Daffodil Delight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic Black card – 2½” by 2⅜”
Basic White card – 2⅛” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

The small panel of Basic White was glued to the Basic Black layer and then to the card front using the same liquid glue.

Using the Ladybug Builder Punch, I punched a ladybird body from scrap Basic Black card. The wings were stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink onto scrap Basic White card and punched out. I shaped the wings using a Bone Folder and glued them to the black body with a little liquid glue. I added the bug to the white square on Dimensionals.

Ladybird Birthday Card

Posted on April 23, 2023April 23, 2023 by Mo Rootes

I am sharing a sweet ladybird birthday card made using the Hello Ladybug stamps set.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the ladybird card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Parakeet Party card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic Black card – 3¼” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 2¼” by 2⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

Using Sweet Sorbet ink, I randomly stamped the daisy flower all over the 5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card. I added the flower centres using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The trio of tiny dots were added, randomly, over the same panel using Parakeet Party ink. The decorated panel was then glued to the Parakeet Party layer which was then adhered to the Sweet Sorbet card base. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive on both occasions.

The sentiment, from the Go To Greetings stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black along the bottom of the small basic white panel.

The cute little ladybird was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink above the sentiment and the wings added with Sweet Sorbet ink.

Using the Penned Dies, I die-cut a scalloped edge along the bottom of the 3¼” by 2¼” panel of Basic Black card. I glued the sentiment piece above the scalloped edge and trimmed the excess length of card away. A length of Black Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel, secured on the back with Sellotape.

The whole piece was added to the card front on Dimensionals and a Black Baker’s Twine bow completed the card.

So sweet, I hope you like it.

For the Stamper's Showcase Blog Hop we are CASEing the catalogue and I have chosen to use the Hello Ladybug card

Missing Ladybug for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on February 28, 2022February 28, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where we are CASEing a project from the catalogue. CASeing means either Copy and Share Everything, which basically means making the card as it is shown or Copy and Selectively Edit which means using the project as a jumping off point and adding your own spin to it. I have chosen the sweet, Missing Ladybug card from page 20 of the January – June Mini Catalogue and have made it my own by changing the colour combo.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the missing ladybug card, you will need:

Fresh Freesia card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅝” scored at 4⅛”
Gorgeous Grape card – 5⅝” by ½”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3”
Pool Party card – 3¼” by 1¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

Using the trio of flowers, I stamped up the front of the smaller Basic White panel with Gorgeous Grape ink.
