LadyBugs are Everywhere Today

Ain't they CUTE ! And they don't Bite! They're getting ready to fly to Nicole and Adam's Baby Shower this Coming Sunday (March 7).

I saw this in a crafting magazine not to long ago and forgot I knew how to do them. Only 3 punches, plus a fancy one.This one you necessary don't need, But I decided to use it. Never used it until now. (And it does look good in my punch collection). I also call it my "PARTY PUNCH", looks like something "NEEDED" at a party like "CONFETTI"!

LET'S GET PUNCHING...

*Supplies Needed*

Your Choice of Colored Cardstock

1 3/4" Circle Punch for the Body & Wings

3/4" Circle Punch - for their cute little heads

1/4" Circle Punch - for spots on the wings

The "PARTY PUNCH"- for the Antennas

 

     I punched out everything ! The party punch was alittle stiff  because of using a heavy-weighted cardstock.

Thinner in this case would have been better, after awhile the palm of my hand  did take a beating. But there

is 36 of those Cuties!

      Bend the 1 3/4" circle in half.

These are going to be the "WINGS".

Cut at crease line, this is the BEST way to get to the center of a circle.

Now you have a Left and a Right Wing.

My center wings are not PERFECTLY" cut, but that's O.K.

Not one will be alike, they all will have different personalities!

Now use the 1/4" punch for the spots on the wings. Color mix and match for the look

of your wings. Place and Glue

Place Wing half on  1 3/4" WHOLE circle. You will see in the next photo,

the distant, tilt and place both wings halvies together.

Glue, when happy with wing position

Glue the heads to the "BACK" of started LadyBug.

Should look like this.

Bend the party punch curl in half. Now you can cut in half, if you can work

with it better, either way is O.K.

Glue to the back of the head. Let sit for a minute, this will

help dry and sit the glue for a stiffer hold.

Take one of the same color circles (3/4" circle) and place and match up head. This

will hide and help to protect the Antenna's life.

Allow time for drying, check to make sure they are all firmly pressed.

With the cuties, they will serve as "PINS". I used a little squeeze of

Hot Glue, then placed Lapel Pins in glue- Do make sure that all your pins work

before glueing them to the LadyBugs.

Glue Magnets to the back to make

 Refrigerator Magnets!

Until Next time,

May stamping be in your Dreams!

Easter Eggs in Easter Baskets

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY and Good Morning to all of My Crafty Friends,

EASTER CARDS ARE FINALLY FINISHED!!!!

It was really hard to decide what I wanted. There are two different ideas that I wanted to try, when I started this card, I knew it was the one I want, and finally I could use my "VELLUM PAPER", which by the way are the baskets that the eggs are sitting in..

Cards open up long ways instead of the usual way.

MATERIALS:

Very Vanilla Cardstock #101650

Green Galore cardstock #101768

White Vellum #101839

Any Designer paper, your choice

Brads: Soft Subtles #106954

Your Favorite color Ink, Mine was Purely Pomegranate

PUNCHES: 1/16" hand punch

Small TAg # 108264

Designer Label: #107590

Any Ribbon you like- Yellow

STAMP SET : Eggcoutrements its the new CLEAR MOUNT stamp set #118556

Egg Pattern: here's a LINK

www.milliande-printables.com/Easter-Egg-Pattern-To-Print.html

  CARDSTOCK will be cut at 4 1/4"x 11, which this is your CARD itself. And 2 cards can be made from 1 sheet of cardstock.

Cardstock cut at 4 1/4"x 5 1/2", which this is your highlighted background

WHITE VELLUM is cut at 4 1/4"x 11", and you can see picture on how to...

  

After all cardstock is cut to size, let's do some Easter Eggs.

After you cut out a few of the eggs, wrap the Ribbon around top of egg and secure with a small piece of tape

Next would to stamp out all smaller pieces. When stamped, punch out all pieces.

Set aside when all cut out.

Use The Cuttle Bug or The Big Shot to make your highlighted background sheet.(small than the greeting card).

Set aside when finished... Let's move on to make the Baskets for the Easter Eggs.

Do as Shown

Repeat. Follow picture.

FOLD tip downwards to form a pocket.

Press to keep seam.

Use a small handheld hole puncher.

Soft Subtles BRADS

Punch thru, in center to attach Tag.

Slide egg into Vellum fold, hold and wrap end point around egg. Press to keep fold, then tape in back to secure basket.

Attach Egg to Swirl paper. Make sure before you do that you have it measured and cut down to highlight the inside of front. Once satified, glue to Very Vanilla.

Now glue the entire

piece to the CARDFRONT itself.

Continue to Glue accents to Cardfront. and these can be glue in different spots, its just a matter of taste and your judgement.

Now let's add some super highlights,which of course, it's gots to have GLITTER.

Trace the Swirls on the Very Vanilla paper, add more glue thand normal, because by the time you do too much outlining the glue starts to DRY, and then you have to slightly go over it again.

Allow time for DRYING, Maybe 10-15 minutes. Because we really want the glue to grab the glitter to hold it in place. we will lose some glitter just by moving them around, from a safe place to the envelope.

I hope this wasn't too confusing, everyone naturally will have his or her way of doing things, whatsever better for you.

I also hope to see ya soon again, until next time.

Keep  ink on your fingers and paper on the floor,

 Harriet
