Caterpillar Card Fun

April 25, 2008      Nichole Heady      13 Comments

I hadn’t seen many people use the caterpillar bits & pieces that Candice included in her new Pond Life set, so I thought I would put together a little card using them.  The set includes the head, body segment & backside all as separate images.  I loved this detail because it allows you, the artist, to do two things; control the length of the caterpillar & alternate the colors used for each body part.  For my project today, I wanted to make a bright, cheerful, sunny card, so I pulled out my new favorites, Lemon Tart & Summer Sunrise.  I created a few different patterned papers using a variety of stamp sets (see the supply list below) to create a strip medley on the cover.

After I had completed stamping my caterpillar, I added this fun sentiment from Pond Life Sentiments.  I think it is just SO adorable!  I also added Stickles to the little guy.  He just needed a little accessorizing!  Did you purchase Pond Life with our most release?  I would love to see your projects using the little caterpillar.  He has so many possibilities!  I know the Simple Alphabet would fit in each segment of the body, which would be so cute spell out a child’s name!

    This is fabulous! I love this layout because of the “tag” image. Possibilities are endless!

    The set just arrived yesterday so I didn’t get a chance to play with it but I had the same thing in mind that what you did, a bi-color caterpillar, only mine will be blue and green… 🙂

    I actually made a caterpillar card last night! I think he / she is adorable. I used lemon tart, spring moss, aqua mist and urnt umber as my alternating colors for the caterpillar.

    Great card. I never would have thought to mix caterpillars with flowers. I have got the set but have yet to be able to ink it up. I can’t wait.

    slowly but surely I’m changing my mind about “needing” this set.
    Great card.

    Hi Nichole,
    I made this card the other night. I wish this was a better photograph, but I was just having issues last night! LOL! Anyway, loving the new set and can’t wait to use it again!

    p.s. my 2 year old thought they were eggs, and my 4 year old said they were balloons with legs!
