Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a wonderful week and are looking forward to the weekend ahead.

I have a quick fun fold for you today playing with one of my absolute favorite sets from the January-April Mini Catalog. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this set at first, but when you start to play with it, you just can’t stop. Here’s my card for today.

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

Cut the Blackberry Bliss card base 1 1/4″ in from the score line down to the edge on both sides. Adhere the 2 side panels down to the inside of the card base so that you only have the 3″ flap in the center.

Adhere the 2 panels of Cute as a Bug DSP to the side panels. Wrap a piece of Old Olive 3/8″ Specialty Rickrack around the panel of Cute as a Bug DSP, adhering it on the back of the panel. Adhere the panel of Cute as a Bug DSP to the center panel of the Blackberry Bliss card base. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Sweet Bgs stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the 2nd from the smallest circle Stylish Shapes Dies.

Using the smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut a couple of the bug from a panel of Cute as a Bug DSP. Adhere the sentiment to the card front, over the ribbon, using Stampin’ Dimesionals. Adhere the die cut bugs around the sentiment. Add a few Dear Dots to the card front.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the grass/flower image from the Sweet Bugs stamp set in Old Olive Ink across the bottom of the panel. Add a couple of the images from the Cute as a Bug DSP that you either die cut with the Sweet Bugs Dies or fussy cut to the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Poppy Parade mat then to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the grass/flower image from the Sweet Bugs stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Cute as a Bug DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

A week before the class I will send you the complete PDF of the cards so you can cut all your cardstock gather your supplies, so you are ready to go.  We will NOT be cutting cardstock or doing any die cutting live since all the cards will be different.  Everyone’s cards will be unique since you will pick which color cardstock and ink you want to use along with the Designer Series Paper, Ribbon & Embellishments for each card.

The class will be held on Sunday February 22nd from 1pm – 4pm Eastern Time via Zoom.  This will allow everyone all over the United States to participate live!
