HELLO LADYBUG MINI GIFT TOTE with a FLOWER USING the LADYBUG BUILDER PUNCH - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends!
My project today is a Mini Gift Tote that measures
4 1/2  x  3  x  1 1/2".  I made the Flower for the bag using the Wings from the Ladybug Builder Punch.  I also used Hello Ladybug stamp set, Pansy Patch stamp set, Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper and the Layering Circle dies.



I started with a piece of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper sized
4 1/2  x  9 1/2".
I scored the 4 1/2" side at:
1 1/2".
I turned the paper 1/4 turn so the horizontal scored line is closer to the top.
I scored it only to the first scoreline at:
1 1/2,  4 1/2,  6  and  9".
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of what your DSP should look like after scoring and cutting.


I cut 2 pieces of Soft Succulent Cardstock to  1/2  x  5 1/2"  for the handles.
I put Stampin' Seal+ onto the last 1/2" of each side of the pieces.
I attached the handles to both sides of the tote about 1" from the sides.


To make the flower I cut 7 or 8 Petals (wings) from Blushing Bride Cardstock using the Ladybug Builder Punch.
I attached them together with Liquid Glue by layering them in a circle.


I cut a 1 1/8" circle from Pale Papaya Cardstock using
the Layering Circle dies.
I embossed the circle using the Dots Embossing Folder.
I attached the circle to the middle of the flower with Liquid Glue.
To see how I did it you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.


I stamped the Ladybug, from Hello Ladybug stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstock.
I stamped the body with Tuxedo Black Ink and I stamped the wings with Fresh Freesia Ink.
I cut them out using the Ladybug Builder Punch.
I stamped the sentiment, from Pansy Patch stamp set, onto a 1/2" strip of Fresh Freesia Cardstock using Tuxedo Ink.
I cut the sentiment edges out by hand.


I attached the Flower to the front of the tote with Liquid Glue.
I attached the Ladybug to the side of the Flower with Dimensionals.
I tied a bow with Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon and attached it the the bottom of the left-front handle with a Glue Dot.
I cut the ends of the sentiment by hand and attached it under the edge of the bow with a Glue dot.
For the final touch I added 3 Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the Flower.
