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.

Yesterday was my weekly Facebook Live where I shared 3 projects featuring the Kite Delight stamp set in the 2022 January-June mini catalog. This cute stamp set is NOT coming back in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog. See it here.

I added all of the upcoming new In Colors to this card!

The clouds are heat embossed on the Balmy Blue CS using White embossing powder. The clouds are an outline stamp but I wanted to fill them in to look 'white'. So I used my Chalk Marker to color them in and love the effect! I am so sad to report that this neat Chalk Marker was on the retiring list and is already sold out. You could use White craft ink or White chalk pastels and color it in too.

The kite is stamped on White CS using Black Memento ink and colored in with the NEW In Color Blends markers. I fussy cut it and added to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Save

I stamped the sun image on a scrap of Daffodil Delight CS using Daffodil Delight ink and fussy cut it. There is not a punch or dies to coordinate with this stamp set, but I didn't mind fussy cutting the kites or sun. Easy to do!

Here's a link to the video. Or click on the photo below to watch how to make this card and two more using the Kite Delight stamp set!

Control Freaks Blog Hop; ‘Can’t Live Without’ theme

April 19, 2022
This month the Control Freaks are sharing their favorite retiring products in a 'Can't Live Without' theme. There are so many wonderful items on the Last Chance list this year! Be sure to really look at it so you have no regrets when they're no longer available.

If you just arrived here be sure to click on the icon at the end of each post to see it all. Or maybe you just arrived from Melissa's blog. I love her style!

I'm focusing on the Garden Wishes stamp set & Dandy Wishes dies today. Both are marked down 40-50% right now!

This first card is bright & colorful in Magenta Madness, Black & White. I love a black & white card with a pop of color.

The Designer Paper is the All Together 6 X 6" DSP; it's a special collection ending in May.

I used the 'Floating' technique here. I adhered strips of various widths of Designer Series Paper to a piece of Window Sheet and die-cut it out with the largest circle in our Layering Circle dies. Then I added dimensionals to the back and adhered it to a 4 X 5 1/4" White card stock that's been textured with the Gingham embossing folder.

Products retiring:
- Dandy Wishes dies
- Garden Wishes stamp set
- All Together 6 X 6" DSP
I just love these Dandy Wishes die-cuts! They are unique. fun and give lots of texture to our projects.

Next is a pretty card that's soft and almost ethereal instead of bright & bold. The colors include Pool Party, White & Calypso Coral.

I used the same greeting from the Garden Wishes stamp set and the same round 'Dandy Wishes' dies but also added more die-cuts in the set. I also sponged the center of the round die-cuts with Calypso Coral ink.

Save

Notice the two sizes of the White 'dandelions'? I trimmed off a few of the thin, outer petals on one for a smaller flower. The Designer Paper background is from the Flowering Fields DSP in the 2022 January-June catalog.

I am SUPER SAD that the Tailored Tag punch is retiring. It's so easy to layer this one! Just cut a second one in half horizontally. It's my 'go to' punch for greetings. If you don't have this punch, get it now; it's on sale!

Retiring items:
- Dandy Wishes dies
- Garden Wishes stamp set
- Flowering Fields DSP
- Tailored Tag punch
