Sweet Vintage Valentine's Day Cherub Card

Hello Friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

I had a bit of time to play...thank goodness there is a little break between Christmas and New Years!

Today I am sharing with you my Really Reasonable Ribbon Post.

Kinda Clean and Simple

(I will refer to this in the future as KCAS...lol)

 I finished this card in under 6 min.  I was pretty impressed and actually okay with the fact that it didn't have a ton of yummy stuff on it.  Scor Tape is holding down my text boxes and Sheer Ivory/Cream two tone ribbon. My vintage button is tied with Peppermint Baker's Twine.  The bow was made using my 

 Bow it All tool!! 
Here are a couple close ups.

You can find the Sweet Cherub Image in my Etsy here. 
Here is what it looks like :0)

Vintage inspired Christmas tag

Hello Friends!!

Today I would like to share with you a simple 

Christmas tag that I designed using some odds and ends from a couple of my digital Collage Sheets and goodies from
Really Reasonable Ribbon.
The Merry Christmas Text boxes and Christmas tree came from my Traditional Mitten Collage Sheet set.  Pugsley came from my Vintage Pink Christmas Mitten set.

I used the 5/8 Red Gingham and 1/4 Red Gingham and Peppermint Baker's twine from

 Really Reasonable Ribbon.  

 Candi Fix it foam pads were used to elevate my Tree and Christmas gift.  Scor Tape was used to hold down the wide gingham ribbon and Merry Christmas text boxes.

Here are a couple close ups.

I used my Zutter Bow it All tool to create my Red Gingham bow.  Fauna Glitter was applied to the outer portion of my Bingo Base, Pugsley and text boxes.  Just peachy was used on the gift, Ensalada on the tree.

I wrapped the Peppermint Baker's twine around my package and my Christmas Tree and used it to tie a sweet little bow in my vintage button.

One last look at the finished tag.

Thank you for visiting!!

I hope that you have a Happy Holiday!

Victorian Boy Christmas Stocking Collage Sheet & Ornament

Hello Friends!!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Today I would like to share with you a new collage sheet that I designed.

It is  my 

Victorian Boy Christmas Stocking Collage Sheet.

I have to say...I LOVE it...lol.

Here is a look at the sheets that you get in the set.
Pg 1
This page and the second page pieces will all line up back to back if you would like your tags or ornaments to look pretty on the back too.  Otherwise you can use a light colored paper and write a memory on the back..that would be so sweet!

Pg 2

The smaller images are great to add to tags and ATC's...

Pg 3

Pages 3 & 4 will line up also.  These are a great size for ornaments too!  They will also work great as focals on cards....

Pg 4
I used a bunch of images to create this collage.  The hardest one to see is the tiny sailboat that I created...lol.  The sail looks like a sash on my little boys shirt...but it is a boat...lol.  I guess I got a little carried away with the images....lol.

Here is an ornament that I made using the largest Image.

Couple Close ups

You can see "Pugsley" playing his trumpet :0)

While little Gabriel is holding "Pugsley's" little sister "Poodles"

You just might be able to make out the sail boat...lol

 I added a Candy Cane, Wreath...Bow...Holly...and of course the Christmas Tree.  I stuffed all kinds of goodies into this stocking!

Of course I covered it with a ton of glitter!!  So it is super sparkly!!

Here I have a photo of the large ornament next to the other pieces that come on the same sheet so you can see the sizes in comparison of each other.

I just wanted you to see how great they go with my 
Victorian Christmas Boot Ornaments...That are Girly Pink, Vintage White, Victorian Blue and Traditional Red.

The two Victorian Ladies Boots above are not finished.  I am working on a special order for Beth..she is the one that asked me to make her some stuffed ones...and when she received them...she said her hubby loved them too...lol..and that they both wanted another set of three. :0)
I think that is so sweet! I hope you enjoy my sheets...and Ornament!!

Thank you for visiting!

Hugs!!

December Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop

Hello Friends!!

I am so excited to be participating in the

December Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop!!

Hopefully you are visiting me from Karen's Blog. 

If you are just joining the blog hop, then you will want to start at the 

Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.

That way you can see what you can win, and not miss out on any of the Design Team's fabulous creations using this month's

Really Reasonable Ribbon Assortment!!

Here is a photo of the Ribbon Assortment below!!

I just love all the ribbons in Bonnie's 

Winter Wonderland Mix Assortment!!

I used the Diamond Print, Plaid Grey Ribbon,  Priscilla White Crochet Lace, Blue Swiss dots, Delicate Stitched Satin Grey, Blue Satin with Silver edges and Blue/Silver Chevron Striped Grosgrain from this month's kit!

I also used Tombow Foam Tabs, Silver Metallic Baker's Twine, and Baby Blue Mulberry Roses to give my tag a lovely decorated touch.

I thought I would use things that I already had cut out ....
so here is a tag I pieced together from my
digital collage sheets extra pieces.

I started out with my Large Music Tag Base Piece ($3), Layered on a Chalkboard Tag from my Chalk Board Pillow Box Ornament Set (3 pg set $10).  I wrapped the Delicate Stitched Satin Grey, Priscilla White Crochet Lace, (hidden under stuff) and Blue Satin with Silver edges, around the bottom part of my chalk board tag. Tombow Foam Tabs were used to elevate it from my Large Music Tag Base.
 Close ups 

Blue/Silver Chevron Striped Grosgrain,  Diamond Print, Plaid Grey Ribbon and BlueSwiss dots  were layered onto the base Music Tag.

More Tombow Foam Tabs were used to elevate my Vintage Angel, Sentiments and #24.  

 Plaid Grey Ribbon and Blue Satin with Silver edges Ribbons were used to create some simple bows to add some dimension to my tag.  I also tied to Vintage Buttons and top of my tag with the Silver Metallic Baker's Twine.

I tucked in two candy canes and added a few 

Baby Blue Mulberry Roses, to finish off my embellishments.

Fauna, Garnet and Storm Glitters were used to give my tag some sparkly touches.

I just loved working with this month's ribbon assortment!! 

Here are the collage sheets that I used pieces from.

Vintage Inspired Christmas Cards and Tussie Mussie

Of course I have used some fabby Ribbons and Trims from

Really Reasonable Ribbon!!

 First is my Simple Tussie Mussie....not so fussie

Here are a couple close ups of the below.

I used the Pink Diagonal Ribbon and Natural 1/4 inch lace.

 I used my  Bow it All tool to make the two bows on the sides.

Here are two quick and easy cards using my Collage Sheets

Flat Card...using my Traditional Christmas Focals and

 "Merry Christmas Sentiment" from my

 Noel Tag and Present Tag set.

 I used  Scor Tape, to hold my pieces to the background paper.  I used glue to hold down the Rosemary Crochet Lace and 

Red Micro Gingham.  I just tied a simple knot to create the bow.

 This time I used a couple pieces from different sheets.

Merry Christmas Sentiment from my Noel Tag and Present Tag set.  Candy Cane and Christmas Tree from my Traditional Mitten Set.  The Little Victorian Christmas girl and Spring Green Tag Bases.

 I used the same Scor Tape but this time I used the

Guest Designing at Gloria's Craft Hoarders Anonymous

Hello Friends!!

Today I would like to share with you three of my 

Shabby Chic Victorian Boot Christmas Ornaments that I made for 

My Guest Designer Spot at Gloria's

Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge.

The theme this time is: Celebrate the Season

(hop on over to the challenge blog and get all the deets).

I was actually contacted through my Etsy shop, by Beth to see if I could make her these three ornaments, which I don't normally sell finished projects :0)...but I decided why not...I would do a tutorial.

So...she asked me if I would stuff the boots, and at first I was hesitant about that...but once I started, I LOVED them!  Of course...I am thinking I need some for myself.

I used some Really Reasonable Ribbon Goodies: Moss green Leaves,Gold Metallic Baker's Twine, Baby Pink Mulberry Roses, Tombow Foam Tabs and Juliet Lace on the tiny pockets of my boots.

I used Gold Organza to tie my bow at the top.

Here they are individually

This one was made with my

  Winter White Boot Collage sheet that you can find in my Etsy here.

The sheets look like this

 Shabby Pink Boot Collage sheet that you can find in my Etsy here.

Here are the pink ones

Original Blue Victorian Boot Digital Collage sheet you can find here.

Here is how the sheets look.

I also have the set in Red, which you can find here... 

I have not made one of these yet :0)

You can watch my tutorial below on how to create your own 

Christmas Boot Ornaments.
