Stephanie's Summer Birthday Tags ♥

Hey Lovebug friends! It's Stephanie here to share another crafty creation with you. While the summer may be winding down, we are staying as busy as ever! Ty has been invited to many friends' birthday parties, so I thought it necessary to make some birthday tags!

  I have used Simply White & Simply Grey rumple ribbons from the Just the Basics collection on my first tag. Next I used Caddy Blue from the Island Breeze collection on the middle tag & lastly, I used a bit of Simply Grey and "Icy Sky" (which has been retired) on my third tag. These were quick to make but I love the way they turned out! A simple & fun touch to adorn any birthday gift!!
You can read more on my blog.
Thanks for letting me share with you today!

Being the mother of four daughters, I have always tried to pass the love around, trying never to favor one versus the other.  I'm very proud of all my girls, two of whom are super mothers in their own right!
My Mama Mia will be 92 in another month and she is the very best mom in the world!! My favorite memories revolve around food as she is an outstanding cook; my particular favorite is her homemade spaghetti and meatballs - world class!! Since I'm an only child, I always have her undivided and unconditional love as she has mine!

My first project is a Mother's Day card for my own Mama Mia using one of my favorite styles -

Triple Stamping!

Everything's Coming Up Roses For You, Mama Mia!

For those of you who want to create a triple-stamped card, here are the dimensions I used:

Dimensions for the stamped layers - 1 each

2" x 3-1/4"

3" x 4-1/4"

4" x 5-1/4"

Dimensions for the cardstock mat layers - 1 each

2-1/4" x 3-1/2"

3-1/4" x 4-1/2"

5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (fold and score at 4-1/2" for card base to get a great crease).......and have lots of fun stamping and decorating

Next, I thought I'd try something new (for me) - quadruple stamping and here's my first attempt:

Quadruple the Love - For My Daughters

I was looking for a tutorial on this and
found one at Krafting Kreations HERE

Dawn Mercedes' Magnificent Mason Jar & Dorcas' Special Gift For Sister ♥

 

 

Want to upcycle a little decor piece for your home?  Click on over to my blog for all the details on how to tint a mason jar!  Here I used Sunset Rumple Ribbon.  My first favorite. Good thing I let my self have many, many favorites!!

Now, do I fill this with candy corn...or sun flowers?

 

 

And now for Dorcas' Project

My oldest sister is a big Donny & Marie fan.  In fact, seeing them is on her bucket list.  She lives in Tennessee so we don't see her as often as we'd like, BUT, Donny  & Marie are coming to Miami in December so we got her tickets to see them.  Well, we are all going together.  :)  Since we are going to spend time with her this weekend, I created a mini bucket for her with the seating chart showing the FLOOR seats we purchased.  Using Sunflower rumple ribbon was a perfect contrast to the red cellophane bag.  I think she's going to love this.

 

 

Dawn Mercedes and Dorcas Take Over!!!

 

"Feathered Friends"

One fun thing about crafting and blogging...is finding crafty friends!

And just the right stamp sentiment for your cards...

A button can be a great embellishment for your Lovebug Creations Ribbon!

This ribbon is called Caddy Blue and you can buy it in the

Island Breeze collection. Why not bring a little of the tropics into your

craft room during these long winter months!

Thanks for stopping by!

Dawn Mercedes, of Sunnyside Up!
