Dawn Mercedes Poppy Tutorial ♥

Hi! This is Dawn Mercedes from Sunnyside Up!

Using a Box Flower tutorial, I created poppies

 out of Simple Red Mama's Mesh from Lovebug Creations!

Very simply..

cut out four circles. (I used a die.)

Fold each circle in half and arrange them as you might fold down four box flaps.

I used red thread and put in a few stitches to secure my flower together.

Then, I sewed on a sunny yellow button!

The Green Leaves rumple ribbon was attached using Glue Dots...and I love the look

of the rumply leaves!  Poppy leaves are sort of jaggety!  

Don't you just LOVE poppies? 

I do!

Remember, this month, we want to see what kinds of flowers you can make using ribbons

and mesh from the Lovebug Creation's site!

Thanks for remembering us today!

Remember what comes this weekend...

Hey Lovebug friends!

I have a Valentine project to share today that I made for my son.

The hearts are hand-cut & I added rumple ribbon in "Butterfly Blue" which is now retired, but check out the other amazing colors in the store. This little Valentine is filled with "love notes" to Ty. You can read more about it on my blog.

Have a great Wednesday!

We've Got A Secret - Santa Arrived Early!!

Hello Crafties!  

LoveBug Creations Creative Team decided to share some well-deserved love with our teammates so we have a post today as a Secret Santa Surprise.  Each participating member was to create something for the holidays and include a special something for the recipient, but we can't tell who the lucky gal is just yet.......so here's what we created.

Mama LoveBug fashioned this..............the gal who gets this is extra-special in every thing she does.......hmm I wonder who she is?  I'll give one hint - she's a super crafter with lots of great ideas and a heart as big as the sun!

Recipe

*2 12 x 12 Echo Park patterned papers cut in a criss-cross horizontal style (enough to make another card as well)

*Sentiment from my stamp stash

*Snowman punch

*Sherri Baldy Bestie sitting on fence - gel pen and watercolor pencils

*Jaded Blossom tag die

*LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon

 

 

Kimi

Oh how fun this is!! I can't wait to see what the others made!!! I bet I'll be hoping each and every one of them is my Secret Santa!!!!

 

For my lucky lady I made a LapBook

using the tutorial from Kathy Orta!!

OH MY!

This is so much fun to make!

(don't tell but I totally screwed up several times and added my own Kimi style to it!)

But I do adore the finished effect...

so much so that I don't want to part with it...

BUT

I will! ;)

 

Here's a photo of the cover! LOTS of Lovebug Creations Simply Red Rumple Ribbon, pearls, Jaded Blossom "Gingerbread Wishes" and I believe Basic Grey papers!

 

and here's the video!!

Sorry it was late night and I was rushing a bit!

But it still shows all the cool interactive features of this!!!

 

Hope you've enjoyed!!

with

Dawn Mercedes & Connie!!!

Sit back and be inspired!!

 

Dawn Mercedes

Fall is the time for colors and gratitude...

and lots and lots of leaves to rake!

Here, I cut up a Mama's Mesh in a variety of colors to create leaves falling

down the side of the card.  The brown and yellow are soon to be released colors.

But you can order Sunset, Green Leaves and Crazy Coral now!

Oh, and that bow... Purple-dise!

Just twirl it up a bit and it will roll up nicely!

Hello My Fellow LoveBugs!!

Connie with Connie Can Crop here.

Monday's Are Fabulous w/ Ellen, Connie and Dawn Mercedes!!! ♥

It's Monday and you know what that means...

time to sit back and be inspired by

Ellen, Connie and Dawn Mercedes!!!

 

First up is Ellen

Ellen (CardMonkey) has blogged before about how she likes to take cards that are part of a pre-designed kit, and make them special.  Today, she shows another that she's dressed up with Lovebug Creations' Rumple Ribbon.

"As was once said in an advertisement, things go better with ...." ... Rumple Ribbons, Ellen says in her post. Go to her blog to read more about stimulating your mojo with kits, and also about a fun and unique CardMonkey CardStock Club she's founded. 

The sunflower Rumple Ribbon makes this card, don't you think?  Everything else is kit-designed from Jillibean Soup's Card Kitchen, using papers this month from Jenni Bowlin Studio. 

Next up: Connie

Hello Fellow LoveBugs!!
Connie Can Crop here with a Belated Birthday Card for one of our very own CT members

and finally: Dawn Mercedes

Whooooo says Mama's Mesh has to stay in a straight line?

Here I used Sunset and Green Leaves...cut it up, sponged a little ink on for dimension...

and presto-magic!  You've got a pumpkin!!

 

WOWZAA! They've outdone themselves today, huh?

Love my team and I hope they have

inspired you to try something new!!!

 

Bug hugs,

Kimi

 

 

 

Dawn Rene's Beautiful Birthday Card ♥

Happy Monday! Dawn Rene here sharing a card I made with birthday Bestie and Lovebug Creations' Rumple Ribbon. 

I colored the Bestie stamp with Copic markers. I rolled the rumple ribbon to make the flowers using the Green Leaves and Sunflower ribbon. I added a couple bows with the Simply White. I think I put white, black or grey ribbon on everything I create!

Have a great week!

Dorcas & Dawn Mercedes Celebrate Birthdays & Back to School ♥

Hi everyone!

We recently celebrated my sister's birthday.  My daughter wanted to give her a gift, so we quickly packaged up some cute hair clips (because hers had broken) and we tied it with ballet slippers rumple ribbon.  I have been dying to use the Jaded Blossom Flag die and decided to use this striped paper straw and create a flag for it.  I think it's cute.  What do you think?

 

Don't forget to visit my blog too!

 

and now for Dawn Mercedes' project

 

Getting ready to ship those kiddos off to school? 

Why not make a little pocket for them to tuck in their new pencils.

(Or gift to a teacher...who can never have enough in her stash!)

Here I used the Apple Treat Box svg file

from The Cutting Cafe.  Cut two apples and two stems. 

Just remember to "flip" the image if you are using printed paper 

so that your shapes are mirror images.

That way, they line up when you line them up.

Green Leaves Rumple Ribbon is the perfect color for implied apple leaves!

And, your student, or teacher, will have a smile on their face every time 

they need to get out a new pencil!

Dawn Rene's Amazing Upside Down Tag ♥

 

Happy Monday!  Dawn Rene here sharing a tag I made with rumpled ribbon from Lovebug Creations. On Pinterest I saw a tag someone had made that was upside down - loved the idea - so I thought I would give it a try.

The rumpled ribbon decorates the top and bottom of the card. I used the colors: Spice Autumn, Sunflower, Rosebud, and Green Leave which you can buy here.

Have a great week. Thanks for stopping by!

Ellen's Amazing 8 ♥

Hello, Rumple Ribbon Fans, it's me -- CardMonkey -- back for another Thursday post. 

For today's post, I decided to challenge myself to make as many cards as I could in 3 hours out of a single pack of 6x6" paper, 4 pieces of white 12x12" paper for backing, and some embellishments including my favorite Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbons.  

Here are the 8 cards I designed and created in a short amount of time. I still have plenty of the 6x6" pack left, as well as some of the embellishments:

  
Come over to my blog to see each of the cards individually, including the three on which I used Rumple Ribbons (in Green Leaves, Simply White, and Caddy Blue), and to learn a little more about how I made each of these.

AND NOW FOR DORCAS' PROJECT

It's summertime!  My kids love pinwheels, so I made this little card for them to take a Wii break.  I hope you enjoy the use of the Olive You rumple ribbon and Kiwi Glitter Sorbet collection glitter paper from The Robin's Nest.  It's a great color and I seem to be gravitating towards it lately.  Enjoy!

The colors don't look so great, but they are wonderful in person!
