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.

Get more cards in the Gorgeous Expressions of Kindness card kit

July 11, 2024

This stunning Expressions of Kindness card kit from our Kit Collection was released last month. I made time to play with it a few days ago and it's absolutely gorgeous!

Save

I liked the cards so well I wanted to make more than the 8 cards in the kit. It's fun to figure out how to extend the beautiful prints on the cards and envelopes. I decided to keep it simple and add extra card bases and leave the envelopes intact.

See this kit here online:

Save

This first set of cards are almost exactly as the kit suggested except I saved the gold foil leaves for a different card. There was enough ribbon to add a few knots on each of the above cards and still have enough for the rest of the 8 cards seen below.

Save

Below are all three individual cards I made.

For the following two cards I cut the full printed card bases in half. I added 4 white card bases for the left card below. I felt the printed card with the gold foil accents was pretty enough for the ribbon & greeting image.

For the card on the right above I cut down the card front to 4" X 5 1/4" and layered it onto 4 Blackberry Bliss card bases as seen below. This is where I added the gold foil leaves with the greeting.

Save

You can see this beautiful kit here. It's $23 and includes the 8 cards & envelopes, a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, gems, White ribbon and adhesive.

Here's the stamp set included in this kit. The flower head fits on the purple flowers to add detail.

There are two more new kits released in July. Both are card kits – one geared for kids and the other a pretty floral kit.

A Fun Fold card with the Changing Leaves hybrid embossing folder; video too!

July 10, 2024

Here's the last card in the group of three I shared in last week's live video. I featured the Changing Leaves bundle from the Online Extras.

Save

My colors include Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with a tiny bit of white and Pretty Peacock added. That beautiful circle die-cut is the largest in the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

The Changing Leaves bundle includes the stamp set, dies and hybrid embossing folder. You might wonder what a 'hybrid' embossing folder is? It's a folder that has a coordinating die that works 'inside' the folder. It cuts and embosses at the same time. Genius! Confused on how this works? Watch the video here to see.

Save

I cut out all three leaves from the large leaf die at once and each card featured a different leaf. I thought I was smart to design my swap cards this way and save time too.

Save

Two cards feature a diagonal design but they're all quite different. Each one includes Mossy Meadow & Basic Beige cardstock though.

See the previous two blog posts for the free project sheets. Or click here to see all of my project sheets!

Watch the video below to see how the Changing Leaves bundle with the Hybrid embossing folder works. You'll also see multiple techniques too!

This card features multiple new Online Exclusive products released last week.

Did you know that Stampin' Up! releases a bunch of new online extras multiple times a year? These items are not in any printed publication and are seen only online. Most people don't realize that they can be ordered online or at local events.
