It's a Blog Hop with RC and Kraftin' Kimmie!

Morning!!!

The Ribbon Carousel Crewmates are so excited to be teaming up with the designers from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps to bring you a blog hop that is sure to knock your socks off!

Can you just see all the delightful goodies from both places that I used in my card? The stamp is from the Lulu and Friends set by Kraftin' Kimmie. I paired it up with paper by Simple Stories. Did you know that Ribbon Carousel carries 6x6 paper pads...I mean they carry loads and all sorts of brands. Don't let the name fool you...there's more crafty crack at Ribbon Carousel that you could imagine!!  You will notice in so many of my cards lately I have been using this Ivory Jute/Burplap twine. I have an infactuation with it lately. I can't help it!  The sentiment is from The Greeting Farm tea time set and the die is from Whimsy stamps.  

Lets talk prizes!

Hop along and leave some blog love for our designers for a chance to win one of two great prizes! The Ribbon Carousel will be giving away a $25.00 gift certificate to the store and Kraftin' Kimmie will be giving away a winner's choice of 1 stamp set or 3 individual stamps! The winner of the carousel on the Kraftin' Kimmie blog and the winner of the Kraftin' Kimmie stamps will be announced on the Ribbon Carousel blog!

PS. I also have my own Blog Candy going on right now. You can click HERE to sign up for it!!

RC - Friends Stick Together.

Good morning. This is my SECOND POST today - if you are looking for my Magnolia-licious DT Card, click HERE.

It's challenge day with the Ribbon Carousel Crew!  Suzanne is challenging us to create something based on this super cool photo she found on Pinterest:

Here is what I created this week for the Ribbon Carousel Challenge:

If you have been on my blog before you will know this is SO NOT my style of card. It's much too simple for me, but I have to say I really like it!! ;-)  I colored my "Out on a Limb" By Pure Innocence stamp with Copic markers and then used some foam squares to pop her up a bit. The cardstock is the fabulous Bazzill cardstock that is now my go too cardstock for everything. It's very heavy weight and is perfect for cardmaking.  I used "Peanut Cluster" and you can purchase it from The Ribbon Carousel. It then tied a simple knot using some Brown Grosgrain ribbon.

Your creation can be anything from cards, quilts, sewn items,paper crafts, paintings! *** Be sure to have ribbon, bakers twine, jute twine,lace, thread (basically anything that comes on a spool). ***

We'd love for you to join us this week!

Don't forget I have BLOG CANDY on my blog, it ends August 10th so do hop on over to this POST to sign up for it!!

Tutu Sweet- Magnolia-licious

Hello! Inspiration Challenge day at Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.  Here is the photo, how does it inspire you?

Here is how I was inspired. I though this was a perfect opportunity to ink up my Tilda in Ballet Shoes.

I colored her with Copic markers. Added a flourish border. The flowers are from an MFT die. The border punch is Martha Stewart.

Thanks for looking and now go on over to the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog and play along with us!  $25.00 gift certificate to the store for a random winner!

Bazzill & Ribbon Carousel - National Lollipop Week

Good morning!! Exciting news today, RC is being featured on the Bazzill blog today to help show off the Card Shoppe Card Stock!!

Have you tried the Bazzill Card Shoppe Card Stock yet?!

Bazzill has been working with its paper mills to create the perfect premium, smooth, heavy-weight cardstock that will be a sweet treat for every card-maker. Now available in 28 coordinating colors. The paper is a stout 100 lbs. and folds with a crisp edge. It won’t warp when used with markers, inks, or mists, and can handle loads of embellishments without sagging.

Did you know that we carry all 28 colors at the Ribbon Carousel store?!

The Ribbon Carousel Crewmates have fallen in love with the stuff!

We are thrilled to be teaming up with Bazzill today to show off their amazing new card stock! Today is National Lollipop Day so the Ribbon Carousel Crewmates have created some crafty eye candy with this theme!

After you check out the cards, head right on over to the Bazzill blog AND there you find a special COUPON for the Ribbon Carousel store!

You are going to LOVE the thickness of this cardstock. For my card today I used  Candy Hearts and Sour Lemon Cardstock . I embossed the Sour Lemon, there was no tearing  just perfect embossing!  I hate when you embossing something and it tears the paper because it's not of good quality or thin!

My image is a Magnolia and she is simply enjoying her Lollipop for National Lollipop Day!

Would you like to win some Bazzill Cardstock???

Bazzill donated 3 sampler pack of the Card Shope cardstock for us to give away!

Here's what you need to do:
