Art Gallery Bundle Samples

Hi crafty friends!

            I hope wherever you are, you are enjoying milder weather as befits springtime.  Here in Southwestern Ohio we are awaiting the coming of the 17-year cicadas: those noisy, creepy-looking large bugs that make a brief visit every 17 years to mate and then die off.  They are VERY noisy, so I’ve stocked up on earplugs.  They are due to start coming out of the ground around the beginning of May.  The birds will love it!!

            Today, I want to share with you three cards made from the Fine Art Floral Suite Collection in the January – June Mini Catalog.  I think this suite is beautiful and I was very happy to see it has carried over into the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, although the Designer Series Paper will no longer be available.  So get it while you can!  The paper is so gorgeous.  You can find all these products on pp. 32 – 34 in the Mini Catalog.

            This first card was one that I shared last week, and I’m bringing it back again since it’s part of this collection.  I made this card for my daughter Mary Rose’s birthday.

The inside layer uses a retired trio corner punch.  I love the way it dresses up the plain corners, don’t you?  And I stamped the small flower from the stamp set on the envelope, too.  Here are details:

            Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Basic White, Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper

Inks:  Mossy Meadow, Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo

            Stamp Set:  Art Gallery photopolymer stamp set

            Accessories:  Floral Gallery Dies, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine by Stampin’ Up!, Dimensionals

This next card was a little tricky due to the cut-out words and my finding out how to adhere them to the acetate layer, and how to adhere the acetate layer to the card front.  If you want to know, ask me and I’ll be happy to help.

Here are details for this card:

            Cardstock:  Pool Party, Basic White, Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper

            Inks:  Markers – Mossy Meadow, Flirty Flamingo, Poppy Parade

            Stamp Set:  Art Gallery photopolymer stamps

            Accessories:  Floral Gallery Dies, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine by Stampin’ Up!, Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tear & Tape, Snail

And finally, the third card:

Here are the details on this last card:

            Cardstock: Terracotta Tile, Basic White

            Inks:  Markers – Bumblebee, So Saffron, Granny Apple Green

            Stamp Sets:  Art Gallery photopolymer stamps

            Accessories:  Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate, Floral Gallery Dies, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine by Stampin’ Up!, Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Snail, Tear & Tape adhesive

That’s it for now.  Be sure to stop by soon when I’ll play with the Pansy Patch Suite Collection products from the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog and have some samples for you to see!  To follow my blog and receive email notifications when I’ve posted, subscribe on the right.
