows with my Bow Easy Tool using 7/8″ pink gingham. Once the bows were done, I trimmed off the tail so it would not show. I threaded a flower shaped brad though my botton holes and secured the brad to the button. Then I glued the button to the bow and attached the bow to the snap clip. This is a good project to use some of your shorter lengths of ribbon.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you’re inspired to join in our challenge this time around. You have until 4-12 to link up your Buttons & Bows project.
