How to make a bumblebee with the Ladybug Builder punch


This month my Flowerbug's Team's swap theme was cards featuring an animal, bug or bird with a unique fold.  I decided to use the Hello Ladybug bundle for mine. Click here to see the bundle.  I changed the ladybug into a bumblebee!  

I shared how to make this card on last week's Facebook Live.  It's now on YouTube as well.  Click here to see it and two other cards featuring this cute Ladybug Builder punch.  

 

You may have seen this done before; it's so simple if you have some Black & White designer paper.  I colored the white stripes with a Dark Daffodil Delight Blends marker.  I used the Ladybug Builder punch to punch out the body circle and added it to the main Black Ladybug body.  

Then I punched out wings from Vellum.  I made them double wings by folding a piece of vellum in half and punching so the fold was intact.  The wings are adhered with a few mini glue dots. 

Details:

  • I used the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here for the hexagon shapes.  
  • Designer paper is the All Together 6 X 6" black & white paper seen here. 
  • The Bumblebee hexagon is textured with the Hive 3D embossing folder.
  • That hexagon embellishment on the greeting was pink. It's one of three colored in the Adhesive-backed Hexagon gems in the 2022 Jan-June catalog. I colored it with the Dark Daffodil Delight blends marker. 

 

This is an easy fun fold card to make.  And it makes great use of your Designer Paper – you can get 2 fronts from each 6 X 6" piece or 8 fronts from a 12 X 12" piece of paper.

  • Apple Harvest Fun Fold card


    We made this sweet Apple Harvest card at my card clubs in September.  I love the bright colors paired with Black! 

    The colors include Parakeet Party, Real Red and Black.  As you can see I gave them a choice of apple images on the front. The left card above has the large apple bunch and the right card below has a pair of apples with blossoms.  And inside the card is a single apple. 

    The Apple Harvest stamp set is in the 2022 Holiday catalog.  The new Apple Blossom dies that coordinate with it are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion.  See them here. 

    All were colored with Blends markers – Parakeet Party, Crumb Cake & Sweet Sorbet.  I added a bit of color lifter on the large red apples to achieve a look of shine & reflection.

    This card fold is super simple.  Just add an extra score line to your Black card base.  

    Measurements:

    • Black – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
    • Parakeet Party 5" X 3 3/4", circle is 2 1/2"
    • Cottage Gingham DSP 4" X 3"
    • White 3/4" X 5" strip & 5 1/4" X 4" inside

  • A new fun fold card with This Birthday Piggy; join me Live tonight!


    We're making this cool fun fold card tonight on my Stamp with Me live here on Facebook. It's called a 'pillar' fold card.  Join in and watch or prep your pieces and stamp along with me Live. 

    I'm featuring the This Birthday Piggy bundle seen here.  You can get them separately also, but you won't save the 10% then.

    The stamp set is in the 2022-23 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog seen here.   These coordinating dies are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion.  See them here.   

    The side pillars fold in toward the middle so it fits in a standard A2 size envelope.  

    My colors include Polished Pink, Parakeet Party, White & Black.  The designer paper on the sides is our Black & White designs seen here. 

    I used our Blends markers to color the images – Polished Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Basic Gray & Parakeet Party.  

    See those neat confetti pieces?  Those are actually 'windows' die-cut in the White CS so the Pink CS shows through.  They're part of the Playful Piggy dies. Same with the grass, banner and pennants.  The stars are punched with the Witch Hat punch. 

    Join me here tonight at 7:30 pm CT.
