Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Kimberly Gora

Have you ever created a card that looks like a Polaroid snapshot?

It's such a fun and unique way to frame this beautiful Designer paper. Today I used Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper, and it IS Gallery worthy paper!

I just made a simple frame, with a large border at the bottom. Inside the frame I layered a piece of designer paper. The colors and patterns in this DSP are stunning and gave my card the perfect soft, artistic backdrop.

To finish it off, I stamped a simple sentiment at the bottom of the frame. It's a great way to keep your design clean while still delivering a heartfelt message.

Give the Polaroid card a try! I think you'll love how easy and elegant it is to create.

If you're looking for a go-to card layout that's quick to recreate and still make a big impact, today's project is for you!

Gallery Blooms stamp set, along with a clean and simple card sketch is perfect for any occasion. I finished it off with the sweet sentiment "I appreciate you."

This card started with a classic sketch design: a central panel layered over a background, then added the Beautiful Gallery Designer paper. I then stamped a few flowers, but check out the video to see how I colored them!! https://youtu.be/xkctVgkU_H4

These blooms add just the right amount of charm, and the glimmer on them will draw your eye across the card.

What I love most, is how easy it is to duplicate. Change the paper, swap colors, try a different sentiment. This sketch will become a staple in your crafting routine. Give it a try, and don't forget the floral touches and technique I used. They really do bring the card to life!

Elegant Sympathy card featuring Gallery Blooms on Designer paper.

Today I'm sharing a heartfelt card created with Gallery Blooms Bundle set, and Beautiful Gallery Designer paper. A beautiful way to express sympathy with warmth, elegance and grace.

For this project I chose dark brown and tan designer paper, as a canvas, allowing the stamped florals to blend seamlessly into a rich, earthy background.

Stamping directly on patterned paper gives a soft, layered effect.

The focal point showcases the bold yet delicate blooms.

If you've never tried stamping directly on designer paper, this is a great technique to explore. It adds depth and texture without needing extra layers. I hope this card inspires you to use designer paper in creative ways.
