An amazing flower from the Ladybug Builder punch? Yes!

I have been sharing many cards made with the Hello Ladybug stamp & punch bundle in the last few days.  I've gone a bit crazy with it lately!  If you missed them scroll to the next few posts before this one or watch the video here to see most of them.  

I've seen a few samples of flowers made with the Ladybug Builder punch and had to try one myself.  I love the dimension you get when you curl the 'wings' a bit!

It's definitely a 3D type flower; maybe suited best for a box or gift bag.  Wouldn't that be pretty!

I punched 'wings' from the Ladybug Builder punch from our Simply Marbelous designer paper.  This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion through February 28th.  See it here!  

SIMPLY MARBLEOUS 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

It's my top favorite item in our Sale-a-Bration catalog!  I love that each sheet is monochromatic on both sides; many shades of the same colors. Don't miss out on this amazing paper. 

I used quite a few punched wings to make these flowers.  Start with a 1 1/2" – 1 3/4" circle punch as a base to add them to, working your way from outside towards the center.  Be sure to curl them first with a bone folder.

This card is also a unique fun fold I'd never seen before.  I used our Stitched Rectangle dies to cut a partial window in the front fold.  You can get my tips on achieving this fold in the video seen here or below.

I used the Basic Patterns Decorative Masks seen here for my background.  Our blending brushes make this a breeze.

  • Two background techniques on this pretty Kindest Expressions card

    I made this card for our June Team swap; our theme was to create our own background.  I went a bit overboard but had a ton of fun making these!

    Kindest expressions swap. Save
    It features these products from our Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

    1. Kindest Expressions stamp set
    2. Paper Florist dies
    3. Countryside Corners dies
    4. Blending Brushes
    5. Artistic Mix Decorative Masks
    6. Embossing paste Matte finish
    7. Adhesive-Backed sequins trio

    Whew!  And I didn't even list the ink and paper!  My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White.

    • I used Berry Burst ink and a Blending Brush to create an ombre background on my Bubble Bath card stock. I let that dry overnight. 
    • I then used a mask over this to spread White Embossing Paste with a Palette knife.  Even though my ink was dry it picked up the color and created an ombre look on the paste too.  I let that dry for a few hours.
    • Add the greeting and the Paper Florist dies seen here.  I can tell that I'll be using these dies a lot.  They're wonderful and make a huge variety of flowers.

    I LOVE how they turned out.
