The muted colors using the Fern & Flora 3D embossing folder for this card background turned out just like I wanted, not always the case. And then add a few die cut ferns pieces and stamped moths from the Fern & Flora stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up and what a great masculine thank you card.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Pebbled Path card stock (retired Stampin’ Up)
- Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Fern & Flora stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- Fern & Flora 3D embossing folder (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- Pebbled Path Ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
With you Pebbled Path card stock cut a piece to 4 ¼” x 11” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Take your Basic Beige card stock and cut a piece to 4 ¾” x 5 1/8”, two pieces to 4” x 5 1/4”.
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 with some scrap Basic Beige card stock stamp the “you make the world a better place” greeting from the Ferm & Flora stamp and die set in Pebbled Path ink and then the outside boarder in the same. Also stamp two of the larger moths and one of the smaller moths. Die cut them all out. Then also die cut out one of the large leaves. With some scrap Pebbled Path card stock die cut out one of the fern fronds and the medium fern leaf.
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.
For the inside of your card, take your last Basic Beige piece measuring 4” x 5 ¼” and with your “thankful for you” greeting from the Fern & Flora stamp set, stamp in Pebbled Path ink. Take the left over embossed piece and cut down to 4” in length with the section you like the best and adhere up about 1/8” from the bottom of your Basic Beige piece. Add you two moths as desired.
I am just in love with this card and it is a great masculine thank you card.
