Thank You with Gallery Blooms

I’m not always drawn to floral bundles, but something keeps pulling me back to the beautiful flowers in the Gallery Blooms Bundle, one of the new bundles featured in Stampin’ Up!’s 2025 Annual Catalog. The bundle is one of the new products demonstrators are able to pre-order from the new catalog – and I was excited to play. Here’s a thank you card I made with several elements of the new collection:

Here’s a look at the gorgeous, new Gallery Blooms Bundle I used to build the elements on the card:

I wanted to showcase this view of the dies (vs. the cutouts) to show you the single die that cuts out two frames and a rectangle center – these are going to be heavily used in the coming year. Here’s a closer look at the coordinating Gallery Blooms Dies:

I cropped the flowers with the Gallery Blooms Dies and mounted on the smaller of the two frames from the same set of dies. I added a Petal Pink, striped paper from the Subtles 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper behind the frame and then bordered the frame with a piece of Petal Pink cardstock.

The sentiment on my card is stamped on a 1/2″ strip of Basic White cardstock using the Simply Said stamp set. I have used this stamp set more than any other over the past year. I love the simplicity of the sentiments that allow the papers and shapes to take center stage – and the variety of sentiments makes the set very versatile. Here’s a look at this must-have stamp set:

Simply Said, Stampin Up! 163756I added three Pecan Pie embellishments from the Neutral Matte Dots – another must-have in your collection – to tie to the frame on my card. I love the mix of pale pink, coral orange and soft brown in this simple card. If you love the mix of Petal Pink, Calypso Coral and Pecan Pie as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:

  1. Unlike you, I gravitate toward flowers like a free falling elevator. I have no need to add flowers to my collection. You, however, have made me want these blooms. Thank you for starting my weekend off with such blossoming beauty, including your gorgeous color selection!

    • It’s amazing how many flower sets we can accumulate – and how we need the next one. These are really special, and the dies make them a must-have stand out. Thanks, Nise!

  2. Hi Brian
    What a beautiful floral bundle! Your choice of coloring is so pretty! I agree that the Simply Said set is a must have set. I actually bought that several months ago after you had posted several designs using that sentiment set! Now I reach for it often and I was so happy that SU carried it over to the 2025-2026 catalog! Have a wonderful Saturday!

  3. Your card is beautiful.

  4. Wow, Beautiful card.

  5. Absolutely incredible card! I can’t wait for my bundle to arrive next week! So pretty!

  6. Brian, your card is so pretty. I love the colors and how the frame die is a great background for the wonderful flowers. So glad I have this bundle in my stash waiting to be inked. Enjoy your day!

  7. I love your coloring of the flowers and leaves! In fact I love the entire card – your choice of colors, balance of white with the dark mat, stripes with floral, espresso instead of black for the ink, placement of embellishments, etc. I have learned a lot from this one card. TFS!

  8. Just gorgeous! This came up on my Pinterest feed.

    • Thank you so much, Michelle. That was on a Saturday. The following Monday I posted the same card with five or six different colors to show how versatile it is. I appreciate you!
