Becky's Stampin' Studio: Cute as a Bug Fun Fold

Well, it's Senior Center time, again, so time to create cards for them! I try to use up some of my retired inventory with them, but this one is all current! This one was designed by Tara at Tarabeth Stamps! So clever, you know I love the arches as much as I love ovals! And, with this one, I finally get to use the mushrooms in the Sweet Bugs Dies!! Glad she had a tutorial on how to assemble them, as I doubt I'd ever figure it out! I love this one so much, I think I'll do it in my monthly class here, too!

Measurements:

Mossy Meadow: 5 1/2" x 6 3/4", 3" x 4 1/4" (arch)
Crushed Curry: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" (lower front)
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"
Cajun Craze: scraps
Basic Beige: scraps
Cute as a Bug (OE): 2 1/8" x 5" (mushroom print), 2 5/8" x 3 1/2" (fern print)

To Make This Card:

Score Mossy Meadow base @ 4 1/4". Crease into a mountain fold.
Die cut 4th largest Arch from the Everyday Arches in Mossy Meadow, and 5th largest arch from the "fern print".
Score the Mossy Meadow cardstock piece @ 1/2". Crease well.
Trim 3/8" from the DSP piece. (you may still need to fit this a bit first)
Next, adhere White layer to inside Crushed Curry piece.
Place Tear & Tape on inside of "mountain fold" of Mossy Meadow arch on the 1/2" flap. Hook this over the top edge of the inside cardstock pieces and press, firmly, into place. Make sure flap will easily flip up!
Now, adhere this entire piece to the inside of card!
Next, add the Crushed Curry and DSP pieces to front flip up piece.
For the 3 "mushrooms" die cut the 3 stems in Basic Beige, and the tops from Cajun Craze. These are in the Sweet Bugs Dies. (Note: the smallest "mushroom" is actually a little cluster of 3 - the tops are in one die!)
Now, adhere the "fern" DSP piece to the Mossy Meadow arch, fitting it first.
Next, adhere the Cajun Craze "mushroom tops" to the matching base, using Multipurpose Glue. The smallest one actually has 3 tops. I couldn't actually determine which one went where, so just go for it!
Then, adhere the 3 "mushrooms" to the "flap" with Multipurpose Glue. (I should have centered mine more, but did mine like she did!
Stamp sentiment in Cajun Craze ink in opening, as shown.
Finish with scattered Brass Butterflies and a little Ladybug on the base front. (Note: there are also some cute "bugs" you could die cut and add - a snail, small butterfly, and small dragonfly! Too cute!)
