See how I created a variation of beautiful cards using the Beautiful Gallery designer paper! I made four unique cards using just two of the same designer paper sheets. (Two-Sheet Wonder) For this design, I used the die frame from Gallery Blooms. The paper is so stunning, it does most of the work for you—minimal effort, maximum impact!
I’m sharing the how-to video below, recorded during one of my live broadcasts. In this session, I showcased three different designer paper prints, all using the same basic card layout.
The twist? The measurements of the Designer Series Paper (DSP) aren’t exact—they’re what I like to call ‘winging it.’ I base the cut on the position of the main design elements—like the cabin, the trees, the boat, and so on.
You’ll find all three paper styles showcased, with four cards in total, each featuring a different print but following the same layout formula. Scroll down to see all the samples!”
How to Create the Two-Sheet Wonder using Beautiful Gallery Paper
The video shows how I “wing it” when cutting the designer paper to create four amazing cards with the beautiful gallery paper.

Cabin Print from the Beautiful Gallery Paper
The cabinet print has the focal point at the top, while the one with the boat is at the bottom. This is why I say when cutting the paper, it needs to be “wing it”.
Blue Village Print
I name this print the Blue Village, although it reminds me of Niagara Falls.
The extended script greeting is from the Blooming Phrases stamp set. It’s perfect for adding sentiments in smaller spaces, and what makes it unique is how the script can double as the stem of a flower. It’s such a clever and elegant way to blend words into your design!
