Art Gallery Suite

 Hi, remember me?

It's been a while. This has been a crazy year. I retired, Covid-19 arrived and restrictions and lockdowns commenced. Not what I had planned for my retirement. Right now we are in another lockdown. So, I am making the best of it...making cards. I thought I'd get back at it. I made almost 200 Christmas cards. 90 of them went to a senior's residence where my MIL lives. So many of the residents do not have family visits on a normal basis never mind Covid. I thought it might bring a little cheer to them. 

I also made some appreciation cards which I handed out, secretly, to homes on my street who had exceptional Christmas light displays. I found this year people decorated their homes more than any other year. So, 10 homes got 'thank you for bringing cheer and joy this Christmas' cards. 

So, on to today's card. One of my favourite new stamp sets is Stampin' Up's Art Gallery Suite. The suite includes designer series paper, Fine Art Floral, 12 x 12 double sided sheets, the Art Gallery stamp set, the Floral Gallery dies. the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder, Fine Art ribbon, Gilded Leafing embellishment with Heat and Stick powder and Golden Garden Designer Specialty Paper. This set is so versatile. It can be used for birthday cards, sympathy cards, thinking of you cards....the list is endless.
