Moonlit Flora – Welcome

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.

Moonlit Flora Embossed Thankful for You Card

June 13, 2026 No Comments

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.

The new Golden Glow card stock adds a bit of brightness to the lovely Moonlit Flora designer series paper from Stampin Up with the beautiful stamps and dies to go with it in the Fern & Flora set.

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

Golden Glow card stock (2026-2028 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)
Embossing folder (retired Stampin’ Up)
Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
Golden Glow ink (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Blending brush

Cut a piece of Golden Glow card stock to 5 ½” x 8 ½” for your card base and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Cut another piece to 1 ¼” x 5 ¼”. From Mossy Meadow cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. With some white card stock cut a piece for the inside of your card to 4” x 5 ¼”. Then from the Moonlit Flora designer series paper find the piece with the Golden Glow flowers and cut to 3” x 5 ¼”.

Take the Golden Glow piece you cut to 1 ¼” x 5 ¼” and emboss with an embossing folder (this is a Stampin’ Up embossing folder but I am not sure of the name, but any with a subtle design would work). With a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock cut the large leaf and fern dies, and with Old Olive use the fern and frond dies to cut those out.

Adhere your 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” piece of Mossy Meadow to the front of your card base. Then adhere the fern designer series paper piece to the top portion of the top of the Mossy Meadow, leaving about an 1/8” around top, left and right sides. Then adhere your Golden Glow embossed strip to the bottom portion. Adhere the Mossy Meadow large leaf and the Old Olive fern and frond pieces onto the Golden Glow strip to the left side. Stamp the “thankful for you” greeting in Mossy Meadow ink and then the label boarder around it from the Fern & Flora stamp set. Use the label die to cut it out. Adhere the label with pop dots over the ferns.

For the inside take the white piece you cut and with the Golden Glow ink and a blending brush and highlight the outside edge. Adhere the fern to the right corner. Stamp in Mossy Meadow ink the “You’re an amazing friend” greeting stamp in the upper middle. Adhere to the inside back of your card base.

A pretty thank you card for a great friend.

I love this Moonlit Flora designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and I have wanted to do something to highlight the green moth so this is the design I came up with to do that. A double Z-fold card with the Moonlit Flora designer series paper and the Fern & Flora stamp set and dies.

Dewdrops Embellishments (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Secret Sea ink (2025 – 2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

For you card base cut a piece of Secret Sea card stock 7 ½” x 10 ¼” and score at 4 ¼” and 7 ¼”, then cut 2” off the bottom to make a 5 ½” x 10 ¼” card base. From white card stock cut the following:

One 1 7/8” x 4 1/8”
Two 1 7/8” x 2 7/8”
Two 2 7/8” x 5 3/8”

Take the Moonlit Flora designer series paper and find the firms piece with the white moths and large green moth and the one with the Secret Sea diamond shapes. Cut out the large moth. Cut the white moth paper into three sections with the first two measuring 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and the last section to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Secret Sea blue diamond paper cut one piece to 1 ¾” x 4” and two to 1 ¾” x 2 ¾”. Fussy cut out the large green moth.

Take your scored card base with the large section of the right and fold the two sections to the right and then the last section to the left. Adhere each white piece to each section and then your fern pieces to the front of each white piece in order so they flow. Do the same with the long strip except it goes the opposite direction with the large section as the top first piece and the short section to the back of the card. Adhere the long section of the strip to the front short section of your card about 1” up from the bottom making sure to only put adhesive where needed. Then adhere the short section to the back of your card base.

With some white card stock stamp the “you’re an amazing friend” greeting in Secret Sea ink and then stamp the label stamp around it. Then use the label die to cut it out. Adhere to the front left side of the blue diamond paper on the strip using pop dots. Then adhere the large moth you cut out with pop dots overlaying on your label. Ad a few of the Secret Sea embellishments from the Dewdrops Embellishments around your moth and label area.

Adhere the last smallest white piece to the middle section of the strip.

I really wanted to use the large green moth and this card layout makes it the star, love the way it turned out.

Moonlit Flora World A Better Place Card

May 5, 2026 No Comments

I am pretty infatuated with this new Moonlit Flora designer series paper from Stampin’ Up with the Fern and Flora stamps and dies. This block card was the perfect design for this paper to showcase the white moth’s and flowers. This lovely design came from my Stampin’ Up Upline and friend from her Facebook Live at MyStampinStyle.com.

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)
Secret Sea ink (2025-2027 In Color Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

For you card base cut a piece of white card stock to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. From white card stock also cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5”, two pieces to 1 7/8” x 3 1/8” and two to 1 7/8” x 1 7/8”. Cut two pieces of Secret Sea card stock to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Moonlit Flora designer series paper find the paper that has the white flowers and cut two pieces that have the flowers on them to 1 ¾” x 3” and then the paper with the white moths cut two pieces to 1 ¾” x 1 ¾”.

With the Mossy Meadow card stock cut out the large leaf die and the fern die and from the Old Olive card stock cut one of the fronds. From some white card stock cut out a few of the dainty flowers. Use the label die to cut out a label from the white card stock. Use the “you make the world a better place” greeting stamp and stamp on the label in Secret Sea ink.

With your white card base, adhere one of the Secret Sea pieces to the front. Then adhere each of your flower and moth pieces to the white pieces and adhere each to the front of your card with the two long pieces in opposite corners and then the square pieces in the other opposite corners, choose the corners based on the paper. Now trim the leaf down and adhere to the back left of the label, the frond and the fern (also trimmed down) to the front left of the label and then decorate with a few of the white flowers. Adhere the label to the right side of your card front with pop dots.

For the inside of the card adhere the second Secret Sea piece and then the white piece. Cut one of the larger leaf dies out of Old Olive, trim down and adhere in the upper left corner. Use your Secret Sea ink and the ‘thankful for you” greeting and stamp in the upper right section of the card next to the leaf piece.

Such a lovely thank you card for anyone that lets you say how much you appreciate them.
