Stampin’ Up! Sweet Bugs

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. How are you all doing today? I hope you’re getting your orders in for the new mini catalog and online exclusives. I got mine in bright and early yesterday morning for my product shares. I’ve got another one ready to go for things I forgot. I always seem to forget to order something.

I played with one of the new bundles and DSP from the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog for today’s card. I really love this suite; I can’t help but smile when I look at it. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Bugs Friendship 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the new Stampin’ Up! Sweet Bugs Bundle along with the Cute as A Bug Designer Series Paper and All in a Row Embossing Folder for my card today.

My design for today’s card is from Sunday Stamps Bubble Up Challenge #376

Emboss the panel of Basic White using the All in a Row EF. Adhere the embossed panel to the Crushed Curry card base (you all know this is not my favorite color, but after pairing all different color card bases this one looked the best). Adhere the panel of Cute as a Bug DSP to the right side of the embossed panel.
