I have another fairly tone on tone card to share with you. Yesterday’s card was a masculine one using Mossy Meadow. Today I have a fun generic one that stars Misty Moonlight.
Stamp set
This stamp set is one of the Fun ones in the Mini Catalog. I tend to gravitate towards whimsy and animals. So of course this one had to come to my house. It truly is a generic stamp set that is fun. I opted for the Hugs and Kisses but there is a Birthday that fits as well. And I love that it fits the 2 3/8 Circle Punch. Punches are a favorite of mine and I love when sets fit punches and Dies that we already have.
The tone on tone made color choices easy here. I stamped everything using Misty Moonlight Ink. I punched the circle first to get placement. Then I layed the top words, which are one stamp, and the bottom words, which are another stamp, on the circle. I could pick it up with the clear block and have my spacing perfect. Easy peasy!! The pup is stamped on scrap and fussy cut to pop up in the center.
Papers and Colors
The card base is Misty Moonlight, as was the ink used. And the DSP is from the Country Lace Designer Series Paper. Actually this Misty Moonlight sheet is the opposite side of what I stamped the trees on for yesterday’s card. This paper is very versatile!!
To keep this in the tone on tone, more or less…..I only added a thin white layer behind the DSP. But I did not want only the white focal layer. A quick and simple fix was to punch the same circle from Misty Moonlight card stock. It gives a sort of shadow look. The layers are 3 3/4 X 5 for the white and 3 5/8 X 4 7/8 of the DSP.
Finishes
To complete this card did not require very much. I looked at a variety of embellishments to even include ribbon. But nothing seemed just right. So I added a trio of the New Regal Foiled Adhesive Back Dots from the Mini Catalog. And I couldn’t be happier. The bit of gold fleck in the blue really shows off.

The card I am sharing today is a case of one I received for my birthday. The layout is simple and the focal area could not be easier.
Papers
The focal layer is the DSP part of this card so I am beginning with paper. As I said above, this part is a quick one. I chose to use the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper for my starring role. You could use any pretty paper and that in itself could be a hard to make decision because they are all so pretty. Anyway…..The background layer of Highland Heather measures 3 1/4 X 3. And the DSP equals 3 X 2 3/4. It is then cut into 1″ strips. I layed them on the Highland Heather and eyeballed the distance I needed to leave. But it does not have to be exact by any means. So how simple is that!!! And you get a striking focal layer so easily.
The other paper colors were pulled from the DSP. I went with Shaded Spruce for the card base and the embossed layer is Crumb Cake. The sentiment is on Basic White to help it stand out a bit more.
Stamps and Dies
There is only one stamp used on the front of the card and that is the sentiment. This beautiful font makes the Happy Birthday seem really fancy. The sentiment and the Die used to cut it are from the Unbounded Love Bundle. This is a sentiment only set and the Dies are shapes to hold all of the sentiments. Plus they are a great mix of sentiments.
Extras
The most noticeable Extra is the embossed layer. This is the new in the Mini Catalog Forever Plaid Embossing Folder. You can easily see the detail of this folder. It really stands out. The next Extra is the ribbon holding the sentiment layer. Again, this is a new in the Mini item. It is the Shaded Spruce Satin & Sheer Ribbon. I simply folded it and stapled it to the embossed layer. Such an easy addition and no bow tying! And last but not least is bling. These are from the Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio from the Annual Catalog. They bring color and a little shine with them.

Today’s card is a quick masculine birthday card. I believe it would be a sweet sympathy / thinking of you card as well. Quick and versatile, that is always a winner in my book.
Stamps
The main stamp set used is the Delicate Forest stamps. The tree and the leaves are both from this set. I love that tree! It is a single tree that I stamped twice at full strength and then the center tree was stamped off first. It stands out more in person. And the leaves were stamped down the side to fill in that area. Plus it is almost time for that to begin happening around here. Some of you may already see leaves falling.
The sentiment is the only stamp not included in the Delicate Forest set. This small birthday is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set. I kept it in the tree family today!
Papers and Ink
The card base and the Ink are both Mossy Meadow. It is very rare for me to only have one color like this. Although I did add Very Vanilla for the sentiment layer as well as on the inside. I wanted this to be a quick and easy one to duplicate.
The paper the trees are stamped on may be a bit difficult to really see. It is from the Country Lace Designer Series Paper. It has almost a linen look to it. But is very soft. It provides some added texture I believe.
Extras
The simple part of the card does include a few extras. However they are items you may already have in your stash and are easy to grab. First is the Die for the sentiment layer. I used the smallest rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies. These are such handy Dies that I highly recommend them. With rounded rectangles, banners and a long, slim, stretched diamond shape these dies fit about any stamp you would want to use.
The next addition is the green Baker’s Twine at the top. This is a new in the Mini Catalog three color Natural Tones Linen Thread. And the final extra is the bling. Except there are two! I used the , also new in the Mini Catalog, Woven Golden Leaves. These are so pretty. They are almost see through they are so light. And finally the Regal Foiled Adhesive Back Dots that are also from the Mini. These are in a few different colors. Of course I went with the green for this pretty monotone card.

The Changing Leaves Bundle is my favorite of the current OnLine Exclusives. I have made a previous card using this bundle, but could not resist another one. The muted tones seem to help the leaves stand out very well.
Bundle
To say that these leaves are wonderful is an understatement. The details of the embossed image is so clear and interesting. This Embossing Folder is also a Hybrid. That means it is able to have a Die placed inside and cut out the largest mix of leaves. I did not use that feature, I simply love the embossing.
The Wild Wheat leaves are two Dies in the set also. Plus the sentiment layer with the stitching and rounded ends is great. The sentiment is a simple one that I love and is part of the stamp set. I think the card would bring a smile to anyone.
Papers
The card base is Wild Wheat, as are the extra leaves. I added the layer in Copper Clay and the banner behind the sentiment is too. To keep that simple I took a strip and simply flagged one end. For the main layer and sentiment Basic Beige was my choice. This new addition to our colors is quickly becoming a favorite. It pairs with almost any color.
Finishes
The embossed layer with the added 3D leaves are stand out enough really. But I wanted to give it a little more texture. My bling for this card is the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribbon Adhesive Dots. That is a mouth full for sure! But these embellishments are wonderful and add a little extra with the sparkle strips you can see inside of them.
Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

I shared the Joy Fold card with you a couple of weeks ago. Today is another version. This is such a fabulously simple card to make. As well as a way to share both sides of the designer paper.
Papers
The beautiful Unbounded Beauty Designer Series paper is the star of the card today. This sheet has the bright Petunia Pop as well as the Summer Splash floral side. And that is the reason I love this Fun Fold. Sometimes I hate having to choose between the sides of a sheet of DSP. I love both sides and want to use both sides. This Fun Fold is the answer to that dilemma.
The extra colors are all pulled from the floral piece of DSP. I chose Summer Splash as the card base, which is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. The Basic White Layer is a little brighter than the lightest color in the paper that is the stems. But it helps everything else pop. That layer is 4 X 5 1/4. And the DSP is 6 X 5, with the score at 2 1/4. Be sure and score with the side you want on the flap face down. Also, if you are using directional paper, as I did, that it needs to be at the top.
The little card is Basic White to partner with the layer. It measures 4 X 5 1/2 and is scored at 2 3/4. I used a scrap of another piece from the DSP as the layer here. It is 2 1/4 X 3 1/2 with the White 2 X 3 1/4.
Here is the open card.
Stamps and Dies
The Flowers of Beauty Bundle is the stamp set used. The flowers partner well with the DSP. It is part of the Suite! I stamped the leaves with Summer Splash and then the flowers with Petunia Pop. Plus I used a scrap of Petunia Pop card stock and a die from the set to cut the extra flowers. This die cuts 5 or 6 flowers at one time. I only used these few.
For the inside of the card I stamped the plant again, but I stamped off first for a lighter image. That allows for your message and signature to show through. All of the sentiments are from the Unbounded Love stamp. This is another set available in the Suite of Products.
Finishes
This card did not really need extras! The DSP is bright and cheery enough on it’s own. But you know me. Plus, the added flowers have a hole in the center. I added them to the card with a glue dot. And the glue dot is in the center. So I filled that center with my bling. I used the 2024-2026 Resin Dots in Pretty In Pink. That is the lighter pink in the floral DSP.
