Make this pretty card using the Art Gallery Bundle. The flowers from this set are modern with a watercolor look–I love them! It was my first card created with the yearning for spring, which hit me at the beginning of February. I made it into a Thinking of You card, because then I can use it for almost any occasion I need. It would make a nice birthday card with a birthday sentiment inside. I also love this easy layout –it’s a layout that shows off the bordered layer look and has clean lines with lots of contrasting color.
This card is my go-to layout because it is easy to layer papers and get such a clean look with multiple colors. First layer the inside of the card, then on the flap and then the squares. Once the squares have been layered, then I stamped the floral image in Mossy Meadow and die cut. I then stamped another floral image in Flirty Flamingo and then stamped the small flower over the flowers in Poppy Parade. After die cutting this floral, I layered it on top of the Mossy Meadow image with dimensionals and layered on the front of the square. Then I adhered the top part of the square to the card front. The sentiment was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and die cut with the label from the die set. Lastly, the bow was added to finish the card.

On the fine art gallery card. Is the base or flirty flamingo suppose to be 4 1/4 x 8 ?
Hi Julie! Thanks for the catch. The base should be 4.25″ (not 4″) x 7.5″. I have updated the post. When scored at 5.5″, the top flap of the card would be 2.25″. This would make the DSP that get’s laid on top of the flap, 1/4″ smaller than the flap for even spacing all the way around. You can always make the flap 2.5″ and adjust the DSP accordingly. This design is very flexible :-).
Love the art gallery card! Thanks for including the measurements. Is there a name for the fold you used?
Hi Terry. I appreciate your comment—thank you. I’m not aware of an official name for this fold—If I had to give it a name, I would call it a Flap card with square center??????
Thank you!
