Beautiful Gallery Thank You Card. We Fall in Colours March 2026

 Good Afternoon Everyone,

Today I'm hopping with the fabulous We Fall In Colours ladies. Each month we have a three colour combination to create with and this month we had to use Pool Party, Crumb Cake and Shy Shamrock.

Now, even though I have lots and lots of Bundles - I was drawn back to an old faithful Suite - Beautiful Gallery. This Suite is amazing and I honestly find it hard to put it down - I may have to go on a temporary ban so that something else gets a chance to be inked up!

But seriously - I thought the foliage die cuts would be perfect in these colours - and I was right, Loving how this turned out.

what do you think?





Measurements

Crumb Cake Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

1pc - 1 1/2" x 5" 

2pc - scrap

Shy Shamrock Card Stock

1pc - 1 1/2" x 5"

1pc - scrap

Pool Party Card Stock

1pc - 1 1/2" x 5"

1pc - scrap

Very Vanilla Card Stock

1pc - 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

-----------------------------------

Take the larger piece of Crumb Cake and fold along the score line to create your card base. Add some ink to the edges of the card front. Take the open ink pad and gently tap it along the sides - this gives a more controlled line of ink.

Do the same inking technique around the Very Vanilla card stock and place this on the inside of the card.

Ink up the the detailed stamp in Shy Shamrock ink and cover the 1 1/2" x 5" piece of Shy Shamrock Card Stock. Clean off the stamp and then repeat with both the Crumb Cake and Pool Party card stock with the respective colours.

Arrange these onto the card front a little off set and wonky - filling the space.

Bring in your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out the large leaf die in both Pool Party and Shy Shamrock and the other in Crumb Cake.

Add a little in to each of the leaf die cuts. I gently and very roughly tapped a little ink directly from the ink pad onto the Shy Shamrock and Pool Party Pieces, but I wanted Heavier coverage on the crumb cake on so I popped it on a piece of scrap paper and then light patted my ink pad over the whole of the die cut.

Arrange these die cuts onto the card front - I put crumb cake over crumb cake, but did opposites for the other two colours.

Cut out a 2 3/8" and a 2" circle from Crumb Cake Card stock. Stamp the sentiment into the centre of the smaller circle in Shy Shamrock ink. Repeat the heavier inking method to get a darker version of the 2 3/8" circle.

Layer the two circle and then add to the card front to the base of all the die cuts.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - I really loved playing around with this colour combination.
