Gift ideas with Stephanie & Katie ♥

Hey every"buggy"! I am here today to share a quick treat box that I made for the office secretary at my kids' school. She has been such a huge help to me with various projects, that I wanted to give her a little something.

I bought these pillow boxes at Target. Then I took a chipboard flower & covered it with rumple ribbon in Panther Pink and then topped that off with a bow in William from the Family Ties collection. It's pretty simple but hopefully she will love the little treat today!

You can see more about this on my blog.

Thanks for letting me share!

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

Dawn Mercedes & Dorcas Brighten Up The Blog ♥

After a fabulous surprise party on my 40th bday,

 I have a very long list of thank you notes that need to go out to friends and family who helped make my day so special.

Today, I made five of these "Thanks a bunch" Cards.

I'm not one to "mass produce" cards.  But my list is long this time!

I love the orangey yellow hue of William Rumple Ribbon, that you can find in the Oh Ceclia collection

at Lovebug Creations.  The rhinestones also tie in the happy, sunny color.

So...I need about 22 more cards before starting on my thank you list!

Feel free to visit my blog, Sunnyside Up, to see what else I have created using Rumple Ribbon!

 

and now for Dorcas' project

 

Hi friends!

Today I'm sharing this cute cupcake topper I made for the Princess in Progress baby shower that I've been working on for what seems to be months.  (LOL).  I used simply white rumple ribbon since it goes best with the color scheme.  Please be sure to visit my blog for more details.

 

 

Dawn Rene's Fabulous Ribbon Necklace ♥

Happy Monday! Dawn Rene with you today to share a necklace I made with Lovebug Creations rumpled ribbon and some scrap pieces of fabric. This necklace is a very easy to make. You take a couple strips of fabric and tie knots in it every couple inches. Then you do the same thing with the ribbon. I glued the ends of the ribbon and fabric into bead caps. The necklace closes with a toggle clasp.

I used the orange-yellowish ribbons from the Oh Cecilia Collection. They give the necklace a beautiful spring and summery feel!

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

Dawn Rene's Simply the Best{ie} ♥

Happy Monday! Dawn Rene here with you today.... Last weekend I felt in the mood to color with my Copic markers. I find it very relaxing. This is birthstone Bestie and July's birthstone is a ruby!

The rest of the card is decorated with lots of goodie - including (of course) Lovebug Creations rumpled ribbons! I thought the Mae ribbon from the Oh Cecilia collection went well with her. I love the colors in the Oh Cecilia collection. They are very versatile - can be vintage, shabby chic, fall, festive, grungy! I added a touch of Simply White from the Just the Basics collection too!

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

Dawn Mercedes & Dorcas Share Some Treats & A Tip ♥

Chews to treat your kids, husbands, coworkers...

with a little bit of your handiwork.

I created a couple of gum holders for my kids with inspirational messages.

Today, as I was scheduling this post, my son called and needed me to bring up his gym clothes...

despite the number of times I said "Are you sure you have your gym clothes?"

Such is the life of a mother...

and I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Easy Peasy...extra large nestie.

You could also cut out a shape from your electronic cutter.

Two folds make it into a "book."

Cut two slits in the binding to "hold the gum in" using Lovebug Ribbon.

Here I used the new color, Phyllis from the new Oh, Cecelia Collect.

It's pretty close to the color Sunset.

I also used Removeable Glue Dots © to secure the gum.

Then decorate the top...and the inside back has plenty of room for you to write a sweet note!

Thanks for checking out the blog today.

Dawn Mercedes, of Sunnyside Up

 

And now for Dorcas' Project....

 

I'm here to share a cute card using Caddy Blue Rumple Ribbon. I love this color...this one is my favorite one (together with lemonade). I used a trick to iron out my rumple ribbon - I used my flat iron (yes, the one I use on my very curly hair). It worked like a charm. Please be sure to visit my Crafty Card Angel blog to get more details on the supplies I used.
