Countryside Inn

 Hi everyone,

I attended a lunch several weeks ago. One of my ex work colleagues turned 60 during the prior week, so 6 of us went for lunch.  It was a lovely luncheon.  I met a new person.  I caught up with a woman who has also retired and moved out of Melbourne.  There were also others that I catch up with regularly.  We talked and laughed for several hours.  Someone looked at their watch and exclaimed ‘We need to leave, I have an appointment.’  So we all left.  Oh, we need to wait for another birthday to come around.   It was a lovely afternoon. 

I made this card for the birthday girl.  She is touring Italy and other countries in several months.  I also enclosed some Euros for her to spend. This card was created using Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper which can be found in the Annual Catalogue ©2024 Stampin‘ Up!® on page 109.  This card is called a book binder card.  It is something different.  It is the first time that I placed some designer series paper on the envelope.  First time might become a habit. 

The flowers and sentiment came from Sentimental Park Stamp Set that can be found on page 79.  The number are from a retired dies. 

Have you used Stampin Up products before. One of the reasons that I became a demonstrator/hobbyist was because I love the colour combos.  Stampin Up provides cardstock, ribbon, stamp pad, and matching designer series paper and sometimes matching glitz to enhance the cards.  If you are a bit pedantic with colour combinations Stampin Up is your friend. They certainly have my vote.  

The current Annual Catalogue is available on this blog.
