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.

Totally different looks from the same Friendly Hello designer paper. You can go soft or bold with it!

On the top right I added the stamped image from the Friendly Hello stamp set (part of the free bundle during SAB) and on the top left I added a few die-cuts from the Tropical Layers dies seen here. I think they coordinate wonderfully.

Easel Calendar with a post it box; made by Melissa

January 29, 2022
I LOVE sharing what my friends make. Shout out to Melissa who made this adorable, bright & happy Easel Calendar for her club friends this month.

Save

She searched for a tutorial and actually found one I did last year! She added a box for a pack of post-it notes too!

She used the Pattern Party host paper seen here or on page 171 of our Annual catalog. I always encourage my hostesses to choose this paper; it's the BEST deal! It's valued at $30 but hostesses can choose it for just $18 as part of their hostess benefits. Tip: Everyone earns free benefits on orders over $150; even Demonstrators!

This is the type of information I want you to know before placing an order. I want to maximize your value and get you the best deal on our products that I can! *please contact me before ordering so I can help you!

It's a huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets with fun, colorful patterns on one side & Black & White on the other. It's my favorite DSP in the whole book!

Measurements are below. Or watch the video here.

Rainbow of Happiness shaker card with video tutorial

January 28, 2022

I played with the Rainbow of Happiness bundle on Facebook Live earlier this week. Here's a neat shaker card I made:

Save

Shaker cards look difficult but they're fun AND easy! Watch the video below to see how it's done.

The Rainbow of Happiness bundle is 10% off in our Spring catalog. See it here. I just noticed it's on low inventory. That means when they run our it will not be available again until the product is restocked. That Global Shipping issue you know!!

It's hard to see in the photo above but the paper inside the shaker is our Rainbow Glimmer specialty paper from the annual catalog. I share a neat trick to get these rainbow die-cuts in place in the video below or click here.

Here's a close up of another:

Here are some details:
- The large rainbow is made with the Brilliant Rainbow dies – it's part of the Rainbow of Happiness bundle.
- The small clouds are die-cut from our Supple Shimmer paper & the Rainbow dies
- The sequins & beads in the shaker are from the Sparkle & Shine sequins
- I used our Foam Adhesive strips on the back side of the White die-cut piece to raise it and keep the shaker pieces in place.
- The large clouds are punched with our new Cloud Punch. One is punched from the Sunshine & Rainbows free DSP during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here.

The card above on the left has a cloud bank made with our Border Basic dies and our new Supple Shimmer paper. Stampin' Up! is terrific at coordinating their products so incredibly.

The shaker card is the first project I make in the video below. Click on it to watch!
