Ladybug Card

 Have you ever just fell in love with a card and immediately decided you have to have the stamp set to make it?  I usually don't buy craft items just to make one card.  I like to be able to use the stamp set for different ideas - to spread the wealth if you know what I mean!  Even though I purchased this stamp set to make this card, I'm sure my impulse buying will pay off in the future!

Isn't this card just adorable??  I sent this card to one of my dear friends just to let her know I was thinking about her.  The stamp set is called Under My Umbrella with matching punch from SU.  Of course, when I went to buy it from my demonstrator I found out it had been discontinued  and was no longer in the new catalog - that figures!  So I headed out to Ebay and was able to get it on their website!  On a previous card I made, the same thing happened when I was looking for the stamp set Happiest of Birthdays which I ended up finding on Etsy.  Why do they eliminate the good stamps?  I also used SU's stamp set and punch called Little Ladybug on the card as well.  I used a very light ink shade of gray for my raindrops.  Aren't they so cute??  I also used my Wink of Stella on the umbrella and ladybugs.  

Here is a picture of the inside.  I just love using the little ladybugs!  I hope you like this card as much as I do.

Ladybug Card

 Jennifer has been on vacation with her Dad and I wanted to have a card ready for her when she came home.  She loves ladybugs so I thought I would use SU's Hello Ladybug stamp set along with the matching punch.

I saw a video that - Brenda Quintana - made on her website and fell in love with it and knew that it was what I wanted to make for Jennifer.  I changed the colors and design up a bit using some scrap DSP I had on hand.

For inside my card, I used some more of the DSP and colored in another ladybug.  I thought it turned out so cute and she loved it!

Jennifer's Birthday Card

Well, we're back after having a great time checking out our favorite spots in New England.  Just in time to get ready for Thanksgiving!!  Am I the only one that thinks time is flying by way too fast!!  Uploading my pictures, I realized that I did not post Jennifer's birthday card.  She loves ladybugs which is what she was for Halloween, so I decided to make a card with some ladybugs on it wishing her Happy Birthday!

I made an A2 size card in Whisper White and punched out their little bodies with some scraps of SU DSP.  Using matching CS, I punched out their heads and popped them up with some dimensionals and gave them some wiggle eyes.  I used my Black SU marker and made some legs.  I put this on another layer of Whisper White which I adhered to my base card.

Since Jennifer's birthday is on Halloween, I try to combine both her birthday wishes and Halloween.  On the inside of her card,  I stamped a birthday cake and colored it in and placed a Halloween sticker I had on the opposite side of the card.  When she opened it up she was so excited with the little ladybugs!!
