There is a really cool frame die in the Gallery Blooms bundle that I decided to play with and come up with a frame card to showcase the gorgeous Designer Series Paper that come sin the Beautiful Gallery Suite of products!

Measurements:
BASE: Mossy Meadow CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
(2) 4″ x 5 1/4″ layers and (1) 3/4″ x 3 1/2″
Basic Beige CS: 1″ x 4 and scrap for the long
thin banner die from Stylish Shapes die set
DSP: 3 1/4″ x 5″

Take the 2 Mossy Meadow 4″ x 5 1/4″ layers and emboss them with the Damask Designs.
Die cut the frame die from the Gallery Blooms die set with one of the layer pieces.

Cut the DSP to 3 1/4″ x 5″.

Stamp the “I miss you already” sentiment from The Right Words sentiment set in Mossy Meadow ink on a Basic Beige scrap and die cut with the thin long banner die from the Stylish Shapes die set.
Adhere to the Mossy Meadow 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ piece.
Emboss the 1″ x 4 1/4″ Basic Beige piece in the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder and adhere the sentiment piece on top of the embossed layer.
Place Stampin’ Dimensionals around the frame layer.
Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ embossed layer onto the card front leaving even borders the entire way around.
Adhere the DSP layer on the embossed Mossy Meadow layer under the frame and secure the frame with Dimensionals over top the DSP.
Adhere the sentiment piece over the bottom third across the frame.
Adhere three Low Profile Mossy Meadow Sparkle Dots around the sentiment piece to finish off this stunning card that “frames” this gorgeous DSP to perfection!

Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

more color mondays – berry burst, lemon lime twist and gorgeous grape

by | Jul 28, 2025 | card samples, color challenge, color theory, die cutting, embossing folders, my favorites, online exclusives, techniques

Today’s More Color Mondays continues a study in color theory using a complimentary, opposing colors of Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Gorgeous Grape.

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored 4 1/4″
4″ x 5 1/4″, scraps for dies, (3) strips

Paint the 1/4″ strips with a blender pen and Berry Burst ink in a striped pattern.
Paint the remaining strips with the individual colors.
Emboss the 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer with the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder.

Splatter the embossed layer with Berry Burst ink.

Die cut a Basic White scrap with two consecutive Stylish Shapes dies to make an open circle.
Cut Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals in half around the back of the circle die.
Die cut the large banner die from the Stylish Shapes die set and stamp the Happy Birthday from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set in Berry Burst ink.
Cut the three strips down to about 4″ to 4 1/4″ length and adhere them to the embossed layer in alternating pattern.
Pop up the open circle die over the three strips.
Pop up the Happy Birthday sentiment over the circle die.
Brush Berry Burst ink with a Blending Brush over the small butterfly die from the Beautiful Butterflies bundle.
Adhere to the circle die over the sentiment piece.
Adhere the embossed layer over the card front.
Place three Fine Shimmer Purple Gems around the card to finish off with a sparkle.

This is a great use of Strip scraps and using opposite colors works so well! Opposites attract right!

Try this color combination or another complementary one – now go create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

I absolutely love black and white paper I am drawn to it and this Botanical Textures paper from the Botanical Textures Suite is a great one!

I stamped the leaf image in Smoky Slate on Basic White cardstock.

I used Post-it Labeling & Cover-up Tape to three consecutive Textured Notes dies – positioning them evenly.
Position it over the leaf image.
Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
scrap for sentiment die
4″ x 5 1/4″ for the 3 dies
Smoky Slate CS: 2″ x 5 1/2″
4″ x 5 1/4″ for the die (1 above the largest
three dies)

Adhere the concentric three dies to the Smoky Slate Textured Notes dies.
Adhere the DSP layer to the left side of the card base.
Run the 2″ x 5 1/2″ Smoky Slate layer through the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder.
Adhere the 2″ Smoky Slate embossed layer to the right side of the base card.
Rub the corrugated side with a Blending Brush in Smoky Slate ink.
Place Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the Smoky Slate layer.
Place the die cut layers over the DSP and corrugated layer.
Stamp the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink and die cut with the smallest die in the Textured Notes die set.
Adhere the sentiment piece over the die cut layers.
Tap the Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker on a bone folder over the card to make splatter patterns on the card.

Adhere 5 Basic Gray and Smoky Slate pearls to finish the card!

This is a great masculine card! Try making a guy card with your supplies – now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!
