{Ladybug}

This is one of the projects I used during my presentation at the Australia/New Zealand Stampin Up Convention in Brisbane last month.

I've done this with a number of groups, and each one has gotten better and better at the technique. Or someone has gotten better at explaining it . . .anyway, it's a really neat way to use Stampin Up's wonderful range of punches. Learning new techniques with your basic tools gives you better value for money when you do make a purchase. This is one reason why having a Stampin Up demonstrator is beneficial - she should be teaching you new ways to use both new products and the ones you have already purchased from her.

The very adorable ladybug stamp is a tiny one in the Garden Whimsy set. We did a birthday card in Chocolate Chip and Certainly Celery with this set (scroll down to see) earlier, and achieved a very different look!

The scallop at the bottom of the Whisper White piece was done using the corner rounder punch. Karen gave us a very helpful tip when doing this technique at my Wednesday's class. Please email to learn how to make the scallop and to find out Karen's tip at stamphappy@xtra.co.nz.

To schedule a class to learn this card and other techniques, or to order any of the products used, please email me at stamphappy@xtra.co.nz.
