Lady Bug Thanks Instructions

Over the Christmas break I was able to get some time away with my friends and we headed down to Phillip Island. I dragged (but with pleasure and excitement) my stamping and scrapbooking things with me. Jodie (my downline) and I managed to spend a bit of time playing so over the new few posts I will try and show you what we got up to!.

I got this idea and stole it from the regional training in melbourne. I have no idea who had created it and if anyone knows please let me know so that I can acknowledge them.

Cut a piece of real red card 4cm x 17cm

Score on the lengthways edge (long edge) at 6cm, 8cm, and 14cms

Fold up as pictured. Dont glue at this stage

Stamp your image onto the desired panel

Cut a 4cm x3cm piece of basic black and place one of the 4cm sides into the scollap punch and punch one edge

Attach to red card with snail

Attach chocolate to inside of card

Seal top

Color sections of ladybug with markers and stamp onto whisper white

Look What I have been up to!!!

I found this Ink Pad holder whilst blog searching before christmas and couldn't wait to make one of my own!. It took me a while to work out what Foam Core board is but I found it in Riot (Craft store) whilst down in melbourne. Apparently you can get it elsewhere though as people use it for mounting. I bought two pieces of A1 for the project and I had a few bits left over but I am happy that I made it myself and it only cost me about $20

It fits each color family in the slots (60 Pads) and has room for your other bits and pieces on top.

The other photo also shows what I have been storing my card in the drawers are from Office Works but I am finding with the more card I am buying the more sets of draws I need!!
