What do you think?
All my girlfriends aren’t online right now. I have a stamp camp tomorrow and needed one more card. I needed something with a darker blue. Most of the other cards have green and saffron in it. Do you like it? Please let me know.
I had seen so many cute ladybugs made with the Pick a Petal set, I thought I give it a whirl. Since I already have one Joy card, two square cards and a normal size card, I thought I make a 3 1/4″” x 6 1/4″ card that fits in the smaller long envelopes Stampin’ Up! carries.
The card base is a 6 1/2″ x 6 1/4″ piece of Blue Bayou cardstock folded in half. On top of that is a 3″ x 6″ piece of white cardstock. I took a 1 1/2″ x 6″ piece of Rose Red Prints designer paper and scalloped the edges with the newly retired corner rounder (I am curious to see how the new smaller corner rounder will look as a scalloped edge). I tied some black grosgrain over that.
I stamped a saying from Stem Saying behind the ladybug.
The ladybug is made with two blue bayou polka dotted leaves from Pick a Petal and two 1″ circles. I paper pierced it’s antennas, to tie in the paper piercing on the top right.
So….would you like to make this at a stamp camp?

I think it’s a winner, Beate! Cute design & something all the ladies would like to make - I know I would.

Love it!!!
Posted by: Amy | July 6th, 2007 19:19
It’s adorable! I’d love to make a card like this. I especially like the flower stem words as the butterfly’s trail!
Posted by: Michelle | July 6th, 2007 19:30
I LOVE it!!! Great way to use the set & punch and great card for a stamp camp. I WISH I lived closer because I would come make it at your stamp camp.

That is super cute! I would love to do that at Stamp Camp!! I love how the words follow the ladybug!
Posted by: Regina | July 6th, 2007 19:37
yes, I’d LOVE to make it! It’s adorable & a creative use for the petals!
Posted by: Donna | July 6th, 2007 19:39
I think it is very clever - love the idea of the petals as wings! “easy” to complete - yet looks very “deep”. I love those scallops edges too… be sure to post an image of the scallop with the new corner rounder - we are all anxious to see the difference. It’s a winner!

I think I like the pick-a-petal better as a lady bug than a flower! Love it!!!!
Posted by: Lisa | July 6th, 2007 19:42
I’m always looking for more than one way to use a stamp set, ’cause I cant come up with that kind of creativity on my own. Yes, I’d love to make this at a stamp camp
Posted by: mnhyrkas | July 6th, 2007 19:45
Super cute, Beate!!I love the Happy Birthday “trail”, the antennae, the piercing, the scallops…everything! I think this would be awesome for a stamp camp!
Posted by: Rose Ann | July 6th, 2007 19:50
Definitely, this is adorable!
Posted by: Valerie | July 6th, 2007 19:51
I love it! Can I come to your stamp camp??
Posted by: Libby | July 6th, 2007 19:53
Awesome!

I LOVE THIS CARD!!!!!!! I wish you lived closer????Elizabeth Glass
Posted by: Elizabeth Glass | July 6th, 2007 20:14
WOWZERS!! Love it! You’re creations are always wonderful and this one is no exception!
Posted by: Jennifer Weide | July 6th, 2007 20:16
Yes, love it! Just go ahead and get it ready for your stamp camp!
I know I would LOVE to make that card!
Posted by: janet d. | July 6th, 2007 20:23
Omigosh, that is amazing. I didn’t realize at first that it was the pick a petal set. Now I am kicking myself for not getting it at a discount. I thought you were using the Papertrey set and was at first wondering how you were able to use it for a stamp camp. Light on, now I know. That trail is adorable too. I am so going to get these two sets now and try this!
Posted by: sophia Landry | July 6th, 2007 20:23
Yes, I’d love to make this!
Posted by: Lynn Brown | July 6th, 2007 20:53
Yes! It’s adorable. Mind if I use it at mine?? Thanks for sharing!
Posted by: Jackie W. | July 6th, 2007 21:04
Beate, LOVE this card! I would totally want to make it. Do you supply the envies for it to your camp customers?
Thanks for sharing!

Posted by: Terri E. | July 6th, 2007 21:13
Well, I’m a little late on my comment. Just got home from a night out. But wanted to let you know that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this card and would scream with delight if I got to make it at your stamp camp! In fact, I think I would scream with delight at making ANYTHING at YOUR stamp camp!!!! Where you been girl? I’ve missed you. You haven’t stopped by Heartfelt Greetings in such a long, long time!
Hugs to you,
Amy

Hmmm. . . would I want to make the CUTEST ladybug card IN THE WORLD? Let me think about it!
I have GOT to make this card. . .oh my goodness! It is so freakin’ cute!
Posted by: Charmaine | July 6th, 2007 21:20
Hi Beate,
I love this design, I’m such a sucker for ladybugs. I’d be thrilled if this was on the agenda at a stamp camp, great way to make use of the Pick a Petal set! Have fun!
Posted by: Julie Mutch | July 6th, 2007 21:25
Seriously cute!
Posted by: Linda | July 6th, 2007 21:44
Absolutely adorable!!! I *love* it!

Posted by: Niki | July 6th, 2007 22:11
This is fantastic! I may CASE it for one of my stamp camps! Thanks for sharing.
Posted by: Shannon McGann | July 6th, 2007 22:22
Awesome stamp camp addition! How far of a drive from Northeast Alabama- heeheehee. I especially like the antenae and, of course, the scallops.
Posted by: Beth | July 6th, 2007 22:32
i would love to make this card.
it shows you a different way of using the stamps (wow.. i can make something else than a flower with that set) AND it shows you how to use punches when making cards.
for the longest time (while with my first demo) i had no clue how to do that. i do like tho ladybugs in red.
Posted by: ClaudiafromGermany | July 6th, 2007 22:38
It’s terrible. You should get rid of it right away. (you’ve got my address, right?)
Posted by: PJBstamper | July 6th, 2007 23:01
I would love to make this - I wish I could come!
Posted by: Whitney | July 6th, 2007 23:03
Beate, I think it is the worst card you have ever done - in fact, I think I should give you my address so you can send it to me right away and get rid of it *wink* LOVE IT!!! Love everything you make! You rock! *HUGS* Alex
Posted by: lilstamperalex | July 6th, 2007 23:24
I would give my eye teeth to make a card at one of your stamp camps and this card is no exception! It’s a gem.
Posted by: Karen (Karen Stamps! on scs) | July 6th, 2007 23:34
I think it’s pretty, girlfriend! Off to bed for me. . . company just left and it’s freaking midnight!
Posted by: jenn | July 7th, 2007 00:06
Love this card and would dearly love to come to your stamp camp!!! Just one problem - I live thousands of miles away LOL. That is just a dream I will never fulfil! Always admire your work Beate!! Cheers, Jean in Australia
Posted by: Jean McKenzie | July 7th, 2007 01:26
What a perfect card!!!! LOVE it!!
Posted by: Kimberly Van Diepen | July 7th, 2007 01:43
I love it! Now you’ve made me want to buy that set!
Posted by: Gretchen | July 7th, 2007 08:38
This is super cute Beate! Your stamp camp sounds awesome from what you posted above. Everyone will love their cards!
Linda
Posted by: Linda (LSN on SCS) | July 7th, 2007 08:42
Of course I would! Who wouldn’t???? But a suggestion….wouldn’t it be more cost efficient for you to make a 6 x 6 and fold it? You would get 4 cards to a sheet of Blue Bayou… And it will still fit in the long envelope. Have a great Stamp Camp!!
Posted by: Diane J Ouellette | July 7th, 2007 09:07
Great way to use those petals and the colours work so well. You always inspire!
Posted by: Janine | July 7th, 2007 09:22
I wish I lived near you to attend stamp camp. This is just adorable and I would love it. Very creative. Have fun with the ladies. TFS
Posted by: Dottie K | July 7th, 2007 10:05

Posted by: Sheri Thomas | July 7th, 2007 11:13
Love it! This so makes me want to order this set. I’ve been holding off thinking that I really don’t need another flower set but ooohhhh, I love ladybugs and this is adorable!
Posted by: Amber Porter | July 7th, 2007 11:19
Oh for Pete’s sake, this is too cute. Of course I’d make one of these and if you lived closer I’d come to your camp too.
Posted by: Bonnie aka raduse | July 7th, 2007 11:40

I just had to tell you have wonderful this is!!! I just love it! The size is perfect for that adorable ladybug! I’m not one that usually likes “animals” made from punches…but this is really, really cute!

OMGosh — love it!!! Who wouldn’t want to make this at Stamp Camp?!? The colors, the word trail, the scallops — it’s just great!! Thanks for sharing it!
Posted by: christina (cmf1216) | July 7th, 2007 19:05
Probably a little late with my comment, still internet deprived, really like the colors you used on this card, like blue with the rose paper.
Posted by: florence | July 7th, 2007 19:17
Yes!! This is fantastic!! I hope you used it!!
Posted by: Barbra1224 | July 7th, 2007 21:05

Posted by: sandie C | July 7th, 2007 22:05
Wow, this is fabulous! I’d definitely want to do this at a camp! I need to make one of these for myself, so I’ll feel like I was at your card camp. I’d love to see a group photo of the cards you made at your workshop too! If you’d be so inclined to post it!!! TFS!
Posted by: Rhonda | July 7th, 2007 22:11

Posted by: leslierich | July 9th, 2007 00:42
