If you’ve ever needed a thoughtful card in a hurry but still wanted it to look like a masterpiece, let me introduce you to a paper collection that’s about to become your best friend — Beautiful Gallery from Stampin’ Up!

The card I’m sharing today was made with just one sheet of patterned paper from this gorgeous collection. That’s right — no stamping, no blending, no complicated techniques — just the paper doing all the talking.

This soft and elegant black-and-white scene feels like a charcoal sketch straight out of an artist’s notebook. I simply trimmed the paper to size, layered it on black cardstock for contrast, then mounted it onto a neutral base. The sentiment, “Thinking of You,” from the Simply Said stamp set is all it needed to complete the look.

Measurements

  • Basic Beige Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm.

This is a fantastic project for beginners, or for those moments when you need something meaningful in minutes.

This is a simple card to make but is very effective. Fracture cards are created using the tearing technique. I tore both the Basic White and coloured cardstock together so I could mat and layer them. You could emboss both the coloured and white cardstock if you wanted.

Measurements

  • Coastal Cabana / Moody Mauve Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Basic White / Petal Pink / Coastal Cabana Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm.

I love to colour. It is so therapeutic. I relax and get lost in the process. I’ve used the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers to colour this pretty floral image. The stamp set is called Memorable Blooms. I am a sucker for any floral set and this one is so pretty.

I am in love with layering stencils. They make gorgeous cards and are great for those who don’t like colouring. There are 3 stencils for each of the 3 trees in the stamp set. These allow you to colour the trees for Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter. The choice is yours.

I’ve been watering the plants every few days in the garden. It is so peaceful, watching the wildlife go about their business. I love watching the butterflies flittering from flower to flower. So beautiful. This was the inspiration for this simple care. Above is a blue version of this card and below is an orange and yellow version. Which do you prefer?

I love it when Stampin’ Up! makes dies that can be used with the matching stamp set or entirely on their own. It increases the versatility of the set and as the saying it gives you more bang for your buck.

This is a card I designed for my cards my post club. I can’t include stamped images in my kits as per Stampin’ Up! policy so I focus on pretty papers and die cuts. This card fits the bill on both counts, wouldn’t you agree?

I made this card back in May. I was watching the Chelsea Flower Show and seeing the gorgeous flowers inspired me to make this card. This card features the new Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set. I’ve kept the colours hot and vibrant. They are next to each other on the colour wheel and look next to each other.

I love butterflies and was so happy to see this new butterfly set in the catalogue. These gorgeous butterflies are watercoloured using the Stampin’ Up! ink pads. If you are going to watercolour, always remember to use suitable paper. I have used Fluid 100 watercolour paper here. Basic White won’t stand up to water as well as Fluid 100 and you are liable to get pilling of your paper.

One trick I employed here is to black heat emboss my images before I watercoloured them. This helps to keep the colour in the lines and stop it flowing everywhere.
