Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Sneak Peek with Video Tutorial

Good Morning! One of the pretty Valentine bundles in the upcoming January – April 2023 Mini Catalog is the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet bundle. This bundle has a pretty two step photopolymer stamp set with a wonderful coordinating punch and I used it to make a Valentine during my Facebook Live yesterday afternoon. This bundle along with other items in the Country Floral Lane Suite will be available on January 5, 2023 when the January – April 2023 Mini Catalog goes live. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

You can watch my FB Live video on my Facebook page HERE. I also posted the video to my YouTube Channel and you can view it HERE.

I cut a panel of the new Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die and adhered it to a Sweet Sorbet mat with liquid glue. I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet punch to punch the two hearts and leaves from sheet of Country Floral Lane designer series paper. I punched another large heart from Basic White and adhere it to the back of the Sweet Sorbet heart punched from the DSP. I adhered the leaves to the bottom of the large heart and the small heart on top using glue dots.

I folded a length of Burlap stitched ribbon (available January 5) and adhered it to the stitched rectangle with glue dots. I drew a stem with my Mint Macaron Stampin’ Write marker and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I adhered it to the stitched rectangle and ribbon with liquid glue. I adhered the punched heart ‘flower’ on the stem with glue dots and dimensionals. I adhered the layered stitched rectangle to the front of a Crumb Cake card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink on a strip of Basic White and cut it out with the small long skinny stitched rectangle die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals and finished the card with Fine Sparkle gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the large heart from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the leaf in Mink Macaron and stamped the sentiment in Crumb Cake. I stamped the little heart in Petal Pink (don’t forget to clean off the Sweet Sorbet ink first) next to the sentiment and trimmed the bottom in Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

I love that the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet Punch cuts out some of the images in the Country Floral Lane DSP! And I love the asymmetric, casual design of the hearts. It’s very refreshing and fun! Here’s a picture of the bundle with my card and the two packs of DSP that are in the new Suite.

There are so many pretty sentiments in the bundle and I love the two step large floral heart image where you can stamp flowers in one color and stamp the leaves in another. The suite also has another bundle (which I didn’t get yet) with more flowers and Love themed layered word dies – I love word dies!! That’s next on my shopping list!!
