SF-2022 January Blog Hop - Life’s Occasions

 

Be sure to hop through all the blogs on the list near the bottom for tons of wonderful inspiration as we Celebrate Life's Occasions!
 ~*~*~*~*~  

This month is all about Celebrating Life's Occasions - all those special days in our lives.   I chose to celebrate birthdays with a fun Ladybug card and gift set -


I used the Hello Ladybug bundle for my  projects - stamped the flowers in two generations using Bumblebee and Calypso Coral inks.  Scattered flowers everywhere.


For the card I layered that on black and then onto the white base.  The leaf from the set was stamped in Old Olive and fussy cute.  Sentiment is also from the set.  To finish it off I stamped and punched the wings of the lady bug.  Punched the body out of black and attached together with glue dots.  Then I wanted to make a little Bag-a-lope gift package to go with it -

These are so fun to make and perfect for all those little gifts you want to gift, ie - gift cards, jewelry, candy and more.  After folding - I used many of the same elements to decorate it so it would match the card.  Here's a view from the side.

To finish both projects off I added twine from the Fan Baker's Twine and some of our Red Rhinestone Basic jewels to add some fun touches.  The twine doubles as a closure on the Bag-a-lope!  Here it is from the front -


That ladybug is just so stinkin' cute!  I hope you enjoyed these projects and got some inspiration!
