Stampin’ Up!’s Countryside Inn Suite, found on pages 62-63 in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, has several delightful elements that you can combine with others to create this sweet birthday card.

First, the Countryside Corners nested octagonal dies create the perfect background for the gorgeous Countryside Inn DSP by pulling the Boho Blue to create the mat. Then, the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder adds the right touch to the strip across the card to make our focal point sentiment stand out.

By using the Lasting Joy stamp set for our sentiment and flowers, we tie the whole card together. And jumping on the latest trend again, we add some leaves made with our Bough punch behind our focal point. All in all, this card is completely on trend!

This card was featured in my Zoom Card Class in July. To learn about all my class offerings, check out my class descriptions here and my calendar here. I hope to see you at a class sometime soon!
