Country Bouquet Floral Heart Card

Today I am featuring another card using products from the Country Floral Lane Product Suite.  This product suite is one of my favorites in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. The Country Floral Bouquet Stamp Set is perfect to use for a variety of occasions.  The large heart in the set uses the two-step stamping technique making it easy to stamp and create the Country Bouquet floral heart card.  After stamping the floral heart, the Layering Circles Dies were used to create the focal point.   The Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper was used as the background layer and provides the inspiration for the color scheme.

Box Making with Favored Flowers

Earlier this week, the Playtime with Paper team had our quarterly Stampin’ Up! meeting. The meetings are lots of fun and include learning new techniques or projects. Box making using the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper was one of the technique projects from this week’s meeting. The Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper is a Sale-a-Bration brochure product and can be selected for FREE with a $50 Stampin’ Up! purchase. The designer series paper is gorgeous and coordinates with the Fragrant Flowers Bundle in the Jan-Apr Mini Catalog. Even better, some of the Fragrant Flowers Dies coordinate with the paper so no fussy cutting!

If you want to save on your paper crafting products and become a member of my Playtime with Paper team, now is a great time to join Stampin’ Up! Contact me for more details on becoming an independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. Or check out the Sale-a-bration promotion video below for information on the exclusive deals being offered through February 28th. I would love to have you join my Playtime with Paper team!

NOTE: Since the Basic Black Cardstock is no longer available in a 12″ x 12″ size,  I recommend substituting with colors from the 2021-2023 In Color 12″ x 12″ pack (either the Fresh Freesia or Evening Evergreen) or Regals 12″ x 12″ Cardstock (Old Olive).
