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.

  • Boho Indigo meets the Rectangular Postage punch!


    The Boho Indigo product medley is beautiful!  Check it out on page 9 of the annual catalog or click here.  

    The medley comes with a whole bunch of products all in one box including stamps, dies, beautiful designer paper in 6 X 6" size, textured card stock, die-cuts, ribbon and paper/bead flowers.  The colors are Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Vanilla, White, Garden Green & gold. 

    There's even a refill option (without the stamps, dies & ribbon) but it is on back order until mid July.  It includes the papers and the flowers.  See that here. 

    I decided to use the Rectangular Postage punch for a quick, pretty card.  See it here. 

    The colors are Misty Moonlight, Seaside Spray & White.  The Misty Moonlight pieces are textured with the Meadow Moments embossing folder. The greetings are from the Fancy Phrases stamp set seen here. I used the Tailored Tag punch for the front greeting.  That delicate flower on the greeting is included in the Product Medley AND the refill for it.    

    Measurements:

    • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    •  Seaside Spray 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • Misty Moonlight 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"

    I'll share another project from this product medley tomorrow!

    The new Rainbow Glimmer paper is absolutely amazing! Have you seen it yet?  Click here.

    If you like colors, and I mean sparkly, bright colors you need to get some of this Rainbow glimmer paper!  It's on page 153 of the Annual Catalog.  

    Here I used the Many Medallion dies to cut a full sheet of this pretty paper and adhered it to a Black card.  All it needed was a simple greeting (Tasteful Touches set) and bow made with the new Pool Party sheer ribbon!  

    How about another option? 

    I used the same strip of this paper for this die-cut; it's just further down on the sheet.  So many beautiful colors in gradient hues.  The greeting is from the Field of Flowers stamp set. 

    Here are both cards side by side.

     


     

    Which do you think highlights this beautiful glimmer paper better; white or black?  I was torn so I did one of each.

    I made these cards to send out to everyone who purchased the Starter Kit from me in June.  


    I used the Gorgeous Posies stamp set (seen here) in Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral.  I just love our Distinktive style stamps!!


    I stamped the large flower once in full strength Calypso Coral ink, stamped below without reinkining, and then lastly off to the right side.  Look at the gorgeous leaves; they are two different images. Both full strength ink but the solid style leaf is the Distinktive style so you get multiple hues of ink with just one stamping.  I did stamp the flower center dots image using White Craft ink. 

    The greeting is from a stamp set only Demonstrators can purchase. The die is from the Tasteful Labels dies.
