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

January 16, 2026

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

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.

Check out this ‘Tackle box’ with the Gone Fishing bundle! Amazing!!

July 7, 2023
Today I'm sharing the last projects Candace made with the Gone Fishing and Let's Go Fishing designer paper. She was our Artist of the Month for June and created some incredible projects!

I was blown away by this 'tackle box' full of candy. She told me she made it up herself! AMAZING!!

Save

She added gummy fish & worms, kisses, candy 'rocks' and nuggets inside. I believe she first scored her box front then used the Gone Fishing large die to cut the windows for the front panel. Scoring first would help you center the die. Then she added the window sheet to the underside. The window sheet holds the die-cut frame and the box front in place.

Save

Measurements for the box: *corrected
- top of box 6 1/4 X 7 1/2" score 1" on all sides
- bottom of box 6 1/8" X 7 3/8" score at 1" on all sides
- window sheet 4 1/8" X 5 1/4"
- left inside divider (two compartments) is 1 7/8" X 6 3/4" score at 2 3/4", 3 1/2" & 4 1/4"
- right inside divider (three compartments) is 2 1/8" X 8 1/4" scored at 2", 2 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/8", 5 7/8" & 6 5/8"
- inside bottom (under the two divided sections) 5 1/4" X 5 5/8" score at 1 7/8", 2 5/8" & 3 3/8"
Save

To assemble this you'd add the long vertical divided piece first and then the two scored strips after that.

I made a birthday version of this box. You can watch the video here.

You can see the Gone Fishing bundle here.

This last card is another fun fold; she made lots of them in her array of cards.

Save

It's a pocket card that could also include a gift card inside it. Be sure to note the rhinestone 'fish bubbles' on the sentiment.

Save

I love the wavy detail she added to the inside piece; it's from the Gone Fishing dies.

Measurements:
- Misty Moonlight card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 3/4" & 6 3/4"
- DSP 5 1/4" X 2 1/2" for front, bottom layer is 5 1/4" X 1"
- Vanilla inside pull-out is 4 1/2" X 3 1/2"
And last but certainly not least is this fabulous shaker card:

Save

It's hard to tell but the colored and stamped panel is placed in one of our clear envelopes so she could add the new Iridescent shaker circles seen here. She added Boho Blue ink to the neutral card front using a Blending Brush, then stamped the greeting and leaves. She also fussy cut the fish from the Let's Go Fishing designer series paper and added them with Dimensionals. Then came the torn card stock layer and the bobbin and linen thread.

Now she placed the entire piece inside a clear envelope, folded over the excess and secured it with adhesive. Now she added the shaker circles from the top open edge before closing it off to seal. Add it to your card base layers and you're done!

You can see these clear envelopes here. I use them for card swaps, storing & protecting my finished cards and of course for easy shaker cards. They're $7 for 50 envelopes!

This is such a fun card to make AND receive! It's hard to stop shaking it!

Today I'm sharing the 2nd group of cards Candace made featuring the Gone Fishing suite. If you missed the first batch, click here to see them.

Save

She was our Artist of the Month for June and chose this special bundle; so unique and perfect for the fishermen (and fisherwomen!). See the Gone Fishing bundle here.

This first card is filled with layers and details – well all of them are really!

Save

The colors include Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink and Pebbled Path. She added Wink of Stella to the fish, and bobbin. That fish is gorgeous. I love the wavy cut DSP at the top and her sponged sky. And did you notice the rhinestone 'bubbles'?

Below is the inside of this card; she always adds details to her card inside layer.

Save

Next is a fun fold card where the center panel lifts up. It's adhered to a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" layer.

Save

Her colors include Pebbled Path and Misty Moonlight with a bit of Vanilla and Boho Blue.

The folded panel is 3" wide X 8" tall and scored at 4". The DSP is 5 1/4" X 4" in the back and the front panel is 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"

Next is a neat card featuring the Spiral Dye. She stamped it twice; once in Pool Party and once in Lost Lagoon.

Save

The Stitched die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes dies. Notice that shiny paper banner? That is the new Holographic Trio specialty paper on page 127 of the Annual Catalog.

I'll share more of her amazing projects tomorrow. Don't miss the next set!
