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.
Stampin' Up! Countryside Blossoms and Layering Leaves celebration card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
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!

Cheerful Daisies, Layering Leaves, and More…A Showcase of 3×3 Cards

I really enjoy making cards to coordinate with gifts. If I can make a homemade gift as well, I consider that a Win! Win! I love to walk the beach and comb for shells and sea glass so I started creating some gifts from the sea. I’ve shared some of the trinket dishes I’ve made previously. I decided to create cards to coordinate.  One of my favorite cards uses the new Cheerful Daisies Bundle and the Layering Leaves Stamp set with the coordinating Bough Punch.
Cheerful Daisies 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I was so happy with how these turned out I was inspired to create more! I have a lot of different shells so I went through my current and retired stamp sets, designer series papers, embellishments, paper pumpkin kits, etc. I was on a mission to see what I could create using what I had.  I used 12 x 12 Basic White cardstock to create the 3×3 cards. You can get 8 cards from a sheet of cardstock. Here are some of the cards I made.
Stampin' Up! Pansy Patch 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I think pansies are such pretty flowers and I love that they come in so many different colors. I used the dies and retired DSP to create this card (a CASE from the catalog); however, you can easily stamp your own card using the Pansy Patch stamp set and Pansy Dies which are still available. This card would be so pretty to give with a pot of pansies!
Heron Habitat 3x3 note card-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love heron and didn’t get to share all the projects I wanted to before the Heron Habitat Bundle sold out and retired! This set will stay in my collection. I used the blending brushes to create a subtle background before stamping the images.  The heron is colored with watercolor pencils and a blender pen then cut out with the coordinating die.
Stampin' Up! Timeless Tulips 3x3 note care idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card was quick & easy using the Timeless Tulips stamp set.
Stampin' Up! Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper note card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers! I used the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper to create this card and matching envelope.
Stampin' Up! Painted Harvest and Leaf Punch 3x3 Card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The retired Painted Harvest Stamp set and Leaf Punch was used to create this sunflower card. I was able to match the green leaves using the recently retired Soft Succulent cardstock and Evening Evergreen ink (from the 2021-2023 In Colors).
Stampin' Up! Sailing Home Stamp set and dies 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
If there’s a stamp set, die, or embossing folder that has anything to do with the ocean, I probably own it! LOL  This card was created using the Sailing Home Stamp set and dies. I love to go sailing and could spend my days on the water! These would be great for masculine gifts too!
Stampin' Up! Seashells 3D Embossing Folder 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The Seashells 3D Embossing Folder is one of my favorites of all time!  I love the detail and texture it provides!
Stampin' Up! Seaside Notions and By the Bay Designer Series Paper 3x3 card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The seahorse is from the Seaside Notions stamp set (retired long ago). I colored the seahorse using my new Wild Wheat Stampin’ Blends…couldn’t match any better! The large shell (and starfish soap) are from my guest bath!
Stampin' Up! June 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit, A Little Smile, alternative idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Paper Pumpkin to the rescue for this card! The June 2019, A Little Smile, kit was one of my favorites.

These cards just make me smile! I love that I was able to use supplies I already had! I bet if you go through your stash you can do the same!

3×3 Cards are great to tuck inside a gift, leave for the waitress in a restaurant/ housekeeper in the hotel, give to the person handing you your coffee in the drive thru or give to the UPS driver who may or may not make deliveries to your home every day. (LOL) I’m sure you can think of many people to share a little handmade kindness with a note card!

Are you wondering what I’m going to do with all these shells and cards? I was asked to participate in our local Farmer’s Market that will open later this month. I thought this would be a great opportunity to meet more people and promote my Stampin’ Up! business. I intend to gift the cards with the purchase of the shells. I will tuck the coordinating card as well as my Stampin’ Up! business card in the box. I love to shop the Clearance Rack and I stocked up on Stampin’ Up! boxes and other packaging items when they went on sale! These boxes make gift giving so easy!
Stampin' Up! Mini Pizza Boxes, Clear Acetate boxes, and Scalloped Treat Boxes make gift giving easy-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
oyster wine stopper in Stampin' Up! Tag A Bag Gift Boxes-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The shells and cards fit in either the Mini Pizza Boxes or Scalloped Kraft Treat Boxes. My oyster wine stoppers fit in the Tag A Bag Gift Boxes and a set of two napkin rings fit in the clear acetate boxes.  I created the napkin rings to use in my home.

I also make shells for holiday table favors.
