Ellen's Easter Basket

Ellen (CardMonkey) here with yet another way to use your Rumple Ribbons ...

Here, I took an Easter basket die cut and wove the new delicious color called Rosebud through the upper edge of the basket. As Goldilocks might say, Rumple Ribbons are "just right" ... soft enough that they didn't tear my diecut as I thread it through the paper cuts, and firm enough to hold the pretty bow on the left.

 

Hop on by my blog to get more information on the various dies used. You can find me in the Jungle, at www.cardmonkeyspaperjungle.com. Eeek!

 

 

 

 

 

Stephanie shares the love ♥

 

Hey friends! Stephanie here today to take over the blog and share with you all my latest card.

 

My husband and I will celebrate 14 years of marriage next week, so I figured I needed to make a card for him! I have used the "Olive You" ribbon from the "On the Edge" collection. I love the versatility of this ribbon!!

You can see more on my blog at www.stephanie-eaken.blogspot.com.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hello Friends!

Do you ever struggle with deciding how to finish a project and wonder if your creations need a few more artistic touches? No? It's just me? Really? :)

Mama LoveBug is up first - my Rumple Ribbon project actually shows off two new colors - Oh Darling and Gentleman's Jacket - On The Edge Collection; I fashioned a double bow for an Easter project - it's a double-sided stand-up card.  The digi stamp is a Sherri Baldy Besties Easter gal. There was a whole lot of fussy cutting here along with water color penciling and gel-pen/Stickles enhancements.  My Easter gal, Rumplelena, could be given as a card or be used as a centerpiece for an Easter table decoration.

 

HI EVERYONE!!!!

Kimi here and I am so thrilled you are joining us today!! The Team has put together some amazing projects so make sure you stop at all the blogs on the hop!!!

For my project I wanted to make a center step card! I know you've seen these before but I've never made one! Wow...I may be addicted! Super easy and I love how it turned out! Here it is:

"May you find treasure at the end of the Rainbow"

I made the rainbow out of...what else...Rumple Ribbons! I so love how it turned out!!!

Here's the colors I used -

Red: Christmas Present

Orange: Autumn Spice

Yellow: Sunflower

Green: Green Leaves

Blue: Icy Sky

Purple: Sugar Plum

 

The paper is from a spring DCWV Stack I've had for years!! The little images on the "coins" I found online and the sentiment is computer generated! Hope you like my card and it inspires you to try something new!!!

Mama LoveBug & Dawn Rene's Sneak Peekaboo

Hi Crafties!  This is the LoveBug Creations CT Sneak Peek Week - (say that fast three times).......Each day members of the CT will showcase aka tease you with a specific color from our new Rumple Ribbon Spring Collection.  Since this is my shared blog (with daughter Kimi), I can let you in on the name of my ribbon color but for others on the CT, you need to check out their blogs for the scoop.

I actually made two sneakers (one is even wearing sneakers!!).  My first project is a bookmark but you could use it as a gift tag too.  I love to read, so I found this a useful project for myself.  My second project is a double-sided stand-up card for one of my besties at work.

My LBC Rumple Ribbon spring color is Oh Darling!
For the bookmark I threaded the ribbon and made a bow at the top; my focal image was a lovely heart from Loralie Designs; the sentiment is from a Dr. Seuss quote collection online.

For the sneaker girl I used a cutie from button girls by Treasure Box.

During the sneak peek week you can have a chance to win any two colors from the LBC Rumple Ribbon spring collection, but unfortunately, this blog candy has to remain in the USA.  So if you've a yen for some rumple ribbon, here's what you need to do:
1.  Become a fan if you aren't already
2.  Leave me a love note with a way to contact you

AND........mark February 23-24 on your crafting calendar and join the LBC CT for our first blog hop called March Holidays...........there's inspiration and blog candy for that event too........


Remember no matter how you piece your paper and rumple your ribbon, have fun with it.........cyberhugs.......Mama LoveBug

Happy Monday!

Welcome to Day 2 of Lovebug Creations Sneak Peek Week. This is Dawn Rene Carlyle from Designs By Dawn Rene. I just joined the Lovebug Creations' creative team. I am very honored to be a part of the fabulous group of gals that get to play with the beautiful Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbons. This week we are highlighting the new spring ribbons that go on sale February 24th. I created this friendship easel card using one of the new ribbons for fun bow. Stop by my blog, Designs By Dawn Rene, to get additional details.

Sneak Peek Day #1

 

Hello Lovebug friends! Stephanie here today to share my first post as a member of the LBC CT. I am so excited to be on this adventure!! These ribbons are gorgeous and oh so fun to play & craft with.
I made a mini album to display older photos of my daughter that were taken by a wonderful photographer and great friend of mine.

Don't you just love the rumple ribbon?! To learn the color from the new collection, and for more information on my mini, you can check out my blog at www.stephanie-eaken.blogspot.com.

Thanks so much for letting me share with you today. Have a "bug-tastic" day!!

Smash and Marilyn with LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon

Mama LoveBug here - I love the TV show, Smash, and its Marilyn Monroe theme so I channeled Marilyn for some crafty mojo to create a double-sided stand-up card using Marilyn.  Her famous song quote - "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend" gave rise to a switch of my own - Friends Are A Girl's Diamonds.

This Marilyn is a digi stamp from Simply Betty.  I printed her out twice, flipping in a horizontal pattern to get the front and the back.  Then I colored her with pencils, gel pen, and Stickles for highlighting.  I printed out my sentiment, fussy cut the digi and then adhered her to white cardstock and fussy cut her again per each side (a whole lot of fussy cutting going on here).  I made a little stand for her and then designed the double bow.

I made a double bow from our Rumple Ribbon for sweetie, Marilyn.  These ribbon strands were from one of the special Valentine collections - Red Hot Lovers Rumple Ribbon.

I hope you'll watch for our Sneak Peekaboo starting tomorrow - a huge number of new ribbon choices.  Also join us on February 23-24 for our very first Creative Team Blog Hop - March Holidays!! There'll be blog candy at both events!!

Remember, no matter how you piece your paper and rumple your ribbon, have fun with it.......cyberhugs.......Mama LoveBug.

Heart Bookmark

Hey Everyone! I'm so excited to be able to share this info with you today. My first project with LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon. I made some Valentine bookmarks and used the Panther Pink Rumple Ribbon from this set.

 



heart bookmark



You can visit my blog for more info on the bookmark ;)

♥Martha

Happy ♥ Day!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today is a day for love ... not only to recognize those people you love, but how about acknowledging some of those things you love, too?

 

I L♥VE paper crafting, I can't deny it! I'm a hoarder of all things crafty, and I will never stop. :) One of my very favorite things is the new Rumple Ribbons by Lovebug Creations.

 

 

Of course, Rumple Ribbons can be tied into a bow. But did you know you can make things out of your ribbon to work as embellishments on your cards or scrapbook layouts? For example, take a look at these beautiful Caddy Blue roses! To make them, just lay a line of glue along one edge of your Rumple Ribbon and roll and fluff the petals. Easy-peasy!

 

For more information on the products used to make this card, please check out my blog post earlier this week. I made this card for my daughter, Emily who is not only my FAVORITE daughter, she's my only child, so I can play favorites, for sure! Happy ♥ Day!
