This fun little bug card is one I made for one of the gals on my team who heads off to Florida for the winter.
The sentiment comes from THE RIGHT WORDS, and the die cuts come from BEAUTIFULLY CELEBRATED. I love the new HEARTS OF LOVE Embossing Folder, don't you??!!
A scattering of LOW PROFILE DOTS finish it off.
The dies from SWEET BUGS cut out the images from the designer paper, but I didn't purchase the stamp set/bundle so I fussy cut this little guy out with no problem.
This second card was made for my hubby for his birthday. He actually has a Valentine's Day birthday. (which kind of messes with things to be honest)We will celebrate 49 years this June and he still makes my heart buzz!! The stamp set for the sentiment is from BEE MY VALENTINE
Here are the instructions that Su shared:
I began with a card base of Mossy Meadow, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, scored on the long side, 3″, 6″, and 7 1/4″, and folded. The top piece is 3″ X 8 1/2″, scored on the long side at 4 1/4″, and folded in half.
After cutting and folding, I glued Sweet As A Bug Designer Paper to the front of the card base: 5 1/4″ X 2 3/4″ and 5 1/4″ X 1″. Then, I glued a different pattern of Cute As A Bug Designer Paper to the front of the top piece, 2/3/4″ X 4″. When gluing the top piece to the card base, I glued only the portion that touches the card base, while laying folded, and flat, to insure the edges were even. I also added Basic White Cardstock to the inside, 5 1/4″ X 2 3/4″, for a personal message.
“You make my heart buzz” is from the Be Mine Stamp Set, stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used an Endless Love Die for cutting the heart. The flowers and bee were cut from Cute As A Bug DSP with Sweet Bugs Dies, and all were attached with Dimensionals. I like the way the flowers fit the shape of the heart. For extra pizazz, I added three Ladybug Epoxy Shapes. Can you find the third one, hidden on a leaf?
FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN FEBRUARY, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE BEAUTIFULLY CELEBRATED BUNDLE (A $53 VALUE)
I LOVE THESE DIES ESPECIALLY, AND THOSE CORNER DIES ARE SO PERFECT FOR CARD MAKING AND SCRAPBOOKING
