Fragrant Forest & Countryside Corners in a fun fold layout with video

I've been sharing my Fragrant Forest projects from last week's Live; this is the third one. I have a video below to watch plus free project sheets for each card too.  See this stamp set here.

I chose a simple color combo of White & Pretty Peacock. The designer paper on the upper flap is the Hello, Irresistible from our Online Exclusives line. 

The die-cuts are the Countryside Corners from the Annual catalog; seen here. Can you see the raised lines on the inside white? I used my Simply Scored 1/4" from each edge.

I couldn't decide if I like the clean look of the card on the lower right or the added forest on the lower left card. Which do you prefer?

Here's the inside view of the upper left card.  I used the Lasting Joy stamp set for my greeting and sentiments. I find I'm reaching for this one often. See it here.

You might wonder just how I achieved inking only the bottom half of this stamp on the inside of the left card above. Watch the video here. 

I cut my stamp apart!

Cutting your stamps can make them so much more versatile!  And they fit right back together on your block if you do want to use the entire stamp.  Try it!

• 3 new kits by Stampin’ Up! now available in the store

  April 17, 2025

  Stampin' Up! released 3 new kits in their substantial Kit Collection this month.  Two are cards and one is a beautiful bouquet of paper flowers.  

  Save

  You can find each of these kits and many more on this link.  Even though I am an experienced crafter I love working with kits.  It's a lovely break from thinking and planning.  But if I want to be creative I can still jazz up the kits.

  My favorite is the Paper Bouquet kit.  I ordered two – one for my daughter for Mother's Day.  What a perfect gift!

  Today I'm sharing the cards we made at my March card clubs.  I also shared it in last week's video.

  I featured the Thankful Garden bundle from our Online Exclusives.  This bundle includes a stamp set, coordinating dies and the set of 5 masks.  Click here to see it online.

  I shared quite a few helpful tips on using these masks in the video here.  Using them with our Blending Brushes truly makes you feel like an artist!  You get the multi-colored & layered effect so easily.

  The greetings here are from the Unbounded Love stamp set.  My colors include Fresh Freesia, Black, Lemon Lime Twist and Balmy Blue.  

  Can you notice the 4 differences between the cards below?  Which one is your favorite?
