Sometimes the cutest cards really do all the work for you—and this one is proof! 💛
For this sweet and simple card, I started with one of the 4" x 6" cutouts from the Cute As A Bug Designer Series Paper Pack. I don’t usually create cards in this size, but the panel was just too adorable to trim down. I wanted every bit of that cuteness to shine!
To complement the panel, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Sweet Bugs Stamp Set using Basic White Embossing Powder on a strip of Basic Black. That crisp white embossing really pops against the black and ties in beautifully with the bold outlines in the designer paper. The panel was mounted onto a 4 1/8" x 6 1/8" piece of Basic Black, giving it a nice frame and a little extra drama.
The card base is Thick Basic White, cut to 6 1/4" x 4 1/2", which makes this a 4 Bar Card. While this isn’t a size I normally use, it was the perfect solution to keep that cute panel intact—no sacrificing details here!
To add a little texture, I wrapped a piece of natural color twine across the top. The sentiment was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals for just a touch of dimension. And of course, I couldn’t resist finishing it off by coloring the ladybug’s wings with Wink Of Stella for a subtle sparkle.
This card came together so easily, and that’s a great reminder that card making doesn’t have to be hard. Sometimes letting a beautiful designer paper panel take center stage is all you need. Simple, sweet, and totally worth it—just like this adorable card. 🐞✨
