...
copy field "InsertTextfield" of cd "TextfieldCard" of stack "Textfield" 
to cd 1 of stack "BlankStack"
...

You can copy/cut any object from/to any card from/to any stack anytime, 
you will only have to
provide the "long" identifier of the object:

<object> "xyz" of cd "abc" of stack "yadda"


Hope that helps...
