Fern & Flora Diamond Stepper Card

August 13, 2026 No Comments

I have had this Diamond Stepper card written down as a planned outline for a while but finally decided this was the paper I wanted to use for this design because I could use the fern die cuts as some perfect accents. This design uses the Moonlit Flora designer series paper and the Fern & Flora stamp set from Stampin’ Up to show off this card.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

Secret Sea card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
Old Olive card stock (Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Moonlit Flora designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Fern & Flora stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Golden Glow Ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Scoring board or scoring blade for your paper trimmer
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

With a piece of Secret Sea card stock cut your card base to 4 ¼” x 10 ½” and score at 1 ¼”, 2 ½”, 4 ¼”, 6” and 8 ¼”. Starting with the small 1 ¼” end fold down and then the next small section up and accordion fold the rest forming your steps. Also cut three pieces to 3” x 3” for your diamonds. From some white card stock cut a piece to 2 7/8” x 2 7/8” for your back greeting panel. From the Moonlit Flora designer series paper pack find the Golden Glow piece with the small dotted triangles and then find three of the fern pieces that have Secret Sea in them, I used the two different pieces that had the golden glow flowers (one with the white moths) and then the piece with the white flowers. From the Golden Glow paper cut two pieces to 1 1/8” x 4 1/8”, two to 1 5/8” x 4 1/8” and two to 2 1/8” x 4 1/8”, then adhere each piece to the appropriate panels on the step or your card base.

From the fern papers, cut one of each of the fern pieces to 2 7/8” x 2 7/8” making sure you cut them to include what you want and that they are going the right direction for the pattern. To make sure I got what I wanted in the correct direction I laid one of my 3” secret sea pieces on and drew around it with a pen and then cut it out to the 2 7/8” square so the pen marks were then cut off. Adhere each of your fern pieces to your Secret Sea pieces.

From your Mossy Meadow card stock cut one of the large leaf pieces and two of the medium fern pieces and from Old Olive cut one of the other medium fern pieces and two of the fern fronds. From the piece of fern paper the has the smaller orange flowers use the matching die to cut out one of the floral sprigs. With your golden glow ink stamp the “you’re an amazing friend” greeting on a scrap piece of white card stock and trim around to a rectangle tag.

To assemble, take your card base and your diamonds and choose which diamond you would like for the back. Put adhesive in the bottom 1” of your diamond and adhere to the 5^th panel with the 6^th panel folded down, centered and measuring to about 5 ½” in height when your base is folded up. Then adhere to middle triangle the same way centering over your back triangle about ½” lower. Do the same for your front panel about ½” lower than that. Then adhere the Mossy Meadow large leaf and the Old Olive fern piece to the left side of the back diamond, one of the two Mossy Meadow medium fern leaves and one of the Old Olive fronds to the right side of the middle diamond and the orange flower cut out to the right side of the front panel. Then adhere the greeting to the left side of the front panel.

For the back panel take the white diamond and adhere to the back of the diamond on the back of your card. Adhere the two remaining fern pieces to the bottom slightly on your white diamond with the majority on the bottom Golden Glow panel. Stamp the “thankful for you” greeting in Golden Glow ink in the upper portion of your white diamond. The bottom portion of your white diamond may need to bend out so that your card will stand properly.

I love the colors of this card and all the ferns, dark but with some bright pops, and lovely to let a friend know how much they mean to you.

On the second oval stamp the “sending love” greeting to the left side and adhere the other three flowers and leaf.

Adhere your large white oval to the Fresh Freesia scalloped oval and adhere to the back panel of your card.

Take your embossing folder and with your Pebbled Path ink pad lightly slide it down the embossed side of your embossing folder so that you are only hitting the flat surface. Then take your piece of Basic Beige measuring 4 ¾” x 5 1/8” and place it one the un-inked side of your embossing folder and close, holding in place so it doesn’t move and run it through your embossing machine. You will cut this down to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”, reserving the remaining piece for the inside of your card.

Now let’s assemble by taking your card base and adhering one of the Basic Beige pieces measuring 4” x 5 ¼” to the front and then your embossed fern piece to the front of that. Now arrange your three die cut fern pieces in the lower left corner with the larger Basic Beige one to the back and each of the Pebbled Path ones to each side. Using pop dots, adhere your label over the lower right side of your fern pieces and one of the large moths to the lower right of your label.
