Stampin’ Up! Moon Lake Truly Grateful Card

I used the Moon Lake and Truly Grateful stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! to create a masculine thank you card to share today.

Moon Lake - Stamp With Amy K

My card design was inspired by the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 256.

And the colors for my card were inspired by Sunday Stamps SSC95.

Screen Shot 2015-02-20 at 3.40.08 PMI started by adhering a panel from the Adventure Bound DSP Stack to a panel of Basic Gray card stock, then to a Soft Sky card base with SNAIL.

Moon Lake 2 - Stamp With Amy K

I adhered another strip of Adventure Bound DSP to a strip of Basic Gray card stock, then to the card front with SNAIL.  I stamped the sentiment from the Truly Grateful stamp set in Basic Gray ink on on a strip of Naturals White card stock.  I punched the end of the strip with the Banner Punch and adhered it to the card front with SNAIL.

Moon Lake 3 - Stamp With Amy K

I stamped the goose image from the Moon Lake stamp set in Basic Gray ink on a panel of Naturals White card stock and I colored the water area with my Soft Sky and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers (Smoky Slate Marker Pack is a Sale-A-Bration item, also available in the Annual Catalog).  I cut the image out with a Circles Collection Framelits Die and adhered it with SNAIL to a circle punched from Basic Gray card stock with the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch.

Moon Lake 1 - Stamp With Amy K

I adhered the layered image to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a single Smoky Slate Candy Dot from the Neutrals Candy Dots pack next to the sentiment.

Adventure Bound DSP - Stamp With Amy K

I adhered a strip of the leftover Adventure Bound DSP to a panel of Naturals White card stock on the inside of the card.

  1. This is truly a Perfect masculine card, Amy! Having a hubby, 3 sons and 2 grandsons, I am always in need of masculine cards but they are not always easy to create. I love everything about your card, even the candy dot because you didn’t go overboard with them! ; ) Any guy would appreciate that part!
    It’s snowing and there is also ice in the forecast for today. It does look pretty out there….I’m just glad I got all my shopping done yesterday….

    • Thanks Roberta, glad that you liked it! I try hard not to over embellish on the masculine cards, Candy Dots are nice because they’re not so shiny and sparkly. 🙂 We missed the snow and ice in our area, but just north of us looks like they got hit…so it was really close to us! Stay warm today!

  2. Amy, this is the BEST card I’ve seen using this set! Love the way you used the dsp and how you punched out the goose (I thought he was a duck..lol). Great guy card!

  3. This is awesome Amy! I like everything about it. It is nice how you let the water do all of the talking in the circle with the duck. It totally works. The colors you picked are great too.

  4. Amy, love the DSP that you used. What a great masculine card! This is my favorite card that I have seen using that type of DSP. Great job.

  5. This card is wonderful! I am so eager to receive this stamp and pleased that you have given us such a perfect example.

  6. Wow, what a gorgeous use of the DSP Amy! I love your layering and the juxtaposition of the goose in the water with the rocky layer. You crafted an AWESOME masculine card! 🙂

  7. What a lovely, serene card, Amy! I have resisted buying that DSP stack because I wasn’t sure about the “realistic”-looking images. Now I’m rethinking that…great use of the stones paper. Thanks for playing along with us at Sunday Stamps!

  8. Wow, Amy your card “rocks!” I haven’t found time to tackle that specific DSP, thanks for sharing your inspiration, and thanks for playing at Sunday Stamps!
