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.

Unique diagonal card layout using your Designer Paper

May 17, 2022
I've made a few of these cards lately; I just love the diagonal layout and how easy it is to stamp your greeting directly on the White layer.

It's made with the beautiful Hues of Happiness designer paper seen here. It's been my top seller this month! So far it's not on the low inventory list but I fear it will be the way it's going!

Save

I cut some of these flowers directly from the DSP using the Blossoming Happiness dies; they match up perfectly to many of the flowers in the paper.

I made a bunch of these cards for swaps in May in both colors seen below. This way I could use two different sheets of paper since they provided flowers in many hues.

Tip: The nice thing about this layout is that you don't have to measure your diagonal cut on the White CS perfectly. Mine are about 3/4" from the lower left and the upper right.

The Melon Mambo card on the upper left is part of my Hues of Happiness card kit to go seen below. You get 1/2 pkg of this pretty DSP, a share of ribbon and Glossy dot gems in the kit for $28 plus shipping. Tomorrow (May 18th) is the last day to opt in for this pre-cut kit to go. See details on it here.

I used the Happiness Abounds bundle for these cards. See that here.

This card below is made with Fresh Freesia as it's card base. There are a nice variety of colors in this designer paper; so many card stock & ink colors will work with it.

Here are the measurements:
- Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
- White front 5” X 2 ¾” cut in half about 3/4" from the lower left and upper right
- DSP – 5” X 2 ¾”

For my In Color display board I made these 5 cards with the new Sweet Songbirds stamp set & punch bundle.

These colors are so vibrant and striking; they are a wonderful addition to our Stampin' Up! color line.

I used this sketch for inspiration. I find card sketches can be one of the easiest ways to create and design a card.

Save

The squares of In Color Designer Paper are 2 1/4" and the White layers are 2 1/2". The greeting strips are 5/8" X 4 1/4".

The sweet birds are stamped in each In Color and punched out with the Bird punch. I punched the wings from our In Color Glimmer Ombre paper.

Nature’s Prints 5 sheet wonder; these 5 templates make creating so easy!

May 13, 2022
It's been awhile since I made a group of cards with my 5 sheet wonder templates. The Nature's Prints stamp set was a perfect choice for it.

And playing with three of our newest In Colors paired with Navy & White helped create these beautiful cards.

Save

I'm holding a class on Wednesday, May 25th at 6 pm here in Minot, ND for my local customers. RSVP to attend by May 22nd. You can see my PDF tutorial on my shop here. I am not offering it as a kit to go at this time.

I chose the new colors of Starry Sky, Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis to start with. I needed a 4th color and wanted to stick with the blues and greens so I added Navy to the mix.

My greetings and images are all from the Nature's Prints stamp set seen here.

How do my 5 sheet wonder templates work? Here are the steps:
1. Choose at least 4 colors of ink and card stock for your cards.
2. Choose a stamp set that has a variety of images, from large to small. It helps if they are non directional (okay stamped in different directions).
3. Print out Template A on White CS and stamp the non printed side with the images and inks you chose creating your own paper. *You could use DSP but you'll want to print on the reverse side. Here is mine below:
Save

3. Turn the stamped piece over and cut on the printed lines. (I print my card stock with a printer but if your printer will not work with card stock you can have a copy place print them for you. Or just use the template measurements as a guide.

4. You'll also print templates B-E on four other colors of card stock. Cut on the printed lines (you'll use the reverse side for your cards).

5. You'll need 10 card bases in the colors you chose. Place them on the table and add all of the cut pieces over each card base. Tip; Use contrasting colors. If there are many dark pieces I use a light card base and if there are mostly light pieces like the examples below, I'll use a dark card base.

Save

6. Now you'll assemble the cards using my finished samples as a guide.

7. You'll stamp your greetings using a variety of punched or die-cut pieces and finish your cards, adding ribbon or gems as desired.

Easy, no measuring cards that are BEAUTIFUL and multi-layered. You can see my 5 sheet wonder PDF tutorial here on my Shop site. The PDF tutorial includes multiple card and color examples.
