Autumn Leaves Challenge and Collage Sheet

Hello Friends!!
Happy Tuesday!!
Today is the 15th, and you know what that means!
Time for a new Challenge at Really Reasonable Ribbon!
Our theme for this challenge is Autumn Leaves & Ribbon.
Here is my creation below.
Pin It!
It is a card, which can be used as a frame, with a removable tag of course :0)
I used some goodies from Really Reasonable Ribbon to dress up my piece!
My sentiment is "When the Season is Thanksgiving and Autumn's in the air.....It warms the heart to think of those For whom we specially care.
Here you will see I used some of my favorite Brown Sugar Baker's Twine and Wine Grosgrain as well as the items I already mentioned above. I used my Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue &
Ultra fine Metal Tip to apply glue drops to my piece, then added #196 Lion's Mane glitter!  I also used my Perfect Layers Ruler to create my tag below.   Below is my tag which comes out.
I kept it simple with the Juliet Lace, and the Seam binding bow.
I did create a collage sheet for my creation!
I used images from Karen the Graphics Fairy.
You will notice that after I did my first card and tag, I decided to go ahead and create a digital tag base for the card, instead of you having to get additional paper.  I also included another tag on the card (Darker one) with the same sentiment and some pumpkins.  There are a couple extra pumpkins for a Clean and Simple card!

You can purchase it in my Etsy here.

***How would you like a chance to win my Collage Sheet??
Simple enough, just leave a comment below
 and I will do a Random Draw and announce it next week.***

I have done a tutorial for the card, and it will be with my next 
RRR post.

Vintage Christmas Bingo Cards Tutorial

Hello Friends!!
I hope everyone is having a Fabulous Day!
Today I would like to share with you an easy peasy 
Vintage Christmas Bingo Card that I created.
Pin It!
This was so much fun, super quick and will fit in an envelope to mail nicely!
Here is how I went about making my card.
It looks like this
***How would you like a chance to win my Collage Sheet??
Simple enough, just leave a comment on my 
REALLY REASONABLE RIBBON POST 
 and I will do a Random Draw and announce it next week.***
Next I cut out my pieces, and inked all the edges with Ranger's Vintage Photo Distress Inks.   I also went ahead an applied some of my
 Really Reasonable Ribbon
Scor Tape to my Bingo Image.
Next I use my Perfect layers Ruler to cut my black piece of cardstock (I just add a dab of glue from a glue stick to the back of my bingo image, and then used the perfect layer tool).  I added some fabby Black Diamond Satin Ribbon, and another layer of 
Scor Tape.  I also inked a piece of Red dots Ribbon, which I will lay on top of the black diamond.
I went ahead and adhered my black cardstock layer to my card base with Scor Tape.  I started to add some dot of 
 Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue with the Ultra fine Metal Tip, to the holly berries.
I applied #175 Retro Red glitter to the holly berries.  I added more glue to the some of the outline of the Bingo lines, and covered them with #188 Black Vinyl Glitter.  I also took another piece of the Red dots Ribbon  and created loop, and glued the top to the bottom in the center (please refer to photo below).  I used the Peppermint Baker's Twine to create a cute little bow in the center of my Vintage Button Bonanza Button!
My last step was to glue down my Red dots Ribbon and then glue down my Vintage Button Bonanza Button.  Please refer to photo below for placement.
Here are a couple close ups of my Simple Bingo Card.
I just love how the Really Reasonable Ribbons, dress up my simple card!
The Peppermint Candy, Candy Cane and Holly leaves and Berries are ones I painted in GIMP.
I hope you enjoyed my Simple Vintage Christmas Bingo Card Tutorial, and that it inspires you to have a Jolly day...LOL.
I will be sharing with 
Brag Monday at the Graphics Fairy Thank you for Visiting!!
