I spent some time playing with the Fern & Flora 3D embossing folder and loved how this one turned out. Then I paired it with some paper from the Moonlit Flora designer series paper and used the Fern & Flora stamp set, all from Stampin’ Up, to make this pretty card.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Secret Sea card stock (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Moonlit Flora designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- Fern & Flora stamp set (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- Dewdrops Embellishments (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- Golden Glow ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
From a piece of Secret Sea card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Then cut a piece to 3 ½” x 3 ½” and another to 1 1/8” x 3 ½”. With some white card stock cut to pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 3 3/8” x 3 3/8”, one to 7/8” x 3 ½” and another to 3 ¼” x 4 ½”. Take your Moonlit Flora designer series paper and find the Golden Glow piece with the four dot decorations, cut one to 4” x 5 ¼ and a second to 1” x 3 5/8”.
Let’s start by taking the white piece you cut to 3 ¼” x 4 ½” and your Fern & Flora 3D embossing folder. With your Golden Glow ink pad, open and swipe in along the flat part of your embossing folder where your folder will emboss into, so that the ink is only on the flat surface that will be the background. Lay your paper on the opposite raise side and fold your folder closed and run through your machine to emboss. This will put the ink onto the background of your paper leaving most of the embossed surface white. Set aside to dry well. Take the white piece you cut to 7/8” x 3 ½” and the “thankful for you” greeting stamp from the Fern & Flora stamp set and stamp in Golden Glow ink.
Take your Secret Sea card base and one of the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” white pieces and adhere to the front. Then adhere the Golden Glow designer series paper piece to the front of the white. Now take the Secret Sea piece measuring 3 ½” x 3 ½, adhere to white square piece to the front of it. Grab your embossed piece and cut down to 3 ¼” to make it square, the part you cut off will be for the inside of your card, and adhere to the white piece. Adhere that to the upper portion of your card front, leaving an equal area on the three sides. Now take the label piece of Secret Sea, adhere the Golden Glow paper piece to it and then your stamped white piece to that. Adhere to the lower portion of your card again leaving an equal amount on three sides. Take two of the larger Secret Sea embellishments from the Dewdrop Embelishments and add one to each end of your label.
For the inside of your card adhere the white piece measuring 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. With your Golden Glow ink stamp the “you’re an amazing friend” greeting in the upper portion. Adhere the embossed piece you cut off at the bottom, again leaving equal space on three sides.
I am just in love with this card and can’t wait to give it to someone.
