We're less than 10 days away from the launch of the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog, and here's another card exploring ways to use the Country Woods Suite.  Papers from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper pack create a rustic back drop to the images and florals from the Country Flowers Stamp Set.  If you have received your copy of the new Stampin' Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, check out the entire Country Woods Suite Collection on pages 49-51 for more gorgeous samples using this Suite.  Today's card uses several images from the Country Flowers Stamp Set and coordinating Country Flowers Dies, plus a dry embossed background using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder.  The color theme is Petal Pink, Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Misty Moonlight, Lost Lagoon, and Pretty Peacock.   The sentiment are from the So Serene Stamp set.  The woodgrains in Country Woods Designer Series Papers are cut apart to create a layered back ground, and the images and sentiment are stamped and layered onto rectangle die cuts. The small, detailed Petal Pink flowers, and Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock leaves were created from dies included in the Country Flowers Dies.  Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots are added as accents.    You can purchase the Country Flowers Stamp Set and Dies as a bundle at a 10% savings over purchasing them separately beginning 1 May 2024.  Country Flowers Bundle, Item #1634117 | $59.00 $53.00.

The basecard is thick Basic White Cardstock, then a layer of Petal Pink Cardstock.  The next layer of Basic White is dry embossed using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder from the Country Woods Suite Collection.  Then one of the wood grained, multi-colored prints from the Country Woods 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper was cut apart and layered on top of the dry embossed layer, creating a rustic background for the image layer and sentiment layer.  The left side of the Designer Series paper was ripped.

Then, a Basic White Cardstock stitched rectangle was die cut using the Stitched Rectangles Die, which is retired, but still a set of dies I use regularly.  Then the images from  the Country Flowers Stamp Set were stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  After die cutting with the Country Flowers Dies, the milk can and flowers were colored with Smoky Slate, Petal Pink and Pool Party Blends before adding them to the Stitched Rectangle.    The smaller flowers and leaves cut from Petal Pink, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock Cardstock, were die cut with additional dies from the Country Flower Dies.

    To finish the card, I selected sentiments from the So Serene Stamp set, and stamped them in tuxedo Black Memento ink onto Basic White Cardstock.  Then the sentiments were die cut using one of the stitched rectangles from timeless Arrangement Dies. Finally, a couple of Petal Pink Dots from the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots embellishment pack were added as accents.
