Is there a tutorial on ladybugs made with punches?

[eured99]

Is there a thread somewhere explaining how to do this? I need to make some for a shower invitation and I really can't tell from the gallery how they do it. Can anyone help? Hope so..........

I dont' have a tutorial, but you can just use a 1 3/8" circle punch for the bottom body, then another circle of the same size cut in half for the wings (secure with a brad), and then a 1/2" circle punch (cut in half) for the head. Draw dots on with a marker or use punchouts from the 1/6" handheld punch if you're feeling detailed. ;)

I hope this helps if nobody else offers a picture tutorial for you!

Here's another lady bug in the gallery, but without directions. It's by memory_lane. Circle Punches by memory_lane at Splitcoaststampers

You can also use the pick a petal set (the petal with the polka dots) and add your desired circle size to it. I did one this way, but unfortunately hadn't posted it, and we had some computer issues...so it's gone.
