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.

  • Gather Together Tag Punch Fun Fold


    Check out this fun fold card Deloris made for a recent Team swap.  Our theme was fun folds from the 2020 Holiday catalog. 

    She used the Gather Together bundle seen here and the Scalloped Tag Topper punch seen here.  


    Her colors are Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock, Early Espresso & Sahara Sand.  The tag punch is pushed in to create the design on both edges and then the sides are trimmed with a paper trimmer.  A really lovely design!  

    I'll be sharing more of my Team Fun-fold card swaps next week!
