LBC Spring Celebrations New Release & Blog Hop!

Welcome to LoveBug Creations Spring Celebrations 

New Release and Blog Hop!!

If you stumbled upon our hop and want to start with our blog hostesses, then click over to
LOVEBUG CREATIONS blog. 

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:

And for something different, we are releasing the beautiful Mama's Roses.  
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.

I altered these take out containers that I have been hoarding for ages! I thought they would be great to fill with candy & a gift card for a birthday, Easter or Mother's Day treat!

I adhered the sentiment cards (made by MAMBI) to the front & added a beautiful bow to each. I also thought a bow on the top of the containers looked like just the needed, special touch!

On the blue container I used the new rumple ribbons in "Buttercup" (yellow) & "Blue Bells". On the lavender box I used "Spring Lilac" & "Dahlia". All of the colors are so gorgeous & I can't wait to create more projects with them. The colors are just what I needed after a long, cold winter.You certainly won't want to miss out on these beautiful collections!

Now, how about some delicious LBC Blog Candy!
LoveBug Creations is offering a $10 gift certificate to our online store and several other items as well.

Fleurette Bloom/LBC Hop!

Welcome to the Fleurette Bloom-LoveBug Creations Co-Hop. 
If you've flown over from Lovebug Creations, then you've joined the parade, but if you've stumbled on this hop and want to begin with the first stop, soar over to Fleurette.

The pairing of LBC's fantastic rumple ribbon and other trimmings with Fleurette Bloom's outstanding SVG's and digital delights is a great way to jazz up your projects - who wants to be ho-hum? 

Not us gals.........so grab your favorite beverage and settle back for some crafting inspiration 

for just the right touch of class.

I made this card for a friend who is about to have her second child-7 years after her first!
    

I started with the digital papers from Fleurette's "Moonbeams & Fairy Dust" collection. The colors are so bright & vibrant! I punched the stars from their star paper. The ribbon I used here is Lovebug Creations' "Shamrock" from their Lucky You-Lucky Me collection.

My friend doesn't know the baby's gender, so I thought this looked neutral. Here is the inside:

Now, how about some blog candy??

Treat Box

Hey guys! Happy Wednesday again.
Today I want to share my Lovebug Creations' project with you.
The secretary at my kids' school has been so helpful (& tolerant) to me with various projects recently, that I wanted to give her a little token of my appreciation. I bought these cute little pillow boxes at Target.

I took a chipboard flower & covered it in Panther Pink rumple ribbon, then topped that off with a bow in William rumple ribbon. Both of these colors can be found in the store. The little button in the center is made of thick cardstock.

I figure I'll fill this box with some chocolates!  Hopefully she'll enjoy it!

Have a great day y'all.

~Stephanie
