Little Ladybug Birthday - Tutorial

Heart's Delight Cards, Little Ladybug, 2020 Sale-A-Bration, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

One of the birthdays in "the month of many birthdays" is my kid sister's. Well, she's not a kid anymore, lol, but she will always be my baby sister. She's a redhead, and when she was little her nickname was Ladybug.

So you can imagine how tickled I was to see the new Little Ladybug Sale-A-Bration host freebie! It is so stinkin' adorable, and I've seen lots of samples using it on Pinterest. The only problem was, I didn't want to fussy cut all those images. Thankfully, Stampin' Up! will be releasing a set of dies for it, starting February 4th. It will be part of the Coordination Product Release that includes dies for other popular stamp sets, too, as well as a DSP pack that coordinates with some punches!

I love how SU makes it so easy to be creative, and appreciate them saving my fingers from tedious fussy cutting. Not that I dislike fussy cutting when necessary, but it's nice to not have to.

Okay, I'll quit yakking and get to the tutorial. *grin*
