I’ve created an Art Gallery Easter card for today’s Team Stamp It’s Blog Hop.
Thanks for joining us today! As members of Team Stamp It, we’re sharing a great variety of Easter cards and projects. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop. Leave a comment with the hashtag #stampitcontest. It gives you a chance to win a Here’s to You Card Kit.
Art Gallery Easter Card
My card uses products from Stampin’ Up!’s Art Gallery Suite. Find it beginning on page 32 of Stampin’ Up!’s January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. It features a 5 1/4″ x 4″ inch piece of the Golden Garden Specialty Acetate. This gold foiling is just gorgeous. You get three different designs of this acetate for $9. I feel this acetate and the design below works well with any of Stampin’ Up!’s colors. The Flirty Flamingo provides a pretty, pastel background that, to me, says Easter and spring.
Other products used include:
Stitched So Sweetly Dies
Sentiment from the A Wish for Everything stamp set
Flirty Flamingo and Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pads
Linen Thread
To achieve the dimensional look on this card, I first stamped the base flower (stamping off once) with the Old Olive pad. On a scrap piece of Basic White card stock, I stamped the flower shown (stamping off once) with Flirty Flamingo. I then inked the flower accent with Flirty Flamingo (full strength) and stamped on top of the first image. I die cut it with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine and carefully snipped off the colored flowers. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I adhered the flower heads to the top of the card.

It’s been a tough winter for many people with snow and cold and power outages. It’s time to look forward to spring. For me, spring says flowers. I may not be a good gardener or tender of flowers, but I love to look at them.
Stampin’ Up! offers a variety of flower-related stamp set and products. I go in streaks with what I use and play with. My current focus is the elements of the Fine Art Floral Suite found in Stampin’ Up!’s January-June 2021 Mini Catalog.
Art Gallery Spring Card
For this card, I used:
Art Gallery Stamp Set and Floral Gallery Dies
Stitched So Sweetly Dies
Sentiment from Springtime Joy Stamp Set
Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate
Blackberry Bliss card stock base
Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder (Annual Catalog)
White Heat Embossing
Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon
The Art Gallery stamp set and Floral Gallery Dies lend themselves to a variety of styles and techniques. The stamp set includes a sentiment for many different occasions.
The large flower image is a two-step stamp, which means that it takes two different stamps, or steps, to complete the image. For this stamp, you can experiment with different color combinations, changing the look and feel of the flower. Today’s card uses Daffodil Delight and Blackberry Bliss to complete the flower image.
For another beautiful card idea using this stamp set and specialty acetate, see this blog post with a video included.
Thanks for stopping by the blog hop today. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop to gather a host of spring-themed card inspiration. Use the hashstag #stampitcontest for a chance to win a You’re Amazing Card Kit. Congratulations to last month’s winner: Sharie Wilson.

Visit all of the blogs and leave a comment. We love to hear from you.
Get Inspired
As crafters and creators, we all experience those days when we need a little inspiration. Maybe you’ve lost your mojo. Perhaps you’re just feeling blah. How do you get inspired to dust off the ink and make a card?
I often reach for Stampin’ Up!’s catalogs, browsing the many pages of samples created by the company’s talented design artists. The inspiration for this card popped out at me from page 32 of the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. The sample of the 3 x 3 card on the top right-hand corner caught my eye. But I really wanted to create a full-size version. I made a few adjustments, substituted like products for some I don’t have, and there it was.
I’m so excited about how this turned out! Inspired, I’m thinking of ways I can mix these products up with different color combinations and shapes.
Thanks for stopping by today. Please contact me if you have questions about this card or other paper crafting questions. Be sure to visit all of the blogs listed below for more inspiration.
