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.

Brewed for You; a fabulous guys ‘fun fold’ card with video tutorial

June 16, 2023

We made this special fun fold card for the dad's or men in our lives at a recent card club. It features the Brewed for You stamp set and Brewed dies.

Save

I LOVE the colors – Black, Smoky Slate, White and Crushed Curry. This fun fold looks complicated but it's super easy!

Start out with a gatefold card, then you need a Black cardstock square and die-cut a square from the center. Adhere the frame on one side and the solid square to the other.

Save

It's fun to play with too. We stamped the bottle, glass and spatter using Versamark ink onto the front of the card base. Then added two strips of textured Crushed Curry card stock to each side.

See the stamp set here and the Brewed dies here.

• Smoky Slate card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" from each end plus a strip for greeting
• Crushed Curry 2 pieces 2 3/4" X 1 1/2"
• Black 3 3/4" square; die-cut a square from the center; use both frame and inside square

Incredible Sweet Citrus projects; part 2

June 15, 2023

Continuing on from yesterday's post seen here, I'm sharing more of Karen's 'Artist of the Month' projects. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set & dies.

Each month one of my Flowerbug's team members takes a turn (voluntarily of course!) to feature a bundle, sharing their projects. They keep the bundle (free!) and I get the projects to share with all of you.

Her first card features limes, using Parakeet Party. I believe her 'rind' is Garden Green.

Save

She also made these two adorable candy boxes.

Save

The one below is filled with lemon candies; so perfect for this stamp set.

Save

This second box is for Orange Tic Tacs. It fits in there so perfectly!

I know she found the pattern online but I don't have the link. It opens from the front and is tied closed with twine.

Save

And lastly is a super cute fun fold featuring coconuts! Yes; you can create coconuts with the Sweet Citrus stamps!

Save

She stamped the coconuts in brown ink on White card stock and colored in the centers with Gray Granite ink using a water painter, leaving the white coconut ring.

She used the Delicate Desert DSP from the Spring catalog; it has retired now however.

Save

It's a bit too much to share measurements here so I'll plan to create a card like this on a future video.

Save

You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here. And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.

Here is a photo of all of her gorgeous cards:

Incredible Sweet Citrus cards by Karen – lots of ‘Wow’s’!

June 14, 2023

Karen was our Team Artist of the Month in April and she knocked it out of the park! I cannot believe I haven't shared them yet….. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set, Hybrid embossing folder & dies. Look at these gorgeous cards!

Save

Her colors are Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide. Love those limes and the turquoise leaves.

Save

The card above features Mango Melody with Polished Pink; these colors have since retired. That striped paper was a host paper in the last catalog. The white edge die-cut is from the Basic Borders dies.

Save

LOVE these bright colors with Starry Sky! Daffodil Delight & Granny Apple green. Those vellum leaves and sprigs are a wonderful accent (from the Bough punch).

Save

this last card features Pumpkin Pie with Parakeet Party, Shaded Spruce and Daffodil. She called this card 'Fruit Salad' since it combines many of the fruits she used in other cards.

You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here. And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.

I'll share more of her cards tomorrow.
