Don't Let it Bug You!

Time to Celebrate and get some encouragement too! Don't let it Bug You is a stamp I purchased from Clear Dollar Stamps this year and it works great with this Bugaboo Lady bug, don't ya think? Thanks for stopping by today! 
Don't forget that Bugaboo is having a week long Birthday Celebration - you can enter your BIRTHDAY cards all week in their weekly challenge - hop over and see what all the celebration is about! Enjoy your week!
Recipe
* Scrap of white cardstock for the base card - (4 1/4 x 4 inches)
* Scraps of Kraft Cardstock for the sides using a paper crimper by Fiskars - first time to use 2 kraft strips on a card. I like how it turned out.
* Crop-a-dile to punch holes at top of card to insert red scrap piece of ribbon
* Crop-a-dile corner chopper
* Kraft Edgers Scissors - Majestic to cut side of card where it will open to write the message
* Don't let it bug you sentiment punch by Clear Dollar Stamps
*Lady Bug by Bugaboo Stamps
* Pop up tape Forever in Time
* Spectrum Noir Markers 
* Butterfly punch by EK Success (3 step punch)
* Score Tape Forever In Time to assemble the butterfly
* Powder Puff Mocha Mama Chalking ink for distress on card and stamp

  12. LadyBugs are meant to bring good luck. Did the LadyBug image come from Clear Dollar as well as the sentiment?
