Country Floral Lane

Country Floral Lane designer series paper was a featured Valentine’s Day paper in our Mini Catalog. I love the paper and the cards I created for my family. Now that Valentine’s Day is long gone, what do you do with the paper? Turn it over to the back side. The paper has generic patterns you can use for birthdays, thinking of you, thanks, and friends cards. In fact, I love the Country Floral Lane DSP so much, I bought more!

Here are just a few of the cards I made with the Country Floral Lane designer series paper. On this first card, I used the snail from the retired “Snailed It” stamp set. I love them and use them on my “snail mail” card envelopes. I used the Stylish Shapes to die cut the greeting tag.

These next two cards use the same layout, but different patterns. The Country Floral Lane DSP has some of my favorite colors – Balmy Blue and Mint Macaron. Both patterns have hearts, so they make great anniversaries, weddings, birthday, and friend cards. I added detail by popping up the cut out hearts from the DSP. The tags, die cut with the Deckled Rectangles, are another love of mine!

Another really fun card, especially for those active friends and family, is a bicycle! With a number of different colored bicycles going in both directions, you have lots of choices. And the border of flowers and hearts makes an interesting bike pathway. I fussy cut the bicycle out from the DSP, but used the Country Bouquet punch to cut out the heart.

I made these last two cards as Valentine’s Day cards. But I’m remaking them into birthday cards by changing my greeting tag. They both use the Layering Circles dies (retiring May 2, so get them soon!)- a must-have in my craft room!

Be sure to check out the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper and accessories before they retires on May 2. The Country Bouquet bundle is going away, but the Country Bouquet stamp set and Country Bouquet punch are in the new 2023 Annual Catalog. If you want them, order the bundle before May 2 and save 10%.
