Beautiful Gallery Suite Easel Card Tutorial

Embossing & Blending Techniques

If you love card making, paper crafting, and floral stamp sets, today’s project is for you. In this tutorial, I’m revisiting the Beautiful Gallery Suite to create an elegant easel card using white heat embossing, Stampin’ Blends colouring, and layered die cuts.

This suite may have been around for a while, but the floral designs and coordinating elements make it timeless for handmade cards.

What Is the Beautiful Gallery Suite?

The Beautiful Gallery Suite includes coordinating products perfect for handmade card making:

Floral stamp sets (Gallery Blooms & Beautiful Motifs)
Matching dies
Scenic and floral patterned papers 6 x6″ Beautiful Gallery
Embellishments and ribbons

It’s ideal for creating floral greeting cards, birthday cards, and dimensional card designs.

Step 1: White Heat Embossing for Crisp Floral Images

To begin, stamp a floral image and apply white heat embossing powder.

White embossing:

Creates clean, raised outlines
Helps keep colour inside the lines when using alcohol markers
Adds a professional finish to handmade cards

Tip: Heat from underneath first for smoother melting and less powder movement.

Step 2: Colouring with Stampin’ Blends

Next, colour the embossed floral image using Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.

Colour combination used:

Granny Apple Green for leaves
Bubble Bath for petals
Blackberry Bliss for shading
Lemon Lolly for flower centres

I start with darker tones and blend out with lighter shades to create depth. Once dry, gently wipe over the embossed lines with a microfiber cloth to restore the crisp white finish.

Step 3: Ink Blending & Background Stamping

To create a soft background panel:

Blend Coastal Cabana ink onto cardstock.
Add texture using Smoky Slate stamping (second-generation stamping for a softer look).
Layer in die-cut foliage for dimension.

This creates a balanced base that highlights the focal floral image.

Step 4: How to Make an Easel Card

An easel card is a simple but impressive fancy fold that stands upright for display.

Card structure:

White card base (5″ x 4″)
Folded front panel to form the easel
Patterned paper layers for visual interest
A raised floral piece inside to act as the “stopper”

Finish the front with:

Sparkle embellishments

Dimensionals for lift
