The unique fold adds an extra touch of interest, allowing the peaceful waterside imagery to shine from every angle while creating a delightful surprise when opened. The layered elements and coordinating designs from the kit make it easy to craft a card that feels both sophisticated and heartfelt, perfect for a variety of occasions.

This cheerful greeting card comes to life with the playful patterns of the Cute As A Bug Designer Series Paper paired beautifully with rich Blackberry Bliss cardstock.

I had so much fun creating this playful fun fold card using the Sweet Bugs Bundle from Stampin’ Up! The interactive design adds an extra element of surprise, making it just as exciting to open as it is to display. I paired it with a greeting from the Lovely Arrangements set, which complements the whimsical bug images perfectly. One of my favorite features of this bundle is how the coordinating dies effortlessly cut out the images from the Designer Series Paper, making it easy to create a polished, layered look with minimal fuss. This card is a great example of how simple tools can come together to create something truly special! Be sure to download the Free Project Sheet below for the correct measurements.
