Beautiful Gallery Suite in an ‘over the top’ card

I was playing with the Beautiful Gallery suite for last week's Live video and came up with this card.  

Save

It has tons of die-cuts and layers I am calling it 'over the top'.  It's not my normal style at all.  But I do like it; probably because it has just a few colors in it. That helps it not seen too busy.  

The textured 'frames' are done with the Damask Designs folder; both are die-cut frames in the Gallery Bloom dies (which are out of stock right now unfortunately). The smaller frame is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. The DSP in the background is the Beautiful Bokeh paper. 

My colors include Fresh Freesia with White and Old Olive.  

Save

I inked the two different floral stamps with Stampin' Write markers, coloring directly onto the stamp before stamping on my White CS.  Watch the video below to get a tip or two on this technique.   The rest of the pretty die-cuts are from this Suite seen here.

Remember this suite and both bundles are both BOGO Through June – Buy 1 Get 1 50% off. Unfortunately I saw that the Gallery Bloom dies are out of stock right now.

• Beautiful but quick cards with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More card pack

  May 15, 2024

  ---

  I shared this card on last week's FB live video. It starts out with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More cards and a Basic White Memories & More card base. 

  Save

  I scored the blue card and the front half of the card base in half.  Then added a few short pieces of card stock behind the front layers so that layer pops up. 

  Save

  The size of these pieces do not matter at all.  Some people use one thicker piece on each side; I used two thin pieces.  It allows the top layer to move independently from the front of the card.  See how it's done in this video. 

  Save

  
  You can see these Memories & More cards here. They come in a pack of 28 – half are 3 X 4" and the rest are 4" X 6". They fit our Basic White Memories & More card bases and envelopes perfectly.  They're also a great way to create larger than our usual cards – 4 1/4" X 6 1/4" finished size.  

  I made more beautiful cards with these products, adding a bit of twine to some along with a few printed greetings from the Saying Something Ephemera pack.
