Some Fancy Cards by Dawn Mercedes ♥

I dug out another old, but dear,Stampin Up stamp set:  Sage Advice.

Here is some Sage Advice for you...

Get over and check out all the fantastic colors at the Lovebug Creations site!

Pick out six of your favorites...and buy yourself a spring treat!

Since I had so much color in the background, today I used Buttercream Rumple Ribbon.

This fancy fold is called a Double Dutch fold.

Pretty fun, don't you think!

Here is a card I made using Simply Sheer Ribbon:

This sheer ribbon adds a bit of color and shimmer, but keeps your card/project light and airy!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have an enjoyable Easter Holiday this weekend!

If you have a moment, feel free to stop by my blog, Sunnyside Up and do the bunny hop with me!

 

 

Stephanie & Katie Take Over PLUS Lots of Winners!!!! ♥

Hey y'all! I hope Spring has arrived in your corner of the world. It is absolutely gorgeous here!

Spring is a busy time for birthdays and celebrations -Mother's Day, graduation, Father's Day, just to name a few. So I will be busy card-making for awhile!

My daughter's BFF is turning 13 on Friday!! It's so hard to believe! We have known her since she was 2. I made her this card:

I used the new "Spring Lilac" rumple ribbon. I love this color so very much (even though I am not a huge fan of purple)! It is so light & fresh looking. And my daughter's friend's favorite color is purple!! 

You can see more about this card on my blog.

See you next week!

Hey friends! I hope you are all enjoying a beautiful Fall day in your neck of the woods. It's absolutely gorgeous here!

Today I have (another) birthday card to share. This one was created for my niece who will be 17 on Monday! It was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest.

 I used Simply White rumple ribbon to tie together the "candles". You can see more about this card on my blog.

Thanks for letting me share with you today!

   

Katie

I made a super girly card topped off by the beautiful Butter Cream Rumple Ribbon.  I was going for that Pretty Vintage look and Lovebug ribbons really fit that mold.

I cut the DCWV paper for this card to really highlight the paper.  I then distressed and crumpled and layered on pretty embellies.  If you would like some more details on this card, please check my blog for details.

Happy Friday Lovebug Friends!

Kathy, from Kathy and Kids, and today I'd like to share with you my project for the new challenge that is going on in the Lovebug Lounge.

 

I made a 3D Cauldron filled with treats, and used a little "Halloween Grunge" Rumple Ribbon on it.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Up first is Kathy!!

Hi Lovebug Fans!

 

I'm super excited to be sharing my first ever project as a Lovebug Designer!

 

Today I'd like to share with you a pair of Royal Gift Tags that I made. 

 

Supplies

 

Paper is from the DCWV "Luxury" stack

Tags are cut using the Jaded Blossom "Treat Tag" die

Princess is from the Jaded Blossom "100% Princess" stamp set

Prince is from the Jaded Blossom "Knight Bites" stamp set

 

and of course we can't forget the beautiful Rumple Ribbon!

I used "Panther Pink", "Simply White", and "Simply Grey"

 

Thanks for stopping by!

 

And now for Katie's Project!!!

WAHOOO!!!  My first post for Love Bug Creations.  I am so honored to be a part of this time.  I am working on a large 3D project all about romance and memories.  I am going to need to some clips to hold pictures so I upcycled some clothes pins for this project.  I ruffled and looped Simply Black  rumple ribbon and hot glued it to the pins.

Then.... I blinged 'em up!  I just love how these turned out and can't wait to get the next piece together for you.  You can look for a new project using the amazing products from Love Bug Creations every Friday!!

 For this one, I just looped the ribbon over and over to make a kind of flower.  You can see the edge of the next one where I also used Buttercream on a couple of them.  This pretty pink resin rose came from Michaels.

 Most of the pins have a round focal point so I wanted a couple to be different.  I ran a bead of hot glue down the pin and just gathered it to make this effect.  This string of bing is from my stash (I might have lifted it off a swap)

Come back tomorrow for the Wicked Hop!!

 

Next up is Christine!!!!

Happy Friday!

Christine here to share some easy and spooky Halloween decorations. I made some vintage-style witches hats using gorgeous Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon and some paper from my stash.

These hats can be left simple and elegant with just a bit of Rumple Ribbon or you can dress them up with your favorite trims. Please come over to the Scarlet Calliope blog to see my BeWitching Hat Tutorial and find out which Rumple Ribbons I used!

Christine Barker

Ellen's Beautiful Smile!!!! ♥

Buttercream Rumple Ribbon takes center stage today on this adorable kit card that Ellen/CardMonkey modified to personalize.

Changing up a Card Kitchen kit card by Jillibean Soup, Ellen added a pretty pink button topped by a navy dotted fabric flower from Close To My Heart. She moved the sticker from the kit to be next to the button, and changed up standard ribbon in the kit for one of her favorite Rumple Ribbons.

Hop by to Ellen's blog if you'd like more information.
