Make a Ribbon Bookmark in No Time



Want to create a super cute little gift that will take you no time to create...this ribbon bookmark is for you.  My little boy adores dogs, puppies, anything with four legs, lol.  When I found this adorable little doggie button I knew I had to make it into something special for him.  We also are always trying to encourage my son to read...so the two of them together make for a perfect project. 
 
Hope over to the Ribbon Resource Blog and you can see exactly how to make this craft.

It was a Pampered Weekend with Crafters Companion

After a long holiday weekend this is exactly how I feel...pampered.  I'm sure I won't be feeling that way in the morning when the work week begins again and I'm up at the crack of dawn to take my little boy to school...but for now. 

I created this card using the Spectrum Noir new sparkle markers and OMGOSH...they are wonderful.  I had so much fun coloring with them.   I had colored the base with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and then colored over selected portions with the sparkle markers.  The only thing I need to get down is the photography of the sparkle so you can see it better from home. 


Here's a list of all the Crafter's Companion goodies I used to create the circle easel card.

A Touch of Elegance

 
Hi everyone.  Today's card is one that I just love, love, love.  I'm using Graphic 45's Botanicabella rereleased collection along with some of my favorite dies and card stock from Crafter's Companion.   I think the two together make for one more elegant easel card. 
 
I topped it off with some ribbon from May Arts.  This is one of my favorite ribbons as it has wired edges so that helps to be able to make bows fluff and stand just the way I want them to. 
 
Here's a complete list of goodies from Crafter's Companion that I used on this project and links so you can go pick them up yourself.

Put a Bow On It with Ribbon Resource

Decorative pillows are the rage and they can really be expensive, so today I’ve got a great little tutorial to share with you that will have you a one of a kind decorative pillow for not a lot of $$$.  You can find all types of beautiful ribbon at The Ribbon Resource and get it in small amounts.....how exciting is that. 
 
Find a plain pillow, you pick the size.  I found one at target in the $3 bin that was canvas with gold polka dots.  It was perfect for this project.  Next  you’ll want to pick out your ribbon.  I suggest using a wide ribbon.  For this pillow I used a 3” wide Burlap ribbon that’s printed with gold. 
Work the pillow with your hand before you attach the ribbon.  You want to try to get the filler on the inside to move outwards. 
 

Next wrap your ribbon around your pillow, tuck in at the back and you can even tack it down with a needle and thread.  Then just fluff your pillow out and adjust your ribbon on the front. 
 
Here is a photo of the completed project to show you how cute it is finished.  I also made another one with some canvas polka dot ribbon that is super cute too.  The pair is adorable together.

Ribbon Bracelet with the Ribbon Resource



 Everybody loves a little bling bling and today I’ve got a really easy bracelet that you can create in no time.  These make wonderful gifts for your friends and with all the ribbon choices we offer along with various beads, the only limit is your imagination. 
 

Gather together ribbon, beads/pearls, needle and bead thread

  Fold your ribbon with a small hill(about ¼” to ½” depending on the side of your pearl) and lay your pearl beside it, then run your needle and thread through to set. 


Continue the first step until you have enough of a length to go around your wrist.  I used 13 beads, but this will varying depending on your size bead and size of bracelet desired.


Once you have all your beads set, then run back through the ribbon and the beads with your needle and thread.  This will help to make sure the bracelet stay tight and secure the beads/pearls. 

 


At the end of your bracelet when you’ve run the thread back through tie a double knot and then run the loose ends back through the three or four of the pearls to finish off. 

 


Finish off your bracelet with a cute bow.  I just slide my over my wrist when I want to wear, but you could just tie on and off  if you prefer. 



 



Other Supplies Used:

Pearls /Beads

Thread

Needle

Love Birds Birdhouse with Graphic 45


The stars of this project are the two love birds, I’m in love with them.  They needed a house to live in so I made the birdhouse for them to roost.  I had to dress the birdhouse up a bit with flowers, ribbon and fussy cut images as we couldn’t have them live in a plain jane house, LOL.  I think I’ll be making more of these birds around Christmas time to nestle them in my tree…I can’t wait.

 




 
Katie has an adorable project to share with you today too using the collection Raining Cats and Dogs so head to Graphic 45's blog and see what she has in store for you.

Make a Ribbon Topiary with May Arts Ribbon

 
 Who wouldn't love to create this whimsical centerpiece for that special occasion?  Just think, with the right ribbon from May Arts you could make beautiful baby shower displays, wedding reception table toppers or just one for your everyday home decor in coordinating colors.  The sky is the limit, and when you see how easy it is to create one of these ribbon topiaries you'll be making them for yourself and friends left and right. 


 
Here are the supplies that you'll need.  Lots of fun ribbon from May Arts ( a complete list of the ribbon I used can be found at the bottom of this post), a foam base and lots of straight pins. 
 
 
Using 1 1/2" wide ribbon, cut lengths of ribbon 4 1/2" long.   

 
You'll want to use a wide variety of color coordinated ribbon.  I've used some crochet ribbon, sheer ribbons and of course some great solids with and without patterns.  The more the merrier. 


 
Roll the 4 1/2" ribbon as shown above
 

 
Using two straight pins, one on each side, push down into the foam base.  Continue doing this all over the foam base mixing all the ribbons together.  If you have a spot that needs a little more, just stick another ribbon roll down in to make the ball nice and full. 

 
Once the balls are covered and you're ready to put in a pot, push down into the pot and then cover the top with tissue paper. 

 
Using wired ribbon, wrap the stem of the topiary and attach to the foam base with a straight pin. 

 
To add a bit more whimsy, take the wired ribbon and makes some curls, then place them at the base of each of the balls and also at the very top.  Fluff and arrange your ribbon as desired. 
 

 
Lastly I decored the pot with this adorable self adhesive May Arts ribbon.  I just felt it gave that nice finished touch and really made it look festive. 
 
 
Here is close up of the ribbons so you can see how mixed up they are and how cute they all go together.
