Hello everyone! It’s Thursday and the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop is ON IT! We have a fun theme challenge to day and I chose to play with the Sweet Bugs bundle and it’s coordinating Cute As A Bug DSP. And just so you know I know… I titled this card incorrectly… it’s really and Interlocking Z-Fold!

This bundle and it’s coordinating suite of products are just adorable. I could NOT quit playing… meaning my card for Friday is also from this set of products 😁 These are from the Jan- Apr 2026 Mini Catalog… and here we are mid February already. Look at those darling ladybug embellishments – so stinking cute! There are three. And those ants are die cut from the DSP. To do the arches I used the Arches Dies. Here’s how to make this card…

• The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 – Mossy Meadow
• The DSP on the card front is 4 x 5 1/4 – Cute As a Bug 12×12 DSP: add to the card front with glue only on the rims of the DSP – no glue in center
• Using the 4th from largest Arches Dies, place in the center of the card & cut through both layers. Separate the two center papers putting the DSP portion to the side.
• The Very Vanilla ‘liner’ is 4 x 8 scored on the long side at 1 1/2 & 3 1/2, burnished like a Z (mountain, valley)
• Add the Very Vanilla to the inside of the card, adhering the largest portion to the inside of the card base.
• Close card, folding the Very Vanilla in it’s intended Z. Place the Mossy Meadow part of the die cut arch in the die cut opening. Now remove it and add glue to the 1 1/2 Z showing in the opening and put the Mossy Meadow piece back in the opening. Now decorate this Mossy Meadow arch!
  • Using the next smaller arch, die cut a picture from the Cute As a Bug DSP – I chose this piece. This was added to the Mossy Meadow piece. I die cut the ants from another page of the Cute As A Bug DSP, put mini dimensionals on the backs of each ant & attached them. I added a Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes to the stem of the dandelion poof.
• When closing the card front, you will notice two more of the Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes.

• I also decorated that inside lower Very Vanilla panel with a die cut worm holding a leaf umbrella – how cute is that?! I attached it after adding a 5/8 x 4 strip of the same DSP – and finally another Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes. 👍
• There is absolutely no sentiment on this card, so it can be used for any occasion. Love that! While I don’t show it, I did add a 4 x 5 14 panel of Very Vanilla to the back of the card to write more of my message.
• You will also notice I added DSP to the upper inside of the card – cuz… honestly folks, I did a boo boo & this covered it! 🤓

For the envelope… yet another of the die cut ants from the Cute As A Bug 12×12 DSP was adhered to the envelope front. I used another piece of the Cute As A Bug DSP pack to cut a piece 2 1/4 x 6 and adhere to the flap & trimmed it to fit. This is just so casual and so fun… who can resist!

OK – so business… you can purchase these products from my shop – see below for that list.

Welcome to our weekly Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop! You will find some very creative folks on this hop so enjoy as you visit each one. Thank you for stopping by today – you may have come from the fabulous Taran or just popped in here. However you arrived, welcome! We have a sketch challenge today.

I began with a Crumb Cake card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2. I layered this with a stamped panel 4 1/8 x 5 3/8.. stamped with Lasting Linen, an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE, stamped in Crumb Cake ink. It is added directly to the card base. Next I cut a piece of March ONLINE EXCLUSIVE SDSP 3 X 4. This is called DELICATE DREAMS and shows a new color (Hydrangea Blue) and some great coppery color. I added a slightly larger piece of Secret Sea to the back then wrapped it with 3/8″ Bordered Open Weave Ribbon in Secret Sea, and tied a half bow, securing it in place with a glue dot. I added this panel to the card front with dimensionals. Next I stamped the sentiment in Crumb cake ink and this comes from the Delicate Wishes stamp set. I punched it out with the Three Banner Punch and added it to the card front with a dimensional on the banner end and liquid adhesive on the straight end. Last thing.. three Natural Matte Dots in Secret Sea – tying it all together. These dots , Delicate Wishes Bundle, and the SDSP are part of the suite: Delicate Frames Collection available March 3.

For the inside… On the Basic White panel I stamped this very sweet flower with Secret Sea ink & colored it with Stampin’ Blends Soft Sea Foam & also Bronze. This piece was added to the inside of the card.

For the envelope… More of the same SDSP was adhered to the flap & the same flower image stamped on the front of the envelope: Secret Sea ink & colored w/ Stampin’ Blends Soft Sea Foam & Bronze

This is a sneak peek of a new packet of SDSP – it can be purchased March 3, 2026 as part of the Delicate Dreams Suite of products or individually. Remember… now is REDEMPTION time for those coupons you earned!!! Don’t lose them. You have until the end of February to redeem those coupons – or… you can give them to a teammate/ friend. How cool is that gift?!

Hey folks – it’s the second Tuesday of the month & time for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop and the theme is birthday. This is perfect as it’s my twins birthday in just a few days 😁 It’s a very light-hearted card for my bro’. I’m keeping it simple, yet with a fun fold design.

This begins with a Basic White card base 5 1/2 x 8 (NOT the traditional 8 1/2!). Score on the long side at 2″ & again at 6″. Turn the card base to the right so the short end is at the top of the trimmer. Place at 1 14″ and cut BETWEEN THE SCORE LINES. Now move the card to 4 14″ and cut BETWEEN THE SCORE LINES. Turn again so the long side is at the top and score at 3″ & 5″. Still with the long side at the top of the trimmer, place at the 4″ mark & score to the cut line at the top and again at the bottom. Note below what the card looks like from the top.

Now that you have done the cuts, time to decorate…

• Old Olive card stock: `1 3/4 x 5 1/4 (cut 4); 1 x 1 3/4 (cut 4); 2 3/4 x 3/4 (cut 2) 2 3/4 x 1 3/4 (1)
• Mixed Up Patterns DSP: 1 5/8 x 5 1/8 (cut 4); 1 3/8 x 7/8 (cut 4); COORDINATING PATTERN: 5/8 x 2 5/8 (cut 2); 1 5/8 x 2 5/8 (1)
• For the back: Basic White 1 7/8 x 2 7/8

Adhere DSP panels to the appropriate card stock pieces, then attach to card as shown. See photos below

I used the Wooly Friends stamp set and Wooly Friends Builder Punch to add a bit of a fun touch… stamped in Memento ink then colored with Stampin’ Blends – Gray Granite, Petal Pink (ears), & Bronze for the bell. The embellishments are Natural Matte Dots in Old Olive. The sentiments are stamped in Old Olive ink using Addressed to you for the Happy birthday and Wooly Friends or the top sentiment that says ” You’re simply fab-ewe-lous”. On the back are the flowers stamped in Memento ink and colored with Blends Strawberry Slush & Old Olive & a sentiment from Wooly Friends stamped in Old Olive ink

For the envelope… I used the Addressed To You stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog with Memento ink. I stamped the frame three times just ‘cuz. The balloons I colored with Stampin’ Blends – Real Red, Pumpkin Pie & Lemon Lolly. The DSP on the flap is from Mixed Up Patterns DSP – same as behind the lamb and on the panels to each side of it.

Welcome to our Thursday hop! Thanks for jumping in… If you came from Tara, I’m sure you were inspired by her creation – and I hope you will be inspired here as well. We have a color challenge today & I chose to work with the Traditions of Christmas Specialty DSP. What makes it specialty you ask – the gold! And it’s gorgeous!

I think I incorporated all the colors but Secret Sea by using the Traditions of Christmas SDSP. This is such gorgeous paper and my pack is nearly gone. Of course, my card class is using it to make this exact card today 😀

To make this beauty… begin with a card base of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and layer it with a panel of Pool Party that is embossed with the Peaceful Greenery embossing folder. Yes, I used this embossing folder in yesterdays card as well. Set this aside to create the fun fold front… cut 4 1/4 x 11 & score. (see below for all card cuts & scoring info) Attach Traditions of Christmas SDSP panels as shown in next photo. The Basic White panels: the smaller is stamped in Real Red ink using the Traditional Labels stamp set. The larger Basic White panel has the 5/8 wide SDSP strip. The Nests of Winter panel is attached on the ‘back’ of the front fold. Again – see the photo below for reference. I kept the photo in large size in order for you to see all the panels.

Once all pieces are attached to the folded panels, attach ribbon to the back of the folded section, then attach that entire folded section to the embossed panel, centering all around. Tie ribbon into bow to determine placement of sentiment.

Sentiment piece is Real Red & Pool Party layered. The gold foil sentiment is created with the fabulous Christmas Words Collage Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies. All are attached with adhesive, then attached to the card front, centering.

For the envelope I used the same piece of Traditions of Christmas SDSP as the front panels of the card. And that was it. This card is not too heavy and the bulk is enhanced by the bow. In lieu of the bow, a belly band could easily be used.

Finis! What do you think? I love the softness & contrast of the Pool Party against the Real Red. And this would be fun with other papers than this Christmas – I can’t wait to try another.

Now on with the hop. Don’t miss a single post – they should be extra special today. Click on the ‘next’ button or click on a name. Happy hopping!
