Dawn Rene's Ribbon & Chain Necklace ♥

Happy Monday! Dawn Rene here to share another necklace I made with Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon. I selected Sugar Plum and Gentleman's Jacket for the base of the necklace. I added some gemstones and silver chain. The flat oblong stones are black onyx and the silver chain drapes from the ribbon. It closes with a silver toggle clasp.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week....

Dawn Mercedes & Dorcas are Simply Tweet!!! ♥

Are you ready for the 4th of July weekend?  Be sure to treat your hostess to a little hostess gift. Boxes of sparklers will light up the BBQ!  

Here I used Simply Red, Simply, White, and Simply Blue ribbons on the gift tag.

But, this patriotic color combo is great for other events...on other days.

Add a bit of kraft to the mix and you have a sweet card for a friend.  Stock up today on Lovebug Creations' Star Spangled Ribbon Collection today!

Hope your day is simply tweet too!

And now for Dorcas' Project!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning everyone!!!

I don't know about you, but sometimes I find it hard to remember the good things in life. I made this cute little owl card using Sugar Plum rumple ribbon. I hope it brings a smile to your face.


Please swing by my blog! I'd love to see some new faces! :)
 

Dawn Mercedes Pretty Poppy & Dorcas' Pretty Princess ♥

 

Good Morning, Every Buggy!!!!

I made this hair bauble for myself now that my hair is growing out ..and I LOVE it. And...apparently so does my DD (after she saw the finished piece).  I guess it's hers now!

I used a felt base and stitched a large bobble pin into the felt after this flower was made. Simply Red makes such a GREAT poppy flower.

So, I have such a greater respect for all you ribbon flower makers out there!  Here are a couple of tips I learned (the hard way).

1.  Go with the flow.  A flower and it's petals are not perfect. Don't sweat the small stuff.
2.  Be careful with that hot glue!  If you have a strand stick to your ribbon, it will look less than desirable. In that case, read tip #1 again.
3.  Add another layer of ribbon on top of any glue smudges.  Or ACCESSORIZE with Rhinestones!
4. But, if you add hot glue to rhinestones, they might not be as shiny any more. So make a small dab of hot glue, wait 1/2 a second...and THEN add the rhinestone.
5.  Practice makes perfect.  So, buy plenty of your favorite colors of Rumple Ribbons from Lovebug Creations.  Hmmm.... Sunset or Green Leaves will be my next endeavor. Although, I might be snatching that poppy for my own use too!

Have a SIMPLY RED letter day!

Ellen's Thursday Triple Stamp Technique ♥

 

Hello, Rumple Ribbon fans, CardMonkey here with another Thursday card. For this card, I've used a stamping technique called "Triple Stamping." While it may look complicated, it's actually very easy -- I explain the technique on my blog, so hop on over to http://cardmonkeyspaperjungle.com

The card was made even more special by the pretty bow in Lovebug Creations' Rumple Ribbon in one of my favorite colors, "Sugar Plum". Luscious!

Hello Friends!

It's Tuesday so that means that it's me, Christine, and together with Tanya, get to take over the Lovebug Creations blog! Yay! I’ve got some crazy color and patterns going on in my project this week. My inspiration for the colors in this scrapbook layout came from the Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon that the Creative Team just received.

These are brand new colors with a hint of shimmery sparkle and I just love the names: Princess Danika, Lady Jenna and Queen Taylor. You’ll be able to buy this collection "The Royal Shimmer" in the shop on Friday!

Please come over to the Scarlet Calliope blog to see my project and find out who inspired this layout.

See you soon!

Christine

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
