Ready to wow someone special with a handmade card that looks intricate but comes together in a flash? This screen-style card features Stampin’ Up!’s Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper paired with richly layered panels in Secret Sea (a NEW 2025-2027 In Color) and Lost Lagoon. A bold sentiment and a couple of shiny enamel dots finish it off with flair. Perfect for birthdays, thank-yous, or just because!
WHAT I LOVE! The Beautiful Gallery DSP (available May 6) adds a timeless, vintage touch with florals and scrollwork that pop against dark cardstock. A trio of panels gives the card dimension and movement—while remaining quick and easy to assemble.
