I saw this adorable bumblebee made with the Ladybug Builder Punch and just had to try it! The secret to the striped body...striped paper!! I'm sure you have some black and white stripe somewhere. We currently have it with our Host Pattern Party DSP, or our new, All Together DSP! I paired it with our FREE, SAB Simply Marbelous DSP and added some darling vellum wings! The possibilities for this little bumblebee and our new Hive 3D Embossing Folder are endless!!
