How to make a bumblebee with the Ladybug Builder punch

February 21, 2022

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.

Field & Flower Mystery Card

February 10, 2021

I am holding a mystery card challenge with me Team. I send them a variety of pieces in a card base and challenge them to use them to create a card. They can cut up or punch, or add anything to create an original card.

This week I'm sharing a few projects with the pretty Field & Flower DSP (seen here) from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's currently free with any $50 order US.

Here is what I came up with for my Mystery card:

Save

In their packet I added a White card base, a large piece of Flower & Field designer series paper, a strip of Bumblebee CS, punched Black & white pieces and some Bumblebee ribbon. I decided to add a few stitched flowers from the Pierced Bloom dies (seen here). Look at this amazing stitching!

Save

The Black center is from the Perennial Petal dies (seen here) however. I love that cute die! The greeting is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set.

To create this angled piece I started with a 4" X 4 1/4" piece of designer paper and just cut it in half on the diagonal. It really doesn't matter what your angle is. Then I added a strip of Bumblebee CS underneath the diagonal cut. So easy!
