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.

  • Quick & Easy Shaker card with free project sheet & video


    On last week's video I created two types of shaker cards. Today's project is the easy version. It uses one of our A2 size clear envelopes to hold the shaker pieces.

    I used the Snowy Scenes designer series paper seen here.  It fits perfectly into one of our clear envelopes seen here. After I add the loose shaker pieces on top of the DSP I fold the envelope over and seal it in the back before adding it to a cardstock layer. It's so easy!

    My colors are Real Red with Garden Green.  I heat embossed the greeting from the Snowy Wonder stamp set. The ribbon is our sheer silver ribbon from the Annual catalog. The shaker pieces include the loose White snowflakes in the Holiday catalog along with two other types of retired loose sequins.  

    Below is a photo of both shaker cards I shared in the video below.  

    Here's the free project sheet; click on the following link to download or print it. Download Easy Snowy Scenes Shaker card

    Click on the video below to see how it's made.  I also share a second type of shaker card that's even easier!  I hope you watch and follow me on both YouTube and my Facebook page.
