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.

  • Lasting Joy card swaps


    Sharing a few more card swaps I received recently, this time using the Lasting Joy stamp set.  

    This first card was made with the Countryside Inn designer paper and the Contour Scallops dies.  

    The card measures 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". Colors include Night of Navy & Boho Blue.  I do not have the name of the creator of this card; sometimes the name gets lost if they add a business card instead of a sticky note in the back. 

    Here's a photo of the Lasting Joy stamp set.  Gorgeous greetings and a few extra images for embellishing.

    This next card uses the same Lasting Joy stamp set but in Fresh Freesia and bubble Bath colors.  

    Evie DiPiazza made this card; she used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper and the Elegant Borders dies for that pretty die-cut edge.  Here's a link to these dies.

  • Masterfully Made suite samples; it’s extremely unique!


    The Masterfully Made suite is so different and unique; you'll be surprised at these projects shared by Stampin' Up!

    This colorful paper including the flowers is all the designer paper; there is nothing raised or popped up here except the tags.  The die-cuts in the background are from the bundle seen here. 

      

    This next card shows off the Masterfully Made designer paper wonderfully.  It looks like it's many strips of torn paper.  

    It's not!  Look at this gorgeous designer paper below.  See the sheet, second from the upper right?  That's what they used!  
    They did stamp on it with one of the images in the bundle; heat embossing in White.  

    This gorgeous designer paper is discounted in June; instead of $12.50 it's $10.62.  See it here

    This last card shows off the stamps, designer paper and the neat notebook edge die-cut.  

    What do you think?  Is this suite your style?

  • Fabulous Gone Fishing bundle swap cards


    Father's Day is coming up Sunday and the Gone Fishing bundle is perfect for the occasion.  

    I received two swap cards on the cruise and thought you'd like to see them.  First is my friend Susie Wood's card.  Her style is similar to mine and we often share cards with each other. My husband and I spent time with her and her husband Deke on the cruise; not enough but we both treasure our friendship so much! Check out her fabulous blog here.  She is super creative and a master at fun folds. 

    Her colors are Night of Navy with Vanilla and Boho Blue. The tag is made with our Very Best Trio punch seen here. 

    Next is a card I received from Janet Holmes. The curvy border die-cut shows off wonderfully here.  

    Check out the Gone Fishing bundle here.  

    I'll have lots more to share with this bundle soon!
