Hi Stampers,
Today we will take a “In Detail” look at the COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS BUNDLE. This bundle includes the COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS STAMP & the COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS DIES. This bundle is part of the COUNTRYSIDE INN SUITE? The suite features this bundle as well as COUNTRYSIDE INN DSP and the COUNTRYSIDE BLOOMS EMBOSSING FOLDER. You can view these items on pages 62-63 of the STAMPIN’ UP!®️ 2023-2024 ANNUAL CATALOG or in my online store HERE.
Below are a few cards I created using the COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS BUNDLE:
COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS STAMP SET
STAMPED IMAGE
Don’t let the fact this is only one stamp fool you! It is great on its own, but paired with the dies, this is one versatile stamp!
COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS DIES
COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS DIE CUTS
(POSITIVES)
COUNTRYSIDE CORNER DIE CUTS
(NEGATIVES - FRAMES)
The dies can create background pieces, layers, labels, frames, and more! Layering die sets are always a great value as they allow for so many creative possibilities!
STAMPED AND DIE CUT IMAGES
Stamp once, line up the dies on the image, and die cut once to get 7 images to use on one card or several cards!
COUNTRYSIDE INN DSP
(12 DOUBLE SIDED SHEETS; 2 OF EACH DESIGN; 12” X 12”)
(COLORS: BALMY BLUE, BOHO BLUE, MISTY MOONLIGHT, & NIGHT IF NAVY)

IN DETAIL
When I saw the COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS DIES my first thought was “shaped cards!” I felt the large die would be just perfect for creating an easy-peasy shaped card, and it is! Below are my two sample cards. The cards fit inside the Stampin’ Up! medium envelopes (A-2 size), the Stampin’ Up! note card envelopes (measure about 5 3/16” x 3 1/8”), or a regular letter envelope (# 6 3/4; measures 3 5/8” x 6 1/2”).
COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS SHAPED CARD BASE
For my card bases I used a regular A-2 card base cut at 8 1/2” x 5 1/5” scored and folded at 4 1/4” along the 8 1/2” side. Using the largest of the dies, line up one of the long sides along the fold of the card base. Make sure the cutting edge of the die lines up along the outside of the fold of the card base. Run this through your die cut machine. My Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine cut through both layers of cardstock with one pass through. Because calibration of die cut machines can vary, you might need to run the card base through and back to get a cut through the two layers of cardstock.
If you wish to cover the entire card front with DSP as I did for my cards use the same process. I used a 3 1/2” x 6” piece of DSP, lined the long end of the die along the edge of the 6”side of the DSP, making sure the cutting edge was on the outside of the DSP. This process ensured the die cut piece would fit perfectly on the front of the card base.

I used four of the flower images (one is inside the card). The flowers are stamped in Night of Navy with Boho Blue centers. I stamped and die cut 6 leaves in Night of Navy (2 are on the inside of the card). I die cut two of the “greenery” pieces (skinny leaves).
SHAPED BIRTHDAY CARD 2

NOTES - I placed a glue dot on the back side of each end of the ribbon and folded it back. This solved the problem of fraying. Next I placed 4-5 glue dots under the sailboat, and attached each end, then sort of gathered the ribbon and pushed it down into the glue dots.
OTHER OPTIONS
* If you do not have blue ribbon you can use Stampin’ Blends markers and color white ribbon.
* Do you sew? Do you have any blue rick-rack? The rick-rack would look great!

Adhere the frame to the card base with adhesive. Adhere the center portion of the card base with dimensionals.

Randomly stamp the “Happy Birthday” from the same set on the remaining panel. Adhere the three panels to one another, and wrap the baker’s twine around them, secure twine with adhesive or cellophane tape. Slip remaining piece of twine under wrapped twine and tie a bow.
