I have shown these two cards in the recent past (in videos), but didn’t have information for them in my blog yet. So…
Ta-da!…I present to you a couple more card ideas featuring the Cute As a Bug Suite of products.
This first one is a Side-Open Slide Out Card, the invite that I sent out for my Silver Elite Retreat.


Measurements…
- Mossy Meadow Cardstock
- 5-1/4” x 8-1/2” scored at 2-3/4” and 6-3/4” (main base layer)
- 3-3/4” x 4-1/4” scored at 3/8” (slide out layer)
- Mossy Meadow Two Tone Cardstock (so you can have a light and dark option)
- 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ (supporting base layer)
- 2-3/8″ x 4-7/8″
- 1-1/4″ x 2-1/4″
- Scraps for die-cutting “leaves”
- Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/8” x 2-1/4”
- 3-1/4″ x 4-1/8″
- Daffodil Delight Two Tone Cardstock
- 2-1/4″ x 4-3/4″
- Basic Beige Cardstock
- Scraps for die-cutting mushroom stalks
- Cajun Craze Cardstock (that has been embossed with white splatters)
- Scraps for die-cutting top sections of the mushroom stalks
- Cute As a Bug Designer Paper (mushroom pattern)
- 2-5/8″ x 5-1/8″
- 1-5/8″ x 5-1/8″
Directions…
- Fold, form pocket, and add the designer paper layers onto the Mossy Meadow main base layer. Attach the slide out layer (with the pre-printed or stamped Basic White layer atop). Refer to my photo below and/or my video from my 12/17/25 post for help if you need it. Then mount this whole thing onto the Mossy Meadow Two Tone supporting base layer.

- Mix about 3 drops from the Craft White Ink Refill to a couple drops of water. Then use a toothbrush to splatter dots of white onto the scrap of Cajun Craze Cardstock. Add white embossing powder, shake off the excess, and heat to set. Then die-cut the mushroom stalk tops from this scrap with the white dots towards the top. And trim to copy the look of the mushrooms in the designer paper.

- Die-cut the Basic Beige stalks and the Mossy Meadow leaves. Assemble your mushrooms onto the Daffodil Delight layer about an inch from the top and about 2 inches from the bottom. (The tops of my mushrooms are attached with Dimensionals.)
- Stamp your sentiment onto the small Basic White strip, layer it onto the slightly taller Mossy Meadow strip, then adhere this under the mushrooms/leaves on the Daffodil Delight layer about an inch from the bottom. Embellish with bees.
- Add this Daffodil Delight layer to the slightly larger Mossy Meadow Two Tone layer. Then add all this to the front left of the card.

My second card was one that I put together for fun. I actually stamped and colored most of the images on the Basic White Cardstock when I did my Show & Share video back in late November (around the 47 minute mark).

Measurements…
- Granny Apple Green Cardstock
- 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to the short side at 4-1/4″ (base layer)
- Basic White Cardstock
- 3-1/4″ wide x 3-1/2″ tall
- 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ (inside layer)
- Basic Black Cardstock
- 3-3/8″ x 4-3/8″
- Balmy Blue 1/2″ Sheer Ribbon
- about 20″
Directions…
- Emboss the front half of the Granny Apple Green base layer.
- Stamp images onto the Basic White Cardstock pieces using Tuxedo Black ink. Color in with Blends Markers. Use the Light Pool Party marker to go around all the images which softens them a gives a faint hint of blue sky behind.
- Add the larger white layer (stamped with the word LOTS) to the inside of the card. Add the smaller white layer to the black layer. Wrap around and tie on the Balmy Blue Ribbon. Then add all this to the front of the card using Dimensionals.

I hope you were creatively inspired by what I shared today.
