Mama LoveBug: The PBD stamp set I was assigned is Orange You Awesome - this set has many fruits and sentiments that coordinate with them and, of course, these stamps go so well with our LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon.  I created a triple-stamped card and a gift tag. Hopefully you too will be inspired to use your crafty mojo designs with these products.

 Recipe for the triple-stamped card:
*Triple-stamped technique
* PBD Orange You Awesome Stamp Set - the banana, happy faces, and sentiment
*DCWV Creamy Cardstock
*Spellbinder die
*Stickles (yellow), bling, and frog sticker - I'm joining the All That Stickles Linky Party
*Butterfly punch
*SU inks and whisper white cardstock
*Stardust gel pen
*Puffy banana sticker with googly eyes
*Lemonade LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon for woven effect around the spellbinder die

Recipe for the gift tags:
*PBD Orange You Awesome stamp set - strawberry, sentiment, and happy faces
*DCWV Creamy Cardstock
*Base layer of Kraft paper for sturdiness on center tag
*Stickles, strawberry paper from my stash
*Spellbinder dies
*Puffy strawberry sticker with happy face
*Stardust gel pen
*LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon for the double bow and weaving on the spellbinder die on right

Hey Everyone!!!

Kimi here....

Weren't Mama Lovebug's Projects just too cute? Love em both!

I want to share with you all a card I made! If you didn't know I just got the Cameo on Thursday. It stayed in the box all day (sad I know!) so today I finally got it out! I knew I wanted to use it to make my project for today...What I didn't expect was how difficult it was going to be to do even the simplest thing!

I'm so used to my Cricut Imagine that this was a whole new ball of wax for me!

I spent so much time in the Silhouette store looking at everything and trying to find just the right image to compliment the "Bracketful" Pink by Design Stamp Set that I used (LOVE this set!!!)

So my project isn't what I wanted it to be but I think it's cute! And I know the teams are going to wow you with their projects!
