Welcome to my ABC Color Series! Stampin’ Up! offers so many great color choices! I love to combine different colors and patterns and hope to inspire you with some fun color combinations throughout this series. Today’s projects feature Misty Moonlight & Mossy Meadow. I have several cards to share with you today. First, I decided to make a couple of masculine cards using the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper.
This style card showcases three different patterned papers. The Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper Pack is the “reel” deal for crafters who love to fish and people who need a fishing-themed card! This paper is filled with images of fish, nets, fishing lures, and planks. Create cards for the anglers in your life or add this paper to your holiday scrapbook pages. This paper also has basic designs that you can use any time, on any project.. Here’s a look at all 12 patterns.
Product colors: Boho Blue, Calypso Coral, Misty Moonlight, Mossy Meadow, Pebbled Path, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Very Vanilla, Wild Wheat
Here’s a look at each card.
Here are the details to create these cards:
Measurements:
- Card base (Thick Very Vanilla): 4 1/4 x 11 scored @ 5 1/2
- Very Vanilla: 4 x 5 1/5 embossed with Basics 3D Crosshatch, scrap to stamp sentiment and punch with 1 3/4″ Circle Punch, 3 3/4 x 5 (inside)
- Cardstock Layer (Misty Moonlight/Mossy Meadow): 3 1/4 x 4 1/2, 4 x 5 1/4 (inside)
- DSP (Let’s Go Fishing): 1 1/8 x 2 3/4, 1 3/4 x 2 3/4, 3 x 1 3/8, 1/2 x 3 3/4 (inside), 2 1/4 x 6 (envelope)
Directions:
- Fold & burnish card base (use bone folder).
- Emboss Very Vanilla layer with Basics 3D Crosshatch Embossing Folder. Adhere to front of card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
- Adhere DSP panels to colored cardstock layer. Adhere layer to card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp sentiment and punch with Circle Punch. Adhere to card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. *If you want to add Linen Thread (like I did for Mossy Meadow card) add before adhering sentiment.
- Embellish with 2023-2025 In Color Dots.
- Adhere DSP strip to Very Vanilla layer (inside card). Stamp sentiment or leave blank to add handwritten message.
- Wrap Linen Thread around Very Vanilla cardstock just above DSP and tie a bow. Adhere to colored cardstock layer then adhere inside card.
- Adhere DSP to envelope flap and trim to fit.
*You can view the complete list of products I used to create these cards below.
The card design above showcased three different patterns of DSP. Sometimes you want the DSP to really shine and be the focal point. The two cards below show simple card designs to showcase just one or two patterned papers.
The Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper is my favorite DSP in the Sale-A-Bration brochure. You can get this paper for FREE with a $50 purchase. Look at these beautiful patterns!
Product colors: Boho Blue, Bubble Bath, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Garden Green, Lost Lagoon, Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie, Soft Sea Foam
I couldn’t wait to create with this beautiful paper! Here’s a look at each card.
Measurements:
- Card base (Mossy Meadow): 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4
- Cardstock Layer (Pecan Pie): 3 1/4 x 4 1/4
- DSP (Flight & Airy): 4 x 3, 2 1/4 x 6 (envelope)
- Basic White: scraps to stamp/punch leaf and sentiment.
My last card is basically the same design as the card above except you cut the DSP into two pieces. You flip one piece over to showcase the other side. The ribbon covers the seam and is adhered on the back of the cardstock before adhering the layer to the card base.
Measurements:
- Card base (Misty Moonlight): 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored @ 4 1/4
- Cardstock Layer (Boho Blue): 3 1/4 x 4 1/2
- DSP (Flight & Airy): 3, x 4 1/4, 2 1/4 x 6 (envelope)
- Basic White: scraps to stamp/punch sentiment.
Here’s a look at all the different cards featuring 1, 2, and 3 different patterned papers.

M is for Marvelous Masculine cards! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Wendie!
Love the cards, but having trouble making sense of the dsp measurements. Would you please clarify which piece is which measurement. Thanks.
For the masculine cards: With a little more math I figured out that it should be 1 1/8 not just 1/8. Now to get the cards made!
Oops! So sorry Phyllis! Thanks for catching that. I updated with the correct measurement. Have fun creating!!!
Hi Jeanie!
All of the cards are just beautiful- it was a tough decision, but the “hello” card is my favorite! With the DSP being rather busy, I like how the larger section of card stock really makes everything pop!
The colors that you chose are a beautiful contrast with the DSP ! As always, thank you for sharing❤️
Dawne
Thanks Dawn! I love the new Flight & Airy DSP!!! Can’t wait to make more!
I cases the 2 ‘fishing’ cards for men. Thanks for sharing them!
