Happy New Year!  Welcome to more Creative Creases Challenges. Folds may be fancy or simple and will always be fun. The Design Team at Creative Creases Challenge are here to inspire you to create and share. Join in the fun!

Today’s fun-fold is as cute as a bug as well as a “sneak peek” from the new 2026 Spring Mini Catalog, available on January 6, 2026.

I chose a simple fun fold that focuses more on the cute little die-cuts and embellishments from the suite.

Cute as a Bug Suite #167007

What I love:  Choices! The die cuts coordinate with the sweet, colorful patterned paper as well as the stamped images. You choose whether to stamp and color or use the paper. I chose the simpler route for this card.
