Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms and Beautiful Motifs for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I used the Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms and Beautiful Motifs bundles to make a quick and easy Thinking of You card. This is also a very simple fun fold where the landscape in the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ designer series paper covers the front of the card and extends to the trim on the inside. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a color challenge this week:

Start with a 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ DSP panel and cut 1 inch off the right side so you have two panels with a continuous design. Adhere the large panel to a Very Vanilla mat and adhere the skinny panel to the right side of the Very Vanilla inside panel.

Adhere the large layered DSP panel to the front of the card with liquid glue. Use the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs dies to cut the leaf cluster and wildflowers from Mossy Meadow and Basic Beige card stocks. Adhere the die cuts to the card front with glue dots. Make a loopy bow with linen thread and adhere it with a glue dot.

Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Motifs stamp set on Very Vanilla using Pecan Pie ink and cut it out with the second smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. cut a Pecan Pie circle using the second smallest Spotlight on Nature dies and adhere it to the back of the label. Adhere the label to the card with dimensionals and finish with Cajun Craze gems.

Stamp the left side of the inside panel with the wildflower from the Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms stamp set using twice stamped off Pecan Pie ink. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I love to use beautiful designer series paper on cards because it makes it so easy! Add a few complimentary die cuts with a pretty sentiment label and a few embellishments and you have an impressive handmade card that anyone would be happy to receive.
