Diagonal Joy Fun Fold Card with the Sweet Bugs Bundle
This card started with us wanting just a little something different ; not a wild, twisty fold that needs a cheat sheet, but also not a standard front-fold card weâve made a hundred times. Enter the Diagonal Joy Fun Fold , which immediately had us smiling before we even finished assembling it. Thereâs something about that angled front panel that look amazing right out of the gate. We paired this fold with the Sweet Bugs Bundle and the Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper. The s

Soft & Sweet Love You Lots Card with the Sweet Bugs Bundle
This card started in a very familiar way: we wanted something calm. Not bold, not loud, not a âlook at me from across the roomâ card. Just something gentle and thoughtfulâthe kind of card you make when youâre thinking about someone specific while youâre crafting. The Sweet Bugs Bundle was already out (because apparently it lives on our table now), and the Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper had one of those subtle patterns that makes you slow down instead of rush. We didnât p

Double Box Fun Fold Card with the Sweet Bugs Bundle
This card is what happens when we say, âOkay, just one quick card,â and then immediately choose a fold that pops up like it made our plans for the evening đ The Sweet Bugs Bundle was already on the table because we were working on this card , the Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper was too adorable to ignore, and next thing we knew⌠we had ants marching across the front like they were headed to a tiny parade (get it? lol). We also love that this card stands up on its own. It

Handmade Hello Friend Card Using the Sweet Bugs Bundle
This card happened during one of those crafting sessions where we were technically  cleaning up⌠but somehow ended up making another card instead. You know the kind. Paper scraps still on the table, inks already open, and just enough time to âtry one more thing.â The Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper was sitting right there, and that little caterpillar kept catching our eye every time we reached for something else. Once the Sweet Bugs Bundle we knew we needed it because, ye

A Soft & Structured Floral Card with the Lovely Arrangements Bundle
This card is proof that a clean layout can still be a show-off. We put the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper on the table, and those bold Secret Sea leaves immediately stole the spotlightâso we decided to frame it like the main character it is. The goal was simple: create a polished thank-you card that looks intentional, not overloaded. A few crisp layers, a little texture, a soft ribbon detail, and a sentiment you can use for basically anyone (clients, friends, teachers
