Ladybug Hugs - September Card Exchange

I am part of a Cricut card exchange on Facebook. I've been taking part for the last 3 months and I really enjoy receiving "fun mail". Anything other than bills!

Each month we make and send out about 10 cards following a theme. This month's theme was open. You could use any cartridge and make any type of card you liked.

Here is my card.


I knew as soon as I recieved my new Pink By Design stamps that I wanted to make a card with a ladybug.

Details:
Create A Critter - Ladybug cut at 3 inches
Spots and Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder
Martha Stewart border punch - I don't know the name since I threw away all the packages (one of these days I'll look them up and label them)
"Ladybug Hugs" sentiment - Pink By Design 'Simply Everything' set
Cardstock - Michael's brand (and various leftover scraps)
Striped paper - KI Memories
Ribbon - Michael's
Pink Stickles

Thanks for stopping by!
