September Birthday Cards w/ Stephanie ♥

Hey y'all &  happy September! Well, the summer is officially over now. My kids went back to school today. We were all a bit sad & none of us were ready for summer to end. But the fall brings many exciting days & adventures! And at our house, it brings LOTS of birthdays too!
I have created a couple birthday cards using Lovebug Creations' rumple ribbons.

I used Icy Sky on both of my cards today. This color is now retired, but you can find many amazing ribbons in the store. And you can read more about these cards on my blog.

Thanks for letting me share with you today! Stay crafty!!

 

 

 

Stephanie's Sweet Birthday Card ♥

Hey y'all & welcome to another Tuesday here at Lovebug Creations! It's Stephanie here to share with you my latest creation.
We are coming up on an extremely heavy birthday month, so I thought I'd start making some cards for family & friends!
Today I have used Honey Mustard  from the Fall for You  collection and Crushed  from the Loves Me...Loves Me Knot collection.

    I wouldn't normally put these two colors together, but they match the scalloped paper perfectly! And the bow looks pretty, I think!
Thanks for letting me share. Be sure to stop by the store to stock up on some gorgeous rumple ribbons!!

 

 

Monday With Mama LoveBug - Center Step and Simply Sheer

Birthdays have a way of making us all take a step forward in life - so why not consider making a center step card for a lovely birthday surprise.

Mama LoveBug here this Monday to say that LoveBug Creations Simply Sheer (white) is so elegant that it will dress up any project you create and assist you in making any project take center stage!! 

This is a center step card for such an occasion.

Stitch Up With Tanya Hahn ♥

Happy Day, Tanya H from Crafting On Caffeine, and today is my day here!  I'm excited to bring you a cute stitch-up cupcake Birthday Card.

I used  Rumple Ribbon but I cut it in half for the cherry and frosting to give it more definition.

As you can see,  you can use any color you want to create your own.

Please stop by my blog for all the details! See you soon!

Hope you Enjoyed this and gives you ideas to create your own.

Thanks for stoping by and Taking a Look! And be sure to play along with us at the Lovebug Lounge on Facebook Monthly challenges!!

 

 

Happy Almost Birthday to Melissa!!

Welcome to the first day of our new CT presentations!  I am so excited to craft with the lovely ladies whose names and blog links are found on the right side of our blog - give them a shout-out!!

Happy Birthday to our daughter, Melissa - she'll be celebrating her big event on June 10!  Mama LoveBug here to share my birthday greetings with you.  Birthdays are so much fun to craft and share.  I really enjoy creating something that I hope will stand the test of time and be appreciated as a sincere expression of love!

Ok, so you know I love, love, love paper dolls and I bought a set of stamps, Janie's Paper Dolls from Paper Wishes, that has multiple girls of varying sizes.  I stamped this one three times - one for body, one for hair, and one for dress.  I then fussy cut and pieced together this gal as my focal point. Before I adhered her to the card I adhered this lovely to a piece of cardboard and cut the whole thing out again - I do this to make a sturdier doll that won't fall off or come apart.

I next used LoveBug Creations Mama's Mesh (pinky/purple HERE) and an LBC large hot pink Beautiful Bloom HERE.  The hand-dyed mesh gives such wonderful texture and the bloom is so light-weight but dynamic in it's presence plus the blooms come in different sizes to accommodate your crafting needs!

The coordinating card base was from Stampin UP as well as the next dry embossed mat with xoxox.  I had a new script stamp that fit well as the next layer.  My birthday sentiment was from my stamp stash.  I finshed this off with a bit of gel-pen accenting.

Remember no matter how you bunch your blooms, rumple your ribbon, and piece your paper, have fun with it...............cyber happy crafting............Mama LoveBug

Stephanie & Katie's Sweet Take-Over ♥

Hey Lovebug friends!
I hope you all are staying warm where you are. It has gotten cold & snowed again here. I am more than ready for Spring! And I think my first card reflects just  that.
Today is my favorite aunt's birthday so I made her this:

I used Simply Blue from the Star Spangled collection and added a gemstone from my stash in the center.

Tomorrow my husband & I will celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary! So I couldn't let the day pass without making a card for him also:

   Here I used the On the Edge ribbon in Caddy Blue. I chose the tan rumple ribbon with the edges in blue. Love this collection!
You can read more about both if these cards on my blog.
Thanks for letting me share with you! Make it a great day!!

Katie

The happiest days are when babies are born!!  This pretty card is for my coworker and his wife's pending little bundle.  Simply White Rumple Ribbon was just the touch this card needed to keep it soft.

 

Kristi's Watercolor Delight & Christine's Lucky Pincushion ♥

 

Hello Lovebuggies! Kristi here from Little Paper Sprinkles!

For my project today I tried to some new things! 

I tried watercoloring! It was so fun, I think I am hooked!

Caddy Blue Rumple Ribbon was the perfect pairing with this cute little bird and cupcake!

Happy Hump Day!!!

Hope it's warm and toasty where you are!!!
Here in Ohio...It's very cold! In fact it's about 30 degrees BELOW normal for this time of year! I don't know about you but I'm beyond ready for spring!!!

But since that's nowhere in sight I'll just enjoy the cheery projects the CT made and think warm thoughts!! ♥

 

Stephanie

Hey every"buggy"! I hope you are having a great day & are hopefully finding time to be crafty!!
I have another birthday card to share with you today. Another good friend had a birthday yesterday, so I made this card for her:

I used rumple ribbon in William, which is from the "Oh Cecilia, Family Ties" collection. 

To see more about this card, visit my blog. 

Thanks for letting me share with you today! See you next week!

 

 

Katie

I needed a little book to keep track of some notes and hopefully add a few pics to later.  I used those great red #10 envelopes from a few weeks ago.  There are three envelopes folded in half with the tiniest tip of the ends cut so I have room to put the little note cards in.

All three page sets are the same, Key paper matted on the front, animal print inside, then the more open space and the little pocket on the back page.

Nothing better to use as a closure than Rumple Ribbon.  For this project the Edgy Halloween with that kind of smoky edge is about perfect.  Get yours here.

Here is the cover - with a big button to use as a 'wrap around' for the ribbon.  For a few more photos please feel free to stop by the blog

Happy Hump Day Lovebug Friends!

Have you made any shaker cards using Lovebug Creations ribbons or mesh?  Be sure to share in the Lovebug Lounge, we'd love to see them!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

And speaking of the Lovebug Lounge....There's 2 days left to get your challenge project posted!!! Anything Valentine's Related with any LBC product!!! Hope to see yours there! ♥



 



Rainbow Birthday Card by Kimi ♥

 

Hello Every-Buggy!!! It's Kimi (I know...How odd I've made 2 cards in a week!) again!!! My oldest daughter's best friend celebrated her birthday yesterday and I wanted to make her a card! Gave me a good excuse to actually craft ;)

 

My daughter told me she likes rainbows and I had just seen SVG Cutting Files had come out with a Rainbow Stitch Up! Now when I went to her store to purchase I noticed the write up about this said that it was a "great way to use your twine or floss". Ok...Being the Rumple Ribbon Queen I had to try it...I wasn't sure I'd be able to do it but..... I LOVE how it turned out! SO...Let it be known...Rumple Ribbon is a great product to use on the stitch up files too!!! :)

 

Rumple Ribbon Colors used - Rosebud, Sunset, Lemonade, Olive You, Simply Blue & a sneak peek of a new shade of purple :)

 

I also used some of my favorite Jaded Blossom products: Simple Sayings (the Happy Birthday) & their new Spring Dies (for the grass)

 

Heidi Grace papers and epoxy embellishments along with some pop dots finished this sweet birthday card off!!! I hope you enjoy this and that maybe it will inspire you to try something different!!!

 

Bug hugs,

Kimi
