May 10, 2007      Nichole Heady      36 Comments

I know many of you have been waiting anxiously to get a sneak peek at Papertrey’s May 15th stamp release.  So, without further ado, here is your first glimpse at a few things this set has to offer!

051007_card_3
This ladybug image is my interpretation of the popular insect’s infamous markings.  I divided the image into two quick steps that make it easy to achieve two colors.  The solid wings are stamped first, followed by a special "all-inclusive" stamp that has all the spots, head & tail, perfectly &  permanently placed!  On this particular project, I cut the main body out and raised it on foam dimensionals and then applied a thick layer of Crystal Effects.

051007_glue_dot_3
And here’s a little ribbon tip.  I hate trying to get knots to lay flat when wrapping ribbon around a card.  So I have a little shortcut I use all the time.  I adhere a strip of ribbon flat against my card front.  I then use a short scrap of the same ribbon and tie a single knot.  I trim the ends to the desired length and apply a glue dot directly to the back of the knot.

051007_bow_3
Then all that is left is to adhere it directly to the strip of ribbon on my card front!  It lays perfectly every time!

    BRAVO!! on the ribbon knot trick!! Mine always skews sideways, so this is great!! I may “pinch-in” a bit where I lay the knot, so it will look tied.
    The Lady bug is adorable!! Go fast 5 days!!!

    Oh Nichole this card is totally gorgeous! Looooooooove this ladybug :o) I had a question though – do the words and flowers come in this set too or are they part of one of your other sets? Also did you freehand the dotted trail behind the ladybug? I think I am going to love this whole set and hope I can be quick enough to get one before they are sold out!

    Cute ladybug! Thanks for the ribbon tie & popdot hint. I always wanted to try this, but was afraid the popdot wouldn’t hold. Good to hear you’ve had such good luck with it.

    Another “must have” set, I can see it already…you’ve had me hooked since day one, and I don’t see this particular “love affair” with your stamps ending any time soon!

    You are a great inspiration – I’ve been following your work in Papercrafts for a long time! Ü
