An adorable Bumble Bee card (a swap from Terri Gaines) was what influenced the bee box that I shared on April 13th.

I took several aspects of Terri’s card and made the Happy Birthday card that I’m sharing with you today (shown below). I love how the Ladybug Punch can create so much more. I actually put this card together first after receiving Terri’s swap. And then I HAD to make more with that fabulous Ladybug punch which is what led to those boxes on the 13th.

Below are the details for my version of the card if you wish to recreate it. (By the way, the larger Daisy Punch, the Playing with Patterns Resin Dots, and the Pattern Party Designer Paper will be retiring soon. So grab up those products sooner than later if you want them.)

Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Measurements

• Basic White Cardstock
  • 5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
  • Scraps for punching daisies
• Basic Black Cardstock
  • (2 pcs.) 3/4″ x 4-1/4”
  • Scrap for punching ladybug
• Pattern Party Designer Paper (striped B&W pattern)
  • Scrap for punching ladybug abdomen
• Crushed Curry Cardstock
  • 3-3/4″ x 4-1/4″
• Vellum Cardstock
  • Scrap (folded on one edge at about 3/4″) for punching wings

Directions

• Color one of large Playing with Patterns Resin Dots with the Dark Basic Black Blends Marker.
• Punch two of each flower. Layer them together and add the black Resin Dot to the center of the smaller flower.
• Punch the full ladybug body from the Basic Black Cardstock. Punch just the abdomen from the striped paper (watch the direction of the lines).
• Stamp HAPPY and BIRTHDAY on the Crushed Curry Cardstock. Emboss with the Hive 3D Embossing Folder.
• Use the Blending Brush to add Crushed Curry ink to areas of the Crushed Curry Cardstock and ladybug abdomen.
• Punch the wings from the vellum and assemble the bee… Watch the tutorial video from April 13th (starting at the 16 minute mark) to see how to punch the vellum wings properly and for tips on putting this bee together so the wings “fly.”
• Add Dimensionals to the back of the bee and the small flower. Use Seal and/or Multipurpose Liquid Glue for the other pieces. And assemble the card as shown.
