More Thanks with Gallery Blooms

On Saturday I shared a thank you card I made with the Gallery Blooms Bundle, new in Stampin’ Up!’s 2025 Annual Catalog. The card features soft, sweet flowers on a modern frame and sentiment. I’m sharing a secret with you today about that card (there’s more than just one), including the measurements I used to build it. If you missed that post, you can CLICK HERE to get all caught up.

The card I shared with you on Saturday was the prototype for a collection of cards I needed to make. I needed a handful of thank you cards to send to special friends and former coworkers. The Gallery Blooms Bundle gave me a perfect foundation for the collection of cards I needed to make. Here’s a look at the other designs I created with this same layout:

The colors shown above are Petal Pink, Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Pool Party, Lemon Lolly and Fresh Freesia. I made two of each of these colors, making it easy for me to pull together a lot of cards in a short time. Each one is beautiful in its own way – there’s no way I could choose a favorite (and no one is asking me to, so…)

Here’s a look at the Gallery Blooms Bundle I used to make these cards:

Here’s a rundown of the layer measurements on my card, starting from the card base and working my way up to the flowers:

• Thick Basic White – 4-1/4″ x 11″ (scored at 5-1/2″)
• Cardstock – 2-3/4″ x 4-1/2″
• Coordinating Designer Series Paper – 2-1/2″ x 4″
• Pecan Pie (frame) – 2-5/8″ x 4-3/8″
• Basic White – 1/2″ x 2-3/4″
• Basic White – cropped with Gallery Blooms Dies

I lined up the sentiment with the left, inside edge of the frame. I added a trio of Pecan Pie Neutral Matte Dots to each of the cards. Pecan Pie worked with all of these colors – I couldn’t have been happier.

Here’s a closer look at each of the cards I shared above:

What do you think? As a collection, they are perfectly wonderful. Individually, they are each unique and beautiful. Do you have a favorite? I already told you I couldn’t pick a favorite (although I’m partial to the Petal Pink card and the Pool Party card). I’d love to hear what you think?!

Thanks for stopping by today!
