Welcome to the RRR May Blog Hop.
If you arrived here from Amber’s blog, you are on the right track. If not, why not head back to the RRR Blog and start from the beginning so you don’t miss any of the terrific projects.
This month the Really Reasonable Ribbon Monthly Ribbon Club Assortment is a fun Patriotic themed mix. I just love mixing red, white and blue together in a project! If you are not a member, you are missing out!! JOIN TODAY and begin your subscription with this gorgeous assortment.
While a couple of the ribbons are Patriotic prints, the rest can be mixed and match for other projects. My birthday card is red, white and blue, and it’s great for a summer birthday. I always think of red, white and blue as fun summer colors as well as Patriotic.
I used the Poppy Red Diamond Satin to create my beautiful double-loop bow on my Bow-it-All V2.0. It’s so easy to make a perfect bow with this tool!! To view all my Bow-it-All Video Tutorials, please visit my YouTube Channel. I also have a layers strip of ribbon running across the middle under the sentiment.
The beautiful mulberry flowers below the sentiment are Open Roses from Wild Orchid Crafts that are now available at Really Reasonable Ribbon along with loads of other gorgeous options. So fun to work with!
My card was entered in the following challenges:
Simply Create Too #85 – Favorite Color Combo – this month mine is red, white and blue!
My headband of the month is a Woven Ribbon Headband with a Twist. This is a more complex headband, so I suggest you master the Basic Woven Headband first, and then move on to this one. You can see Video Tutorials for all my Woven Ribbon Headbands on my YouTube channel HERE.
This one really has that ‘WOW’ factory with the fun little fins of twisted ribbon. It’s a favorite!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Your next stop is Karen’s fabulous blog.
I would love for you to leave a comment before you go.

I always LOVE your art work, Bonnie. I was wondering if you've ever posted a tutorial on how to do the headbands. I really need to learn that technique. I would LOVE to know…..if you care to share. Thanks SO MUCH for playing along in our challenge this week. Your cards are always a welcome addition, and I'm SO grateful to have you share. Have a blessed week!

There you go again making one of those GORGEOUS headbands…fabulous!! Love the card, too…especially for a July birthday…very clever!!
I absolutely love your cards with sentiment focals! Everything just harmonizes perfectly, Bonnie. And your ribbons are spectacular!
Hi Bonnie, I just love your card! It is so beautiful! What is the name of the die cut and who is it by that you used? The ribbon and roses are wonderful. I love the red white and blue theme this month. Your head band is gorgeous! Great to have for the 4th of July and other holidays. Is there a way to get a second set of the ribbons when you like a certain set? I wanted this one but I did not see it in time to contact you. Not all sets would I want 2 of. Thank you.
