If you’ve ever looked at a card and thought, “That’s beautiful, but I’d never have the time to design it,” then this post is for you. In our latest live stream, we explored how to achieve a Detailed & Distinctive look without the design-room stress. By pairing the intricate (and currently discounted!) Gallery Blooms and Beautiful Motifs Dies with the stunning, scenic patterns of the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, the “art” is essentially done for you. Today, I’m sharing the replay along with the full card sketches and measurements for all three projects. You’ll see exactly how these boutique-style cards come together with simple layers and a little bit of dimension—proving that you don’t need to be a professional artist to create something truly gallery-worthy.
