Hello Ladybug Artisan Design Team Project

/

Hello friends! This month my group on the Artisan Design Team was assigned the Hello Ladybug Bundle to create with. I was really excited about this bundle as I immediately saw my cute ladybugs in pastel colors. That is the best thing about being the designer, we can create things in any color schemes we like!

I had the perfect picture of my kids for this page layout. This was taken several summers ago at our local zoo. I let the colors of the greenery impact the color of green I used in my layout.

Each month along with our projects we need to share a tip with everyone and as soon as I saw the Ladybug Builder Punch I knew I wanted to share my template tip. Each time we introduce a new builder punch I created a template. The template allows me to align my stamps on a block with perfect precision and have them punch out with little to no paper waste. I then store the template in the stamp case so I always know where to find it.

After you have created the template place the stamps on an acrylic block using the template, stamp and punch!

For both of the projects I designed I used the Vellum 12x12 Layering Designs. I absolutely love this vellum and am so happy it is in a 12x12 format for scrapbooking. Both projects also use DSP from the In Color 2021/23 In Color 6x6 stack.

The colors I used to create my scrapbook page and card are Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Garden Green, Flirty Flamingo and Basic Grey. Black felt like too much of a contrast for the ladybugs so I softened them a bit by using Basic Grey.

Top Tip: Did you know that the daisy in the Hello Ladybug stamp set can be cut with the Medium Daisy Punch in the annual catalogue? I was so excited about that!

I did hand trim the leaves and the flowers to add as accents onto my scrapbook page. I added some of the Polished Dots as embellishments. They are such a great embellishment as they coordinate with everything!

I hope my projects have inspired you to think about using this cute little bundle for card making and scrapbooking! Make sure to check out the whole Artisan Design Team’s projects this month. You will be amazed at what everyone has designed!
