More Countryside Inn

 Don't you love the Countryside Inn papers from Stampin' Up?  Here is another card that I made using them.  

For this card, I used thick white cardstock for the base, added a panel of Night of Navy and then added the pretty designer paper to complete the background.  I used the Framed Florets die cuts for the oval and Stitched Shapes for the white focal point.  The saying is from Layering Leaves as well as the sprigs and the flowers are punched from Petal Park.

When I made the cards, I tried to use different sayings, all from Layering Leaves stamp set.  

Each one looks a little different, but I love the soft sweet look of these papers.  And yes, it does remind me of what the wallpaper might look like if I was staying at the "Countryside Inn."  

Layering Leaves Meets Countryside Inn

For this week's stamp class, I used the Countryside Inn designer papers for the base of my cards.  The blues in this paper are so pretty and the images are just plain fun!  

This first card is made using Layering Leaves stamp set.  The leaves coordinate with the Bough punch and make this card a quick-and-easy card to make!  

The Layering Leaves set has lots of nice sayings in it.  Here are some sample cards with a couple of the different sayings on them.

The cardstock colors for this card are Night of Navy and Boho Blue.  I got the idea for this card from Anne Marie Hile on Pinterest.  

 

Dear Friend

I'm calling my set of cards for this week's class, "Dear Friend."  I love the little deer from the Friends of the Forest stamp set and I even bought Eden's Garden stamp set for the "Dear Friend" saying to go along with it!

This first card uses Friends of the Forest and some papers from Friendly Hello, left over from the last Sale-a-Bration.  I have a LOT of stuff left over and need to use it up.  Ha ha!  

I love the soft colors on this card, the little whimsical images and the black accents.  What a sweet little set.  :)

I got the idea for this card from Kerri Timms on Pinterest.  

My next card is also a "Dear Friend" card.  All of the cards in today's selection are meant to be sent to a friend who may need some encouragement.  And don't we all need that at times?  This idea is from Stacey Marsh.  Crumb cake and Jade are the colors.  

For this card, I used a fusion of Friendly Hello and Friends of the Forest images.  I love the look of this especially with the little foxy fellow at the bottom of the card!  I copied this idea from Kerry Timms also.  

And lastly, I used the Friendly Hello but added a paper strip from the Friendly Hello papers.  I used jade, pool party and crumb cake for the colors.  The doily is a cut out called Encircled in Beauty.  Also from Kerry Timms.

What do you think?  Would you like to receive one of these "dear" cards from a friend?  Do you love the soft colors?
