Diagonal Fun Fold Card with Sweet Bugs

July 28, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 1 Comment

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Diagonal Fun Fold Card similar to this.
Mystery Solved!

I love how easy this diagonal fun fold card is to create! Jackie Bolhius shared an easy method that does not involve measuring that she learned from Shannon West! I love learning new tips and techniques that make creating simple!

This style card really showcases the designer series paper! I used the Cute as A Bug DSP.

Stampin' Up! Cute As A Bug Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp — Cute As A Bug Designer Series Paper

Your crafts will be buzzing with charm thanks to the Cute as a Bug 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper! With lovely ladybugs, fluttering friends, and picnic-perfect prints, this collection is sure to bug you in the best way. Whether you’re scrapbooking sunny memories or creating adorable handmade cards, these playful patterns will add a delightful, nature-loving touch.

I cut the ladybug on the front of my card from the DSP using the coordinating Sweet Bugs Dies. The inside of the card features one of my favorite sentiments from Framed All Around.

I love creating cards that can be sent anytime…no special occasion needed!
I feel like I hit the jackpot when it comes to friends!!! And honestly, I do not know how I’d get through the tough times without them!!! Many of my friends enjoy reading books as much as I do and we often share and discuss our favorites.

This card stands for a pretty display showcasing the DSP on the backside too!

I can’t wait to make more of this style card!!!! I am in New York visiting my daughter this week and I will share another version when I get back!

Mystery Monday Stampin’

July 27, 2026July 27, 2026 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 1 Comment

Let's create a handmade card together- visit www.juststampin.com for clues and all the details-Jeanie Stark Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Welcome to my Mystery Monday Stampin’! I hope you are ready for a fun creative challenge! This week’s mystery card is probably one of the quickest and easiest fun fold cards to make – and it does not require a lot of supplies. One of the wonderful things I love about mystery stamping is you use what you have! Are you ready to choose your creative adventure and solve this week’s mystery? Grab your supplies, follow the clues, and see what your finished card looks like at the end — it’s always a fun surprise!

CLUE #1 -Gather your supplies! *You will be making a portrait style card.

Cardstock – 8 1/2 x 11
Designer Series Paper (3 coordinating designs)– 2 3/4 x 3 1/2(H), 3 1/2 x 4 1/4(H), 4 x 5 1/4(H), extra for envelope (*optional)
Basic White Cardstock – 3 1/2 x 4 1/4(H), plus extra to stamp focal image/sentiment layer
Envelope
Stamps
Ink
Adhesive
Pencil
Ruler
Scissors
Ribbon/Embellishments of choice (optional)
Tools – Trimmer/Score Board, Bone Folder
*Optional – coloring tools, die cut/punch, Cut & Emboss Machine

CLUE #2
Take your ruler, pencil, and cardstock and measure 3 inches across the 8 1/2″ edge and mark it. Then measure 5 1/2″ along the bottom of the 8 1/2″ edge and mark it with the pencil.

CLUE #3
Take your paper trimmer and line up the two pencil marks in the cutting track and cut your cardstock at an angle. *This will produce two card bases..

CLUE #4
Score the card base along the 11″ side at 3″ and 6 3/4″. *The 3 inch score should be at the narrow end and the 6 3/4″ score at the wider end of the card base. Fold the 6 3/4″ crease inward towards the right side and the 3″ crease outward in the opposite direction.

CLUE #5
Place the 4 x 5 1/4 DSP on the Right side of the card base (inside when folded up) and raise it up leaving a border at the bottom and sides. Then flip it over and use your scissors to trim the excess at an angle along the card base.

CLUE #6
Place the 2 3/4 x 3 1/2 DSP for the left side (the smallest side) on the cardstock and raise it up leaving a border along the bottom and sides. Flip both pieces over and trim the excess DSP along the edge of the cardstock.

CLUE #7
Place the 3 1/2 x 4 1/4 DSP for the center when folded (backside before folding) on the cardstock leaving a border on the bottom and sides. Flip both the cardstock and dsp over and trim the excess DSP along the edge of the cardstock. Repeat for the 3 1/2 x 4 1/4 white cardstock for center panel (inside when folded).

CLUE #8
Attach the left and right dsp pieces to the front of the card base. Attach the center dsp to the backside of the card base.

CLUE #9
Stamp a focal image/sentiment and adhere to the front of the card. You can stamp another sentiment on the inside of the center of the card if you want or leave blank for a personal message.

CLUE #10
Does your card need anything else? Embellishments, etc.? Add that now.

CLUE #11
Decorate your envelope (stamp/emboss/add DSP) to coordinate with your card.

Have fun creating! I can’t wait to see what you create! Take a photo of your card and send as an attachment to my email (j.stark@goeaston.net). Feel free to reach out if you need help or have questions.
