Welcome to the Fleurette Bloom and LoveBug Creations Co-Hop!

If you’ve come over from Chantel, you’re in the right place. But if you’ve landed here and want to begin with the first stop, head over to Fleurette!

The pairing of Lovebug Creation’s fantastic Rumple Ribbon and trimmings with Fleurette Bloom’s outstanding SVG’s (Scalable Vector Graphics) and digital delights is a great way to freshen up your projects. Who wants to be ho-hum?  Not us!

You’ve seen some fabulously fresh projects so far and there’s more to be seen. Are you ready to see what I’ve made?

To begin, I used the Fleurette Bloom Swan Lake SVG Card Collection which includes everything you see in this picture.

Swan Lake SVG Card Kit / Collection

 

lush flower collection

And I used the “Lush Flowers” 3D SVG Collection.

 

 

ScarletCalliope Spring 1

I created a replica of an antique French Globe de Mariee using Panther Pink Rumple Ribbon and a gorgeous mystery product from Lovebug Creations (check back for the reveal tomorrow!), and some adorable Swans and a Peony from Fleurette Blooms SVG Cutting Files.

 

ScarletCalliope Spring 2

Here it is without the glass. What do you think? Each detail in these Globe de Mariee’s symbolized a different aspect of a French bride’s marriage and French Garden House has a lovely blog post about the history of them if you want to learn more.

 

ScarletCalliope Spring 4

Doesn’t this Pink Panther ribbon look dreamy against the silk velvet cushion?  I’m absolutely swooning!

ScarletCalliope Spring 3

Ooh la la!

ScarletCalliope Spring 5

My love for swans burns brighter than ever and these SVG cutting files from Fleurette Bloom are incredible. The detail on the wings is amazing and their little eyes and beaks are just precious!

ScarletCalliope Spring 6

This beautiful, dimensional Peony is from the Fleurette Bloom Lush Flowers Collection.

ScarletCalliope Spring 7

And some detail shots. I made the crown in a Beaded Tiara class with Arlene Baker and I’m just so tickled with the way it turned out! Dresden is from Gilding the Lily in Fullerton, CA. Vintage millinery flowers and fruits are from Michelle Hurtt.

Now, how about some BLOG CANDY??

Fleurette Bloom is offering a $10 gift certificate to her ONLINE STORE

Welcome Wedding Hoppers!

ScarletCalliope Wedding Hop 1

Thank you for joining our hop, hosted by Jaded Blossom and Lovebug Creations! You’re just over halfway through and there’s more amazing wedding projects for you to see! (If this is your first stop, don’t miss any of these incredible projects. Start at Candace’s!)

Don’t forget to visit and leave a comment on each blog to be entered to win some blog candy!

I’m a big lover of weddings so this was a blog hop that I was super excited about. We each got to pick a project to make and because I collect vintage wedding cake toppers, I thought that creating my own would be perfect.

I had so much fun with this project!

Isn't this dress dreamy? I love it!
Isn’t this dress dreamy? I love it!

For this project I used the Jaded Blossom Wedding Wishes stamp set. (Thank you, Jaded Blossom!) It includes this gorgeous wedding dress, a sweet dove, an artistic swirl and 11 beautiful sentiments. I stamped the dress image onto a Tiffany & Co envelope and embossed it. Then I cut around the stamped image and glued it onto a piece of Buttercream colored card stock which I then cut.

I used “Buttercream” Rumple Ribbon from Lovebug Creations to create the sash for the dress and the base of my cake topper. The Buttercream ribbon is part of the Lovebug Creations “I Do” collection and also includes Simply Black and Simply White.

Did you notice my altered book cake? I’ve been waiting to use it forever! I hope you like it!

Blog Hop: Oh No! Kimi’s Turning the Big 3-0!

You only get to turn 30 once, so we’re celebrating Kimi Cremar’s birthday in a BIG way! With a blog hop featuring 15 INCREDIBLE crafters on 14 blogs, you’ve been seeing a fantastic variety of projects, tips and techniques. If you missed any of the party locations before you got here, the map to the party is down below.

Kimi Birthday Blog Candy 3

Before we look at my project, I want to tell you thank you for joining our blog hop. It means so much to me that people are visiting and leaving comments, it really inspires me to keep creating and posting my handmade love! You’re at stop number 3 and the road map for the hop is down below in case you get distracted. (Oh look, glitter!)

Scarlet Calliope Birthday cake and candle

I’m really not much of a card maker, mostly because I’m always remembering people’s occasions at the last minute. But, I do love making mini albums, so when I found out it was Kimi’s big three zero, I started pulling together my favorite papers, paints and embellishments.

Scarlet Calliope Kimis Blog Hop 5

I started with a chipboard album and painted each of the pages, front and back, first with gesso (it works like a primer) and then with regular acrylic paint. Then I selected some papers and using my Curvy Cutter from EK Success, I cut the scrapbook papers into rounded squares. I then took those cut papers and cut each of them again into 1/3 and 2/3 sections, so that I would have coordinating papers to mix and match on each layout. I used my Cricut “Storybook” cartridge to cut out the numbers. And since Kimi is having a milestone birthday, rhinestone bling was definitely in order!

Scarlet Calliope Kimis Blog Hop 3

Kimi’s favorite colors are Pink and Light Lime Green so I used those colors lavishly. All ribbon used throughout is Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon. Party hats and balloons are cut from the Cricut “Celebrations” cartridge.

Scarlet Calliope Kimis Blog Hop 2

I LOVE Bunting, or garlands, or pendants or whatever the cool kids are calling them these days They’re so fun and whimsical I just had to use them on top of bakers twine. And, by the way, I found red and white bakers twine on clearance for 70% off in my local Target dollar section Friday night. That means you can score some for just $.30!

Scarlet Calliope Kimis Blog Hop 1

I was inspired to use the layered ticket idea from a project that my creative friend Dorcas, the Crafty Card Angel, used. I stamped my sentiments onto card stock and then used my “ticket” punch. Cupcake was cut from the Cricut “Doodlecharms” cartridge.

Scarlet Calliope Kimis Blog Hop 4

Here’s the front cover opened up to show the layout with the back cover.

Crafting Concoction:

  • Ribbon: Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon
  • Cricut Cartridges: Storybook, Doodlecharms, Celebrations

313165_10150348745156042_4875871_a

The Lovebug Creations Creative Team got to play with some super adorable clear stamps from Pink By Design and I got the cute “Hubba Hubba” set that includes a bubbly fun submarine and seven sentiments for all sorts of occasions.

Scarlet Calliope Spring Blog Hop 1

The beautiful Rumple Ribbon is from the “Eyes of Blue” and “Icy Sky” collections from Lovebug Creations.

Scarlet Calliope Spring Blog Hop 2

The sentiments are so clever and I had so much fun using them. Be sure to check out the Pink By Design shop to see all of the other stamp sets that they have!

Scarlet Calliope Spring Blog Hop 3

The Bathing Beauty dress forms are from the $1.50 section at Michaels. To get my vintage juices flowing, I created a board on Pinterest called Boardwalk Love to give me some inspiration. I loved making them so much that I went back the next day and loaded up my basket with more dress forms and even found some guy shapes! (I can be a little obsessive sometimes!)

BLOG CANDY GIVEAWAY

Are you ready to win? Pink By Design & Lovebug Creations are EACH giving $15 gift certificates to one lucky winner!
