Moonlit Flora Amazing Friend Moth Double Z-Fold Card

No Comments

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. 

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 (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • Fern & Flora stamp set and dies (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
  • 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”
  • One 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”
  • One 1 ½” x 2 ½”

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.

Waterside Retreat Happy Fathers Day Card

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.

Moonlit Flora World A Better Place Card

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.

Notes of Spring Notes of Thanks Card

No Comments

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.

Nobel Deer In The Pines Birthday Card

No Comments

This masculine birthday card made with Nobel Deer and In The Pines stamp sets from Stampin’ Up turned out so nice that I wish I had thought of this design a few weeks ago before my husband’s birthday so I could have used it. 

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

  • Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Earthen Elegance designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Nobel Deer stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • In the Pines stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Spring Corners stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Stitched Hexagon dies – use the one that measures about 2” x 3 ¾” (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Early Expresso ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From a piece of Crumb Cake card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and another piece to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8” for the inside.  From Mossy Meadow cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”.  From the Earthen Elegance (or some speckled tan paper) find the speckled gradient to Pretty Peacock and cut a piece in the tan part to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”. 

Adhere the speckled paper to one of the Mossy Meadow pieces.  Use the stitched hexagon die to cut out a hole in the center.  Take the cut-out piece and stamp the three deer stamp from the Nobel Deer stamp set in Early Expresso ink.  Take a scrap piece of the speckled paper and stamp the “happy birthday” stamp from the Spring Corners stamp set in the Mossy Meadow ink and trim to a small rectangle.  Adhere to a piece of Mossy Meadow card stock and cut out as a background. 

With some scrap Crumb Cake card stock and the 4 small tree stamp with the trunk and stamp in Early Expresso and also one of the small single trees stamp twice.  Then use the fill in stamps with Mossy Meadow ink and stamp the fill-ins.  Use the dies to cut them out.  On the one with the 4 trees trim off the tree to the left and adhere that flat overhanging your inside border slightly and almost up to the center point.  Then use pop dots to adhere the other three over it about ½” up from the bottom of your card.  Then adhere the two single trees to the left side with the outside one up a bit higher and the inside one popped up with pop dots.  Adhere your “happy birthday” greeting between the trees.  Adhere to the front of your card with pop dots.  Then adhere your deer cut-out inside flat so that your outer edge is popped up around it. 

For the inside adhere to piece of Mossy Meadow card stock and then the Crumb Cake on top of that.  Using your Early Expresso ink stamp the four small tree group with the trunks in the lower right corner.  Then use your Mossy Meadow ink to stamp the fill in green.  Then with your Mossy Meadow ink and the “wishing you an amazing day” corner greeting and stamp in the upper left corner. 

I love how this masculine birthday card turned out and can’t wait to give it to someone soon.

An Open Heart Thank You Card

No Comments

The wren was outside my craftroom window today which seemed like a sign that I needed to make a wren card.  I used a few antiquing features on this one as I haven’t in a while and I love cards that look a little old or weathered. 

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

  • Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  •  Peaceful Garden designer series paper (July 2025 Online Exclusive from Stampin’ Up)
  • Pear Pizzaz ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  •  Crumb Cake ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scrapper (Retired Stampin’ Up) or Scissors
  • Sponge
  • Blending Brush – Small (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From your Crumb Cake card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, and two to 3 ½” x 4 ¾”.  In the Peaceful Garden designer series paper pack, find the only sheet that is Crumb Cake colored with the white florets, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

With some spare Crumb Cake cut out three floret pieces, these are teasel burrs (I don’t know where this die is from).  Take one of your 3 ½” x 4 ¾” pieces of white you cut along with the Pear Pizzaz ink and your blending brush, lightly run your blending brush through the ink and blend around on your paper.  Tear all four edges and then use your Crumb Cake ink and a piece of sponge and sponge along your torn edges and also add a bit to your Pear Pizzaz.  Then from An Open Heart stamp set take the wren bird stamp and stamp to the left side of your piece.  Take your “So much my heart would like to say . . .” stamp and stamp in Crumb Cake ink on a small spare piece of white card stock.  Again tear your edges on all four sides and sponge Crumb Cake onto the edge. 

Now with the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” piece of white you cut, use your scrapper or one edge of a pair of scissors and scrape along the edge to roughen.  Do the same to the Crumb Cake Floret piece of designer series paper you cut.  Use your sponge and Crumb Cake ink to sponge the roughened edges. 

Adhere the Crumb Cake Floret piece to the white piece and then adhere that to the front of your Crumb Cake card base.  Adhere your wren piece toward the left side of the Crumb Cake Floret piece.  Adhere two of the Tessel Burrs you die cut to the right side of the card front.  With pop dots adhere your greeting over the stems of the Tessel Burrs and your wren piece.

For the inside of your card take the last piece of white card stock you cut  and your Crumb Cake ink and stamp the “Thank You” greeting in the upper center.  Adhere your last die cut tessel burr to the left side.  Sponge around the edges using your Crumb Cake ink.  Adhere to the back inside of your card. 

I think the Wrens outside my craftroom would love the tribute card to them.
