Elegant All Occasion Card Using the Gallery Blooms Bundle

Try this elegant All Occasion Card using the Gallery Blooms Bundle by Stampin’ Up!® and see how combining a few coordinating supplies can create something truly special. This card was designed for those times when you want your handmade card to feel a little extra—but without being complicated or fussy.

It’s not a beginner card. It uses quite a few different products, including the Gallery Blooms Bundle, the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper, the Simply Said Stamp Set, plus the 2″ Circle Punch. But even with all those elements, it’s surprisingly easy to put together. This is the kind of project that gives you that satisfying “wow” factor without spending hours crafting.

The background features a paper weaving technique using strips of the soft blue patterned paper from the Floral Impressions pack. It adds visual texture and interest without needing ink or embossing folders. It’s also a great way to use up scraps.

The florals from the Gallery Blooms Bundle were stamped, colored with soft greens and blue tones, then die cut and layered above the sentiment. That clean circle sentiment was punched using the 2″ Circle Punch and stamped with one of my favorite greetings from the Simply Said Stamp Set. It’s perfect for so many different occasions!

What I love about this card is that it’s versatile. The layout works beautifully for any sentiment, and the rich colors make it feel appropriate for everything from a birthday to a thinking-of-you note. You can also adjust the color scheme depending on the occasion or season. (Check out my Color Combination Library for inspiration.)

If you’re an intermediate stamper looking for a card that looks polished but still feels achievable, this is a great one to try. You can prep the elements in advance and then assemble in batches, making it ideal for craft nights or creating your own stash of go-to cards.

Cards like this are a great reminder that using what you have—when it’s coordinated well—can lead to truly beautiful results. And when you send it? You’ll know it’s a card that feels just as good to give as it does to make.

1. Fold the Shaded Spruce cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
2. Adhere one of the 4″ x 5-1/4″ pieces of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
3. Adhere 1 of the 5/8″ x 4-1/4″ pieces of Floral Impressions paper to the right side of the card, about 2″ over from the right. Adhere 1 of the 5/8″ x 5-1/2″ pieces of Floral Impressions paper to the middle part of the card front, about 2″ up from the bottom of the card front.
4. Adhere the second piece of 5/8″ x 4-1/4″ Floral Impressions paper 1/4″ to the right of the first piece of 5/8″ x 4-1/4″ paper. Adhere the second piece of 5/8″ x 5-1/2″ Floral Impressions paper 1/4″ below the first piece. This will create a faux “paper weaving” effect.
5. Using the other piece of 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White cardstock, stamp the sentiment on one side of the cardstock using Black Memento ink. Punch out using the 2″ circle punch. On the remaining cardstock, stamp the double flower image using Black Memento ink. Color in the image using the Pool Party Blends for the flowers and the Shaded Spruce Blends for the leaves.
6. Run the cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and die-cut the image using the Gallery Blooms Dies from the Bundle.
7. Adhere just the bottom of the die-cut image to the top of the 2″ circle, then adhere the entire image to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish.
