a special birthday --

hi everyone --

been a while since i posted -- but i have a cute ladybug birthday card and bag for you today!

i have been blessed with 3 god-children (one is my nephew, 2 my best friends little ones), and the youngest little one just turned 1!  happy birthday little sophia!

it was a ladybug themed party -- and i'm so thrilled with how this turned out.

isn't this the sweetest card! :)

 the card base was done using a Sizzix die in my Cuttlebug -- it's this die:



i used black cardstock covered with the red and black polka dot paper.

the ladybug is popped up on a demensional, and is made using a 1 1/4 circle punch for the head - large oval punch, and 2 medium punches (SU punches were used) for the body and the wings.

the stamp set fro the letters is from hampton arts.

i drew - freehand, the lines and dots around the edge of the white cardstock. 

how fun, right?!

but, no 1st birthday ladybug party gift could be without a special bag ;)

i purchased the red bag, and used my 1 3/8 SU pinch to make some ladybug spots -- glued them all over the bag.  how cute, and EASY!

then, i added the fun name tag.  the white craft ink (SU)made it look like a chalkboard.

too cute, and the birthday girl loved the fun colors! :)


thanks so much for stopping by!  be sure to stop back soon!

happy stamping!  hope to see you again soon!
