Dawn Mercedes' Throwback Friday ♥

A little throw back post to get your revved up for the fall holidays!!  Whether you enjoy apples or pumpkins, Lovebug Creations will spice up your autumn crafts!

Sunny September days...are perfect for apple picking or

reading a book!

This sunny Lemonade Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations 

makes a great statement!

Using a sewing tool, I perforated one side to create a

bookmark that can be easily torn off and used!

Then comes the cool October nights...

do you have your boo-ing plans set up?  

Use Mama's Mesh to create all sorts of shapes.

Add interest by shading in the edges with daubers and ink!

Thanks for checking in on today's Throwback Post!

I hope these reminders will jog your mojo!

For more inspiration, please amble over to my blog,

Sunnyside Up!

 

Connie's Gorgeous Layout ♥

Hello Lovebugs!!

 

It's my day with another new project to share using my favorite LoveBug Creations Products!! 

Just another gorgeous mixed media layout to share designed by Miss Suzy West. I created this when I attended another one of her classes. I took advantage of the tag we used and thought it needed some rumple ribbon on it to give it that finishing touch.

 

I have the perfect pic of me and some of my friends for this layout!! I just love all the yummy flowers and this paper line "Coffee Break" by Prima. And my pink Rumple Ribbon is the icing on the cake!

I love it! Hope you do too!!

Stephanie's Sweet Birthday Card ♥

Hey y'all & welcome to another Tuesday here at Lovebug Creations! It's Stephanie here to share with you my latest creation.
We are coming up on an extremely heavy birthday month, so I thought I'd start making some cards for family & friends!
Today I have used Honey Mustard  from the Fall for You  collection and Crushed  from the Loves Me...Loves Me Knot collection.

    I wouldn't normally put these two colors together, but they match the scalloped paper perfectly! And the bow looks pretty, I think!
Thanks for letting me share. Be sure to stop by the store to stock up on some gorgeous rumple ribbons!!

 

 

Taking Action With A Wobble - Retirement Card

It's been a long time since I made a card to submit for a challenge, but here goes..........this is a retirement card for a church lady who has given 110% of her time and talents over the last years.  It's now 5 o'clock everyday for her and to celebrate, I created a little something for her special party using an action wobble on the inside for some giggles and grins.

I used two Art Impression Stamps for the focal images on my triple-embossed card plus the following:
*Mama LoveBug's private reserve rumple ribbon
*Sentiments from print and cut from the Cameo store
*Stampin Up embossing folder and cardstock
*Ranger distressed ink
*and of course, an ACTION WOBBLE on the inside

I'm entering this in the Action Wobble Challenge found HERE

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

Dawn Mercedes Is Mixing It Up!!! ♥

Let Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations 

be the focal point on your card

by creating a large rumple bow!

Using two very different colors makes a bold statement.

I used Sunset and Purple-dise.

Use similar colors to make a softer statement.

A fun, flirty, fabulous focal point!

Now, that makes ME happy!!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Be sure to check out the Mama's Mesh 

and Beautiful Blooms today too!

After that, come see what I am doing on my blog,

Stephanie's Sweet Clips ♥

Hey y'all! It's Stephanie here today to share a quick project I made using Lovebug Creations' wonderful rumple ribbons!
I don't know about you, but my fridge is covered with pictures, artwork & invitations! I can never have too many magnets or clips to keep up! So I decided to create a few today.

I used Ocean View from the Bahama Mama collection which you can find in the store & Crushed  from the Loves Me...Loves Me Knot collection.   

These are simple & easy to make & I now feel the need to make dozens more! They would also make a great gift!!

 You can read more about them on my blog.
Have a great Tuesday friends!!

Dawn Mercedes Sweet Teacher's Gift ♥

 

While you are back to school shopping, be sure to check out 

Lovebug Creations' store for your crafty time...for when the kids are in school!!

Here I used a few inches of Mama's Mesh to embellish half a dozen pencils.

After using Removable Glue Dots ® to secure the Mesh, I wrapped it with this vibrant blue Rumple Ribbon, called Ocean's View.  With so many colors to choose from, be sure to get a rainbow for your decorating/gift giving needs!

Add a tag with a cheery note, and you have a memorable first day of school for a teacher gift,

Connie's Simply Fun Card ♥

Hello Lovebugs!!

Connie Can Crop
here with a new project to share using my favorite LoveBug Creations Products!! 

 

I have this crazy card template called a Zig Zag Pop in and Out Card Template. I won it a few years ago at the Expo. I have tried on several occasions to figure this thing out.

Well today is your lucky day! LOL!

I think I did this right. And if I didn't you will never know. Ha!

Here's my Thinking of You card.

 

This is the front view with the card closed.

 

This view shows the card starting to open as you pull  the front to the right.

 

And here is the card opened up completely. You would add your personal message on the back panel which is actually the left side.

 

This was my first attempt at this card and I think it's pretty cool. My 13 year old thought so too. So in my book if a teenager likes it then that is good enough for me!! Hope you liked it too.

 

 This card features lots of gorgeous Simply Red Rumple Ribbon from LoveBug Creations.

 

Other products used:

My Mind's Eye Paper and Diecuts

Buttons

Black ink ctmh

Tim holtz tiny attacher

Stick and pop dots
