Countryside Inn for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #211

It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday!  I love these challenges! I didn’t have a lot of time to create this week so I picked 3 elements from this week’s board and went with one of my “go to” designs. This card came together in 5 minutes!

Countryside Inn Suite Collection (Item #161474)

I used products from the new Countryside Inn Suite Collection for my card. This suite has multiple floral patterns in the Designer Series Paper, the embossing folder, and the stamp set. All of the products are beautifully coordinated, allowing you to mix and match and create an array of beautiful florals. I love all the different shades of blue in the charming Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper.

Product colors: Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy

The Countryside Corners Bundle is so versatile! You can use the stamp set and dies to create card front layers, peek-through shapes, frames, and more! The shape of these dies is essential for any crafting session; they work beautifully for any style or occasion. They can easily be used with other products, and they pair great with sentiments and greetings. These dies easily add depth and texture to your cards to really make them pop! I used the dies to layer the DSP and coordinating cardstock on the front of my card. For the inside I stamped and cut out a border for the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set.

The Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder is the perfect way to add floral textures to your projects! You can use it on the base of your card or on other elements to add layers and texture.

I embossed the strip across the center of my card.

The sentiment is from Layering Leaves stamped in Night of Navy and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The punched butterfly from a scrap of DSP completes my Tic Tac Toe!

I love to decorate my envelopes to coordinate. I cut a strip of DSP 2 1/4 x 5 3/4 and adhered to the envelope flap. Then I used my Paper Trimmer to notch the ends to mimic the dies. It added that little finishing touch!

Customer Thank You Gifts & NEW Color Coach

I like to tuck a little something in with my customer thank you cards each month.This is a quick & easy project. It’s all about a fun presentation.
Stampin' Up! 2023-2025 In Colors Customer gift idea with Bough Punch and Beautiful Balloons Dies-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This gift packaging idea can be used for teacher gifts, hostess gifts, etc. I cut the patterned paper  4 1/4″ x 6″ and folded it in half to fit inside a Stampin’ Up! clear envelope. You could slip tea bags, a pack of gum, a large Peppermint Patty, gift card, etc. in between the DSP. Then simply fold the envelope flap over, peel, and adhere. I made a simple tag using the Beautiful Balloons Dies and tied some of the 2023 In Color twine with a punched leaf and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment is from the Sentimental Park stamp set.

A Special Fold Slimline Card for Andrew’s Birthday

My son’s birthday was a couple of weeks ago. We waited until he visited this weekend to celebrate a belated Easter and birthday together! I find it harder to buy for my son the older he gets! (I also find it hard to believe that I have a 35 year old son!!!! LOL) He lives in Rhode Island and even though our recent move made the drive easier and a bit closer; the tolls add up fast! So this year we decided to gift him with an E-ZPass (hoping he will come visit more often). I love to make my cards coordinate with the gift so I pulled out some retired Designer Series Paper (World of Good) for his card.
Stampin' Up! Happiest of Birthdays masculine slimline card with World Of Good Designer Series Paper - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love this simple layout for a masculine card! I created a slimline card with a pocket so I could fit the E-ZPass application inside. (You can do the application process online if you have the vehicle registration information but I wanted to enclose his “gift” inside the card.) *This slimline pocket card works great if you want to enclose a check, cash, or “coupon”  inside. (We sometimes make our own coupon gifts, “Good For….”.)  This card design makes it easy to change up the DSP for a feminine card, wedding card, etc.
Stampin' Up! Balloon Adventures slimline masculine card with inside pocket holder for cash or check - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The inside sentiment is from one of my favorite retired stamp sets, Balloon Adventures. It was the perfect choice to go with this “travel” gift set. I like to change it up and add a little more interest by stamping on DSP when possible. I cut it out with the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
Here’s the details to make this card:

PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:

  • Card Base – Basic Black: 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 3 1/2 and 7
  • Designer Series Paper – Front of Card: 3 1/4 x 5 1/8, cut 2 @ 3 x 1 5/8
  • Designer Series Paper – Inside card: 1/2 x 8 1/2 (pocket), 3 x 4 1/2 (sentiment)
  • Designer Series Paper – Envelope: cut 3 @ 1 x 3 1/2

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Fold and burnish card base. Staple inside pocket on ends. Cover staples with DSP strip.
  2. Stamp sentiment on DSP. Adhere the 3 DSP pieces to front of card. *I added a special touch using Black Matte Dots to the map DSP to show the travel route from state to state.
  3. Stamp sentiment on DSP, cut with Stitched Rectangle Die, adhere inside card.
  4. Adhere DSP strips to the front of the envelope.

Stampin' Up! Celebrating You Slimline envelope and Love You Always Treat Box - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I am so glad Stampin’ Up! has added slimline envelopes to the product line! The slimline envelopes come in packs of 15 (5 each of 3 colors: Soft Succulent, Smoky Slate, White). And the best part is you don’t have to pay extra postage to mail this size card!

We always packs treats when we take a road trip. I made my son’s favorite handmade treats, Chocolate Pretzel M&M’s. I know he will enjoy these on the drive back home.
