Countryside Corners Lasting Joy Card

Countryside Inn Mega Class, Part I, Card 2

Countryside Corners Lasting Joy Card

The Countryside Corners Lasting Joy Card is the second card for your Weekly Card Class From ME. This class is a Mega Class, featuring the Countryside Corners Bundle and the Countryside Inn Suite. What does that mean?

Get ready for twice the fun and inspiration! This class will last for 2 weeks. There will be more cards and ideas, all centered around one gorgeous suite. Need a few more details? Click here.

Countryside Corners Bundle

While I am using the Countryside Corners Stamp Set and the Countryside Corners Dies for this class, I am also doing something I have never done before!

For this class, I am stamping my image just once with Night of Navy Ink on White Cardstock. Then, I am using the dies to cut away different stamped sections for each of my 3 cards for this entire class!

This saves on repeated stamping and use of cardstock. It also gives me great variations of this stamp’s imagery to play with. Want to see which part of this stamped image on used on my first card from this class? Click here.

Lasting Joy Stamp Set

You may have noticed that the Countryside Corners Stamp Set is only imagery, without any sentiments! And because I like to add words to most of my cards, I had to pick another stamp set to play with during my Mega Class.

The Lasting Joy Stamp Set is a great choice. There are a lot of different sentiments to choose from. These sentiments also come in a variety of sizes, which is very helpful. I also love that there are a few flower and leaf images as well. I took advantage of them on this Countryside Corners Lasting Joy Card.

Color Swap Card!

Each week, I explore a color change-up with one of my featured cards. This week, the Lasting Joy Card got a makeover. I swapped in the colors Melon Mambo and Bubble Bath, and changed the designer paper pattern. Which card do you prefer?

Country Bouquet Bonus Cards

All week long I have been playing and stamping with the Country Bouquet Bundle! My Card Class From ME featured 3 great cards, and each one was showcased in its own post. If you missed them, check out one here.

But along with the cards that made up my to-go from Maine kits, I also created bonus cards.What are bonus cards? Just additional ideas to inspire you to fall in love with the Country Bouquet Bundle!

I Love That We Are Friends

Card in purple with Country Bouquet Bundle.

My first bonus card fell heavy on the purple side…a good color for a friend card. (I have a lot of friends who just love purple!) This card features the Split Card Textures Dies from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. It was my first die cutting with the set, and it will not be my last!

I also chose to showcase some purple toned designer series paper on this card. In fact, it it FREE paper, The Favored Flowers 12 x 12″ DSP, a Sale-A-Bration pick when you spend $50 before tax and shipping. This gorgeous paper was also used in my next card….

With Love Purple Flower Card

Color swap card in purple with the Country Bouquet Bundle.

If this card looks slightly familiar, you may notice that it is identical in design to one of my original Card Class From ME cards. I love to attempt a color swap! You can see the first version (done in Evening Evergreen and gold embossing) by clicking here.

For both of my With Love cards, I did some heat embossing and used my favorite stamp from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set, the open heart outline. And of course, the beautiful designer series paper comes from the Favored Flowers FREE pack, only available with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration (ask me for more details!).

Rainbow of Hearts Slimline Card

Rainbow hearts slimline card with the Country Bouquet Bundle.

Not going to lie, this card is my favorite of all the cards I have made to date with the Country Bouquet Bundle. This one was very easy to make, too! I did a lot of punching with the Country Bouquet Punch, some cardstock and dsp.

What really elevates this gorgeous card is the stark white background topped with hearts that have been deepened with like color ink on the outer edges. I used Sponge Daubers and coordinating ink to create this fantastic look.

Polished Pink For You Card

Polished Pink easy card with the Country Bouquet Bundle.

My last bonus Country Bouquet card is extremely simple to make. Simple rectangle layers provide a backdrop for punched pieces. This designer series paper is from the 2021-2023 6 x 6″ Collection (currently on clearance!!).

The Decorative Circle Punch is quickly becoming my favorite go-to punch on cards. And after I did a quick how-to video explaining tips on using the Country Bouquet Punch, I had the hearts and flowers to use on my card. Check out my video here.
