Caterpillar Birthday Card

I’ve been thinking to make a card that incorporates crocheting for a long time, and now I finally did it!  To make the crocheted part, I used a Crop-A-Dile to punch holes in the cardstock circles, and then I crochet around them using a very simple 4-stitch petal pattern. I must warn you: it’s not easy, so be prepared for a challenge.

Whether you decide to add the crochet or not, this cute little caterpillar will make your card fun anyway. To make cheeks, eyes and legs, use the Two-Step Owl Punch from Stampin’ Up!

Enjoy your project!
