COS YOU HAVE TO HAVE LADY BIRDS!!!!!!!!!

 welcome crafters, today I wanted to share my convention swap I did last year  but adding it to a project it always looks so cute, you can use birds flowers you name it the possibilities are endless!

this is such an easy gift to make and very little product, so a great but cheap gift for a friend especially one like me who looses everything.

the finished product

MAKING THE BACKING BOARD

ON THIS SHOT YOU CAN SEE THE CLIP BOARD ONLY HALF COVERED AND THE CLIP ALSO COVERED NOW BELOW TO MAKE IT AN ENTIE SET

USING YOUR BACKING PIECE AND CLIP CHOOSE YOUR DESIGNER  PAPER AND COVER BOTH SIDES OF THE BOARD LEAVING THE FOLDS TO THE BACK SO THEY ARE HIDDEN. ATTACH WITH TAPE, MEASURE TO COVER THE CLIP AND ADD RIBBON OR BRAID ON TO THE CLIP AND ALSO ON TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CLIP BOARD AND SET ASIDE TO DRY PROPERLY.

CLIP WITH THE LACE AND BOARD CLIP COMES ON AND OFF SO YOU ATTACH LETTERS ETC AT THE BACK IF NEED

MAKING THE LADY BIRD AND EMBOSSED SCALLOP SQUARE

WHEN I FIRST MADE THESE I WAS LOOKING UP MAKING LADYBIRDS AND SAW THE TRADITIONAL VERSIONS WITH THE OVAL OR CIRCLE CUT IN HALF ETC, BUT THEN I FOUND THIS TECHNIQUE, FOR A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TECHNIQUE ND THOUGH HEY WE COULD MAKE LADYBIRD DOTS WITH A SMALL RUBBER. SOMEWHERE UT IN YOU TUBE LAND I FOUND THIS DESIGN I LOVED IT SO MUCH I HAD THEM AS MY CONVENTION SWAP. 
SO PUNCH OUT THREE SCALLOP CIRCLES INK UP THE RUBBER HAVE A SCRATCH SHEET TO PRACTICE TILL IT HAS AN INK COVERED TOP. NOT ALL DOTS ARE PERFECT DON'T FRET THE FOLDS DISTRACT YOU FROM THAT ANYWAY.

HOW TO ADD THOSE DOTS THE EASY WAY

ONCE INKED UP WITH STAYZON PLACE DOTS ON BOTH SIDES RANDOMLY

READY TO ASSEMBLE

NOW TAKE THE THREE SCALLOP CIRCLES AND FOLD NEATLY ALL THE SAME WAY, MAKE SURE THE FOLDS ARE IN BETWEEN THE THE SCALLOPS. PUNCH OUT A 1 INCH CIRCLE FOR HEAD AND TWO DOTS FOR THE ANTENNA.. ATTACH THE THREE SCALLOP TOGETHER , SO YOU CAN LAY ONE SIDE FLAT  THE OTHER SITS 3D AS YOU CAN SEE  FURTHER BELOW ATTACHED TO THE SQUARE. USING THE BIG SHOT CUT OUT A SCALLOP SQUARE AND EMBOSS , INKING THE EDGES TO THE DESIRED EFFECT YOU CHOSE. 

THE SCALLOP SQUARE SPONGED READY AND EMBOSSED

USING STICKY STRIP ATTACH THE LADYBIRD SO IT LOOKS LIKE THIS

ATTACH THE LADY BIRD ABOVE THE LACE TO ONE SIDE

ATTACH THE POST IT NOTE SET WITH EXTRA TACKY TAPE REMEMBER WHEN IT RUNS OUT ATTACH ANOTHER PAD . SIMPLE!!!

ADDED WAS A STRIP FROM USING THE  SU DOTTED SCALLOP PUNCH IN REAL RED AND FORM A NEST TO ADD INITIAL, AS THIS WAS FOR WORK MINE WAS P FOR PARKSIDE, 

I FELT IT NEEDED A LITTLE SOMETHING SO I MADE A MINI CARD

 SO THIS IS THE END RESULT
