Take the Smokey Slate strip and the Peaceful Pine strip and align one long endge and tear both together, it is a bit tough so if you can’t get them to tear together then do each individually, and then repeat with the other long edge.

Then also cut one of the large leafy pieces from the Smokey Slate. From some Peaceful Pine card stock cut two of the medium leafy pieces and one of the medium fern pieces.

Take your card base and adhere one of the Peaceful Pine pieces to the front of the card and then the Peaceful Pine Gingham piece. Adhere your strip about ¾” up from the bottom. Adhere your “happy birthday” banner to the right center of your strip. Adhere your Smokey Slate large leaf cut-out to the left side and then one of each of the medium Peaceful Pine fern pieces over that and then the two stamped small fern pieces to the top of those.

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.

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.

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.

Paper trimmer

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:

Waterside Retreat Happy Fathers Day Card

May 13, 2026 No Comments

This was an easy card with the Waterside Retreat designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and the sheet of cut-outs. This used the center cut-out cut down slightly with a few additions. What a beautiful Father’s Day card, my dad will love it.

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

Peaceful Pine card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
White card stock
Waterside Retreat designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Relaxing Waterside stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
Peaceful Pine or Soft Succulent (retired) ink (Stampin’ Up)
Pecan Pie or Baked Brown Sugar (retired) ink ( Stampin’ Up)
Paper trimmer)
Adhesive of choice
Pop dots

From a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 1/2”. With some white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the inside back of your card base. Take your Waterside Retreat designer series paper pack and find the sheet that has all the cut-outs and cut out the center one, then cut it down slightly to measure 4” x 5 ¼”. Adhere to the front of your card

Now from the Waterside Retreat designer series paper find the paper that has the life jackets and oars and cut out one single oar and one of the smaller life jackets, I did the green one but the pink striped one would look nice as well. Use pop dots to adhere the oar to the lower portion of your card on the dock so it looks like you are getting ready to go out in the boat (it looked best with the handle off the paper so I trimmed it off), then adhere the life jacket over that with pop dots, making sure you place your pop-dots so you don’t hit the oar.

Take a scrap piece of white card stock and your Pecan Pie ink (I used Baked Brown Sugar as I don’t have Pecan Pie) and the wood grain looking stamp from Nature’s Symphany stamp set, stamp off and then stamp onto your white card stock. Then take the “Dad” and “today is your day” greeting stamps from Relaxing Retreat and stack together on a block, then stamp over the wood grain. Cut out into a rectangle shape as desired. Stamp the flying seagull from Relaxing Retreat and stamp on a scrap piece of white card stock in Peaceful Pine (or Soft Succulent because I couldn’t get the Peaceful Fine ink yet) ink and use the die to cut it out. Adhere the seagull to the upper right corner of your label. Then adhere your label with pop dots to the upper right corner of your card front.

For the inside use the wood grain stamp again with your Pecan Pie ink and stamp off and then stamp in the upper center of your white inside piece. Then with Pecan Pie ink stamp the “Happy Father’s Day” greeting over the wood grain. Use Peaceful Pine ink and larger grass stamp and stamp in the lower left corner.

What a beautiful card for any occasion, but this one was made specifically for my dad on Father’s Day, hope he doesn’t look at my site before Father’s Day.

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.
