Cute as a Bug fun fold kit to go or PDF tutorial

Here’s the second kit to go I’m offering in January; the Cute as a Bug fun fold card kit:

Save

Stampin’ Up! knocked it out of the park with this CUTE designer series paper! *see it online here It’s unique color combinations and whimsical critters make creating with it so enjoyable.

I created 5 different fun fold layouts and doubled them for a total of 10 unique cards.

The PDF tutorial includes step by step directions, photos, measurements and a supplies list. I also recorded a video tutorial exclusively to those who purchase it or the kit to go. This tutorial is just $16 and can be seen here.

The pre-cut kit to go can be seen here. Reserve it now and it will be mailed out later this month (likely around the 22nd of January).

The kit includes the following: 1/2 pkg of the Cute as a Bug DSP, a share of the Ladybug Garden epoxy gems, the Old Olive rick-rack ribbon and exclusive video link. It also includes 10 pre-cut cards! Everything is cut for you except your new designer paper. You’ll use the measurements in the PDF tutorial to do that; it’s easy! Then just assemble and add your stamped images to the greeting pieces provided. (Any greetings will work; feel free to use what you have).

My kits are super easy to complete. I get tons of compliments and repeat customers each month.

• Trusty Tools Latch fold card with free project sheet & video

  January 9, 2024

  ---

  On last week's Live video I created two fun fold cards featuring the Trusty Tools bundle and the Trusty Toolbox designer paper. 

  The Trusty Tools bundle is in the new Spring catalog and the Trusty Toolbox designer paper is in our Sale-a-Bration catalog. They're an incredible pair that is unique and perfect for handy guys or gals and coordinate together wonderfully! 

  This card is a latch card.  Both flaps open but the Poppy Parade flap is 'caught' by the layered greeting element.

  It's hard to explain how it works but the video I made shows how easy it is.  It's all about where to place the Dimensionals to 'catch or latch' the card closed.  I like my cards to stay mostly closed so I created this closure option. 

  Here's what the inside looks like:

  My colors were chosen by the Trusty Toolbox designer paper – Black, Poppy Parade & White. This special designer paper can be earned free now during Sale-a-Bration with any $50 purchase through Stampin' Up!.  See it here. 

  I suggest ordering the Trusty Toolbox bundle and then choose the designer paper as your free Sale-a-Bration choice.  See the bundle here online.

  A word of advice on choosing Sale-a-Bration items. If you want both a pack of designer paper and a stamp set and cannot afford to get both, choose the designer paper first. They usually run out of papers, dies & gems before they run out of stamp sets. Then choose the stamp set with your next purchase. 

  You can download the free project sheet for the Trusty Toolbox card here. Download Trusty Tools Latch-fold card

  Below is a photo of both cards using this special latch fold.  The card on the lower left is made with the Lighter Than Air designer paper in Lemon Lolly & Balmy Blue.  It's one of the cards featured in my Lighter Than Air pre-cut kit to go seen here.

• Trusty Toolbox Bridge fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  January 8, 2024

  If you love fun folds you'll appreciate my weekly videos. I like to share fancy fold cards or techniques in my Tuesday Live videos – seen each week at 11 am CT. If you enjoy watching Live please subscribe to my Facebook page here.  Or watch them later on my YouTube channel here.  

  Don't you love this special card?!  Men's cards can be hard to make; many of use gals lean towards florals don't we? I appreciate when Stampin' Up! brings us products we can make for our men.

  My colors include Black, Poppy Parade, Pebbled Path, Gray Granite & White. This special designer paper can be earned free now during Sale-a-Bration with any $50 purchase through Stampin' Up!.  See it here. I think Stampin' Up! was so clever to create designer paper that mimics tools, toolbox and peg board!

  I suggest ordering the Trusty Toolbox bundle and then choose the designer paper as your free Sale-a-Bration choice.  See the bundle here online.

• Heartfelt Hellos; a quick card featuring 4 Sale-a-Bration choices!

  January 5, 2024

  Here's another card swap I made recently.  This one features 4 different Sale-a-Bration choices.

  Here are the 4 products I featured on this card; all from the Sale-a-Bration catalog that goes Live Thursday, January 4th.

  • 1st – the beautiful Flight & Airy designer paper. Gorgeous 12 X 12" designer paper featuring birds & florals.  *free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order
  • 2nd – the new Heartfelt Hellos stamp set; it's a $50 choice in our Sale-a-Bration catalog. It has 6 pretty greetings that all work with the new Heartfelt Hexagon punch (2024 Spring catalog)
  • 3rd – The Softly Sophisticated embossing folder – seen on the Calypso Coral banner. It's paired with the Softly Sophisticated stamp set and free with a $100 order. 
  • 4th – the gems are called Opaque Faceted Gems and are free with a $50 order.

  My colors include Pecan Pie, Calypso Coral, White & Misty Moonlight – all featured in the Flight & Airy designer paper. 

  The circle is 2 3/8" and works nicely with the new Heartfelt Hexagon punch.

  It's a beautifully simple layout that would be perfect to mass produce using your favorite designer paper. You could add extra layers if you prefer that; but sometimes it's good to let the pretty paper or greeting be the star.  

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • Designer paper 3" X 4" (you can get 12 from one sheet of 12" designer series paper!)
  • Banner is 5 1/4" X 1 1/4"
