Thinking of You – A Card with the Beautiful Gallery Suite

When it comes to heartfelt cards, “thinking of you” is one of my favorite sentiments to create for. It’s simple, sincere, and so impactful—perfect for letting someone know they’re on your mind.

Today’s card features one of my personal favorites from the annual Stampin’ Up! catalog: the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection. The stunning florals and soft artistic details in this suite offer endless possibilities for elegant, expressive cards. I especially love how this collection balances vintage textures with modern design.

Design Details:

For the focal panel, I created a soft watercolor background using the Cloud Cover reinker, letting the clear embossed floral image shine through in white for a delicate, almost ethereal effect. To elevate the look, I cut the panel into thirds and layered it over subtle patterned paper for contrast. All the measurements are listed in the picture below.

The embossed background adds a bit of texture without overpowering the design, and I chose a warm coral card base to balance the cool tones. A few carefully placed embellishments and a simple vertical sentiment finished it off.

Why I Love This Suite:

The Beautiful Gallery Suite makes it so easy to create something striking without fuss. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting out, this suite offers both beauty and versatility. It’s one I reach for again and again.

Don’t forget the envelope! A coordinating stamped floral image brings the design full circle and adds an extra special touch for the recipient.
