Gallery Blooms Wedding Card- Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on August 9, 2025July 24, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing fun fold projects. I have chosen to share the wedding card made for my niece and her new wife’s wedding last week. Such a lovely day. I used the Gallery Blooms stamp set and Everyday Arches Dies to create my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

To recreate the gallery blooms wedding card, you will need:

Night of Navy card – 5½” by 4¼” x 3
Petal Pink card – 5¼” by 4” x 4
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3½”
Night of Navy card – 9” by 1¾” – scored at 2½” and 6½”
Night of Navy card – 3¼” by ½”
Scrap Petal Pink and Night of Navy card

From the 3 rectangles of Night of Navy card I die cut three of the largest arches from the Everyday Arches Dies. I die cut the next size down arch from the four pieces of Petal Pink card. Using the next size down again I die cut arches from the four panels of Basic White card.

I stamped the large floral image onto one of the Basic White arches and the smaller curved double bloom onto the remaining three white arches using Night of Navy ink.

The flowers on each of the image were coloured using Petal Pink Blends Pens with the centres added with the dark Cloud Cover Blends Pen. Three of the Basic White arches were then embossed using the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. The remaining panel was left un-embossed so that I could write a message.

Adhesive Sheet was added to the back of a scrap piece of Night of Navy and Petal Pink card. I then used the Alphabet A La Mode Dies to cut out the letters for the girl’s names and the & sign. The letters were then adhered to the embossed panels. I used a T ruler to make sure I got the letters as straight as possible. The embossed and decorated panels were then adhered to the Petal Pink arches.

The scorelines on the long strip of Night of Navy card were folded and burnished and one of the Night of Navy arches was adhered behind the centre panel. The other two Night of Navy arches were then adhered to the strip, one to the right and the other to the left. The decorated arches were then glued into position.

I made a triple bow from some scrap blue metallic ribbon from my stash and used a Mini Glue Dot to add it to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment, from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set in Versamark ink on the small strip of Night of Navy card, covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I added it to the card front on Dimensionals straddling the knot of the bow.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder and the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set used with the carved in burnt wood technique to make an anniversary card – Ink, Stamp. Share Blog Hop

With the embossed (raised side) facing down I dragged the Crumb Cake ink pad across the panel. Next, I dragged the Pecan Pie ink and across the panel and finally the Early Espresso ink pad. This builds up the depth of colour and gives the burnt look to the background.

Using a Sponge Dauber I coloured the flower petals with Darling Duckling ink. I added Crushed Curry ink to the base of each petal to add depth. The flower centres were coloured with Sponge Daubers using Calypso Coral and Cajun Craze ink.

Mossy Meadow ink was used to add ink to the leaves. The embossed panel was then glued to the Early Espresso layer and then to the Very Vanilla card base.

The sentiment, from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink in the centre of the 4¼” by 2½” piece of Very Vanilla card. I die cut the sentiment using the Nested Essentials Dies and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.
