Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection

My Pleated Wedding Card - a wedding card with 3 layers — My Pleated Wedding Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Pleated Wedding Card using elements from the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I was asked by my team leaders to present two cards at a virtual play date. One was a simple card and then a stepped-up version. Last week I shared my simplified card and this week I’m sharing my stepped-up version.

The Details of My Pleated Wedding Card

For my stepped-up card, I decided to create a fun fold called a pleat creating a layered card that is sure to Wow! I have included my Pleated Card Template that you can download at the end of this post.

The Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection is perfect for wedding cards! So, I used the remaining piece of DSP from my simplified version to create this card. To step up on the front panel, I tucked behind my sentiment a Mossy Meadow spring of greenery and a Petal Pink floral element.

For the sentiment, I stamped it in Mossy Meadow on Very Vanilla card stock and then used a strip of DSP to mat it. I added a simple knot of the Petal Pink Scalloped Ribbon which I thought pulled the pink tones from the flowers and matched the Petal Pink card stock.

Next, for the middle panel, I used the Damask Designs Embossing Folder to emboss the Very Vanilla piece which added interest to it. Such a beautiful design!

For the back panel, I stamped the inside sentiment in Mossy Meadow and then used one of the decorative motif designs to add interest.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added a scattering of Pressed Flower Motifs with two on the front panel and one on the middle panel leading the eye into the card.

The Details of My Simple Wedding Card

We were asked to pick a theme for our cards, and I went with wedding since it is the season! Plus, we have a wedding coming up.

The Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection is perfect for wedding cards! I love the DSP and what better way to showcase it, then using it to cover the front of a simplified card! So, I used half a sheet of the floral DSP. Since it did not cover the whole inside flap, I used a panel of Mossy Meadow to hide the DSP edge on the inside to make it look finished.

For the front, I used the Damask Designs Embossing Folder to emboss the Very Vanilla piece which added interest to the front.

For the sentiment, I stamped it in Mossy Meadow on Very Vanilla card stock and then used the leftover strip of DSP to mat it. I added a simple knot of the Petal Pink Scalloped Ribbon which I thought pulled the pink tones from the flowers.

Since the Beautiful Motifs Dies includes two decorative motif designs that add interest, I decided to use one on the inside of my card.
