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.

  • Feels Like Frost Fun Fold card


    Check out this beautiful fun fold card made by Annette for our Team swap in September!  Our theme was fun fold cards featuring products in the 2020 Holiday catalog.  

    She featured the Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Life is Beautiful stamp set.  This design is perfect for designer paper with a scene or large pattern.  

    I like the tag with the pretty Metallic Mesh ribbon.  That ribbon is so soft and it's in 1 1/2" wide but can easily be cut in sections without fraying!  

    Measurements:

    • Navy card – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4", tag is 1 1/4" X 3 3/4" 
    • Designer paper from left to right – 5 1/4" X 2 3/4", 5 1/4" X 1 1/8" and lastly on the right is 5 1/4" X 2"
    • Whisper White 5 1/5" X 1 3/4", tag is 1" X 3" 

    More Flowerbug Team swaps next week!

  • Christmas Cards kit to go; all Fun-fold cards! Opt in by the 20th!


    Yesterday I shared the Plaid Tidings cards kit and today I'm sharing my 2nd cards kit to go (I cannot seem to do just one; there's too many fabulous products!).

    I chose to feature the Heartwarming Hugs designer series paper seen below.  It includes a variety of tiny patterns of plaid, stripes, dots, and more in traditional Red's and Green's. I especially like the gingham and stripes.  Oh and the polka dots too!  

    Look at these cards!  Each one is a unique fun-fold card which is a delight for the recipient.  They're creative & fun but not too difficult for a non-stamper to figure out either.  They include latch folds, pocket, flip, easel cards & more!

    This pre-cut kit includes $20 in current Stampin' Up! product, all for just $28! Yes; you're getting the 10 cards for just a few dollars when you add in tax & shipping. 

    In your kit to go you'll receive:

    • 1/2 package of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (6" X 12")
    • 3/8" Red double stitched satin ribbon
    • Red Rhinestone jewels
    • the free pdf tutorial for all 10 cards (valued at $15)

    This pdf written tutorial is available separately at my Tutorial shop here.  It includes step by step directions, measurements, a supplies list and photos.  

    I used the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set on all 10 cards; it's a fabulous holiday set and coordinates with the Warm Wrap dies.  

    I have two card kits available in October.  You can see the other option here.
