Cute As A Bug Fun Fold
I began with a card base of Mossy Meadow, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, scored on the long side, 3″, 6″, and 7 1/4″, and folded. The top piece is 3″ X 8 1/2″, scored on the long side at 4 1/4″, and folded in half.
After cutting and folding, I glued Sweet As A Bug Designer Paper to the front of the card base: 5 1/4″ X 2 3/4″ and 5 1/4″ X 1″. Then, I glued a different pattern of Cute As A Bug Designer Paper to the front of the top piece, 2/3/4″ X 4″. When gluing the top piece to the card base, I glued only the portion that touches the card base, while laying folded, and flat, to insure the edges were even. I also added Basic White Cardstock to the inside, 5 1/4″ X 2 3/4″, for a personal message.
“You make my heart buzz” is from the Be Mine Stamp Set, stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used an Endless Love Die for cutting the heart. The flowers and bee were cut from Cute As A Bug DSP with Sweet Bugs Dies, and all were attached with Dimensionals. I like the way the flowers fit the shape of the heart. For extra pizazz, I added three Ladybug Epoxy Shapes. Can you find the third one, hidden on a leaf?

I absolutely LOVE the pairing of the lily of the valley flower crescent with the heart. I was going to say that was my favorite thing about the card, but where would that leave my love of your choosing that particular sentiment to perfectly accompany that too-cute bee, or the mix of DSP patterns you used??
Obviously, the entire card is too fabulous to deconstruct for favorite pieces-parts.
Another design masterpiece, my friend!
Love this DSP and fold. Your granddaughter probably likes this paper a lot too! TFS.
What a cute centerfold card, Su! This bundle is adorable and is in my stash to play with soon. Pairing it with the Bee My Valentine makes it even cuter! Thank you for joining the blog hop this month. Have a great rest of your week.
One of my fave fun folds AND. one of my fave Suites – that makes this one of my fave cards! Love it! 🙂
