This week’s Global Design Project is a fun theme challenge! Beautiful Bugs! It was the perfect opportunity for my favorite ladybug to pay me a visit.

This ladybug is so cute, and easy to make. First, I used the Ladybug Builder Punch to cut her head and body from Basic Black Cardstock. Then, I stamped her wings in Sweet Sorbet Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used the same punch for cutting. The wings were attached with a tiny bit of glue at the neck, and a Mini Dimensional under each wing.

“You can bug me anytime”

The ladybug was ready to munch on green leaves, so I stamped three leaves from the Hello Ladybug Stamp Set in Parakeet Party Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping the leaves, I used Paper Snips for fussy cutting (cutting by hand).

To add to the ladybug’s feast, I used the Medium Daisy Punch to cut six rounds of petals from Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used Mini Dimensionals to attach the rounds of petals, making three flowers. Don’t you love the centers? They were made with a wonderful, Poppy Moments Die from Daffodil Delight Cardstock.

The background is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the second largest Stitched Rectangles Die. I attached this layer, with Dimensionals, to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Prior to attaching the layer, I threaded Gingham Ribbon through the sentiment label (created with a Waves Die), and secured the ends with Glue Dots on the back.

“You can bug me anytime” is from the Hello Ladybug Stamp Set, stamped in Stazon Black Ink.
