Little Ladybug!

I love this cute Ladybug card!!!  It is just sooo cute!

I posted this card on my blog a couple of days ago.  Many of you have emailed me & asked me for the measurements.  I didn't have time to add them when I did the original blog post.  But keep reading below to find out more details now on how to make this card!

It is a fun z fold card.

I made the dots using my Memento ink pad & a sponge dauber!  NOTE:  Be sure you ink up your sponge dauber well & then press down hard & HOLD a few seconds to help get a darker spot.  

You can CLICK HERE to see my original blog post on it!

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the ladybugs & the stemmed flower too!  I had the 3 ladybugs lined up like this onto one plate.  I stamped them all at one time!  The stemmed flower was on the other clear plate.  It worked out great stamping them this way!

 I then colored them!  And then cut out all 3 ladybugs at one time!

 Look at all of them I made!

 Some special people got some special happy mail!
