During my recent Facebook Live over on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ page, I featured the absolutely gorgeous Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up! I had so much fun creating these two cards — each with a little different look, but both showcasing the stunning elements from this suite!
The first card is bold and beautiful — I love how the richly colored florals pop against the softly embossed background. That Designer Series Paper is one of my favorites in the collection… such pretty patterns and colors! A little ribbon, some die-cut blooms, and those sweet embellishments finish it off perfectly.
The second card is softer and serene — I used the coordinating dies to create a tone-on-tone look with a pop of crisp white. The sentiment, “You’ve been on my mind,” is perfect for sending a little love to someone special. And isn’t that stitched circle die cut darling?
I’m thrilled to share that the Gallery Blooms Bundle is the star of my next Beautiful Gallery Card Class to Go! This class is packed with elegant, timeless designs that showcase the versatility of this stunning bundle — from soft florals to charming countryside scenes. You’ll receive all the pre-cut supplies you need to create six gorgeous cards, along with a step-by-step PDF tutorial to guide you through each one. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned stamper, this class is the perfect way to add some gallery-worthy beauty to your card collection — right from the comfort of your own craft space!

If you tuned in to my recent Facebook Live, you saw two beautiful cards I created using the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and the stunning coordinating Washi Tape. The response was amazing — so many of you loved the projects and have been asking for an IN PERSON class. Well, I heard you loud and clear… and I’m so excited to announce a brand new In Person Card Class (with a to-go option, of course)!
The Extraordinary Flora Bundle is packed with elegant florals, perfect for creating cards that truly “wow.” In my Facebook Live, I showcased two designs (shown below).

Yesterday, on my Facebook Live, I assembled shared how to create a fun fold using the products from the Stampin’ Up! Floral Delight Suite Collection.
Measurements:

Turn 90 degrees and cut at 5 ½”
- Basic White: 4” x 2” (wishing);
- Die cuts: Lemon Lolly: 2” square; Daffodil Delight: 2” square; Old Olive: 2” square;
- DSP: Floral: 2 ¾” s 5 ¼”; Burlap: 2 ¾” x 5 ¼”; 2 ¾” square
- Vellum: Floral: 2 ¾” square
Instructions:
- Use Bone Folder to score all score lines.
- Glue the DSP to the appropriate panels by referring to the sample.
- Glue “wishing” onto panel.
- Stamp flowers onto the center large panel and the small panel. Stamp “you all the best” to the smaller panel.
- Glue the small panel to card base – be careful where you put glue! Tip: when adhering this piece – double check placement to make sure it will fit in an envelope! To do this, you can place over an envelope!
- Make the flower by gluing the Daffodil Delight die cut to the Lemon Lolly die cut. Adhere leaves behind flower.
- Attach flower to card front with dimensionals.
- Add bow and tiny bees to finish the card.

It was so great to do a Facebook Live again, after recent surgery and time to heal! I featured two different stamp sets that both coordinate with a new punch – On Point. I love punch bundles and love that for this punch, we have not one but two stamp sets that coordinate! I paired the stamped, punched images with some gorgeous Designer Series Papers for some simple, quick but lovely cards!
If you’d like the measurements for these cards, they can be found on the FB Live recording!

On a recent vacation to Traverse City, Michigan, some of our family took a fishing trip out onto Grand Traverse Bay. My niece Katie “won” the day by catching a 16 pound fish!!! True story!!! I thought it would be fun to send Katie a Congratulations card on her big catch and created this card for her! Since it was for my niece, I decided to go with a pink vest – complete with blingy buttons!! Why not!!?
I had so much fun creating this card and wanted to share it on my Facebook Live! Don’t think of the Gone Fishing Bundle as just for men – clearly there are women who love to fish as well!
Here’s the recording of the card on made on yesterday’s Facebook Live. You will be able to see the measurements for the cards as you watch along on the video recording.
It was fun to add some fish and bobbers and lures to the fishing vest pockets! The pocketed were created with the Nested Essentials dies. I loved that they had “stitching” around them – just like a real pocket would!
Measurements:
Card base – 8 ½” x 5 ½”, scored at 2 1/8” on each edge of the long side
Basic White: 4” x 5 ¼” inside panel
To create collar – make a small pencil mark at 1” and 1 ½” – refer to recording to see how to do this
Hope you enjoy this card!
