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.

  • Sweet Ice Cream Fun Fold card with video tutorial


    We made this special fun fold card at last month's Card Clubs.  See how it latches on the punched ice cream piece? 

    I used the Sweet Ice Cream bundle and the Ice Cream Corner Designer Paper seen here.  This DSP is retiring in June; if you like it get it now while you can. The cones on this card are punched from the designer paper itself.  No need to stamp them when the paper is perfect! The card stock is Cinnamon Cider with Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive.

    You can mix & match the designer papers for a nice variety of cards.  I used Blackberry Bliss, Pear Pizzazz and Cinnamon Cider ink, stamping off first for the solid ice cream images. 

    The Sweet Ice Cream bundle is available now in the Spring catalog. This set & punch are carrying over into the current Annual catalog but they are no longer a bundle at 10% off.  Save $$ and get them now at a discount. 

    Be sure to watch the video below to see how to make this card. 

    Here are the measurements for you:

    • Cinnamon Cider 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" plus 3 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
      White 3 1/4" X 4" and 3 3/4" X 4 1/2"
      Old Olive gift card option 2 3/4" X 3 1/2"
      DSP – top 3 1/4" X 4", bottom 2 1/2" X 4"

  • Corner Latch Cards Video with Expressions in Ink


    I absolutely LOVE this fun fold!  It makes such good use of both your card stock and designer paper.  There's a video at the bottom of this post so you can catch my tips and watch me make these. 

    I chose to use the Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Paper for these cards.  It's absolutely stunning and filled with alcohol ink backgrounds. This means you don't have to create them yourself!  

    This card is made with our new Polished Pink card stock along with a bit of Gold foil accents die-cut with the beautiful Artistic dies.  

    In this next photo you can see how it opens as well as the stamped images from the Artistically Inked stamp set & bundle seen here.  

    Below is the same card made with different papers from this DSP only the card base is Pale Papaya.  An entirely different look with the softer colors.  The flowers & leaves are from the same stamp set and die bundle.  


    Here's a photo of this incredible Expressions in Ink specialty designer paper also seen here.  You are going to love it!  I will be featuring it in June for a kit to go.  

    Below is the video; I hope you watch it.  Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel here.
