Beautiful Gallery Floral Vase Thinking of You Card

No Comments

I used this lovely artistic roses in a vase paper from the Beautiful Gallery suite from Stampin’ Up to make this beautifully embossed card.  I embossed the whole image which makes it look even more like a painting. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Secret Sea card stock (2025-2027 In Colors Stampin’ Up)
  • Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Beautiful Gallery designer series paper (2025-26 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Gallery Blooms stamp set (Stam2025-26 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Beautiful Motifs stamp set (2025-26 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • VersaMark Ink
  • Copper Clay ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Clear embossing powder
  • Heat gun
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From your Secret Sea card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 3/16” x 5 7/16”.  Cut a piece of Basic Beige to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” for the inside of your card.  Take your Beautiful Gallery designer series paper and find the roses in a vase piece.  Trim it down to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” which basically just trims the edge of the rose on each side. 

Take your trimmed roses piece and put onto a piece of scrap paper.  With your VersaMark ink, ink up the whole piece of paper and then cover in clear embossing power, then tap off the excess and use your heat gun to melt the embossing powder to a clear finish.  Adhere this (I suggest with a lot of adhesive all over as it bubbles a bit which you can see with mine) to your piece of white card stock and then to the front of your card base. 

Take a white piece of scrap paper and stamp in Copper Clay in the “Thinking of You” greeting from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set.  Trim around your greeting for form a strip about ½” wide.  Trim a scrap strip of Secret Sea card stock to 5/8”.  Trim the end of each with a pair of scissors to form your banner end and then adhere together and trim off the flat end at about 2 ¼” and adhere to the front lower left side of your card front.

For the inside of your card the white seemed awfully bright, so I used Basic Beige.  Take your Basic Beige piece and your Copper Clay ink and stamp the “I’m here for you always” greeting from Beautiful Motifs in the upper center and then from the Gallery Blooms stamp set use the small bouquet of roses stamp and stamp in the lower left corner.  Adhere to the inside of your card. 

This is such a beautiful artsy card that I can’t wait to give to someone.

Beautiful Gallery Celebrate Birthday Step Card

No Comments

I love the way this card turned out, a floral step card made with the Beautiful Gallery Suite from Stampin’ Up.  The colors are lovely and it is just so pretty. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Beautiful Gallery designer series paper (2025 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Beautiful Motifs stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
  • Happy Birthday stamp (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Oval Flat Top nested dies
  • Rectangle Oval Ended Label Layering Dies
  • Pressed Flower Motif embelishments (2025 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From your Mossy Meadow card stock cut a card base to 4 ¼” x 11” and score at 2”, 4” and 7 ½” and fold the big section together and the smaller section together to form your step card base. 

Grab your Beautiful Gallery designer series paper and find the Mossy Meadow piece with the white roses and the painted looking piece of Mossy Meadow paper.  From the painted piece cut a piece to 3 ¼” x 4” and another to 1 ¾” x 4” and adhere each to the front of your steps. 

Now get your Oval Flat End dies and cut the following:

               White Card Stock: 2 3/8” x 3 13/16”

                  2 13/16” x 4 ¼”

                                                                  3 ¾” x 5 ¼”

               Mossy Meadow Card Stock:      2” x 3 7/16”

3 ¼” x 4 13/16”

               Mossy Meadow Floral:             2” x 3 7/16”

                                                                 3 ¼” x 4 13/16”

For the back step, take the 3 ¾” x 5 ¼” white piece and adhere the 3 ¼” x 4 13/16” floral designer series paper piece and adhere to the front of the large step.  Then take the 2 3/8”x 3 13/16” piece of white and the small floral designer series paper piece and adhere together and then adhere to the front of the small step.  Take the 2” x 3 7 1/6” piece of Mossy Meadow and adhere to the back of your small step piece, it just gives is a bit more support for your card to stand well.  Now from Mossy Meadow die cut out a label base and from white card stock cut out the top of your label.  Stamp in Mossy Meadow ink the “Celebrate” from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set.  Adhere to the lower portion of your front step with pop dots.  Use the Pressed Flower Motif embellishments to decorate each end of your label.

Then take the Mossy Meadow piece that is left and the white piece and adhere to the white to the Mossy Meadow.  With your Mossy Meadow ink and a “happy Birthday” greeting stamp and stamp in the upper portion of the white.  Adhere to the back of your card. 

This gives you a beautiful birthday card for one of your girlfriends of family members.

Beautiful Gallery Hello Card

No Comments

Here is a card I made to say hello when I haven’t seen or talked with someone in a while.  It uses the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper from Stampin’ Up along with the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Tan colored card stock
  • Cinnamon Cider card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Beautiful Gallery designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Beautiful Motifs stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
  • Banner label dies
  • Floral dies
  • Cinnamon Cider ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

This is an easy and quick card.  With your tan colored card stock cut a piece to 5 ½” x 8 ½” card base.  Score at 2 ¾” x 7” and fold both sides in to form the front of your card.  From Basic Beige cut a piece for the inside of the card to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. From the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper, find the piece with grassy hills and flowers in the front.  Cut a piece to 4” wide and 5 3/8” tall and then cut from the left in at 2 5/8″ which gives you the two pieces for the front of your card. 

With a scrap piece of the tan colored paper cut a smaller size banner die (or you can cut a strip and you can trim the end).  Then from the Cinnamon Cider the next size up die.  Take two nature or floral dies and cut two larger size from the tan colored card stock and two of the smaller from the Cinnamon Cider card stock.  On the tan smaller banner stamp the “hello” stamp from Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Cinnamon Cider ink. 

Adhere the two pieces of designer series paper to the front of your card base.  The adhere your label banners together, trim to size and adhere in the upper left corner down about a ½”.  Then adhere one each of your two floral pieces to the lower right corner. 

For the inside take your piece of Basic Beige and adhere your two floral pieces in the lower left corner.  With your Cinnamon Cider ink and the “I’m here for you always” stamp and stamp in the upper center of the Basic Beige piece.  Adhere into the center of the inside of your card. 

What a simple and easy card that can be given to anyone just to say hello.

Beautiful Gallery Thinking of You Card

No Comments

This is a great masculine card, but really anyone would probably enjoy getting it.  It is another easy card where the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper from Stampin’ Up does most of the work.

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Early Expresso card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Basic Beige card stock (Stampin’ Up
  • Beautiful Gallery designer series paper (2025 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Beautiful Motifs stamp set (2025 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Damask Design Embossing Folder (2025 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
  • Mossy Meadow ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

For your card base cut a piece of Crumb Cake card stock to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half and a small label piece to 3/*” x 2 ½”.  From the Early Express cut a piece to 3 ¼” x 5 ½” and another piece to 5/8” x 2 ½” and a third piece for the inside to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.  Then cut a piece of Mossy Meadow 3 1/8” x 5 ½”, one to ½” x 2 ½” and one for the inside to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Now cut a piece from the Basic Beige for the inside to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”.

From the Beautiful Gallery designer series paper find the piece that has the cottage on the river and cut it down to 3” x 5 3/8” fitting in the clouds and river to the whay you like it.  I took about ½” off the top and then cut in 5 3/8” from ther right side.

With your Crumb Cake card base and the Damask Design Embossing Folder that is part of the suite, emboss the front section of your card.  Take the cottage paper and adhere to the Mossy Meadow piece and then to the Early Expresso piece and adhere to the front of your embossed card front, about ¼” from the top. 

Take your Crumb Cake label piece, the Beautiful Motifs stamp set and stamp the “Thinking of You” greeting in Mossy Meadow ink.  Adhere your label to the Mossy Meadow label and then the Early Expresso label and adhere centered to the bottom of the front of the card. 

For the inside of your card, take the “You’ve been on my mind” stamp and stamp in Mossy Meadow ink on the upper center of the Basic Beige piece.  Then adhere that to the Mossy Meadow inside piece and then the Early Expresso inside piece and adhere to the inside of your card. 

Now you have a great card you can send to anyone.
