It’s been a while since I used the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper in a card. This paper pack is in the current Annual Catalog and is not on the Last Chance List. As the name states, the Countryside Inn paper pack includes monochromatic blues that were inspired by fine china and wallpaper patterns. It includes gorgeous florals, woodland animals, nature, and ceramic designs. It’s a perfect “all occasion” paper pack.
So, let’s make a card!
Parts & Pieces
- The Night of Navy cardstock card base is 4 1/4″ x 11″, and scored at 5 1/2″ on the long side.
- I cut the patterned paper layer 4″ x 5 1/4″.
- The notebook edged layer is about 2 3/4″ x 4″.
- I die cut the zig-zag strips from the Excellent Eggs Dies. (They are retiring on April 30th, and are on the Last Chance List).
- The flowers are die cut using dies from the Hooray For Surprises Dies. (They’re in the current Mini Catalog and are also in the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog… “Hooray!!). I use them so much, I didn’t want to see them go.
- I stamped the sentiment from a stamp in the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set, and die cut it with the coordinating die.
- I added a little white pigment ink to the top of the layer with a sponge dauber.
- The embellishments are a few of the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots.
This is one of those card designs you can use with just about any supplies you have on hand. Pick a pretty patterned paper, find a few coordinating elements, add a large focal point layer, and a sweet sentiment, and create something special.
… the only limitation is your imagination!
Thanks for stopping by today,
