Good Morning! Today I have another sneak peek of the pretty Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet bundle from the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog that will be available on January 5, 2023. This sweet bundle is part of the Country Floral Lane suite and has so many wonderful Valentine’s Day and Love themed images, sentiments and embellishments. My card today is a Valentine’s Day card for a friend. You can find the currently available supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a Sweet Sorbet heart designed panel of Country Floral Lane designer series paper to a Basic White mat and adhered it to the front of a Sweet Sorbet card base with dimensionals. I stamped the large hearts and flowers stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet photopolymer stamp set in Sweet Sorbet ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the coordinating leaves stamp in Soft Succulent on top of the flowers and hearts. I found that this was easy to line up. I fussy cut the heart with my paper snips and adhered it to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the striped heart in Sweet Sorbet on Basic White and cut it out with the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet punch. I adhered it to the large heart with glue dots. I stamped two of the small solid hearts in Sweet Sorbet ink on Basic White, punched them out and adhered them to the card with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet on a Basic White strip. I trimmed the end with my paper snips and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. I made a double bow with Sweet Sorbet baker’s twine and adhered it with a glue dot and finished the card with lots of iridescent gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet stamp set in Sweet Sorbet on a Basic White panel. I stamped the double solid mini hearts in Sweet Sorbet next to the sentiment and the little sprig in Soft Succulent under the hears. I trimmed the side of the panel with a strip of Country Floral Lane DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Hearts and flowers say Valentine’s Day and I love the ones in the Stampin’ Up! Country Bouquet bundle! Here is my card with the bundle and the Country Floral Lane DSP. I love that the punch cuts out so many of the stamps and the DSP too!

Here are the pretty designs in the Country Floral Lane designer series paper pack:

All these pretty items will be available on January 5, 2023, just in time to get ready for Valentine’s Day!
