Hi Crafty Friends!
Step into an old-world art gallery with the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper! I love this eclectic collection of moody landscapes, floral sketches, and dramatic artistic details. I’ve been layering these gorgeous sheets in scrapbook spreads and featuring my favorites on cards and tags — and every single one turns out beautifully
Card Measurements:
- Base Card: Crumb Cake Cardstock 11″ x 4 1/4″
- Layer #1: Secret Sea Cardstock 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″
- Layer #2: Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper (DSP)
- Layer #3: Secret Sea Cardstock 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ (for border)
- Layer #4: Beautiful Gallery DSP 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ (select same pattern for top panel)
- Scrap: Crumb Cake Cardstock 2″ x 3/4″ (for greeting)
- Inside of Card: Basic Beige Cardstock 5 1/4″ x 4″
- Strip: Beautiful Gallery Cardstock 5 1/4″ x 1/4″
- Strip: Beautiful Gallery Cardstock 4 1/4″ x 5/8″ for front of envelope
To begin, I scored and folded the base card in half using a Bone Folder for a crisp, sharp crease. I then attached Layer #1 to the base card, followed by Layer #2, securing both with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using the Beautiful Gallery DSP and the Everyday Arches Dies, I die-cut the pattern with Die #3. I then cut Layer #3 using Dies #3 and #4 to create the arch border, and attached it to Layer #4. Once aligned, I carefully positioned Layer #4 onto Layer #2 (see photo for placement) and secured it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the sentiment, I stamped it using Secret Sea Ink on a scrap of Crumb Cake Cardstock, punched it out with the 3 Banner Punch, and adhered it to the upper right of the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I finished the front by scattering Natural Matte Dots for the perfect final touch.
For the inside, I adhered a piece of Basic Beige Cardstock, then added a strip of Beautiful Gallery DSP. I repeated the same steps on the envelope front for a polished, cohesive look.
