Sneak Peek Day 1 - LBC Wild Thang

Are you looking for the Celebrate Freedom Blog Hop?  If so go HERE

Welcome Crafties - It's Mama LoveBug here to start sneak peek week for LoveBug Creations.  We have a new product that will be officially launched on Friday, July 12, during our LBC Blog Hop so mark that on your crafty want-to-see calendar.

During the sneak peek week (say that fast 3x), the CT and Pals will be showing you something really fun to add to your craft arsenal AND there's blog candy for the Sneak Peek Week AND the LBC Hop on Friday - so that's TWO prizes for two lucky crafties (each a $10 certificate to our store).

My project started out with a triple-stamp card base of Zebra Kraft paper (see dimensions below), a darling digi stamp from Paper Shelter called "Maniac", various stamps from my stamp stash, my Star Dust gel pen, a computer-generated sentiment, and something else - can you spot that?

Did you spot something Wild?? Stay tuned each day as LoveBug Creations reveals a little more info on our new product.


Here's the dimensions and some info on how to use this technique to make a card of your own:

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)

For me it was very helpful to have this dimension guide - no guess work!!

BLOG CANDY ALERT - for a $10 gift certificate during this Sneak Peek Week - become a fan and leave a bit of blog love on each poster's blog site (for me it's here) and tell me in which movie the Maniac appeared??  OR Do you own a pair of leg warmers?

I have an eclectic, whimsical style and as for cards I tend to enjoy crafting triple-stamped cards. I found that using that design lends itself to experimentation with stamps, different sprays and mists.  I recently discovered Mr. Huey sprays and used several with a circular mask to create this card.  The centerpiece of the card is actually a sticker I had in my stash.  


First I'll give you the dimensions and some info on how to use this technique to make a card of your own:

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)

For me it was very helpful to have this dimension guide - no guess work!!


After cutting the card stock and mats, I lightly adhered them together and placed the mask on top.  I sprayed some Mr Huey in Ocean and Peppermint and then adhered our LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon (the Old Glory Collection found HERE) AND some LBC Mama's Mesh on the mats. I cut these strips to lay between the top two layers and fashioned two bows for the top and bottom of the center panel.  Here's my Celebrate Freedom project:

You too can use your crafty mojo to design something to Celebrate Freedom!!

Now let's move the parade to see what's happening with HAIDEE

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!

Dawn Mercedes, of Sunnyside Up

 

 

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! :)
 

Christine's Great Escape!!! ♥

Happy Tuesday Lovebug Creations Fans!

How is your summer going so far? Hot? Are you ready for an escape?

Sail away with me and take a little voyage to see a shabby chic sailboat on the Scarlet Calliope blog.

Dawn Rene's Simply the Best{ie} ♥

Happy Monday! Dawn Rene here with you today.... Last weekend I felt in the mood to color with my Copic markers. I find it very relaxing. This is birthstone Bestie and July's birthstone is a ruby!

The rest of the card is decorated with lots of goodie - including (of course) Lovebug Creations rumpled ribbons! I thought the Mae ribbon from the Oh Cecilia collection went well with her. I love the colors in the Oh Cecilia collection. They are very versatile - can be vintage, shabby chic, fall, festive, grungy! I added a touch of Simply White from the Just the Basics collection too!

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