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.

  • Cactus Cuties Fun Fold card in new In Colors! Measurements & video.


    Last week's FB Live (seen here) included 3 fun fold cards with the Cactus Cuties bundle.  Here's the first one featuring all 5 of the brand new In Colors!

    It's cute but actually a simple fun fold to make.  You can see the measurements below as well as the video here. 

    The card base is the new Starry Sky on the card above and I switched it to the Orchid Oasis on the card below.  These two colors pair beautifully together!  I used the Parakeet Party (lime green) for the long strip and layers on the inside pieces.  

    The Cactus Builder punch punches out multiple images; including the pot, two cactus and a flower.  

    Aren't these new In Colors the best?!!  If you love them and want the 'works' click here to see my In Color bundle option.  It ends Saturday, May 7th!

  • Nature’s Prints with an easy white-washing technique video


    I made this beautiful card on Tuesday's FB live.  It's made with the Nature's Prints bundle. 

    The colors are Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky – two of our newest In Colors that pair beautifully together!  They are a rich blue with a hint of purple in the Orchid Oasis color.  The white edge on this card is made with the Blossoming Happiness dies.  

    You might wonder how I colored the leaves white.  It's called the whitewashing technique.  I stamped them in Orchid Oasis and used White craft ink, a bit of rubbing alcohol and a water brush. You can watch how it's done in the video here.  It's my first project of three.  You can see the other two below as well as a sample I cased from the catalog too.  

    They're all made with the Nature's Prints bundle seen here.  It was my top pick in the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!.  

    If you're interested in getting our newest set of 5 In Colors I have a special bundle available through Saturday, May 7th.  Read about it here.  You get free product with my share options – from a ribbon share, to In Color dots to free Blends markers!
