Pro Tip: Even on small images, colour variation matters. I used Crisp Cantaloupe as my main colour and added a touch of Calypso Coral for shading. It only takes a few seconds, but it adds dimension and takes the colouring up a notch.

Pro Tip: When you want to create your own patterned "paper," reach for your inks! I blended Crisp Cantaloupe, Barely Blush, and Golden Glow onto white cardstock, then let the colours settle and dry before punching out the leaves. The result is a soft, natural blend, and because every area of ink is a little different, each leaf is unique—just like those you'd find in nature.

Pro Tip: When you have gorgeous papers, let them do the heavy lifting!

For this card, I used a more subtle pattern for the background and saved the real showstopper for the strips across the front. It's a simple way to draw attention to your favourite design without overwhelming the project.

The embellishments are kept to a minimum—just some coordinating ribbon, a sentiment, and a few gems. Sometimes that's all you need to let beautiful paper take centre stage.

Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! Pro Tip: Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! 

Pro Tip: When you're not sure what colours to use, you can rarely go wrong with black, white, and one or two accent colours.

The black-and-white background creates instant contrast, while a small pop of colour adds interest without overwhelming the design. It's a simple formula that works for almost any style, whether you prefer elegant, whimsical, modern, or bold.

This card uses Hydrangea Hue and Berry Burst for the floral elements, and I love how those colours stand out against the monochromatic background.

You don’t always need lots of layers to make an im You don’t always need lots of layers to make an impact, especially when you have gorgeous, foiled paper! 
For this card, I cut the Scenic Coast Designer Series Paper into simple banner strips and let that gorgeous sunset do the hard work. A black lighthouse silhouette creates a striking contrast and keeps the design clean and simple.

Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! Pro Tip: Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! 

Pro Tip: When the background paper is this pretty, sometimes the best approach is to keep everything else simple.

I added just a few embellishments, some coordinating ribbon, and a gold-embossed sentiment. Those little details complement the design without competing with it, allowing the hand-coloured background to remain the star of the project.

It's a good reminder that not every card needs lots of layers and extras—sometimes less really is more.

I had fun stepping outside my usual softer style f I had fun stepping outside my usual softer style for this one and leaning into the darker, moodier colours in the Moonlit Flora Suite. The Secret Sea background, fern details, and delicate mānuka flowers work so beautifully together.

I also added a few little details like blended edges, layered papers, and tiny holes in the label to give it a bit more texture and interest.

Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! Pro Tip: Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! 

Pro Tip: Two of the strips in the background of this card actually started out as pre-cut tags from the kit! I love challenging myself to look at supplies in a different way and find unexpected uses for them.

I trimmed the tags down to create uniform strips for the background. One of the pink strips ended up just a little too short, so I cut it apart and extended it. The bicycle image was then perfectly positioned to cover the join, and no one would ever know!

It's a great reminder that crafting doesn't have to be perfect. A little creativity can turn a potential problem into part of the design.

Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! Pro Tip: Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! 

Pro Tip: Here's a fun tip I discovered while making this card: the bushes are stamped in Misty Moonlight, but because they're stamped on a yellow background, they actually look quite green!

It makes perfect sense when you think about it, but it's an easy trick to forget. If you want a slightly different shade from your ink pads, try stamping on coloured cardstock instead of white. The cardstock colour will influence the final look and can create some surprisingly unique results.

It's also a handy workaround when you don't have the exact ink colour you're after. In this case, blue ink plus yellow cardstock gave me a lovely green effect without needing a green ink pad at all!

A white gel pen might not look like much, but it’s A white gel pen might not look like much, but it’s one of those crafty little tools that can really lift a project.

On this card, I’ve used it to add faux stitching around the border—even right over the floral image—for extra contrast and detail. 

The florals are from the Flowers Fair stamp and coloured with Watercolor Pencils for that soft, blended look.

Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to customise your printed vellum.
Printed vellum is already beautiful, but a few simple touches can make it feel even more special and help it work better for your project.

On this Berry Botanicals vellum, I added a little extra colour with the Shimmer Pens and detail with the White Gel Pen to enhance some of the printed elements and give it more personality—all while keeping the card clean and simple.

Little tweaks like this are a great way to stretch your supplies and make pre-printed designs feel more uniquely yours.

Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! Pro Tip: Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! 

Pro Tip:  When you don't have a full sheet of patterned paper for your background or mat:  piece it together!

For this card, I used several narrow offcuts from the Sparkling Celebrations Paper Pumpkin Kit and joined them to create the look of a full background panel. Once the die cuts and embellishments were added, you'd never know it wasn't a single piece of paper.

It's a great way to stretch your supplies, reduce waste, and finally put those "too good to throw away" scraps to work.

A card I’ll treasure forever. This stunning Moonl A card I’ll treasure forever.

This stunning Moonlit Flora fun fold was gifted to me by the Stampin’ Up! design team to celebrate reaching the 2 million career sales milestone. Such a thoughtful keepsake and a reminder of the amazing customers, team members, and friends who have been part of this journey.

The details on this card are simply beautiful. Take a closer look! #stamphappycards #cardmaking #funfoldcards #stampinupofficial #moonlitflorasuite

Required disclaimer: Fewer than 1% of demonstrators achieve this sales milestone.
Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! Pro Tip: Tip & Tell: this tip was made to share! 

Pro Tip: This card works because the bold black fern silhouettes stand out beautifully against the dreamy night-sky colours. When your background has lots of soft blending or detail, adding a dark die-cut layer on top helps create depth and makes the design pop without additional embellishments.

Pro Tip:  When your sentiment isn't quite "enough", use it more than once!  It's also nice to stamp it out in several colors, which really ties the project together, too.  It's a low-cost, easy way to make a smaller sentiment "bigger".
