Hello Friend Sweet Bug Card

Welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop. Today we are sharing creations inspired by a Tic Tac Toe challenge. Here is my card.

This card features the Sweet Bug stamp set and dies along with the Cute as a Bug pack of designer series papers. I love the papers in this suite- the colors are so amazing. I chose to heat emboss the sentiment to make it really pop against the Mossy Meadow card stock. This adorable Cute as a Bug Suite will be available on January 6, 2026. (It seems to be quite popular so if it is something you are interested in, don’t delay in ordering.)

The Cute as a Bug Suite is the feature of our next Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp. This is a free stamp camp with the purchase of the Cute as a Bug Suite from me. See below for more details.

Here is the Tic Tac Toe Challenge.

My card features the left hand column- Layers, die cuts, and patterned papers. To create this card you will need:

• Cajun Craze card base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
• Basic Beige mat 4″ x 5 1/4″ (cut 2)
• Patterned Paper 3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
• Mossy Meadow 1 1/8″ x 4″
• scrap of Basic Beige for stamping and die cutting ants

To see how this card is assembled and colored, please view the video below.

Here is another card I made using the Tic Tac Toe challenge. This one included Layers, Thinking of You and Twine.
