Summer Reading with Dawn Mercedes ♥

This is Dawn Mercedes, from Sunnyside Up.

I have an "easy as pie" and "cute as a dumpling craft" for you 

summer readers!  

A Rumple Ribbon Bookmark!

Simply take two pieces of  rumple ribbon from Lovebug Creations and one piece of elastic cording.

They need to be 4-5 inches long.

Slip knot them around a colored, plastic coated paperclip.

(The plastic coating is easy on your book pages.)

Tug on that knot!

Then I used a Advanced Strength Glue Dot®

to secure a rhinestone. The bling adds a bit of pizzaz as well as keeps your  knot in place.

Rumple Ribbon colors used:

Sunset, Lemonade, Blue Bells, Ocean View

Next, slip it into your summer reading delight!

Now, I'm done with this book...Book three in the series. 

Book four is waiting for me at the library as I type this!!

(Squeal!)

What is on your summer reading list this season??

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  

 

Stephanie's Thinking Sweet Thoughts ♥

Dawn Mercedes Cupcakes & a Birthday Surprise for Kristi ♥

Hi!  Dawn Mercedes bringing YOU a fabulous platter of cupcakes...

wait, I guess you will need to make these for yourself.

Roll over to my blog, Sunnyside Up,  to find out how to make this darling cupcake display stand

that is embellished with the fantastically fun Rumple Ribbons from Lovebug Creations!

These colors are Panther Pink and  Crazy Coral from the Pink Lemonade Collection!

What is even better...I used Removable Glue Dots ®.

This way, I can change out the ribbons as the celebrations and seasons change!

B/c as we all know...cupcakes are good 365 days of the year.

You might as well have a sweet display stand for them too!

I snagged this fantastic Mini File Folder SVG from Fleurette Bloom Designs and just had to show case it!

I love how you can change the size of svgs to fit your specific needs.

These are darling little note cards which are so very fun to embellish!

Here I used Lemonade Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations...

along with sequins, flowers, tags, washi tape, die cuts.

The sky is the limit sometimes, isn't it!

Thanks for stopping by today!

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

Hello fellow Lovebugs!!

Connie Can Crop 

here with a new project to share using my favorite LoveBug Creations Products!!

I spent this last weekend away at a scrap retreat and was able to play with my ribbon and mesh!

I really love the way this card turned out. The top of the card reminds me of a curtain on a little girl's princess bedroom window. And just outside a magical unicorn is flying by.

Kristi

Hello Lovebuggies! Kristi here from Little Paper Sprinkles!

I have been wanting to try a shaker card forever, for some reason they intimidated me! Why? I am not sure, but I am here to say it was super easy and super fun!

For this project today, I used "Jaded" Rumple Ribbon which is a new fave of mine, I can tell because it is almost gone! Eeekk! :) 

For more details head on over to my BLOG!

Now to meet our NEW bugs!!!

 

 

Hi, I'm Connie and I'm thrilled to be a new CT member here at Lovebug Creations! I'm a wife of 16 years to an awesome guy who supports this crazy habit of mine, a mom to two teenage boys, a college student (hopeful future nurse), and a crazy crafter. I have crafted my entire life thanks to an awesome mom but have only been scrapbooking and card making about 18 years.  I love learning new tricks and techniques and if I can inspire you then I am one happy gal! My Cricuts are my therapists. I adore those machines. I am lucky enough to have one that cuts SVG files so for me the sky is the limit. I use them daily. I encourage you to come visit my blog Connie Can Crop and see what kind of trouble I can get in to with Mama Mesh and Rumple Ribbon!! I know I can't wait to hang out with you all!

 

 

Hello, my name is Kathy Gillon and I am excited to be joining the Lovebug Creations Creative Team!   I am a Chemist by profession and a Crafter at heart.  I am also a Mom to 3 wonderful and busy kids.  I have been given the title of soccer-volleyball-track-cross country-football-baseball-wrestling-cheer-dance Mom.   When I’m not busy being a Mom or working, I love to craft!  I enjoy making cards, scrapbook layouts, and other paper crafts.  I also enjoy sewing and crocheting, and knitting, and I love to incorporate my sewing/crocheting into my paper craft projects.  I am excited to be creating and sharing with Rumple Ribbons!

 

 

Hello there! I'm Katie!! I am a mom of two grown kids and grandma to the cutest kid ever!  When my babies left the nest a few years ago I took the opportunity to live a life long dream of becoming a city slicker!  I live in a great neighborhood in Chicago and love all the big city has to offer.  At heart, I am still a small town girl.  I love the time I spend in craft room.  I gain such energy and peace from making cards, mini albums and any number of 3D projects.  Most of my cards support Operation Write Home, but more and more find myself branching out in to more dimensional and exciting projects.

 

 

Hi there! My name is Stacey and I am a wife and mom to 2 amazing young adults.  I have been crafting for about 8 years now. It started when my amazing husband presented me with a box filled with scrapbooking supplies for Christmas one year after remembering me say that it was something that I wanted to try. From that point on, I was hooked! If I had to define my style, I would say that I create more "cute-sy" type of projects, with the occasional elegant project thrown in lol! Even though I started out as a scrapbooker, I slowly found cardmaking and it has since taken over. I also love to alter items and make 3D paper projects. I am so excited and honored to be a part of the LoveBug Creations Creative Team and look forward to sharing my projects with you.

The new ladies will be posting projects starting September 2!! So make sure to visit them all and congratulate them!!! We're over the moon to have these amazingly talented ladies join us!!!!

 

Bug Hugs,

Kimi

 

Dawn Rene's Poolside Layout with Lemonade Rumple Ribbon ♥

Happy Monday! Dawn Rene here to share a layout I made with Lemonade rumple ribbon. I used the ribbon as a border on the layout of my kiddies enjoying their time in the sun. I put some pleats in the ribbon to give it motion and movement since the layout is about the pool and water!

Have a great week! Thanks for stopping by....
