Such a cute deer in this Notes of Spring stamp set from Stampin’ Up and adding the little dragonfly from the Scalloped Wishes stamp set was the touch it needed. The Wood Grain Wonders designer series paper made the perfect background.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Pecan Pie card stock (retired Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Wood Grain Wonders designer series paper (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
- Notes of Spring stamp set (March 2026 Product of the Month Stampin’ Up)
- Scalloped Wishes stamps and dies (March 2026 Online Exclusive Stampin’ Up)
- Pecan Pie or Baked Brown Sugar ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
- Pear Pizzazz (retired Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
From your white card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half. Cut a piece to 2 ½” x 2 7/8” to stamp on and one to ¾” x 2” for your label. From Peacan Pie card stock cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. With your Wood Crain Wonders designer series paper pack, find the piece in Pecan Pie color and cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. Align one edge with both pieces and tear together to make a matching tear, repeat on each side giving you’re a small layer of the Pecan Pie layer.
With the white piece measuring 2 ½” x 2 7/8” and stamp the large ground piece and then the small one next to it in Pecan Pie ink (or Baked Brown Sugar ink as I didn’t have Pecan Pie) to form the ground. Stamp the large grass piece on the large ground piece and the small grass on the small ground. Take the small dragonfly from the Scalloped Wishes and stamp one in the upper right corner above the small grass.
On a scrap piece of white card stock stamp the deer outline in Pecan Pie ink and then with the fill-in stamp ink with your Pecan Pie ink and stamp off once and then stamp inside your deer outline. Use a pair of scissors to cut out your deer. On a small scrap of white stamp the small dragonfly in Pecan Pie ink and use the die to cut out. Use the Pear Pizzazz ink to stamp the “A little note of thanks”greeting on your white label. Adhere your dragonfly cutout to the upper left corner of your label with a half of a pop dot.
Adhere your two torn pieces together and then to the front of your card base. Adhere your stamped white piece to the upper portion of the Wood Grain paper on the front of your card. Use pop dots to adhere the deer over the ground stamps with the grasses showing. Adhere the label to the lower right side.
For the inside I didn’t put a greeting as I was just leaving it as a note, but I did stamp another of the small dragonfly in the upper left corner and a deer in the lower left corner using the same technique of stamping the outline and stamping off the fill-in.
That little deer is so cute and made a pretty thank you card for anyone.
