Gauze Mason Jar With Ribbons

Thanks for stopping by today!  Today was my turn to share something fun with you all over on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog and I thought that since tomorrow is finally Halloween, I'd this one final opportunity (for this year, anyway) to share one last Halloween treat using lots of sweet Really Reasonable Ribbon trims.

I covered a $0.99 mason jar with gauze by wrapping it around the jar several times.  I added a Spellbinders spider web die-cut, a piece of JilliBean Soup ephemera, and a Jolee's ghost.  I painted the top of the jar black, put a chalkboard jar topper on it, and wrapped a length of Orange & Black Plaid Ribbon With Black Stitching, and then decorated the top/side with LOTS of great Really Reasonable Ribbon favorites.

This big beautiful bow includes a knot tied from the gauze, as well as a length of Orange Seam Binding, Black Seam Binding,and Ivory Burlap String.  I also added a cute and creepy little snake, and a black button that's also tied with Ivory Burlap String.  I filled the jar with black and orange Jelly Bellys.

There's lots of great inspiration over on the RRR Blog most every day with direct links to all the trims used on each project to help make your shopping easy.  We also have a FUN CHALLENGE taking place now, and there's always something new popping up in the Really Reasonable Ribbon Shop, so be sure to visit and find out what's new.   Have a happy and creative week, and thanks again for your visit today.

Peace Hope Love

Welcome back by my blog, everyone.  And thanks so much for stopping by again.  It's always such a blessing to have you visit, and I'm always beyond grateful to have you leave me a comment.  I had the opportunity to create another card "just for fun" today, and I really wanted to be able to play along in a couple of challenges I saw out there in blog land.

I used some silver, glittery specialty papers by Recollections (from Michael's) for my background (silver dots), for the fancy background die and inner oval (music paper), and for one of the rolled roses (polka dot).  I used spray adhesive to attach the fancy background die to the polka dot paper.

Then, I added the inner oval which has vellum in its center.  I used a Kaiser Crafts stamp for my sentiment, embossed it with silver embossing powder, and centered it as the focal point.  I used my My Favorite Things/Die-Namics Heirloom Rolled Rose Die-Cut to cut the flowers from black felt and specialty paper.  I placed some Green & White 2-Toned Mulberry Leaves, pearl gems and sequins in the flowers and on the card.

I just loved the sketch at My Favorite Things this week, and really wanted to create a card to enter in their challenge.  Then, I found a couple other challenges where I knew I could also link my card.....and there you go.  I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this one.  I don't normally have good luck when I heat emboss, but this image embossed so nicely.  Of course, I feel that the card is so much prettier in real life.  I wish I was one of those gals whose pictures of her cards actually represent how pretty they are; but unfortunately, my photography skills aren't anywhere near expert status.

4 Crafty Chicks - Coloring on Kraft

Hello again, everyone, and thanks for stopping by!  I'm back again today to share another fun card for the new Challenge #322 at 4 Crafty Chicks where I'm Guest Designing this month.  This is my fourth and final card to complete my month with them.  I've enjoyed their friendship and inspiration, and I know that they would love to have you stop by and play along with them.  This week's theme is Coloring on Kraft.  You can be really creative with this, and use any means you choose to add some color to kraft paper.

I used a kraft card and then layered another piece of kraft paper on top that I backed with a patterned paper.  I chalked the edges of the kraft papers to help it stand out, and then I stamped a dotted background in Tim Holtz Green Paint Distress Ink to create a border on the left-hand side.  I tied some Natural Burlap String next to it, giving this border even more definition.

To add even more color to the kraft paper, I stamped some cute little pumpkins onto the kraft paper, and layered them using 3-D tape to adhere a die-cut version of the same pumpkin stamps.  I did my Coloring on Kraft using three Tim Holtz Distress Inks including the Green Paint, Barn Door Red, and Spiced Marmalade.  I also stamped a sentiment on the side (directly over the polka dot background stamp) using Black Soot Distress Ink.

We would absolutely love to have you all stop by the 4 Crafty Chicks Blog to see all the great inspiration from the other chicks in the Hen House.  Then you can link up your creations and play along with us.  We look forward to seeing your creativity at work as you show us how you color on kraft paper.

Nichole Heady/Papertrey Ink Blog - Make It Monday #265 - Layered Dry Brushing - I shared this close-up photo to help show my dry brushing.  It's subtle, but you can see it better in the second/close-up picture.  I used lots of Papertrey Ink stamps on this card.

Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says "Anything Goes", so come play along!

Simon Says Stamp - Monday Challenge - Simon Says "Autumn"

Mod Squad Challenge Blog - Halloween Fun - For me, Halloween is all about PUMPKINS.  I decorate my whole house with pumpkins, and make pumpkin cookies to hand out to the kids from our neighborhood who know us (strangers probably won't let their kids eat them) they count on it every year.  Ya gotta have pumpkins on Halloween!

Joy Clair October Challenge - Color/Photo Inspiration - I used the Burnt Orange, Cranberry, and Black on this Autumn inspired card.

Thanks for visiting, and have a great week!

It's Word Art Wednesday

Hello, my dear blog friends!  I hope you're all enjoying these beautiful Autumn days, and cool, crisp Autumn evenings.  Just the other day, I heard someone say just how many days until Christmas and I couldn't believe it was so close.  Where have the days gone this year?  They seem to slip by quicker and quicker with each passing year.  For our family, this has been a busy, blessed and beautiful year filled with so many happy family memories.  And together, we look forward to what lies ahead as we face it together.

This is the card I made for this week's challenge at Word Art Wednesday.  These beautiful digital stamps or word art/scripture files are available on the Word Art Wednesday Challenge Blog for free, and there's a gorgeous new file shared with each new challenge.  You're never required to use the file in order to play along with us, but it's there if you would like to save it, use it, or whatever.  Our challenges are always Anything Goes/Family Friendly, and we believe we have the BEST sponsors out there!  Seriously, we are blessed to have SO MANY top-name, amazing sponsors.   The sponsor for our current challenge is Simon Says Stamp, and they're offering one lucky person a $25 Gift Certificate.  We really hope you will stop by and play along with us.

I used October Afternoon patterned papers and stickers, miniature pearl embellishments, and a gorgeous new die-cut from Sue Wilson called Finishing Touches - Olive Branch.  You can find this and lots of other great die-cuts at CropStop.  They also have a fun challenge where you can share your projects.  Why not play along at both CropStop Challenge and Word Art Wednesday Challenge this week? 

Here are the challenges where I have the blessing of sharing my cards today.  I hope you will come play along, too!

Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says "Anything Goes"

Dies R Us Challenge Blog - Challenge #59 - Fall/Autumn - I loved using this sweet die-cut by Sue Wilson from her Finishing Touches Collection.  It gave the perfect Autumn touches to my card.

Thanks for stopping by.  I am SO incredibly grateful to have you visit my blog to say hello, and I look forward to visiting your blog this week as well.  Have a great one!

In The Pink

When I saw this week's challenge over at Simon Says Stamp, I knew I would have to create something pink.  I found this card on my work table unfinished, so I simply decided to add a few more embellishments and finish it.  The patterned papers, ephemera, and paper strips are from Crate Paper, the Seam Binding, Baker's Twine, Heart Pearl Embellishment, and Sweetheart Blossom are all from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks for visiting me today, and have a wonderful weekend.

Let There Be Peace

Hey there, everyone!  Today I'm sharing a fun card I created for Really Reasonable Ribbon using a fun new technique I saw on Pinterest.  This is a great way to use up little scraps of ribbon you might have laying around and don't know what to do with.  I used lots of great ribbons from the Ribbon Club Assortment and several other Really Reasonable Ribbon favorites.

I used two ornament die-cuts from Frantic Stamper to cut the shapes from a piece of patterned paper and cut the ornament tops from shiny gold paper.  I tied some gorgeous Gold Metallic String on their tops.  Then, I used a piece of white card stock and strategically placed strips of ribbons and lace to fill in the die-cut holes using pieces of Scor-Tape to keep them in place.  You could try this technique with any die-cut shape (leaves, hearts, etc.), and Really Reasonable Ribbon has all the perfect trims to help you achieve this look for any season or occasion.

I used pieces of all these sweet Really Reasonable Ribbon trims to achieve this look: Lipstick Red Seam Binding, RRR Select Swiss Dots Grosgrain Green Apple, Moss Green Micro Gingham, Burlap Center Stitch Green, Canvas Color Band With Stitched Edge in Red, Juliet Natural Crochet Lace, 1/4" Chevron Striped Twill Celery, Red and White Plaid Houndstooth Ribbon, Dusty Olive Seam Binding, and 3/4" Red Striped Twill Chevron.  I also added a "peace" die-cut, and tied a long length of Solid Red Baker's Twine around the top of my card.

The Gold Metallic String is really a must-have for Christmas cards and projects.  You will absolutely LOVE it; just as much as you'll love ALL of Really Reasonable Ribbon's amazing ribbons, trims, twines, and laces.  Thanks for stopping by today, and have a great week.  Be sure to stop by Really Reasonable Ribbon to play along in their FUN CHALLENGE, and to check out all their fabulous ribbons and trims and fun new Embellishments, too!

Happy crafting,
Karen

4 Crafty Chicks - Strength Within

Hey, peeps!  Today I'm sharing another card for my Guest Design spot at 4 Crafty Chicks, and the challenge theme for this week #321 is Strength Within.  When I received the themes for each challenge, I had some immediate ideas running through my mind for each one.  For this challenge, I knew right away that I would be sharing a card that reflects where I find my inner strength.  My strength comes from the Lord Jesus Christ, and I wanted to create a card that would help me relay that message.  When it's just me, I am weak.  But with God in my life, I have the strength to get through any trials that may come my way.   I used a Verve stamp to help me share this message.

My card was created using some sweet Crate Paper patterned papers and journalling card from their Pretty Party line.  I stamped this Verve sentiment onto the journalling card in Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Black Soot.  Then, I added some Sweetheart Blossoms, Wild Orchid Crafts Green Mulberry Leaves, green and pink Baker's Twine, and a yellow leaf stick pin.

I know that the other chicks over at 4 Crafty Chicks would love to have you stop by and share your cards that reflect where you find your Strength Within...whatever that may be.  It's always fun to play along in challenges, and this one will offer you lots of great inspiration and loads of fun.

I'm linking my card here....check it out:

Verve Stamps:  October Diva Inspirations Blog Hop and Challenge - I love these colors, and you can see each of them in my card.  I also used a Verve sentiment stamp.

Joy Clair - October Challenge - Color Inspiration Photo - I really like this color palette, so for this card, I incorporated the deep burgundy, powder blue, deep orange, and of course the black (accents and stamped sentiment).  I was also inspired by all the leaves and foliage in this inspiration photo.

Have a great day!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello, friends!  Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  I'm sharing a card I made last night using a combination of stamp sets, some Moss Green Gingham Ribbon, Antique Gold Burlap String, several shades of Tim Holtz Distress Inks, and Crate Paper patterned papers as well as rust card stock and kraft card stock.  The cute pumpkins, coordinating die-cuts, and sentiment are all from Papertrey Ink.

It's so much fun combining different stamps together to achieve a fun card, and I like how these stamps came together to help me create this sweet Thanksgiving card.  If only I could create a couple dozen more Thanksgiving cards now.....I'd be set.  I haven't had a lot of motivation, or time, lately to create cards just for fun, so I really enjoyed making this one. I'm linking it up in these challenges:

Paper Sweeties Challenge - October Photo Inspiration - I used Abigail as the focal point, dressed her in her Back To School outfit, and added a Sugar Sprinkle Sequin.

Mary's Cardz TV Challenge Blog - October Anything Goes Challenge

Double D Challenge Blog - Pumpkin Time

Nichole Heady's Papertrey Ink Blog - October's Crete Along With Us Challenge - I was inspired by the sweet new Kraft Window Tubes, how Melissa used kraft to stamp her thermos, and how Nichole used kraft paper to wrap her gift project.  It made me want to pull out my kraft paper and use it until I can get my hands on the sweet new Kraft Window Tubes; and I used the super sweet PTI Pumpkin Patch Stamp Set.

Dragonfly Journeys - Challenge #76 - Fall Festival of Colors

Joy Clair Challenge - October Color Challenge - I incorporated the Burnt Orange, Cranberry and Rust (and a touch of black)

Thanks so much for visiting me, and please know that although I'm a bit behind in visiting my friends' blogs, I appreciate your comments and I will make every effort to stop by your blog to say hello and leave some love this weekend.  I hope you're all having a wonderful start to the Autumn season, and that you're enjoying making Autumn cards.  I look forward to seeing your sweet creations.

Blessings to you all,

Karen

4 Crafty Chicks Guest Design

Hello, my sweet and talented blog friends!  Welcome back to my blog today, and thanks for stopping by.  During the month of October, I'm Guest Designing for the challenge blog 4 Crafty Chicks.  If you've ever played along there before, you know there's always lots of great inspiration and loads of fun.  And if you're not familiar with this challenge blog, I hope that you will stop by 4 Craft Chicks today to check it out and play along in their new Orange & Black Challenge #320.  You can create ANY project that includes the colors orange and black.

I chose to create a little Halloween card to send to the kids.  Of course, I had to make five of everything this year (for all four of Audra's kids, and my sweet niece Alexa).  I love sending them all little packages with treats, cards, and reminders of my love and concern for them, and they always love getting the goodies I send in the mail.

My card was created with lots of great Melissa Frances products from my stash including the patterned papers and stickers.  I added some wide black twill, rusty orange wide rick-rack, a sprig of black tulle, a JilliBean Soup ephemera, and a wooden bat.  There are also a few tiny black gem stickers on the circles.  I also made a candy cup that I inked up with Tim Holtz Distress Inks and stuffed with a piece of antique music paper and filled with big black and orange gum balls.

I really hope that you will all stop by 4 Crafty Chicks to play along in their Orange & Black Challenge.  I know you'll have fun, and the Design Team would LOVE to see all your fun creations.  It can be an Autumn project, a Not-So-Spooky creation, or anything with the theme colors.  We hope to see your creations linked to the challenge.

Special Delivery With RRR

Hi, everyone!  Today it's my turn to share a project for Really Reasonable Ribbon, and I thought I'd get a jump start on Christmas and create some gift-giving ideas to help inspire you to start on some of your Christmas gift-giving projects as well.  I created a card and a treat bag filled with candies to make a lovely gift set, and Really Reasonable Ribbon can help you as well.

My card was made using lots of great Carta Bella Christmas Delivery products.  I used their patterned papers, stickers, journalling cards, and ephemera pieces; but I also incorporated lots of other cute items. There's a cute white doily, a Melissa Frances rub-on (gifts), a berry branch, a Tim Holtz ephemera tag (Special Delivery), and all my great Really Reasonable Ribbon goodies including a bow I tied using their 3/8" Black and White Plaid Houndstooth Ribbon, Cherry Baker's Twine, and an adorable Ivory Sweetheart Blossom in the center of the ribbon.  I also added a black star stick pin to add an extra pop of color.

The gift bag is from Heidi Swapp, and I filled it with green mints.  The top of it is decorated with a white doily, some Tim Holtz ephemera, and again lots of great Really Reasonable Ribbon goodies including Lipstick Red Seam Binding, Ivory Seam Binding, Black Licorice Baker's Twine, Christmas Baker's Twine, and a Red Sweetheart Blossom.  All the Really Reasonable Ribbons work together so nicely to help showcase all your projects beautifully.  I just love how Really Reasonable Ribbon helps me make such gorgeous projects!

There are lots of great new Embellishments at Really Reasonable Ribbon as well, and lots of sweet little Mulberry Flowers to accent them nicely.  My cards always look so much sweeter once I've adorned them with some fabulous goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  You can stop by the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog every day to get lots of great inspiration and ideas, and there's always a FUN CHALLENGE taking place on the RRR Blog as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great week.  We look forward to seeing you soon over at Really Reasonable Ribbon, and we're always here to help inspire you and answer any questions you might have about the wonderful products they carry.  There's ALWAYS something exciting happening at Really Reasonable Ribbon!

I'm sharing my card here:
Sketch Saturday Challenge Blog - Week #433 - I flipped the sketch on its side and used a doily in the center rather than a rectangle.

Thanks for stopping by,

Not So Spooky Fun With Baker's Twine

It's time for a new challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon, and this time our theme is a "Not-So-Spooky Halloween".  At the risk of sounding like a broken record (so to speak), I'm sharing two cards today showcasing their amazing Baker's Twine.  I realize that I make a lot of cards with baker's twine, but there's a really good reason for that.  Ribbons, laces, twines and trims give our cards and projects extra texture, dimension, and character.  Not everybody loves super frilly ribbons.  And for that reason, I like to show you (again and again in many different ways) how this one SUPER SIMPLE and SUPER REASONABLY-PRICED trim can make your cards and projects POP.  Really Reasonable Ribbon carries 24 lovely shades of Baker's Twine, and it costs just ten cents per yard.  Yup!  You can get a ten-yard length for only $1, and that's a great bargain.  You could own all 24 colors for just $24, and you'd be set - with every color you could ever need.

My first card was made with some inked October Afternoon patterned papers and embellishments including the patterned papers, rub-ons, journalling card, flag, stickers, and ephemera.   I wrapped a length of Green Apple Baker's Twine around my card several times and tied it into a bow.  Let's be honest....this card just looks better with the Baker's Twine.  It adds SO much to this simple card.

The cute little eyes and rub-ons on the sticker at the bottom left are from October Afternoon, as is the Oct. 31 ephemera at the bottom right.  The banner is from an OA flag set.  I especially love the adorable little OA journalling card (J is for the jack-o-lanterns....) I used as the focal point.

My second card was made from three patterned papers I picked up today at Hobby Lobby.  They were 50% off, so I selected three Halloween prints that went together nicely.  I cut, inked, and pieced them together.  I added a few embellishments including some JilliBean ephemera (words, tag, web), a Spellbinders spiders web cut from black paper (thanks, Gail), a Jolee's Halloween piece, and I placed a Melissa Frances rub-on (Trick or Treat) on the hanging ephemera tag.

The ephemera tag hangs from a bow tied with Black Licorice Baker's Twine.  I also tied Orange Baker's Twine around my card.  I just love how these orange and black twines give my card so my personality.  They look great and really help make my card look put together.  Adding Baker's Twine is such a lovely touch.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Don't forget about the FUN CHALLENGE taking place now on the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.  We love to see your wonderful creations.

I'm playing along in these challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says "Halloween Inspiration"

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Simon Says "Halloween"

Scrapy Land Challenge Blog - Challenge #51 - Anything Goes - I used a Spellbinders spider web die-cut on my second card.

4 Crafty Chicks - Die Cuts

Hello, my crafty blog friends!  Today I'm sharing a project I created for a Guest Design spot I'm participating in for the month of October with the challenge blog 4 Crafty Chicks.  I will be sharing four projects in total starting with this post for their new Die-Cut Challenge #319 which starts today, and carrying on each Thursday throughout the month with a new theme for each week's challenge.  I hope that you will all stop by to play along with them.

I created this sweet little Christmas mitten using FIVE (5) different die-cuts.  Now please realize that you don't have to use five different die-cuts in order to play along.  You need to use only one die cut for this week's challenge.  I simply chose to use several die-cuts on my project to help get you all motivated to pull out your dies and play along.  Almost all the dies I used on this project are from Papertrey Ink.  The mitten itself is a die-cut from their Shake-Up Series called Mitten Die, the holly leaves are a die from their Holly Jolly Die Set, and finally, the star borders I added are the Open Stars and Closed Stars from their Super Star Borders Die Set.  Finally, the scalloped border die I used at the top is from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps and is the smaller of the two borders in their Scalloped Borders Set.

The rest of the Design Team Members have also created some fabulous samples to inspire and motivate you.  I hope you'll put out your die-cuts and stop by the 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge Blog to check out all the fun, and of course to play along in their challenge.  Who knows.....YOU could be their next lucky winner.

Happy crafting!

Wing Of Bat

Hello, friends!  Thanks for stopping by.  Tonight I'm sharing a card I made using lots of fun products from my stash.  When it comes to Halloween cards, I don't have any complete lines for creating them.  Instead, I use a little bit of whatever I happen to have (which isn't much) and put it all together until I come up with somethings that looks OK together. This was a lot of fun to make.

I used some super old patterned papers and stickers from Melissa Frances, some black card stock for the base, a strip of cream card stock, some JilliBean Soup ephemera, black baker's twine, black DMC floss, a tiny bottle of sand, a cute Jolee's bat sticker with wobbly eyes, a seam binding bow, and some machine stitching.  Like I said, a little of this and a little of that until it all somehow comes together.

I'm sharing this card in a couple of FUN challenges:

Choux Choux Paper Art - Lori Hairston's Blog - Halloween Challenge 2016 - Thanks again, Lori.  I was so excited when I got your message in my in-box letting me know that you were hosting another fun challenge, and I couldn't wait to play along.  This is my third, and final entry.  I can't thank you enough for all your hard work and inspiration in putting together these awesome challenges for us.

Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge Blog - Simon Says "Anything Goes"

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend.  I know I'm sure going to enjoy mine because I get to see our daughter and son-in-law which is always a fun time for our entire family.  I can't WAIT!!

Blessings to you,

Karen
