Something Wicked This Way Comes LBC Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Something Wicked This Way Comes LBC New Release and Blog Hop!!  Prepare to be scared out of your PJ’s and rush to your crafty zones for comfort as you check out the amazing “wicked” projects that the LoveBug Creations CT has designed for the enjoyment of Halloween!

If you arrived here from Stephanie, then you are in the right spot. 
If you just happened to stumble across the hop today on my blog and would like to start at the beginning,
be sure to head over to the Lovebug Creations Blog and see what Pamela and Kim created for your enjoyment.

First LBC wants to thank CT Connie for creating the Wicked Blog Hop Button. It’s witches and pumpkins and things that go bump in the night featured here and to celebrate the treat giving event, LBC wants to share some new products with our crafty pals. Visit our online store HERE

Sneak Peek
Some of our designers will be showing off some of the NEW Mama's Mesh colors that will be hitting the store soon so keep your eyes peeled for them!!!

The Wicked Release

First we have some eye-popping solid Rumple Ribbon in three new yummy colors – Purple People Eater, Harvest Moon, and Monster Skin; these colors also have a Mardi Gras palette too, so grab them quickly before they disappear into the night of fright!

Say hello to the
  "Fright Night" Collection

And for the fun of “something wicked” we’re unveiling a limited collection of Rumple Ribbon called “Halloween Grunge”; there are six colors of vintage blends to give your projects the perfect Wicked Factor.  Only a select number of these have been created so when they’re gone, they’re gone! All six colors are included in this special collection.

A Wicked Deal 

For the duration of the hop (September 7-8) there will be a freebie with purchase –

1. Spend $15 before shipping and you will receive 2 free yards of White edged with Black Rumple Ribbon!

2. Spend $25 before shipping and you will receive 2 free yards each of White edged with Black Rumple Ribbon, Black Edged with White, and Red Edged With Black Rumple Ribbon!!!

Here is my Wicked Project:

I decided to alter a Frappe Bottle and fill it with some candy and I also made a coordinating card.

To decorate my bottle, I used a Spider Web border punch and layered some patterned paper on top of that. I then wrapped that around my bottle and secured it with some sticky tape. Once that was adhered, I wrapped some bling around my paper layer and topped it off with a 3D spider.

 I used some Simply Black Rumple Ribbon as well as some Purple People Eater Rumple Ribbon to tie a bow around the neck of my bottle. Look at the gorgeous purple!!!

For the lid, I punched out some circles and layered them on top of each other and then added a 3D spider.

For my card, I used my spider web border punch again except this time, I layered it on top of my patterned paper. I added some bling to the web as well as some of that gorgeous

  Purple People Eater Rumple Ribbon.

I stamped my hat image onto some white cardstock and then used a spellbinder die to punch it out. I then adhered it to my card using some foam adhesive. I stamped my sentiment onto the bottom right corner using a stamp from Joy's Life Stamps. I then added a little more bling to the hat as well as the top right hand corner of my card. 

What's a Halloween Hop without a little candy?

I am going to give the following 6x6 paper pad away to one lucky follower of my blog:

Beary Best Back To School Wishes!

Hi guys!

Happy Thursday!

Are you all ready for the weekend?

Today I get to show you a cute little card that showcases those awesome

Joy's Life Stamps!

This week the design team is showing you projects that

have the theme of Back To School!

I decided to make a card to send to my daughter, who is away at college, to wish her luck this school year.

For my card, I cut out that adorable little teddy bear from the Teddy Bear Parade Cricut Lite cartridge at 3.25". I chalked up her cheeks and added a few freckles with my white gel pen. I paired her up with that awesome sentiment from the Punny Animals stamp set.

Look at all the adorable sentiments on the Punny Animals stamp set:

An Inky Situation #7

Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!

An Inky Situation??

 An Inky Situation #7 is a sketch!

Just create a card based on the following sketch and link it up with us at An Inky Situation!

Here is the card that I created based off of the sketch:

For my card, I used my Bird Punch to create my main focal point. 

My bird/branch was punched out using Pear Pizzazz and Rich Razzleberry. I also used some DSP, but it has since been retired :( 

Thanks so much for stopping by and looking at my latest creation!

Birthday Gift Set

Happy Wednesday!!

Today I am sharing with you my very first official post as a

  Lovebug Creations Creative Team Member!!

I made the following little cupcake gift box and birthday card for my son's girlfriend for her birthday.

The cupcake is filled with some of her favorite chocolates. 

For my card, I used a Penny Black stamp and of course some of that gorgeous 

Simply White Rumple Ribbon.

(you can click on the picture to enlarge it)

The cupcake is from a file from SVGCuts titled, Happy Birthday To You.

Instead of using the flower that came with the cupcake file, I decided to make my own flower using some Ballet Slippers Mama's Mesh and some Simply White Rumple Ribbon. 

Here is a closeup of the flower that I made:

 I added a pearl brad in the middle of my flower to help hold the two flowers together. 

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

I really appreciate it!

Don't forget to stop by the Lovebug Creations Blog to see the gorgeous creations my wonderful Creative Team Sisters did :)
