Cute as a Bug So if you are like me, when you first saw the Cute as a Bug suite you probably said, "Eww, I don't like bugs!". But then I looked closer and the bugs in the Designer Series paper are so darn cute that I had to buy it. Now I haven't yet bought the bundle, but after making a bunch of cards with the DSP, I am leaning towards getting it. The dies DO cut out many of the bugs in the DSP, but for these cards I actually fussy cut them all, which was quite easy to do. I also used the Mixed Up Patterns DSP on page 65 of the 2026 Jan-April Mini Catalog--did you miss this paper too? It is a pack of small prints that go with many of the other paper in this catalog. And the sentiments are from the January Product of the Month set that you can buy for only $5 after you spend $75 on any order. These new Products of the Month are while supplies last and change monthly, and you can only buy one of each. Let's make these cards! Gather your supplies: Old Olive cardstock...

Made with Love Explosion Card I've made a lot of cards with the Made with Love suite of products, and this one is probably my favorite as it has such a surprise inside.

Lovely & Beautiful Bow Card Are you ready to learn a new fun fold with some new Stampin' Up products? I've heard it called a "bow fold" but if anyone has any other names for it let me know. I've used several products from the new Stampin' Up Suite called Lovely and Beautiful and it is so aptly named! The Designer Series Paper is stunning and the ribbon and embellishments I used on this card are also beautiful. All the pieces of DSP have gold on one side and small patterns on the other side--I love how you get to see both sides of the paper on this card. Go to page 23-29 in the 2026 Jan-April Mini catalog if you want to see even more ideas. This fun-fold is difficult to describe how to do it, so you may want to watch my Facebook Live video below for some help. Then come back every Monday at 1 pm PST to see me make a new card. Or subscribe to my YouTube channel and they will let you know when I upload a new video, which is usually every Monday afternoon. Le...
