New Mini Catalogue Insta Hop – Sweet Bugs + Spread Joy 🐞

crafty friends! Welcome to our Coast 2 Coast Insta Hop where we’re sharing creations featuring products from the NEW Mini Catalogue! 🎉

For my project, I HAD to play with the new bug set because look at these little sweethearts… they’re basically tiny flying happiness with wings 😂🐝🐛. I went for a fun “storybook scene” style card, full of cute critters and cheerful vibes.

Simple Steps to Make This Card 🐞

1. Cut & prep your card base

Start with your Basic White card base
Add a mat layer on top in your favourite colour Cardstock

2. Create your background panels

Cut a few Square panels of DSP for the top section and one larger rectangle panel for the bottom section

3 Stamp & colour your bugs

Stamp your images on Basic White cardstock using Memento Black Ink.
Colour them in (Blends are PERFECT here for quick shading!).
Fussy cut or die cut them.

4. Build the scene

Pop up some images with dimensionals for depth.
Arrange your bugs across the bottom like they’re on a little march mission 🐜🎺🐜🎶.

5. Add the sentiment

Stamp and cut your sentiment.
Pop it up for dimension and tuck in small accents (tiny bugs/fun shapes).

6. Final touches

Add Wink of Stella or glitter to the bee's wings
Stand back and admire your tiny bug parade 😄

Why I love this set 💛

It’s cute, it’s cheerful, and it works for SO many occasions: birthdays, hello cards, encouragement, and even thank you cards. Plus… bugs that don’t bite and only spread joy? YES PLEASE. 😂🐝
