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.

    The cute Little Ladybug stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration promotion was very popular; everyone wanted it!  It was free with a $300 order but that was difficult for many people to achieve.

  • Ornate Garden; simply done


    Today I have another card featuring the new Ornate Garden products; the new early release from the upcoming 2020 Annual Catalog.  You can see all of it here. 

    For this card I chose to use the Ornate Border dies for the pretty edge. The greeting is from the Ornate Thanks set and the embossed daisy is from the Ornate Style stamp set.

    You might see a little halo around the right daisy…. I first stamped it in Terracotta Tile, but it didn't show up well enough.  So I tried to stamp again to heat emboss it in White.  I was off a bit but I'm okay with it anyway. The stitched oval is a die from the Stitched Shapes dies.  

    I made a bunch of these for a swap last month; it's a pretty easy card with just a few special 'extras'.
