Happy Birthday Card in Purple

Hi friends. Today I have a birthday card to share that I made using some of the gorgeous ribbons from the July Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The July ‘Perfectly Purple’ Ribbon Club Assortment contains 9 styles and a total of 18 yards of ribbon. Each monthly assortment is a color or holiday themed mix of ribbon. What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try new ribbon styles.

Today I grabbed a Spellbinders die that has been sitting idle on my shelf for years. Do you have some of these crafty things too?? You just had to have it and then never use it. It’s a shame. So, dust off those crafty goodies and USE them. 🙂

This card came together pretty quickly as I let the background die do most of the work. The purple background paper (and the green accents paper as well) was created using Distress Inks. I added some pearls to the butterfly to create a body. Then I stamped my sentiment and mounted it on a tag die. I layered two of the ribbons from the July Ribbon Club Assortment to use for the sentiment tag. I adhered the ribbon to the back of the main panel and then backed that with white mulberry paper.

I created a pretty bi-color bow using my Bow-it-All V3.0 using two of the 5/8″ ribbon styles from the assortment. I topped off the bow with a Heart Shaped Flat Back Pearl Bead. Once completed, I added it to my card below my sentiment.

Thinking of You Card

Today I have a very purple-y ‘Thinking of You’ card to share featuring some gorgeous dies from Cheery Lynn Designs and pretty ribbon and embellishments from Really Reasonable Ribbon. What a great combination!

I just LOVE purple, don’t you? Add a little green for contrast and oh-la-la.

If you LOVE purple, the July ‘Perfectly Purple’ Ribbon Club Assortment is going to knock your socks off!!

The July assortment has 9 styles and a total of 18 yards of ribbon. Each monthly assortment is a color or holiday themed assortment of ribbon. What a fun way to build your ribbon stash and try new ribbon styles.

My card measures 5-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and I built a few layers including a pretty layer at the bottom using white mulberry paper. I topped that with purple and green and then a piece of Distress Ink paper I made in purple with a little green and layered the Felicity Doily on that.

I then added a strip of ribbon across the center and topped that with my sentiment circle.For the bottom half of my card, I created 3 gorgeous flowers using the Black Eyed Susan Strip. I cut the flowers out of the same Distress Ink paper and used a plum color for the centers. I created a bed of greenery using the foliage dies from the Floral Bouquet kit and added the flowers on top of that.

This flower looks so complicated, but is in fact one of the easier flowers to make. I will include my video tutorial below.
