Down the Rabbit Hole with Fun Footz and Digi My World

Hello Crafties, Mama LoveBug here!  Have you tried designing with Clip Art?  If you don't have time or the inclination to color your digi stamps, but need a fun project for a card, layout, or table decoration/display, why not try a wonderful whimsical image from Digi My World?????  Glitz them up with Stickles, gel pens, etc AND don't forget LoveBug Creations Fun Footz Polka Dot Parade!

“I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”

― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

This quote is sooooo true for me as anyone who knows me would tell you, I would have never thought I'd delve into papercrafting or art or anything remotely associated with crafting!  Oh how I've enjoyed this adventure down the rabbit hole...........why not start your journey with clipart or digi stamps or paperpiecing.....the experience is out of this world with endless possibilities.  

Since I am employed at our local library after retiring from a 38-year teaching position, I wanted to breathe some excitement, color, and imagination into an old multi-windowed display case.  To this end I've fashioned many double-sided stand-up cards, which are presented there on a rotating basis....out with the old and on with the new (so to speak).  

For me, I like to fussy cut my images - I printed out Alice twice - one as you see and one in a horizontal flip.  I then adhered each print to Kraft cardstock (don't want her to fall over) and fussy cut two more times.  Hey, with a great pair of scissors (CutterBee), it's not a chore! Then as I said above, you can glitz your character any way you want.  Add some LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon and/or our newest product, Fun Footz, patterned ribbon, and you'll be the talk of your crafty set.

Digi My World has so many delightful and unique images to choose from in clip art and in digi stamp formats.  Journey down that rabbit hole for an utterly wonderful treat - you won't be disappointed!

Have a lovely day.........remember no matter how you piece your paper and rumple your ribbon, have fun with it........cyberhugs......Mama LoveBug.

A Wild Gift Tag - Fun is Afoot

Hello Crafties.  Since our reveal last Friday we've had tons of people WILD for Fun Footz and I wanted to share a gift tag I made with some embellies for a sweet idea to sparkle up a birthday! Drop by our online store HERE and check out the fun for yourself.

I used another zebra patterned FUN FOOTZ ribbon, the zebra paper piecing from PPbN, a red piece of cardstock that I embosssed with tree bark pattern, Kraft cardstock tag die, zebra-striped square through which I treaded Simply Black Rumple Ribbon, a gel pen for highlighting my image, corner rounder, and a computer-generated sentiment:

Happy Birthday Wild Thang!  You Make My Heart Sing!

You could adhere this to a gift bag or box OR use it as a book mark OR place it on the front of a card OR use it on a scrapbook page........diverse possibilities.........remember no matter how you piece your paper and rumple your ribbon, have fun with it...........cyberhugs........Mama LoveBug

Stephanie's Hello With Simply White Rumple Ribbon

Hey buggy friends! Are you all having as hard a time as I am believing that it's the middle of July already?!

Have a great Friday y'all!!!

Ellen + Fun Footz = One Amazing Card ♥

Last week, did you see the sizzling hot, new product releases by Lovebug Creations?

How could you miss them? They're EVERYWHERE, much like mosquitoes hovering over a fishing pond, cicadas singing in their trees, watermelon and kids running in sprinklers...

On this card, I used the fantastic Fun Footz in the "Candy Is Dandy" collection. Hop over to my blog at (http://cardmonkeyspaperjungle.com) to reminisce about your summer days and to learn more about the card I have posted here. Thanks

 

 

 

A Word from Dawn Mercedes & Dorcas' Baby Favors!!! ♥

Sometimes, it only takes one word to let someone know what you are feeling.

Here I used Make a Wish from Gel-a-tins.

Any summer day should be one to celebrate!

Aren't the flowers refreshing?

To tie it all together, I used Green Goddess  Rumple Ribbon

from Lovebug Creations.  

Very summery!  Very inviting!

Pop Up Glue Dots ©...a must for propping up flowers.  Make sure to swing by blog and say hi!!

 

And now for Dorcas' Project

 

Hi friends!

I'm back from a great vacation and wanted to share a super cute treat holder.  I used Simply White Rumple Ribbon for this beauty and paired it with Jaded Blossom's Fancy Topper Die.  I love how this turned out.  They will be favors for a Princess in Progress baby shower.

Swing by my blog and say hello!!

 

She Sells C Shells

She sells C shells? What?

Are you ready to use up some of the sea shells you collected on vacation? I have a project on the Scarlet Calliope blog that is easy and fun and Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon gives it the perfect finishing touch!

Come on over to see the tutorial. Have a wonderfully creative Tuesday, friends!
