A Peek Into My Stamping Room: Really Reasonable Ribbon

Really Reasonable Ribbon - May Ribbon Club

**Updated - Link to JUNE Ribbon Club-- (links will be fixed asap) Sorry!

Good Morning Everyone and welcome to the Really Reasonable Ribbon - May Ribbon Club blog hop! The RRR Design Team Members and Special Event Design Team Members will be showcasing the Monthly Ribbon Club. Here are the beautiful ribbons in the May club.

If you are following the order of the blog hop you should have just come from Emily's Blog. If not and you just happened to pop in for a visit please click HERE to start the blog hop at the Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings! Blog.

Pink and black is one of my favorite color combos so this ribbon is getting used up pretty quickly. Here is one of my first projects using this month's ribbon.

Since its May, I decided I would get busy on those cards and gifts I needed for the graduates we know. I found this cute metal bucket at the $Dollar Spot in Target. It had holes punched and a different ribbon in it so I ripped that ribbon out and put my pretty RRR black satin ribbon on it. Instead of tieing the ribbon into a knot to make the handle, I used some small pieces of Scor-Tape to anchor the ribbon into place.

Here is the card......

For this card, I used a stamp from Great Impressions. The sentiment was printed onto white cardstock using the computer. As you can see, I tied the black ribbon into a bow and then added a flower from S5-105 Floral Tags die template set.

Here is another close up of the bucket.....

Great graduation set Debbie. I just love the 'upcycled' dollar store bucket. I see so many great projects using dollar store finds. Now just fill the bucket with money and your grad will be all set. :)

What a lovely graduation card. I'm always at a loss as to what to do. This is very doable and so precious. Can actually see the flower die as it is after cutting. Guess I need that die. Great job!!
