Blog Design Team: Let’s Do a Fly By…

Happy Friday, crafty friends! This week has just flown by, and today’s card from Blog Team designer Kay Miller, has got the idea of ‘flying by’ down pat. Check out her darling card below…

Plus, let’s zoom into this weekend with a giveaway! Read on for details…

And now, let’s hear from Kay about her project…

Ladybugs are one of the very few bugs that I actually think are cute! Aside from ladybugs and butterflies, all other bugs fall into the creepy category for
me. This card features an adorable ladybug created with the
cute Bugs & Balloons stamp and die combo set.

I started
with a top folding white card and cut a piece of the blue dotted
patterned paper to 4 x 5-1/4 inches and glued that down. I next cut out a
white piece of card stock to 4 x 5-1/4 and, using the Rolling Clouds die,
cut off the top right corner. I adhered that to the dotted paper using
foam tape. This created my ‘cloudy sky’.

Next, I assembled my little ladybug. I cut the body out of the
pink dotted paper and then I used the same circle die to cut the wings.
After cutting the light pink circle out, I moved the die over to one
side of the circle and cut again, creating the wing shape. I glued these
to the body and added some white dots with my gel pin. I cut the head
out of Poppyseed card stock and glued that to the body. 

Next I cut out
the swirly curlies, the greenery and the flowers. I stamped the sentiment from
the Bugs and Balloons set onto the white cloud panel then added the
ladybug and flowers with foam tape. I tucked the greenery and the light
blue swirl underneath the ladybug with just a dab of glue. Last I added a
few Doodlebug Sprinkles. I hope you have enjoyed learning how I created
this card. (The ladybug would be really cute created in black and red too!)

Thank you so much, Kay, for sharing your beautiful ladybug card with us today! Be sure to visit Kay on her blog, My Joyful Moments, for more of her fabulous work. Have a wonderful weekend, crafty friends! Be sure to check out our giveaway below!

    While living in Pennsylvania, I did my laundry in the basement of our home which was unfinished and I had strung wash lines the length thereof. One morning I went down into the basement and walked to the back to turn on the light. Our light fixtures were just bulbs that you turned on by pulling a chain. I reached up in the dark to pull the chain and felt something that wasn't right. When the light came on, all I could see were flies. Flies everywhere lined my wash line four and five deep. I felt like I was in the Book of Exodus during the plague of the flies. After initially freaking out, I went to investigate. To make a long story short it turns out that our new neighbors put their garbage in their basement which drew flies. And the flies found a small hole between properties and that's how they ended up in our basement. After a few phone calls to the Health department and a few fumigations, there were no more flies. It is a memory I Shall never forget.

    Not sure that anyone really has a good bug experience but I do have fond memories of catching various critters and examining them up close in jars with holes punched in the lids. We would keep them for a day or two and then let them go. I also raised silkworm moths from caterpillars for a school project in the 6th grade which was fascinating! After the moths laid their eggs, we let them hatch and watched the entire cycle start over again.

  • SHartl

    Well, although spiders are not technically bugs, they're close enough I think! So my WORST bug (spider) experience happened when I was spending the weekend at a friend's cabin right after high school graduation. My best friend and I were sleeping in a little alcove and I woke up to feeling a very creepy crawling sensation all over my shoulders, neck and head. I sat bolt upright and turned on the light, only to see hundreds of teeny tiny spiders crawling across us! There had been a spiders nest somewhere in the wall and all the baby spiders hatched that night. Oh my gosh…you never saw two girls jump up so fast and scream so loudly!! I don't even mind spiders that much but YUCK!! This lady bug card is much cuter…and much more fun!

  • Jen W.

    Love Kay's adorable little ladybug and the sweet polka dot sky!
    I'm normally pretty cool when it comes to bugs. I didn't even panic when a million wolf spider babies hatched on our laundry room wall. What I can't deal with is the giant centipedes. I live in Bermuda and these guys are fairly common on the east end of the island. I turn into a total girl when I see one and run screaming for hubby to deal with it. The last one we had on our living room wall was 7" long!!! So so creepy and, of course, with all those legs they're pretty darn fast…

    Finding a wood tick on the inside of my son's ear.

  • cghundley

    Continue story, a lady I work with walked over and I showed her and she screamed and got a stick and knocked it out and stomped on it! We couldn't believe that it was a Black Widowed spider! So scary and glad it hadn't bit me!

  • cghundley

    My husband got my motorcycle helmet
    off the shelf for me to wear to work, and it had spider webs in it. He cleaned them out and I put it on, got on my motorcycle and drove to work. I
    left in my pack and got it out to come home for lunch and it had more spider webs in it. I wiped them out and thought that was weird as they weren't there when I took it off. So I looked in it and there was a spider

  • Alanna

    Such a cute card Kay. I love the fun ladybug.

  • ionabunny

    Your card is so beautiful. Love the ladybug against the white. Insects are underrated. I love hearing the buzz of busy bees. It means that I will have lots of yummy fruits later this summer. Hugz

  • Julie Pike

    Love your card! Ladybugs are one of my favourites too. I have to admit I'm not bothered by most bugs and constantly mocked for catching and releasing spiders at the school I work at. As a child, my worst experience was when our chihuahua/ terrier dog was stung in the face. It swelled so much it distorted his face and terrified me.

  • Karen Oliver

    Such a sweet little card. What's not to love about it? Hey and what a cool little set love how the balloon turns into a ladybug, thats very clever.

    Would be surprised if anyone has a positive "bug" experience. Just last week whilst rescuing a praying mantis (these I did't mind handling) it was caught in a web and it bit me on the finger. I had no idea they did that and it actually made me cry out in surprise. Still rescued it but with way more care and now I look at them a little differently.

  • Denise Bryant

    Absolutely adorable card! Love the fun colors and all the awesome dies.
    Worst bug story… I got stung by a bee on my big toe while walking across my yard in sandals. After the initial pain, it itched like crazy for days because of an allergic reaction I had to it.

  • RedGem

    I just love the lady bug card. I was playing ping-pong in my friend's backyard and when I went to look for the ball I fell and stumbled into a wasp's nest. I got stung but thankfully not allergic.

  • Michelle Sullivan

    Oh that card is adorable! Worst bug experience was when I moved to San Francisco, had bought new furniture. I heard a noise when in bed and my dog was going nuts, a nasty potato bug, not a roller Polley kind but a real potato bug fell out of the furniture box! I would find them randomly in my apartment. They are big and scary!

  • D. Suzanne Cox

    The lady bug card is so cute.
    Worst bug experience; I was on my knees picking strawberries and hadn't noticed I was on an ant hill–of fire ants. They were all over my leg (biting me)! I had red, stinging, burning welts on my leg for several days!

    D. Suzanne Cox

  • LindaLeaPeteren

    My best bug memory is all the evenings my Mom would go out firefly hunting with me. I still smile when I see fireflies

  • Sunny Faith Rush

    I love ladybugs, they make anyone smile! These bright colors are perfect.

  • Jan & Eric

    My good friend loves to sit on her
    porch in the shade especially when she talks to God. She always is visited by a ladybug or two. So whenever I see a ladybug I smile knowing the peace it gives her. jlingraham@hotmail.com

  • Scrappin' Diva

    My worst bug experience is when I went to China. There used to be big cockroaches running around the house I stayed at. They were more prevalent at night and I would have to go to the bathroom but held it until morning cuz I was afraid I'd step on one!

  • Maria

    Oh, what a darling ladybug! Love all the pretty colors and great design! Best bug story was when we were kids we used to catch lightning bugs and put them in a jars…so fun!

  • TK Watson

    Haven't really got a bug story, ask me about an iguana? Let's just say, you don't wanna know! LOL Anyway, adorable ladybug!

  • Deni(se)

    What a cute stamp set. Lots of ways to make our little lady even cuter. Kay as always has shown us the way.

  • Amy C.

    I've had a couple of bad bug experiences in the last two days. The warm weather really brings them out of the woodwork!

  • Unknown

    This was my daughter – when she was about 3 or 4, she got stung by a bee which she had picked up "because it fell off the flower and I was putting it back!"
    Laura Holt
    [Google will list me as "unknown"]

  • Lynne

    My worst bug experience was in Florida shortly after my father passed and palmetto bugs were jumping all over the place. Of course, I screamed, not knowing what they were because they scared me.

  • Liz Gessner McAllister

    Ok, I have always saved drowning worms on the driveway. Flinging them into the grass instead of a slow death on the pavement. My (now) husband and I were traveling in Denali Natl park on a bus tour and he told this story to a man from Ireland sitting nearby. The Irish man asked if we were married and my husband said no… The man said in teh most Irish accent…"get out while you still can man!" We have laughed about this for 25 years!

  • Betty Sue

    I am ok with some bugs except roaches. In the south they have what is called a Palmetto bug which basically looks like a roach on steroids! Yuck. When you walk on the sidewalks, they dart out from everywhere! Hate!!!

  • Creative M

    Absolutely adorable!! Thanks for the chance to win!
    My worst bug experience was an hour before going on a date about 20 years ago I got bitten by a bug on my index finger and it swollen up my entire hand.
    My hand went from a girly hand to a man's hand..LOL I laugh now but it was painful. My date took me to ER and then home. That was my first & last date with him..lol
    Have a wonderful day,

  • Debcop

    Adorable Ladybug card! I'd love to win this set. My worst bug experience, while on a picnic, while sitting, I felt a small bite on the back of me knee, where the knee bends. I got up to walk over to the food table, and 'smashed' the bee that was in the bend of my knee, causing him to sting me again (the earlier bite was a sting) and lodge his stinger into my leg. Ouch!
    My uncle came to the rescue, and removed the stinger.

  • Ruth Dupchen

    I was reading this email about the new ladybug set and something made me look up and I saw a ladybug on my window. She was so pretty! So I guess this is one of my good bug stories.

  • Barb Ghig

    Kay's card is absolutely GORGEOUS! Taylor ~ You must be pinching yourself for being so lucky to have Kay designing your beautiful stamps and dies…she truly makes them come to life, every time!

    My worst bug experience was years ago, when I went outside to wash some windows on our house, and came across a nest of wasps! They had set up house right on the top corner of a bedroom window. We sprayed, and immediately, they came after us…no stings, but it was frightening!

    Thank you so much for a chance to win 🙂

  • Shona Austin

    Adorable ladybug card. Love your color scheme. What fantastic artistry. Thanks. My worst bug story–I was sitting at a picnic table with my brother and family and the friend he was introducing me too. A bee came around and dive bombed me multiple times leaving everyone else alone. I was so scared as I am allergic to them that I fell backwards off the bench and thus ended the introduction. I also took a glass of water with me and spilled it all over myself on the way to the cement.

  • Diane Jaquay

    My worst experience with bugs is dealing with my daughters extreme phobia of them. She won't go outside if there's a creepy crawler or flying bug anywhere in sight! Love Kay's card and love these cute new products! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂

  • teresa currie

    When I was a little girl we went hiking in the mountains. I will never forget the black flies that tortured us relentlessly.

  • Enigma Artist

    Love the cheerful colors and design! Can't recall a bug story, but was chased (and stung) by a disturbed nest of yellowjackets while cutting the lawn. To this day, when I hear a buzz close to my ear…..

  • Barb S

    Love your ladybug card. I was 9 when a friend and I playing in the woods near her home stepped in a wasp's nest and they chased us home and into the house. Got stung several times and am still a little afraid of them.

  • Sharleen Osborn

    My friend collects lady bugs. How perfect!

  • Sherry Butcher

    So Cute! Love Lady Bugs. My worst bug experience was when my brother was stung 7 times in the face and I was trying to pull out the stingers.TFS.

  • Vivian C.

    Worst bug experience, stepping on a fire anthill as a kid. They are nasty! So, glad I don't live where there are fire ants. The Bugs & Balloons set is adorable.

  • Lyn Christian

    Just when we thought our oldest son would never have a child…a tiny lady bug seed took hold and our beautiful Lady Bug Princess was born. She is the light of our life!

  • Meghan

    I'm with Kay, lady bugs are okay. I'm not a bug fan for sure. I once got more than 50 mosquito bites in a day. I was so sick and itchy!

  • Roxanna

    Love this card, I love lady bugs because they seen so sweet and they don't want to bother anyone. Never had a bug or insect experience, scorpions really creep me out, I will run away if I see one and there are a lot in Arizona where I use to live

  • Gramma Dee

    What a cool card!

    Worst bug experience was when some angry wasps–who had decided to start building a nest right above the outdoor water faucet–chased me away from the faucet and bit me several times on the back of my head!

  • Mary Holshouser

    Last summer we had a large number of wasps (or it seemed like it at the time). I sprayed one of them with wasp spray and he came after me. Got me too. then a week later I was after another wasp and he got me – ended up in the doctor's office after that one with a reaction. really dislike wasps.
    thanks.

  • Madeleine Barnett

    my worst bug experience happened many years ago when I was a child. Somehow a bee / wasp got under my shirt and then stung me. In trying to get rid of the thing I was stung several times. very traumatic for a child.

  • Aartje

    Beautyfull card. My best memorie: as a child I collect ladybugs in a box during summer. Love those little insects. In the box we put a little bit of green grass to feed them.
    Hugs Aartje

    My experience with a Bumble Bee when I was about nine years old. My oldest sister was trying to get me but I was too fast for her .As we where running around the house( it had a yard that went all around the house like a circle)well a big bee got caught in my hair just above my bang area and stung me. That's how she was able to catch me . She helped me get the bee out and she didn't even care that I took her pretty shirt .
    Have a great weekend.

    Oh My Cuteness!! I have been wishing for a Lady bug die set all Spring and Here it is! I love this sweet card. And this lady bug's antennas. When my son was 14-15ish, still riding bicycles because he wasn't old enough to drive yet, rode his bike under one of the large oak trees in the front yard at dusk. One of those fat spiders bit him just under the jaw line, but we didn't quite know that at the time. His lips turned wrong side out over night and we found ourselves in urgent care, where they administerd some steroids and his lips returned to normal in a few hours. I stripped his water bed, thinking he'd been bit by a spider. His lips swelled again a week later, returned to urgent care, more steroids, stripped-vacuumed the water bed frame inside and out. Lips went down. 30 days later lips swelled again! Stripped and completely disenfected as much of the water bed mattress as I could pull up and reach under. Then Jon remembered something hitting him in the face and brushing it away. 146 The Urgent Care Dr. finally said the poinson was just circling around in his body and you can't elevate your head to alleviate swelling, etc. Finally the poison was absorbed? and after all of the swelling went down, we could see the bite under the jaw bone. Watch out for those fat spiders that like to hold up under the trees and in the eaves of your house. Get rid of them, if they are near the entry ways. Thanks TE! Paulette S.

  • KT Fit Kitty

    Your card is adorable! Love these dies! As for bug experiences, they are all bad since I hate bugs! But the worst one was when I had a tiny spider inside my ear crawling around. I got it out quickly but it was the worst! Thanks for your awesome prize!

  • Sabrina

    Oh my goodness… Your card is so adorable!!!! My worst experience with bugs was when we used to have a a Springer Seppaniel named Oden. He got stung by a bee and his whole face swelled up so bad we had to rush him to the vets. The poor thing had trouble even swallowing. We had to have an Epipen on hand just in case he ever got stung again.

  • NatQuebec

    Such fun and nice card ! Love the colors too.

  • Christine nixon

    I love this card/ it is so sweet! My worst was finding out the hard way that I am allergic to bumblebees when one stung me on my lower lip and my whole bottom lip swelled to my chin but my first grade classmates thought it was hilarious!

  • Darla

    Kay, your card is adorable! My worst bug experience was when my 2 year old son was bitten by something when he was playing outside and his arm swelled up so bad we had to go to the emergency room.

  • Theresa

    What a gorgeous card, Kay…I love it! My worst bug experience involves a wolf spider. I didn't realize that spiders can get that big! Needless to say, that camping trip is one I will always remember!

  • Liz Lumsden

    Such a fun, bright, happy card! I love it! Thanks for sharing.

  • Ruth S, justsomestuffimade.com

    Adorable card Kay – I love this pretty ladybird. And again the little accent of gel pen is a perfect touch 😉 Thanks for the inspiration, and for the chance to win the super giveaway. I'm afraid my worst bug experience is always relating to mosquitoes. Whenever we go on holiday, they love to sink their teeth into me!! My hubby escapes scot-free, but I am covered in bites and no creams or sprays ever work to keep them away!! 🙁 Ruth x

  • Linda Carson

    Adorable card! My best friend loves ladybugs! My worse bug experience is anytime a bug is around!

  • MCgal

    Butterflies are beautiful. We went to a Butterfly farm in Australia on our honeymoon and they were landing on our heads seeming to say "hello". The colors on their wings were amazing. Thanks for the chance to win the Bugs & Balloons set & dies. They are so cute.

  • stamper101

    adorable card – luv your colors and designs. worst bug experience is when we had some over ripe fruit and an over abundance of fruit flies in the house!

  • Laraine R

    Cute card! The asian beetles are horrible! Almost as bad as the boxelder bugs!

  • Sharon D.

    Such a cute, cheery card!

    My husband & I went to Branson for our honeymoon. As we were leaving there was a spider the size of my hand creeping across the road. I was SO glad we were leaving and not coming!

  • Natalie

    Sweet card!! Love the design and colors! I hate ants and we experienced an infestation of them in the kitchen last year. The bottle of windex hardly left my hand. Thankfully we had the pest control company come and take care of that and they come each month to make sure they don't come back. No ant is safe around me, especially if I have a bottle of Windex! 🙂

  • Annette P.

    Bugs flying in my mouth when bike riding! It happens every year and I don't like it!

  • irisesther54

    Lovely card. I love ladybugs. My best experience with bugs was when I got to go to a butterfly farm in Grand Cayman. There were so many beautiful butterflies. Beautiful colors, magnificent wings, I'll never forget it.

  • Phyllis Freese

    Cute ladybug card. My worst bug experience was finding a large hairy spider in my bathroom. I would imagine it was as frightened as I was!

  • Liz Davis

    Such a cute card. I hate box elder bugs. They sneak into your house in the fall and just invade it. They drive me crazy

  • Kris B

    Cute card! Wish all bugs were this cute! Worst bug experience (is there a good bug experience) Walking barefoot in the yard and stepping on a bee. Not a pleasant feeling!

  • Christine Kosmak

    This is such a cute and gorgeous card, also I don't have this particular set!! My worst bug/spider experience that I can remember is when I was pregnant with my now 26 year old son! My ex-husband had decided we'd go on a "picnic". I had a spider crawl down my cleavage and promptly disappear which had me running into the car trying to search for it! I late that night went into labour and was a couple of centimetres dilated when admitted to hospital! Unfortunately my contractions stopped after a couple of hours, and I ended up spending almost a month in hospital as they then thought I had an infection, which just ended up being my waters which had broken and my son had been in distress and passed meconium! He now can watch documentaries etc about bugs, nature etc which he finds very interesting, but unfortunately coming face to face is another matter entirely!! I get called quite often to save someone, although in most cases I admit to saving the insect or spider and releasing them outside!! He also has Aspergers Syndrome AND OCD!!

  • Lisa

    This is just as cute as can be! Love the little swirls and leaves. Darling card Kay!

  • Judy Nolan

    My worst bug experience was when I was about 10 or 11 years old, and I was pushing my baby brother in his stroller. I felt something scratchy on my finger, and when I tried to brush it off, it was a bee…which stung me in retaliation. But my son had a more memorable story. On the first day of first grade, a bee flew up his shorts and stung him. Ouch!

  • Rebecca Ednie

    My worst bug experience was when I was eating a candy bar called a cherry blossom. It's a giant chocolate ball filled with cherry liqueur and syrup and a cherry. Sometimes when a chocolate bar has been over handled, flecks of chocolate break off. At least I thought that was what was in the wrapper. As I ate a big bite, I noticed that the flecks were moving. And there was a larger bug in there too. Apparently, a big laid eggs in there and the babies were living off the chocolate. I ran off, threw up and brushed my teeth about 6 times. And we complained to the company and got some GC for more chocolate. Just not cherry blossoms.

  • Shona Chambers

    Such a sweet card!! When I was 9yrs old we had a paddock next to our house and I found a huge green caterpillar with a red horn on its backside. It was about 4 inches long and an inch high. My dad called someone to come and look at it and I remember it being some sort of moth from overseas, not seen in NZ often. The local newspaper even took a photo of my face looking at the caterpillar on my arm and it was on the front page in colour!! It was taken away and I don't know what happened to it. And my parents never kept the newspaper clipping, which is a shame but will never forget it!!

  • Jackie Jones

    I was teaching Pre-K and we had an empty terrarium. I asked each child to contribute something. One little boy brought in a jar of big winged roaches. Yuck! I asked why he brought roaches. He said, " because they were all over my room!" :-/

  • Lynn Gauthier

    That's funny…I was just telling my Niece about the awful bug experience I had as a child and I still have nightmares!!!
    My Mom, Dad and I went blueberry picking on State land in Michigan. Well, I got tired and sat down and started eating my blueberries! The next thing I knew I was getting bit and they hurt really bad and I started crying. My Mom came running over and pick me up and took all my clothes off. I had no idea that I had sat on a red fire ant hill. I think I was only 4 or 5. I know better now.
    Love your Lady Bug card. So cute. Great colors. Lovin' the Rolling Clouds too!
    Thanks for sharing with us. So very nicely done!

  • Gloria

    Adorable lady bug. Of course butterflies are delightful too. I love nature except when it invades my house as in carpenter ants!

  • Robin B.

    My worst bug experience was when my brother and I were younger and played hide-n-seek at my aunt's house. I decided to hide in their large dog house. I crawled in, tuned around and looked right into a wasp nest! I completely freaked out, screamed and ran to the house. I made such a ruckus that my aunt thought I was stung when I wasn't, I was just terrified, Lol.

  • Taunya Butler

    This card is so fun and so very bright, happy and colorful!! Such a cute card!!
    ANY and ALL bug experiences are the WORST for me – hate them – any kind!!
    But my kids love roly poly's (potato bugs) and are always looking for them!!

  • Sue D

    What a cute card–I like the colors and all the polka dots.
    Best bug experience is becoming a bee keeper when my kids took it as a 4H project. Worse experience was a few years ago when the bees got under my veil and I had to take a trip to the ER. We still like our bee hives though.

  • Rebecca C.

    My husband, two year old son and myself had rented a cabin for vacation. One day my husband left to go hiking and he left us by ourselves. Soon, we had wasps inside of the cabin. I went through an entire can of wasp spray that day-and it seemed like the longest day of my life. I was so glad to see my husband when he returned that evening.

  • Christina Hor

    My worst bug experience took placed last summer when I putting a new flower bed in my garden. I got bitten by tiny buys that resemble mosquito, but not and I broke out with hives all over my body and nonstop itching for several weeks. So nonbearable and lost a lot of sleep. My best bug experience, however was yesterday watching my 23 months old pointing at ants and saying "ant ant" as she pressed her little finger down to crash them! Best kodak moment ever for a mom!

  • Lindy

    I hate hate hate ants. Just ordinary little stinky ants. They make my stomach churn. But also not keen on European Wasps. I've been stung a couple of times, including on the bum. Not nice.. But Ladybugs in the garden are always a nice cheery thing and very good for the garden apparently.

  • Eva Wierzbinski

    Love the ladybug!!! I was in Mexico on vacation and decided to sleep on the balcony. I woke to find an ant in my ear!!! Needless to say, I slept indoors for the rest of the vacation.

  • Diane

    Love the use of the rolling clouds die and that ladybug is just too cute. As for bug experiences, I sat in a nest of ticks in a park as a young teen. Thought that they were cute bitsy spiders. When I got home my mom told me what they were and I freaked out as she spent an hour removing them from all over me!

  • Birdena Jeffries

    I love your Ladybug card Kay. So cute and colorful. My Grand daughter would love it.

    I was viewing a house that was on sale. As I was walking under the deck, I got stung by many wasps.
    Ouch! Luckily I was not allergic.

  • Joy S.

    Worst bug experience, Asian beetles taking over the sky and the house, after soybeans are harvested in rural Iowa. Not only are they a nuisance, they stink!!

  • Tona

    My worst bug experience was when I was cutting back some plants in my garden & came upon a hornets nests & got stung. After I got stung they literally chased me across the yard.

  • Yuki

    Such a beautiful card! I love your watercoloring and that puppy is too sweet 🙂

  • Marybeth

    Kay you make it all look so easy! Wonderful card and tips for watercoloring backgrounds.
