Christmas is coming......

We have beautifully sunny and warm weather here in the UK this weekend and we're defintely making the most of it!  So, is it too early to start thinking about Christmas?  

If you're anything like me, I get carried away with the preparations leading up to the big day that I often run out of time to make my cards.  

So why not start making those cards now, we have some new products and some old favourites, perfect for making those cards, decorations and gift wrapping.

**Newly stocked**

Grosgrain 'Merry Christmas' Ribbons

**Old Favourites**

To help get your creativity started, here are a few festive ideas using some of the above products.

Pearls & Pins

We absolutely love all things ribbon related and enjoy sourcing new products to add to our shop.  Whilst browsing for those goodies, we come across other beautiful products that compliment our ribbons which include paper pads, flowers, buttons and much more. 

We're excited to have recently found a new supplier of pearl pins.  These 3 pearl pins look beautiful added to projects behind ribbon bows and flowers.  We have chosen colours that we hope will suit most crafters......

If you're looking to add that something special to your projects, we highly recommend these self adhesive pearls.  We have several colours and sizes in stock, perfect for wedding and vintage crafts.

We love these cute candy stripe buttons and just had to share them with you.  At just 12mm wide, they are great for most craft projects.  Available singular so you can purchase just want you need in the colours you need.

We love the projects that you share with us, so if you have made something using our products and would like us to showcase them on our blog, then email us at mail@theribbonreel.co.uk. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Beautiful Blooms

After a lot of thought, we finally decided to stock a few Prima Marketing items including these gorgeous fabric flowers. We've started with a small selection but hope to expand on these in the next few months. There were just far too many to chose from so if any of our lovely customers were after a particular flower, just let us know and we can order them in.

Not only do these flowers look beautiful on cards, scrapbook layouts but also look fabulous on altered projects. I've recently created a beautiful headband by simply sticking a few of the Prima flowers pictured above directly on to a fabric headband. I've not had time to take photos yet but will share them when I do.

If you've created something beautiful with these flowers and would like to share, pop us a photo and we'll share on our blog.

TRR #23 Newsprint Challenge

I've been rather neglecting my lovely little blog lately, we've had so many wonderful new products in and we've been busy adding them all to the shop! I'll pop some photos up and share details over the next few days.

We have new fortnightly challenge running over at our challenge blog with a chance for one lucky person to receive a £10 Gift Voucher to use in the shop! It was my turn to host the challenge and I chose this beautiful inspiration photo.....

...and ask that you create a card /project using NEWSPRINT or BOOKPRINT & RIBBONS!

There is still a week left and we'd love for you to join in and share your beautiful projects so why not pop over and take a look at the cards the Design Team have created to help inspire you.

Mini Ric Rac

We just adore this super cute mini ric rac, ideal for your card making and scrapbooking but also for your fabric projects too! I think I'm going to making some mini cushions and add this as trim.

Available in white, light pink, light blue, olive and raspberry for just £0.35p/metre.
