Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend.

Today’s card is one that I did on my YouTube Live yesterday. If you were able to join me, thank you for hopping on. If you’d like to watch the replay and stamp along, the measurements are on the bottom of this post along with the link to my video. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Bugs Bundle along with the Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Adhere a panel of Cute as a Bug DSP to the front of the Basic White Thick card base. Adhere a narrow panel of Cute as a Bug DSP to the 1 1/4″ flap that folds over the card front.

Stamp the grass/flower image from the Sweet Bugs stamp set in Old Olive Ink along the bottom of a Basic White panel. Stamp the sentiment from the Sweet Bugs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. Adhere the pieces of DSP that you fussy cut from the Cute as a Bug DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the artwork panel to a Poppy Parade mat. Adhere the layered panel to the card front flap.

Adhere another panel of Cute as a Bug DSP to the inside front of the card base. Adhere a narrow panel of the Cute as a Bug DSP to the inside mechanism. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Sweet Bugs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the top of the panel. Stamp the grass/flower image from Sweet Bugs stamp set in Old Olive Ink along the bottom of the panel. Adhere the fussy cut pieces from the Cute as a Bug DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat. Adhere the layered panel to the front of the pop-up mechanism

Adhere a narrow panel of Cute as a Bug DSP to the backside of the mechanism.

Stamp the grass/flower image from the Sweet Bugs stamp set in Old Olive Ink across the bottom of a Basic Whtie panel. Adhere a panel of Cute as a Bug DSP to the right side of the panel. Adhere the Basic Whtie panel to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base. Add a Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes in the grass.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the flower image from the Sweet Bugs stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel to Cute as a Bug DSP to the envelope flap.
