The Dragonfly Garden Thank You card is an easy card to make. If you can color, then this is the card for you.
Have you ever made your own designer series paper (DSP)? It’s relatively easy and today’s card is going to show you how to do it.
Since the focus for today’s card is coloring, you’ll need to get out your Stampin’ Blends. The following colors will be needed:
To make the card
- Begin with a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock, score and fold at 5 1/2″ to form your card base.
- Cut a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock and stamp the flowers all around the outside edge using Tuxedo Memento black ink. (Hint- be sure to place a scrap piece of paper under your cardstock to protect your surface from the ink.)
- Color the flowers with the following Stampin’ Blends: Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Misty Moonlight, Mossy Meadow, and Old Olive.
- Adhere the Basic White piece to the card using Stampin’ SEAL.
- Cut two pieces of Misty Moonlight cardstock; one measuring 3″ x 3 1/2″ and one measuring 7/8″ x 4″.
- Stamp your sentiment on a 3/4″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock using Misty Moonlight ink.
- Adhere a 2 7/8″ x 3 3/8″ piece of Beauty of the Earth designer series paper (DSP) to the large piece and the sentiment to the smaller piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock.
- Slightly layer and adhere the sentiment piece to the larger piece using Stampin’ SEAL and attach to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp two dragonflies on a piece of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Memento black ink.
- Color the dragonflies with Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and punch out with the Dragonflies Punch.
- Adhere a small strip of Foam Adhesive Strips to the back of the dragonflies and attach to the card.
- Attach five Rhinestone Basic Jewels as shown.
- Add a little shimmer by applying some Wink of Stella to the dragonflies’ wings.
So what do you think? Is making your own DSP easier than you thought? If you would still rather just buy the DSP, you can do that too.
Last day to purchase
Today just happens to be the last day that you can purchase the Dragonfly Garden matching DSP. It is called Dandy Garden and it includes 48 sheets of 6×6 paper. Some of which include matching dragonflies that can be cut out using the Dragonflies Punch.

I love this card and am definitely going to make my own DSP using that stamp! So cute!
Thank you Tracy! I would love to see how yours turns out.
LOVE your card! Great idea to use the flower image to make your own DSP. I’m going to have to give this a try.
Thank you so much Kathy! Once you try it, you’ll see just how easy it is. 🙂
I started to ignore your post because I don’t have the dsp for this stamp set. I am so glad that I did look at it. I love ideas for making my own dsp. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you Debby! I’m glad that you had a second look at it too! Have fun making your own DSP. 🙂
