Stampin Up Bug Me - Bee

Of the three Bug Me cards I have made so far this one is my favorite! I know the ladybug should be my favorite but I just love how the bee turned out and I think the colors of the card appeal to me more.

I actually had chosen different papers but didn't like how they looked so I just flipped them over and used them...another reason I love double sided paper!

As you can see I once again used the Petite Petals! I think you might believe me now about how much I just love that bundle!

I am doing my best to use every Stampin Up ink pad I have since I haven't used them in awhile and plus I want them to dry up so I can order the new ones! They are A to the W to the E SOME! None of the colors on this card uses the new colors though.






I stamped the bee's wings on some transparency paper and then cut them out. I like this paper so much better than velum because it prints and stamps well plus it was a lot cheaper. I am not even sure who makes the paper as I got it at the local bargain store a few years ago when they got some craft supplies in. I did buy several packs after first using it because I knew when it was gone it was going to be gone! It glues well with the Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive, and that is what I used to add the wings. I did color the stripes on the bee and then added some yellow Stickles. I hand doodled the little flight pattern.

Oh the corners of the stamped image was done with the Stampin Up Ticket punch. Sometimes I use so many different tools on a project I can't even remember what all I have used!

Stampin Up - Bug Me Butterfly

There isn't just a butterfly stamp in the Bug Me set, but instead there is a bug body, a head and some wings so you can build your bugs how you want them. I'm not sure how I feel about the smiley bug face but I have to admit I can deal with it better than I can where there is food with faces...that just kinda freaks me out.

When having to stamp different parts together I always go to my Stamp-Ma-Jig for help. When I first got it I thought it would be a pain to use but it is really simple and makes the little extra time worth it so I don't mess up one image after another.

The border punch is Stampin Up Scallop Trim Border punch and it has a coordinating corner punch that I got at a garage sale but haven't used yet...maybe someday, but not today.





The yellow scallop circle is the Stampin Up 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch. I don't know what it is about the scallop circles but I just love them!

I'm not sure I have ever seen a Rich Razzleberry and Pumpkin Pie butterfly and not sure I will ever see one again but it sure worked for this card! I find this card a little simple but it is very cheerful looking so I like it okay.

Stampin Up Bug Me - Ladybug

The Bug Me stamp set was one I ordered when I had my online Stampin Up party and while I fell in love with the ladybug image I also thought the other little bugs were cute as well.

I got this idea from a search, where most of my ideas come from. I also choose not to ink edges! It's amazing how much faster things go together when you aren't inking all the edges. For the head of the ladybug I used part of the stamp for the bee and colored with my black Stampin Up marker. I used the same method for the antenna.




 
The Petite Petals punch and stamps are really great to add little flowers and with the different images on the stamps you can make elegant or cutesy.
