Hello Friend… and Hello Sweet Bugs! 🐛✨

Some cards behave. Some cards misbehave. And then there are cards like this one that just saunter onto your desk and turn out exactly how you imagined… if not a whisker better. This little cutie absolutely delighted me from start to finish!

I paired the upcoming Sweet Bugs (coming next month!) with the gorgeous Brushed With Beauty collection. I know… not the combo you’d expect, right? But somehow the whimsical critters and the artsy textured shapes decided to become besties, and the result is downright adorable.

Between the marching ants, the book-loving ladybug, the cozy mushrooms, and that very proud caterpillar, the whole scene feels like a tiny woodland storybook unfolding right on the card front. And honestly, I’m not mad about it.

Basic Steps

1. Create your background
Cut card base and add a layer of irresistible designs DSP

Die cut a mix of Brushed With Beauty in circles and layer them in a loose cluster. Think “organized chaos but make it cute.”

2. Stamp and colour the Sweet Bugs
Grab your favourite colouring tools and bring these little characters to life. I went bold and bright because these bugs have personalities to match.

3. Add your scene
Arrange your bugs, mushrooms, leaf, and sentiment over the background cluster. Foam adhesive gives each character a chance to shine.

4. Finish with tiny details
A couple of small die-cut butterflies and the embossed card base add texture without stealing the spotlight.

I can’t wait for you all to get your hands on the Sweet Bugs next month. They might be tiny… but they pack a whole lot of charm.

Happy crafting, friends! 🌿🧡
