A stunning fun fold wedding card made using the Gallery Blooms stamp set and the Everyday Arches Dies from Stampin' Up!

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

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.

A trio of line art card made using the Along These Lines stamp set and the Full of Life designer series paper by Stampin' Up!

Trio of Line Art

Recently, a couple of my teammates ran their first all day event and I dropped in during the morning to offer support. When I left, they kindly gifted me a pack with all the pieces to make the 4 cards they had designed. I had the stamp sets to make 3 of the 4 cards but not for the last one so decided to use the Along These Lines stamp set and the card sketch to make a different card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the trio of line art card, you will need:

Petunia Pop card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Secret Sea card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Full of Life dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White card

 

I adhered the piece of Full of Life dsp to the panel of Secret Sea card and then to the Petunia Pop card front.

The following images were then stamped onto the stitched circles, one image on each circle – the rose, the birthday cake and the bird. I used Secret Sea ink to stamp all the images, and the following Blends Pens were used to colour in the images – Daffodil Delight, Petunia Pop and Lemon Lime Twist.
