Stephanie's Summer Birthday Tags ♥

Hey Lovebug friends! It's Stephanie here to share another crafty creation with you. While the summer may be winding down, we are staying as busy as ever! Ty has been invited to many friends' birthday parties, so I thought it necessary to make some birthday tags!

  I have used Simply White & Simply Grey rumple ribbons from the Just the Basics collection on my first tag. Next I used Caddy Blue from the Island Breeze collection on the middle tag & lastly, I used a bit of Simply Grey and "Icy Sky" (which has been retired) on my third tag. These were quick to make but I love the way they turned out! A simple & fun touch to adorn any birthday gift!!
You can read more on my blog.
Thanks for letting me share with you today!

 

 

Happy Birthday - Say It With Grunge

Please note due to death in our family and a health issue, the LoveBug Creations store will be closed until tomorrow, July 8.  Thank you to our customers and fans who have responded with kind words of concern!

Happy Birthdays are the most joyous of events for crafting and adding a bit of holiday grunge to a project really makes it special.

Mama LoveBug here today with a tag greeting card and a homemade box with a special birthday greeting for a work colleague.

Happy Almost Birthday to Melissa!!

Welcome to the first day of our new CT presentations!  I am so excited to craft with the lovely ladies whose names and blog links are found on the right side of our blog - give them a shout-out!!

Happy Birthday to our daughter, Melissa - she'll be celebrating her big event on June 10!  Mama LoveBug here to share my birthday greetings with you.  Birthdays are so much fun to craft and share.  I really enjoy creating something that I hope will stand the test of time and be appreciated as a sincere expression of love!

Ok, so you know I love, love, love paper dolls and I bought a set of stamps, Janie's Paper Dolls from Paper Wishes, that has multiple girls of varying sizes.  I stamped this one three times - one for body, one for hair, and one for dress.  I then fussy cut and pieced together this gal as my focal point. Before I adhered her to the card I adhered this lovely to a piece of cardboard and cut the whole thing out again - I do this to make a sturdier doll that won't fall off or come apart.

I next used LoveBug Creations Mama's Mesh (pinky/purple HERE) and an LBC large hot pink Beautiful Bloom HERE.  The hand-dyed mesh gives such wonderful texture and the bloom is so light-weight but dynamic in it's presence plus the blooms come in different sizes to accommodate your crafting needs!

The coordinating card base was from Stampin UP as well as the next dry embossed mat with xoxox.  I had a new script stamp that fit well as the next layer.  My birthday sentiment was from my stamp stash.  I finshed this off with a bit of gel-pen accenting.

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

Mama LoveBug's Mama - It's Your Birthday!!

It's your birthday, mama and so happy you are celebrating 92 years of living!!  

This is Mama LoveBug here today to say............Happy Birthday to my Mama!!

Mama's Rose and Peach Blossom from the Southern Sass LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon HERE
 are two of the ingredients in my tag greeting card in a box - mine has magnets on the back so it will adhere to a mirror for my mom!!

Add to this a straw, a big SVG flower, some lovely sentiments, and a paper doll (Janie's Dolls from Paper Wishes) and lots of love for Mom.

When I was a very little girl my mom introduced me to the joys of paper dolls - we would spend lots of time cutting them out by hand and dressing them up.  My long-standing love for all things paper doll has grown from that.  For this doll I stamped her three times to get the skin tone, the dress, and the hair from various papers and then I pieced her together.  When the project was finished, I sprayed it with Goosebumps Shimmer Spray for some sparkle and shine.  I added the magnet to the back and voila - my project for today.

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

Hi Lovebugs!

Dorcas from Crafty Card Angel here to share a great project.  Yesterday was my friend, Allison's, birthday.  She's a beautiful young woman who we always joke was switched at birth.  We are so much alike it's scary.  Well, I decided to make her a gift card holder for her Marshall's gift card.  There is no one more stylish than she is.  She truly is beautiful inside and out.

I used the beautiful I Love Grunge rumple ribbon to decorate the front of this gift card holder.  It blended perfectly!
