Elegance in Every Sheet: Discover the Versatility of Beautiful Gallery

Posted in 3-D Projects, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today we’re going to discover the versatility and elegance the Beautiful Gallery Designer paper encompass. Whether you’re drawn to its moody landscapes or delicate floral sketches, this collection provides the perfect backdrop for projects that feel both classic and creatively fresh. I can’t wait to share these fun and creative ideas with you!

Step into an old-world art gallery with the exquisite Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper—a true masterpiece in papercrafting! This collection captures the charm of classic European galleries with its moody landscapes, delicate floral sketches, and richly textured backdrops. Whether you’re drawn to the soft, weathered brushstrokes or the deep, dramatic tones, this paper has something to stir the artist in every crafter.

With a versatile palette that includes Basic Beige, Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow, Secret Sea, and Peach Pie, alongside grounding neutrals like Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake, and Early Espresso, you’ll find endless ways to let your creativity flow. Add layers of elegance to a scrapbook page, create a card that feels like a canvas, or make tags that look like they belong in a museum gift shop. This paper is more than pretty—it’s expressive, eclectic, and beautifully bold.

Looking for a unique way to showcase the stunning patterns in the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper? Simply frame it! I selected two of my favorite designs and placed them in classic frames—instantly transforming them into elegant, gallery-style art pieces. Pair them with cherished family photos, like snapshots of grandparents or meaningful moments, and create a heartfelt collage on your wall. It’s a simple yet sophisticated way to bring both beauty and memory into your home décor.

Here’s another fun and unique way to display this beautiful paper—I used an open-faced frame to create a birthday card “stand”! How clever is that? It turns a handmade card “front” into a piece of framed art, perfect for someone to display on their desk at work or at home. It’s a thoughtful twist on traditional card-giving and a lovely way to let your creativity shine beyond the envelope.

One of my favorite ways to stretch the use of designer paper is by stamping directly onto it—and the Beautiful Gallery DSP is perfect for this! When I came across the stunning seascape design, I immediately pictured it with the lighthouse image from the Framed Scenes Stamp Set. With just a bit of simple coloring, the scene came to life! It’s amazing how easily you can transform patterned paper into a custom focal point. I used it to create a one-of-a-kind card that blends artistic texture with heartfelt stamping—truly the best of both worlds.

The Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper is truly a must-have for any crafter who loves to blend artistry with versatility. Whether you choose to frame it as stunning wall art, create unique card displays, or personalize it with your own stamped images, this collection offers endless possibilities to inspire your creativity. (Note: All frames were purchased at the $ $tore)

I hope these project ideas encourage you to explore the timeless beauty and flexible designs of Beautiful Gallery DSP in your own crafting. Happy creating!

Don’t forget, Stampin’ Friends — there’s still time to get in on my Tote-lly Awesome July Giveaway! With every $50 order (before shipping & tax), your name goes into the drawing to win this adorable Strawberry Slush Craft Tote—perfect for carrying your supplies in style.

Whether you’re making a bold floral focal point or crafting a soft vintage-inspired layout, this bundle offers creative possibilities for every style.

On this beautiful piece of Designer paper I teamed it up with the Framed Scenes stamp set and stamped the Lighthouse directly onto the paper and colored it. It’s so much fun to mix and match out bundles for even more creative opportunities.

    The first box was created with Shaded Spruce cardstock and the Tidings of Christmas Designer paper. The greeting comes from the Time of Giving Bundle and is stamped in Real Red … the box is embellished with the Red Rhinestones.

    I used the Layering Oval dies to create window on both of the boxes …

    The second box was created with Cajun Craze cardstock and the Pattern Party Designer Series paper from our exclusive Hostess Rewards. Greeting comes from the Time of Giving Bundle and is stamped with Cajun Craze!

    I embellished this box using the die cut leaves from the bundle and the stunning Beauty of the Earth Designer Series paper. They are even cuter close up.

    Halloween Hand Sanitizer Gift Box

    Posted in 3-D Projects, Gift Giving ideas, Halloween by

    Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

    I had a request to share my “Hand Sanitizer” Holder … I did not have time to re-create it, so I hope you don’t mind that I am sharing the original post.  It includes tips to make this cute Sanitizer Holder!!  Please not that the designer paper and stamp set are no longer available … however, the dies are!!

    Let’s begin with the outer wrap.  Start with an 11″ x 3″ piece of cardstock.  Score the cardstock at 4-7/8″ and 6-1/8″ … these measurements will ensure the insert sits nicely in the wrap.  Then punch both ends, this will be used to for your ribbon and to close the top.

    Attach a piece of 2-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ of designer paper… I used Monster Bash. We finished off the top edge of the designer paper by attaching a piece of ribbon over it and trimming off the edges.

    Stamp your greeting and cut out with a favorite die or punch.  I used the coordinating die from the Spooktacular Bash Bundle and pop it up with the new black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

    Set your outer wrap aside for now … it’s time to create your inner (inset) piece.  Cardstock should measure 4-1/2 x 2-7/8″ … score at 1″ – 2″ – 3″ and 4″.  Using the smallest of the scallop ovals, place it between the the two score lines closest to the 1/2″ flap. (See photo below).

    Once the whole is cut out, you will need to glue the 1/2″ flap to the opposite side to create a box.  The hole needs to be facing up … add glue to the bottom (opposite side with the hole) and set it into the outer wrap between the score lines.  Now you can tuck your Hand Sanitizer into the scallop oval hole.  The Bath & Body Works small hand sanitizers fit perfectly into the oval.

    This would make a cute teachers gift, thank you gifts, get well ? Any reason … flu season is coming and why not be prepared and be the cool mom on the block!  This is also a great way to use up some of that designer paper you’ve been hording … lol.

    Have some fun creating these cute Halloween gifts for your ghoul friends and then make some more for just for the fun of it … Christmas is coming too!

    Thanks so much for joining me today … Let me know if you liked this project, I’d love to hear what you think … just message below.

    I also have a supply list below to make your shopping easy, just click on any image for more information or to begin shopping with me.
