Sending Love on Valentine's Day Card for a Friend

Today I am sharing a pretty Valentine's Day card for a friend, or should I say 'Galentine's Day card??  I actually didn't know what Galentine's Day was until recently, buy hey, why not celebrate friendship on Valentine's Day?!

I embellished the card with some pretty ribbons and flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

I created a 4-3/4″ x 6-1/2″ card with loads of layers. My digital sentiment from Bonnie Garby Designs is my main focal point.  I ran a piece of dark pink cardstock across the middle of the card topped with Random Mixed Pink Stars on White Grosgrain Ribbon across the center of the card.  I topped it off with a pretty bi-color double loop bow and below the sentiment I have added some pretty 15 and 20mm white Open Roses.

The sentiment on the front of my card is from my Clean and Simple Valentine Sentiments Digi Stamp Bundle. The interior Sentiment is from the Valentine Sentiments for Friends for the Inside Digital Stamp Bundle. The background was created with the Hearts in Line Overlay SVG Bundle. All my designs can be found on my Bonnie Garby Designs Etsy shop.

Our sister company 'Bonnie Garby Designs' is offering a large variety of digital sentiment stamps and svg files.  Below are the digital stamp bundles I used on my card today.

Here's My Heart

 Hello, Friends! Here's My Heart just in time for Valentine's Day!  I've loaded this Victorian style wall hanging with so many beautiful mulberry flowers from Really Reasonable Ribbon!  Then I tied it all together with lots of feminine 3/8" Coral Rose Check Ribbon.  It's my take on a tussy mussy, and I had so much fun putting it all together!

I dressed up my tussy mussy with:

• Mixed Pink 15mm Open Roses
• Mixed Pink 15mm Open Roses
• Mixed Pink Sweetheart Blossoms
• Mixed Red Carnations
• Mixed Pink and White Cosmos Daisies
• Mixed Pastel Magnolias
• White English Roses (discontinued)

Beautiful flowers and romantic ribbon make me happy!  

Wishing you all a joyful and creative day, friends!

Cheerio,

kathy

Oh My Heart~Bow!

 Hi, Y'all! Misty here with you today! 

 ( @Mommyofkidz on Instagram) 

This is my VERY FIRST post for RRR this year and I am so excited!  It brings me real joy to be on the team again! Bonnie is amazing and ribbon is one of my addictions!

Today I want to share a cute little bow that I made using a plethora of GORGEOUS ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  With Valentine's Day coming soon, I decided to move out of the Christmas mode and break out the  Hearts and Flowers!! 

{{Insert Heart Eyes!}}

When I decide to make a bow, I always start with a ribbon that is an inch and a half wide for the base.  For this one I used Grosgrain White  to provide the background for all the reds to POP! There are tons of red ribbons in the RRR store.  So many in fact...that it was a little bit hard for a girl to decide which ones to use! Rather than fighting with myself, I decided to choose one of the pre-made assortments to create with.  They already match and look amazing together!

 I chose the Sweetheart Assortment to create some of the layers on this beauty.

I also added in some other elements such as some white Flat back Pearls, white flat back pearl hearts, and Cherry Baker's twine.

!!!OH MY HEART!!!

I am so in LOVE with how this turned out! val

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite days of the year. 

Actually, I really just love all the HEARTS that start popping out in every corner of every store everywhere! 

Thanks for stopping by today!!  Go check out all the HEART ribbons that RRR has to choose from to get started on your own Valentine's Day projects! It will be here before you know it!

XOXO Card

Hello, everyone! It is Gloria bringing some Valentine cheer!

There is always something so sweet about making Valentine's Day cards. Maybe it is all that pink, red, white, and black together. Maybe it is nostalgia for my school day's Valentine parties. Maybe is is visions of chocolate clouding my brain! Whatever it is, I enjoy making Valentines!

I created a standard A2 card from black cardstock and then jazzed it up with some paper (Simple Stories Kissing Booth). I adore those X's and O's. 

I made a fluffy bow from the 5/8" Pink Delicate Stitched Satin, topped with a Pink Cottage Rose. I don't care how many mulberry paper flowers I have, I always "need" more! I love that Bonnie carries them in the shop! 

I die cut the word "Love" from black cardstock and attached it (ever so carefully) to the top of the bow. I also die cut a heart shape from the printed paper. I was going to stitch around the outside edge with embroidery floss, but...I had other things to be doing so I drew on some stitches with a white pen. I did it incorrectly, but pretend it looks fine!

A few stickers and some enamel dots finish off the card. I also lined the inside with white cardstock, ready for a sentiment stamp. 

Thank you so much for joining me today!

Love Notes Candy Mail Box

Hello everyone and happy Thursday to you all! Today I'm sharing this sweet little mail box I made for Really Reasonable Ribbon using their beautiful satin ribbon. This box was super fun to make, and I'm hoping to have time to make more of this one.

For my Mail Box I used die cuts, and then figured out how big I wanted my base to be. I then scored and cut my paper and did up a templet for that so I have it on hand for future boxes. These would also be cute at Easter time too. It can hold lots of candy kisses. In the photo I have 11 kisses but you could add more if needed.

Next I added some magnets to keep it closed, then a cute 3-D embellishment, and Really Reasonable Ribbons Pink Satin, and Pink Bakers Twine. I also used Scor-Tape in 2 different sizes, and foam square as well. the little Heart embellishment is a 12mm Fish Scale Heart. Lastly I added my bow and little tag. You could also add some love notes to the inside as well. I will add those after.

Supplies used:

• Really Reasonable Ribbon Pink Satin
• Pink Bakers Twine
• 12mm Fish Scale Heart Cabochon
• Scor Tape in 1" , and 1/4"
