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!!) 

Thank you so much for hopping with us!

MCT: Inspiration Wednesday

Happy Wednesday crafty friends!

It is Inspiration Wednesday over at the My Creative Time blog!

This is the day where we create a project based on something that has inspired us.

For the card that I made today, I was inspired by two things. 

1. My daughter's upcoming college graduation 

&

2. The many fabulous shaker cards that my wonderful DT sisters always make.

This is my first shaker card and I had so much fun making it!

I decided to make my shaker window by using the Stitched "Capture" Frame with Arrow Die Set. Before I added the acetate, foam adhesive and sequins, I stamped the Class of 2014 from the Follow Your Dreams stamp set. After my shaker was attached to my card base, I popped up a Graduation Cap from the Here's Lookin' At You set. Like I said, I had so much fun making this and I will definitely be making more of these in my future. 

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

I hope you have a fabulous crafty day!

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!

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

Whatever Wednesday with My Creative Time

Happy Wednesday crafty friends!!

Today over at the My Creative Time blog, it is Whatever Wednesday!

This is the day that we can make any project that we would like that incorporates those fabulous stamps and/or dies from My Creative Time.

For my project, I decided to make a birthday card for one of my DT sisters. 

I started with a kraft card base and added a layer of fun chevron patterned paper. I then cut out a tag from the Tag Dies out of some white cardstock. Onto that, I added that super cute ice cream from the Celebrate Good Times set and that fun sentiment from the Wow So Many Candles stamp set. I added a bow to the top of my tag and a few sequins to finish off my card. I really hope she liked it. :)

Spring is a time for Easter and Mother's Day events but it also signals weddings, graduations, family reunions, and more.  LoveBug Creations has some new awesome products to unveil today for your spring celebrations.

  So do you want to add something special to your handmade projects?? If so, consider these new springtime collections for your crafting arsenal of rumple ribbon delights:

Each rose is hand-formed and hand-dyed; each has dimensions of  2"x 2" and can be used as is or inked, painted, stickled, and more - your imagination can provide lots of possibilities for these beauties - and they are feather-light so you can create lots of projects from layouts to cards to tags to mixed media creations to 3-D creations and more and not feel there's an anchor on your project, weighing it down!

And if that isn't enough... We've got 4 NEW Mama's Mesh Colors: Kraft, Ivory, Light Blue & Light Pink!!!

Also Mama's Mesh is now being offered to buy by the yard as opposed to in collections!

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!
