Easy DIY Telescoping Mini Album Tutorial with Designer Paper | Stampin’ Up! Sweet Bugs Card Idea

Looking for a wow card that’s easier to make than it looks? In this video, I’m sharing a fun telescoping-style card idea that turns designer paper into a handmade treasure your recipient will love to open. Thanks to Stamped Treasures for sharing her design! Let's create together - these are the measurements you'll need for the album base: Card Stock in the sizes listed below. 12″ x 6″ scored at 6″ 11″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 5-1/2″ 10″ x 5″ scored at 5″ 9″ x 4-1/2″ scored at 4-1/2″ 8″ x 4″ scored at 4″ 7″ x 3-1/2″ scored at 3-1/2″ 6″ x 3″ scored at 3″ 5″ x 2-1/2″ scored at 2-1/2″ Pattern Paper - it helps if they all coordinate. 5-3/4″ x 5-3/4″ 5-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ 4-3/4″ x 4-3/4″ 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ 2-1/4″ x 2-1/4″ If you love creative card folds, pretty patterned paper, and cardmaking ideas that look special without being overly complicated, this one is for you. In this week’s Glue & Giggles live, I’m sharing a layered telescoping-style card made with the Sweet Bugs Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! This project is a beautiful way to use your designer paper, show off both sides of your patterns, and create a card that feels extra special for birthdays, happy mail, or any occasion that calls for something a little different. I also begin by showing a simple home décor idea using framed designer paper. It’s an easy reminder that your paper crafting supplies can be used for more than cards. If you’ve ever had paper that felt too pretty to cut, this video will give you ideas for both crafting and decorating with it. Then I walk you through the base of this impressive fold card step by step. We use a series of folded cardstock pieces in graduated sizes, each layered together to create an expanding telescoping effect. It may look fancy, but once you see how the pieces are cut and assembled, you’ll realize it’s very manageable. Inside the video, I talk through: • How to create the base for a telescoping-style card • The cardstock measurements you need for each folded layer • How to cut your designer paper slightly smaller for clean borders • Why this design is a great way to mix patterns and use both sides of your paper • Ribbon placement tips for keeping the card closed without adding too much bulk • Simple ideas for decorating each panel with die cuts, fussy cuts, stamped images, and greetings • How to lay out your embellishments before gluing so the finished card feels balanced • Why this project works well for interactive cards, milestone birthdays, and gift-giving This is also a great project for women who enjoy making handmade cards with Stampin’ Up! products and want ideas that feel creative, thoughtful, and a little bit different from a standard A2 card. If you’ve been wanting to stretch your supplies and try a fold that really shows off your designer paper, this is a lovely one to add to your idea file. I also share a few beautiful swap cards I recently received, featuring embossing, specialty dies, fold-flat designs, and card kit inspiration. Those examples are always a fun way to spark new ideas and see how other crafters are using their supplies. Whether you craft along with me or watch first with a coffee in hand, I hope this tutorial gives you inspiration to pull out your patterned paper and create a card that opens with a little surprise.
