Graduation Time!!!

Happy Sunday!

I hope your weekend has been great so far!!

Today I get to show you a fun little card that features some of that gorgeous

 Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon!

I decided to make a center step card with lots of sparkle to give to my daughter for her graduation! 

I used my cameo to cut out the card base. I stamped my sentiment using a My Creative Time stamp and added that fun grad cap, also from My Creative Time. I added a few pieces of star confetti randomly onto my card. Of course, the red bow made with the Christmas Candy Simply Sheer

was the perfect finishing touch!

Today is my last post as a Creative Team member for LoveBug Creations.

I would like to take a minute to thank Kimi and Mama Lovebug for allowing me to be a part of this team.

I have enjoyed getting to know you both as well as all the wonderful ladies on the team!

Thank you!

Happy Sunday!

I hope your weekend has been great so far!!

Today I have a fun little nautical box card to show you that features some of that beautiful

 Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon!

A friend of mine is going on a cruise this year, so I thought this would be the perfect little card to send to her.

I found this box card by Lori Whitlock in the Silhouette Online Store (design id 57262). I added a little sentiment from the Springtime In Paris stamp set by My Creative Time and of course I had to add a Simply White Rumple Ribbon bow to finish it off. 

Simply White Rumple Ribbon is one of my favorites!

I think it gave my project the perfect finishing touch!

For my card, I used that cute little surfing bear from KaDoodle Bug Designs. I resized the surfboard so that I could make it appear as if he is holding it instead of riding it.

Happy Sunday!

I hope your weekend has been great so far!!

Today I get to show you a fun little card that features some of that gorgeous

 Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon!

For my card, I was totally inspired by the warmer temps that my area has been having lately so

I decided to make a fun little card that I could send anytime, no occasion needed :) 

I thought it would be cute to make a little outdoor scene for my card.  I embossed my light blue layer of cardstock using the swiss dots embossing folder. Once that was adhered, I attached some grass using the Stitched Grass Die from MCT. For the clouds, I used the stitched cartoon cloud dies from MCT. I stamped my sentiment directly onto one of the clouds and then adhered them to my card, popping one of them up with some foam adhesive. 

That cute little girl is a file from the Silhouette Online Store titled, Girl Holding Ladybug (Design ID 43037). 

Look are her cute little Simply Red Rumple Ribbon bows in her hair?? I think her little bows made her so much cuter!!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation!

I really appreciate it!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter!!!

Today I am here to show you one last Easter project (at least for this year) that showcases some of that gorgeous rumple ribbon from LoveBug Creations. .

For my box, I used the Peeking Bunny Basket Box from SVGCuttingfiles. It was so easy to put together and quick! After I had my box all put together, I added some little roses from Recollections to the bottom corner.

It didn't look complete though until I added her cute little rumple ribbon bow. 

Look at her cute little bow made from some of that gorgeous Spring Lilac Rumple Ribbon.

Happy Sunday!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

Today I am back with another candy box to send to my daughter and her friends for Easter.

 I cut out this super cute carrot box that I found from the silhouette online store.

Once I had everything cut out, I did some faux stitching on each of the sides as well as the carrot tops. 

After I had all the stitching done, I assembled my box. I used a stamp from My Creative Time's Happy Hunting set to put a fun little saying on the front with a cute little bunny from the My Creative Time's Hello Spring set. I added a little pom pom to the bunny for his cute little tail. :) To close my box, I used some of that gorgeous 

Olive You Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations.

Happy Birthday Kimi!!

Hi crafty friends!

Welcome to KIMI’S SURPRISE BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP!!

We are super excited to share her special day with you!

 If you just so happened to arrive at my blog and would like to start at the beginning, which is also the birthday girl’s blog, please hop on over to www.lovebugcreations3.blogspot.com. I’m sure she would LOVE your birthday wishes. If you arrived at my blog from Tanya at  http://www.scrappinkymomma.blogspot.com/, then you are on the right track.

I decided to make the birthday girl a card and a little treat holder.

For my card, I used a svg file from SVGcuttingfiles called cupcake girl. I used a peachy keen face on her and of course she wasn't complete until I added her sweet bow to her ponytail using some Princess Party Pink Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations! Isn't she cute??

I decided that Kimi also needed just a little bit of chocolate to go with her card, so I made her this little nugget box. I added some doodling to the front of the box as well as to the flame. I finished off my box by adding a fluffy full bow using more of that

  Princess Party Pink Rumple Ribbon.

Here is a picture of the card and the box together:

Kimi, you are truly one of the nicest people that I know and I am so glad to have gotten the chance to get to know you! I hope you have a fabulous birthday! May it be filled with lots of love, laughter & wonderful memories (and lots & lots of yummy cake!!)

Happy Sunday crafty friends!

Today I get to show you a fun little Easter box that showcases some of the new Rumple Ribbon.

For my box, I used the Bunny Ear Flap Box from SVG Cutting Files and thought it would be cute to add a little face to my box. She of course, needed a pretty bow for her hair. The new Spring Lilac Rumple Ribbon was perfect! I made 6 of these boxes and put candy inside each one. They will be getting mailed to my daughter for her and some of her friends for Easter. I hope they like them!

So settle back as we take you on a tour of spring celebrations and invite you to visit our
 LBC ONLINE STORE

With Easter right around the corner, I decided to make a little Easter gift for someone:

I found this egg svg and knew I wanted to make it! After I had it all assembled it was time to embellish! My favorite part hehe! I decided to add some bling to the flower frame and I stamped my sentiment onto the banner. I added some green crinkle paper shreds for the grass and a small chocolate bunny. My favorite part is the gorgeous new Rumple Ribbon from LoveBug Creations that I added to the top of my egg. I used two colors together, Dahlia & Garden Green, to form my bow. Once it was formed and fluffed the way I wanted it, I got out my ribbon curler and curled up the tails to give it those fun curls that hang down. Then I simply added a band of bling around the middle and glued it onto my egg.

Here is a close up up my bow:

Aren't those colors gorgeous??? So soft and pretty, perfect for so many projects!

How about some delicious LBC Blog Candy!

Hello Spring!!

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are having a super weekend!

Today I would like to show you a super simple card that I made that uses some of that awesome

 LoveBug Creations Rumple Ribbon!

I think most of us are sooo ready for Spring, so I thought maybe....just maybe....if I make a Spring card, Mother Nature will listen and let us have it haha!

Wishful thinking huh?

Anywho, here is the card that I made:

For my card, I found some pretty spring patterned papers and then layered them onto my card base. I added some of that beautiful Lemonade Rumple Ribbon and I heat embossed my greeting and my image using some white embossing powder. 

I love how pretty the Lemonade Rumple Ribbon is!!

Hi everyone & happy Sunday!

Today I wanted to show you a project that features some of that yummy 

Simply Sheer Ribbon from LoveBug Creations!

With St. Patrick's Day tomorrow, I thought it would be fun to create this little gift filled with some "gold".

I decided to make this little tube holder and then fill the tube with some Rolo's...errr, I mean gold! lol! I used some patterned paper that reminded me of a rainbow, added some four leaf clovers as well as that super cute sentiment! Of course, the Simply Sheer ribbon added the perfect touch!

Here is a close up of that beautiful Simply Sheer Ribbon from the

Here is the card that I made for Connie:

I decided to make a "S" fold card. Of course, no card would be complete without some Rumple Ribbon on it right? I ran some Princess Party Pink up the side of my card and then tied a fun little bow. 

The card open:

So you can see the fold, a view from the top:

Try Me Tuesday with MCT Dies!

Hi there and Happy Tuesday!!

Today over at the My Creative Time blog, it is Try Me Tuesday!

Today we are showing you different ways to use those My Creative Time dies. I love finding ways to use my dies other than what they may have been originally created for. 

Here is the card that I created:

For my card,  I wanted to see how I could use the Scallop & Stitched Circle die set a little differently. So I cut some of the scallops out of white cardstock and then cut them in half and adhered them to the back of my gray layer to create a fun little border going along the bottom. I then took the same scallop from the Scallop & Stitched Circle die set and cut it out of vellum 4 times. I stacked them together and put a brad through the middle to hold them all. Then I simply took each scallop circle and brought it up to the middle, crunching them as I went. After it was all crinkled and it had the look that I wanted, I simply added some glitter along the edges to give it a little sparkle. I am really pleased with how it turned out and I now have another way in which I can use my Scallop & Stitched Circle dies :) I also used the lowercase fun dies to create my greeting so that I could pop it up and have some of the patterned paper peeking through.  

Don't forget to head over to the My Creative Time blog to see all the fabulous ways that my wonderfully creative design team sisters came up with to help you get more out of your dies!
