Birthday Zeni

Hi everyone!

Today is a very special day for the Lovebug Creations Creative Team.

It’s Zeni’s birthday! Write on!

Birthday cake and candle Zeni

To wish her a happy day we created birthday cards for her and I’m so excited to share mine with you!  First, I have to tell you about the Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon. I used Princess Party Pink and Eyes of Blue.

I picked up a DCWV Stack at the craft store a while back and I’ve been waiting to use it. Zeni’s card seemed like the perfect opportunity!  The Stack is called Vintage Collector and I am really fond of it because not only does it have images of vintage typewriters, which I collect (really, what don’t I collect?), but it also has pics of vintage cameras. And bottle caps, and inspirational sayings on chalk board and hot air balloons!  It’s so cute and I adore the colors.

I tied the Lovebug Creations Rumple Ribbon into a sweet double bow and surrounded it with some girly accents from my stash. It needed just a little bit of fancy sparkle so I added some pearl-colored sequins. The paper stack came with a nice sentiment coming out of the typewriter but it wasn’t just right so I typed up my own and printed it out on vellum. I know I’m older than some of you but do you remember typing up letters back in the day on a typewriter and using paper so thin it was almost like tissue paper?  I think they did that to save on postage when mailing letters overseas. Anyways, I’m such a stickler for random details so I just had to create what I had in my mind.

I’m crazy about how the pink and turquoise ribbon really create a burst of color for this card. I hope Zeni likes it!

Happy Birthday, Zeni, and I hope you celebrate all month long.  Please leave a Happy Birthday greeting for Zeni to read and brighten her day! If you want to see the other amazing cards made for her you can see them on the Lovebug Creations Blog.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

XO,

Christine Barler

Have I told you how much I  L-O-V-E being on the Lovebug Creations Creative Team? Every time there’s a new product release, we get to play with it first! I love that!  And I couldn’t wait to share these new colors with you.

The darker blue Rumple Ribbon is from the Star Spangled Collection and I am loving this Simply Blue duo of ribbons.

The lighter blue ribbons are from the Eyes of Blue and Icy Sky collections.

And, there’s also a very new and very exciting product from Lovebug Creations on this project!  It’s called Mama’s Mesh and you are going to want some of this super versatile product. The color I used is called Gentleman’s Jacket and it reminds me of a fishing net. (Bad for mermaids!)

I really enjoyed making this project because I got to use some fun products from our friends at The Robin’s Nest as well!  The Lovebug Creations creative team received some Dew Drops and also this beautiful Sorbet Glitter Collection scrapbook paper in an assortment of colors.  I knew from the moment I received my package of happy mail that I would be using AquaMarine Glitter Sorbet and that my project would have a mermaid theme.

I also used the Clear Dew Drops in assorted sizes to add some gorgeous sparkle and texture to this card.

I like how the dew drops really look like dew, or in this case, droplets of sea water!

Thank you for joining me for this fun project!

Have a creative week!
