Beautiful Motifs Bundle Coordinates So Well with the Beautiful Gallery 6 x 6 DSP
June 28, 2025
When I first saw the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection on pages 52 - 57 of the current annual catalog, I thought everything was truly beautiful. I've created a link if you would like to check it out. I knew immediately that I needed the Gallery Blooms bundle. I thought I could live without the Beautiful Motifs bundle. I was wrong!!! Let me tell you that you need the entire suite. With the Sweet Suite sale going on until the end of June you can get this suite and then get another 50% off. Think about this suite deal. Here is my card using the Beautiful Motifs bundle, that I had to go back and purchase.
The book fun fold is one of my favorites. It's simple yet has so much potential. I featured two of our new In Colors for 2025-2027, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea.
The base of this card is Cloud Cover cut at 4 1/4 x 11, Score at 5 1/2 and 6 3/4. Fold in half and then fold back at the remaining score line. Glue the small section down making a spine and the book.
For the spine cut a piece of Cloud Cover 1 1/4 x 4 1/4. Emboss with the new Damask Designs embossing folder. Glue to the spine. Tie the Secret Sea Faux Linen Ribbon around and tie into a knot.
Use the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper for the front of the card. Cut the Cloud Cover pattern to 4 1/8 x 4 1/8. Another reason I love the book fun fold is because it makes the focal part of my card into a square.
For the corners of my square I used the die from the Beautiful Motifs dies. I have a little hint for this. I suggest that you cut these separately on separate pieces of card stock. If you run an already cut piece through the die cut machine it will flatten it. You want to keep all of the embossing for your card. The die cuts part of the design and part remains attached. I used my paper snips to snip the little places where the cut out is attached. The two end pieces end up still attached to the card stock. I just didn't use them. Glue one in each corner of the card front.
Use the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a circle from Basic Beige. I used the 4th circle in. Stamp the large design stamp on the circle. I stamped off my Basic Beige pad. Do this 2 times one side and then the other. Stamp the saying, also from Beautiful Motifs in Secret Sea. Glue to the center of the card front.
Cut out the smaller flower from the Impressions Abloom dies in Cloud Cover and in Secret Sea. I used three flowers on the outside and 1 inside. Cut centers from Basic Beige. The flowers and centers each have two dies. I centered the two and then added tape to the side without the ridges. They can be cut out together. Cut some on the tiny flowers in Cloud Cover and Secret Sea. The dies cut out three little flowers at a time.
Assemble the flowers and place them as you wish on the card front. I used a dimensional to add the flowers. I placed the tiny flowers on glue dots to add. Your card is done!
Let me just say that the Floral Impressions Suite Collection could be yours 1/2 off if you order the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection mentioned above
I turned the inside of the card into a gift card holder. You can do that to almost any card. Cut the patterned paper 2 x 4. Use a circle punch or a die cut to cut across the middle of the top. I used a retired 1 inch circle punch. Add Tear N Tape to the sides and bottom. Add to the bottom of the inside left.
Add a 4 x 4 piece of Basic Beige inside. Add the saying from Beautiful Motifs. Add another flower and center. Add more of the tiny flowers.
The Beautiful Motifs dies are very interesting. I think they will become one of my favorites.
