Happy Friday, y’all! Ready for a good weekend? Big plans?? 🙂
My card today is one that I made for a friend who’d helped me out a couple weeks back. Masculine cards can be…difficult, I know – but…I pulled out the Delicate Forest bundle and the Biggest Wish stamp set (again!), plus some cool Basics 3D Embossing – all in Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow! Take a look-see:
I started by using the large forest-y die from the Delicate Forest dies to cut from the middle of a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock.
I dry-fit the die cut on a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Crumb Cake cardstock – then I put a sticky note UNDER the die cut and onto the Crumb Cake panel – just under the narrow piece at the bottom. When I picked up the Mossy Meadow die cut – the sticky note remained as a mask on the Crumb Cake panel. Confused? Check out the video! 🙂
With the mask in place, I stamped the pretty tree image from the Delicate Forest stamp set three times in Crumb Cake ink, varying the height of the tree each time.
I pulled off the sticky note mask and embossed the panel in the cross-hatch folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folder.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the stamped and embossed panel on the front of a Crumb Cake card base.
Then I used Black Stampin’ Dimensionals – in smaller pieces where necessary – to adhere the Mossy Meadow die cut in place. Tip: be generous with the Dimensionals – this die can stand plenty of support!
I used the dies in the Delicate Forest set to cut out two Vellum cardstock leaves, which I adhered to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I used some Glue Dots to adhere a length of Natural 1/4″ Wavy Trim to the card front – over the bottoms of the vellum leaves.
On a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, I stamped a sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink. Then I cut it out with the larger label die from the Delicate Forest die set.
Using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals (double-stacked on the left side and single on the right) I adhered the sentiment over the trim.
I added a large Brushed Metallic Adhesive-backed Dot and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped the corner foliage image from the Delicate Forest stamp set in Crumb Cake in the corner of a Crumb Cake panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Mossy Meadow mat and into the Crumb Cake card base and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got the Delicate Forest image in Crumb Cake ink on the front…
…and again on the envelope flap!
Et Voila! Oh my – I LOVE this Delicate Forest bundle! The die set is…stunning – you KNOW how I feel about foliage die cuts! And the sentiments are lovely – perfectly suited for sympathy cards. Since I didn’t want this one as a sympathy card – I reached for what has become a Go-To for me – the Biggest Wish stamp set. Which was just right!
I hope you like!

Finn likes the tree still being up – don’t let him tell you any different! That soft white light is VERY flattering!

Aww – thanks, Lynnie! 🙂
Mary, I love this card! You are right, masculine cards can be tough, and this card has elegance also. Not only is it great as is, but it can be recreated with other colors and sentiments. Versatility! I never noticed this bundle before but it is a great set! Thank you for posting this idea!
Yeah! It’s a wonderful bundle and I’m glad that you’ve found it! Thank you so much! 🙂
Such a pretty card! The colors and layering are perfect! As for Finn and the tree…glad that he’s enjoying the lights. 😉
Yes – he knows how handsome they make him look! Thanks, Amy! 🙂
You nailed your thanks card!
