hidden edge dsp card

Fern and Flora Bundle was the After Hours stamp set and dies that we were able to pre-order for OnStage 2026 Convention and got to play with and make lovely pre-designed cards with after one of the convention days.

This lovely set is perfect for those that love plants and nature themed sets! Today’s card is a fun hidden dsp edged card – super simple to make and recreate with any DSP or colored cardstock that you have lying around!

Measurements:
Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
4″ x 5 1/4″, scraps for dies
DSP: 1″ x 5 1/4″

Die cut a variety of the fern dies from the Fern and Flora die set from the scrap Basic White CS you will need 4-6 depending on the sizes.
I choose 6 dies and three ink colors – Granny Apple Green, Old Olive and the NEW 2026-2028 In Color Peaceful Pine inks.

Blend the dies with the different colors I choose two dies for each color and tried to color them with different pressures to vary the hue of the colors.

Emboss the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer with the Fern and Flora 3D embossing folder – this one is stunning!
Adhere the embossed layer to the card front.

Take and place adhesive ONLY on the left hand side of the back of the DSP layer. This allows the right-hand edge to have no adhesive and act like a pocket being able to “tuck” the dies under the “hidden edge”!

Adhere the DSP to the left-hand edge of the embossed layer.

Using the silicon matte because these dies are delicate and this will protect your surface from getting glue all over, place multi-purpose glue to the backs of each of the die cuts and tuck them under the DSP edge starting at the top of the card and overlapping until you reach the bottom of the card!
I stamped three moth images in the NEW Hybrid Black ink – which I love – this will replace the Memento ink and is awesome as you can watercolor with it and use Stampin’ Blends to color without smearing!

I then colored the wings of the three moths with the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush, the sparkle is so luscious!

Add the Moths to the card front – I adhered one directly to the DSP and popped the other two up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added 2 Golden Glow embellishments from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots to the card front.
I took a close up of the Shimmer Brush results – can you see that Sparkle? I hope you can!
I added a stamped sentiment box and the sentiment from the Fern and Flora stamp set and colored the border in Golden Glow Shimmer Brush!

Love this masculine card – don’t you?
Try this hidden DSP edge next time you stamp!Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
