Thinking of You Card - For a Special Friend

Mama LoveBug here this overcast Wednesday with a Thinking of You card.

I bet you know of someone who could use a pick-me-up today!

Craft with a bit of Garden Green from the Gardens of Tara Collection of LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon HERE and a bit of hot pink Mama's Mesh to start.

Add a Julie Nutting Prima Mixed Media card doll, and a sentiment and flower that comes with the stamp; use a MCT watercolor stamp for some intriguing vertical lines on white cardstock from Stampin Up.  

Thinking of you can be for many things - use your imagination and come up with something oh so dynamic to share with a friend!!

Teaming Up Mama's Mesh and Rumple Ribbon - Mama LoveBug Style & Ellen Makes Our Day ♥

Good Morning, Crafties!  With Mother's Day in my rear view mirror, I thought I'd better share some ideas:
1. Mama's Mesh and LBC Rumple Ribbon - team them up for some texture and variety
2. A fun fussy cut purse I created for my own mother.  The purse has been cut out twice using the beautiful Robin's Nest Sorbet blue raspberry paper.  A white lunch bag (cut in half) was adhered between the purse cuts so I'd have a little treat bag to put in pictures of her great-grandchildren (she really liked that!!)
3. Jaded Blossom die - useful in so many projects when you want a neat shape for a sentiment

See how the textures really make for a fun project and on the bottom add more Mama's Mesh and some decorative flower embellies

Add a butterfly punched sentiment and you've got something unique!

I bet you can create something along these lines that will brighten up somebody's day...........remember no matter how you piece your paper and rumple your ribbon, have fun with it..........cyberhugs........Mama LoveBug

AND NOW FOR ELLEN'S PROJECT!!!

 

Good morning, Rumple Ribbon fans -- it's me, Ellen ♥ CardMonkey back with another card featuring a favorite color ... and a great trendy color combination: yellow, yellow green, gray and white.  Isn't it just fresh!? 

I'm LOVING my Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon in Green Goddess for this card.  Find out more about it on my blog, at http://cardmonkeyspaperjungle.com

Mama's Shout Out To The Robin's Nest & Ellen's Manly Birthday Card ♥

Good Day, Crafties!  Did you know that The Robin's Nest has some really cool sorbet paper and clear dew drops? With these products you can make some really awesome paper crafting projects!

Shop by (yes I said shop) The Robin's Nest HERE and check out some amazing things!!
-Blue Raspberry Glitter Sorbet paper
-Clear dew drops
-Sooooooo much more

Here is my project:

I used the beautiful blue raspberry glitter sorbet paper for my triple-stamped card and a piece of Kraft paper for the mats; I stamped butterfly images and flowers on Whisper White SU paper.  Next I punched out 2 butterflies and distress-inked them with a lighter blue and popped one on top of the other for dimension.  I adhered the clear dew drops from The Robin's Nest onto the the centers of the stamped butterflies and the punched-out ones and had fun using Stickles to add some glitz on these.  I finished off the Thinking of You card with a double-bow of LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon which you can see HERE

Just in case you want the triple-stamp dimensions so you can make your own card, here they are:
Dimensions for the stamped layers - 1 each
2" x 3-1/4"
3" x 4-1/4"
4" x 5-1/4"
Dimensions for the cardstock mat layers - 1 each
2-1/4" x 3-1/2"
3-1/4" x 4-1/2"
5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (fold for card base to get a great crease).......and have lots of fun stamping and decorating

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

AND NOW FOR ELLEN'S PROJECT

 

Hi Rumple Ribbon friends! It's Ellen CardMonkey back with another card that features one of my very favorite accents: Lovebug Creations' Rumple Ribbon -- this one in "Eyes of Blue".

Do you have as much difficulty as I do coming up with masculine cards? I usually cop out and buy those cards -- the guys never seem to appreciate the time put into custom cards anyway. Or is it just my guys?? Well I have a friend who rides a Hog (Harley-Davidson), and I thought maybe he would like this ...

 

The outside of the card is fairly simple; that elegant blue edge is the Rumple Ribbon. I love how it blends with the Close To My Heart "Later Sk8r" paper. Inside, the motorcycle on the move actually pops up from the card when it's opened. Pop on over to my blog for more deets.



Paper Piecings by Nikki DT Offering - Have a Great Day

Welcome Crafties!  Since Christmas is in my rear view mirror, it's time to think of other events or occasions for sharing Paper Piecings by Nikki collections.  It's cold outside so I wanted to fashion a card with "warmer themes" like bikes and flowers - spring can't come too soon! With that in mind I decided to use a PPbN digi stamp to create a "thinking of you" card.

This is a triple-stamped card using the following items:
*SU cardstock and Kraft cardstock for card base and mats; Whisper White for stamp mats
*Bicycle, sentiment, and flower stamps from my stamp stash
*PPbN digi bear - Beary Special Digi Stamp Set
*Colored pencils, gel pen, Stickles
*LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon - check out our Ribbon Collections

Remember, no matter how you piece your paper or rumple your ribbon, have fun with it........Happy New Year............Mama LoveBug.

Paper Piecings by Nikki DT Offering - Owl Be Thinking of You

I love the creative and unique set of owls that Paper Piecings by Nikki has designed in the collection called Owl Be There For You.  It sports a generous number of owls and can be used for many different paper crafting techniques and occasions.  Today I'm using the idea of an Owl Be Thinking of YOU.  I bet you can imagine someone whom you're thinking about for whatever reason - what a perfect idea for a card to let somebody know you care!

I fussy cut the owl and added gel-pen highlights.  My triple-stamped card is made with various SU products - cardstock, ink, harvest leaves and acorns, a sentiment - thinking of you - and ribbon.

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

Paper Piecings by Nikki DT Offering - Thinking of You

Good Monday, Crafties.  Today is the day for a PPbN DT offering and Mama LoveBug decided to make a card for a "Thinking of You" moment.  Often times we crafters know someone who needs a little comfort and support; some times just learning that one is in the thoughts of another can be uplifting - a big positive boost.  So with that in mind, I designed such a card with a cute, big doggie from a PPbN collection called You Can Always Lean On Me!!

The PPbN online store can be found at http://www.paperpiecingsbynikki.com/

Here's my care/share card for today:

Tuesday, September 4, is Team A of PPbN's DT hop with the theme of Back to School.  Save the date for some examples of what wonderful things YOU can do with these unique, dynamic paper piecings!

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

What's Mama Been Doing Lately?

I have been busy crafting several projects and wanted to share them w/you.  The first is a card for a friend who has suffered a health setback.  I'm thinking of you Jera Mae!

The next cards are for my grandchildren (this was a crafting of love) - 4 girls and 2 boys - so each will receive Halloween treats and a handmade card.

And last, but certainly not least is more wearable art - the brooches are really fun to make and each one is unique.
