I adore the new Ladybug punch and stamp set. And I have seen where others have turned the ladybug into a bee. Since I have a friend that loves bees, I had to make one.
Paper
I am beginning with the paper since that is where the bee begins. In case you have not noticed the great Host Rewards pack of paper, this is part of it. The Pattern Party Designer Series Paper is part of the Host Rewards in the Annual Catalog. You definitely cannot beat the value for your Host rewards. I only used part of one piece from the pack. These beautiful hearts are the opposite side of the black and white stripes. I used a small piece of the black and white to color with my Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend.
I found a scrap of the Gold Shimmer Vellum to use for the wings. Sadly this vellum is retired. I apologize because I thought it had carried over. However, you could use plain vellum and color it with the Stampin’ Blend as well. I have done it, and it works wonderfully.
Punches
I obviously used the Ladybug Punch for the body and wings of my bee. For the striped body, I aligned the paper so I just cut the fat part of the body. It is glued to the Basic Black full body. And the wings are attached using a glue dot at the center top.
For the Focal Area, I used the larger of the Heart Punch Pack. I like the added benefit of the scallops for the Focal spot. And to carry on the theme, I added that punched out heart to the inside of the card. Since it is a Basic White card base, the bright hearts really pop on the inside.
I hope you will try different bugs/bees with your Ladybug punch and share them with me.

In my opinion, Punch Bundles are a great value for your money. The Ladybug Bundle is $32.50. With an added $11.50 more, you qualify for one of the Free with $50.00 purchase items from SAB.

Or the second best part of SAB is the Join Promotion. You can read more below regarding the costs of joining. But there are way more benefits than the price. Currently with the SAB promotion, you can choose TWO stamp sets from either active catalog, in addition to the $125.00 in product. That could be over a $60.00 additional value!
