Desert Details WOW card

I spent time playing with the Delicate Desert suite and this is what I came up with: 

Save

I LOVE how it turned out!  I really wanted to use the Dry Brushed specialty paper along with the Desert Details bundle seen here.  The dies in it are so cool! 

Save

The two large rectangles and dies for the stamped flowers are just a few of the dies included.  

Save

My colors include Petal Pink & Soft Succulent. I cut two of the open leaf dies from the center of the Dry Brushed large shape, leaving the outer frame intact. No one but me knows there are empty spaces under the White layer! 

You can see the Dry Brushed metallic specialty paper here.  It's simply stunning!  

Save

There are two of each sheet in this package of 12" metallic paper for $8. 

Save

I added a few of the Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed sequins on this card too.  They're also part of the Delicate Desert suite seen here.

I hope you enjoyed this project; it came together so easily.

• Gorgeous cards with my ‘5 at a time’ templates! Free project sheet, templates & video tutorial

  September 29, 2025

  ---

  I shared these beautiful cards on last week’s Live video. They were a big hit!

  Save

  I love making cards with my 5 at a time templates. Making the most of my card stock gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I hope you’ll save these templates and use them in your own crafting.

  Below is the template I stamped on; it’s slightly smaller than the one I used for layering. I often use this or the larger one for the neutral layers inside my cards.

  Save

  Tip: I recommend making your first cut vertically at 4 3/4″. Then cut the left 3 pieces into 3 1/2″ layers. Once you cut all 5 pieces you’ll have one small piece left for a greeting or for punching.

  Next is the template for layering the above ‘stamped’ pieces on. It’s just slightly larger – 1/8″ so it’s quite a narrow margin.

  Save

  The above template has even less waste! It’s so nice to get 5 layered card pieces from 2 sheets of 8 1/2″ X 11″ card stock. Please save these templates!!

  In the past when I made cards with these templates I stamped before cutting the 5 pieces apart. This was a bit tricky to stamp in the right place. This time I cut my pieces before I stamped on them. *Always start with your greetings!

  As you can see I made sure I stamped three pieces landscape and two vertical. This isn’t necessary but it does change your cards up a bit.

  Save

  I used Cherry Cobbler, Timid Tiger; and Pretty Peacock here. I like adding Pretty Peacock and Cherry Cobbler to my fall cards. The stamp set is called Gathering Moments seen here.

  Tip on stamping – always stamp the greeting image first. Then start with the largest image and work your way down to the smallest to fill in any gaps. It’s okay to overlap your images.

  As you can see I blended a light wash of Timid Tiger over the stamped leaves. This softens the appearance and truly enhances your stamping.

  Here you can see the stamped pieces added to the larger layers from the 2nd template above.

  Save

  These were made simply with no punches or die-cuts. Sometimes it’s fun to just stamp and create. You can easily add the greetings on another layer (punches or die-cuts) to add more dimension.

  I’ll share my second set of cards using this template later this week. And I’ll also show the fabulous card box I made to gift them in!

  See how pretty they are once they’re added to the card bases and gems and twine have been added.

  This first card was made by Lori and it’s a fun fold card.

  Her colors include Pecan Pie, Early Espresso and Vanilla. The stamps are from The Right Words and More Messages sets. Gems are Streaked Dots and the metallic paper for that ‘tree’ die-cut is the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper. Can you see that pretty gold hoop around the tree? Wow!

  Here’s the inside view. The tree and deer dies are from the Autumn Trees dies.

  Measurements are:

  Her colors are Early Espresso with Very Vanilla. She stamped the greeting from the Amber Autumn bundle on the oval and added leaves from the Gathering Moments stamp set as well.
