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.

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!

Stampin' Up! M fun fold card ideas with Violet Dreams and Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I’ve been celebrating the 10 year anniversary of my blog and looking back at some of the past projects I’ve shared and redoing them with some of my favorite current products. The fun fold card below is one I created in May 2017 for my ABC’s with Fun Folds series. You can click on the image to view the original post.

Let’s take a closer look at each of my “redo” cards. Stampin' Up! fun fold card idea with All Aflutter bundle and Violet Dreams Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
BJ Peters called this card a M fold card because when you look at it from above it looks like the letter M.

This card features one of my favorite DSP’s, Violet Dreams.

The Violet Dreams 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper is a whole mood: sweet, airy, and instantly eye-catching. With delicate violet florals, polka dots, soft stripes, and coordinating precut pieces of blooms and leaves to layer on cards, scrapbook pages, and other projects, it brings all the soft, dreamy vibes your crafts crave.

I paired this gorgeous paper with the All Aflutter Bundle for this card.
Stampin' Up! All Aflutter Bundle-visit juststampin.com for inspiration, ordering information, and more-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Meet your new favorite stamp and punch duo—the All Aflutter Bundle! From sweet, delicate butterflies to bold beauties, this bundle makes layering fun and easy. Plus, the punch cuts shapes that stand out beautifully on your projects, giving your cards and crafts a fresh pop.
*This is a Two-Step Stampin’ set; it allows you to layer two or more images to create one final image with extra texture and dimension in the colors you want.

I added Wink of Stella to the butterflies for a little extra sparkle!

Here’s a look at the inside of this card.

I love this sentiment from Framed All Around! While I was on vacation I was able to attend an author series event, A conversation with former First Lady Jill Biden. Something Jill Biden said really resonated with me, “Through the tough times in life, it’s my friends who get me through”. How true is that?!!! This card is perfect to send to a friend and let them know how much you appreciate their friendship!

Here’s a couple of photos from the event.

This paper is from the Frightfully Fun Suite. I didn’t purchase the stamp set & dies; however, I had to have the Adhesive-Backed Bats, Ghosts & Dots! They’re perfect for adding sweet and spooky flair for fun Halloween cards, gift tags, scrapbook pages, and treat boxes.
