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!

Some MORE cards using Flowering Foils DSP!

I cut apart a 12x12 sheet of the Flowering Foils DSP!  Even the flowers along the edges look awesome when fussy cut out with your scissors, colored & put onto a card!

Check out all of these pretty cards using various flowers!

I used the same layouts, but they have different flowers on them.  All of these flowers were ones that I cut from around the outside edge of the DSP.  So depending on where the edge was- that made my decision on where I was going to put the flower on the card. 

Check out these flowers that I put along the inside edge!  I really like how this looks!  And adding some Champagne rhinestones too- just makes the card more dressy & elegant!

Check out these flowers that I put into the bottom corner of the card!!!  They too are gorgeous!! 

This single edged flower looks great here along the bottom edge/corner here too!!  

And this is the card that I posted yesterday with the 2 larger flowers.  Notice how I added 3 Champagne rhinestones to it!  Wow.....it just amazes me that a little bling like that can change the whole look & feel of the card.  I just love it!  I love all 4 of them!

So add some of this gorgeous Flowering Foils DSP to your order this month!  Then grab your Stampin Blends to color the flowers & leaves!  AND have fun creating some gorgeous cards like these!

card stock:

• Rococo Rose- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4- fold in half for card base

I love how this card turned out!

I colored the Flowering Foils DSP using my Stampin' Blends!

How did I do it?

This was just so easy to do!
