Country Floral Lane Barn Door Card


Before I get to making this card, I have a couple announcements. First is I am doing a Paper Share--you will receive 1/4 of each of the following Designer Series Papers from the new Jan-April Mini Catalog: By the Bay, Country Floral Lane, Country Gingham, Delicate Desert, Dry Brush Metallic, Enjoy the Journey, Fancy Flora, Like an Animal, Rain or Shine, Regency Park, Textured Shimmer as well as a bonus sample of Flowers & More Host DSP for free. This is all for $40 for porch pick-up or $49 to have it mailed to you. Email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com if you are interested.

I also want to announce that I am selling Mystery Boxes of retired Stampin' Up product. These are a medium sized USPS Priority Mail box and they will be stuffed with product. Each box will include a minimum of 10 Stampin' Up stamps and at least 2 of them will be a bundle with either a die set or a punch. They will all have at least one retired embossing folder as well as embellishments and ribbon. You won't know what you are getting, so if you like surprises and getting over $250 worth of products for only $50 (plus $20 for shipping), please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. Someone who just received one of these boxes emailed me: "Thank you so much, got the box a day early. Loved it".

Now on to making this card. Everything I used on this barn door card came from the Country Floral Lane Suite on pages 8-10 in the upcoming Jan-April Mini Catalog. Please let me know if you aren't working with a demonstrator already, and I can send you a catalog. This suite is perfect for Valentine's Day, but also for birthday, just telling people how much you care, or lots of other reasons. And it comes with 2 different DSP paper--check out my Facebook Live below to see all the paper. 

Let's make this card! Gather your supplies:
1. Sweet Sorbet cardstock--Card base 4 1/4 by 11" scored at 5 1/2" and folded along the score line. 
2. Country Floral Land DSP-- 2 1/2 by 5 1/4" and punch out the hearts/leaves from another piece
3. Mossy Meadow cardstock--die cut the second largest scalloped Layering Circle
4. Basic White cardstock--4 by 5 1/4" for the inside and die cut the second largest Stylish Shapes circle
5. Stamp Set--Country Bouquet (#160377 or #160382 for the bundle)
6. Dies--Stylish Shapes (#159183) and Layering Circles (#151770)
7. Punch--Country Bouquet (#160382  or #160382 for the bundle)
8. Ink--Mossy Meadow, Sweet Sorbet (you may need Mint Macaron also)
9. Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins (#160387)
10. Iridescent Pastel Gems (#160429)
11. Basic supplies--bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue),  Regular and Mini Dimensionals, Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, Paper Trimmer

Let's start by folding your card base in half along the score line, then open it up and cut the top 1 1/2" off the top front. Using your Paper Trimmer cut down 1 1/2" along the score line, then cut in 1 1/2" and all the way to the score line--watch the video below if you don't understand these directions. 

Now take the inside Basic White piece and lay it in place (DO NOT glue it in yet) and close the front flap. In Sweet Sorbet, stamp the "Just wanted to say.." sentiment just above the front flap. 

Open the front and stamp "Happy Valentine's Day" so that it is below the flap (so you can't see it when closed) like this. Now attach the Basic White piece to the inside of the card.


Now let's make the circle part. Using the Country Bouquet punch, punch out the hearts and flowers from the Country Floral Lane DSP. Some of the sets on the paper have Mint Macaron leaves, as below, and some have Mossy Meadow leaves (like in my video below). Use the opposite color ink to stamp a second set of leaves about 1/3 the way down the circle. When using the Mossy Meadow ink, I stamped it off before stamping on the circle. Stamp 3 of the twigs, some full strength and some stamped off. Attach the punched leaves using glue and the big heart using Dimensionals. Put a Mini Dimensional under the left side of the small heart and a dot of glue on the right side of the small heart and attach like below. 



Attach the Basic White circle to the Mossy Meadow scalloped circle then attach that to the card by putting Dimensionals on just the bottom half of the circles. Place a large and small pink Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequin on the top left of the Basic White cardstock and you are done. 



Here is my Facebook Live from 12/26/22 where I make this card and show you some tips to help with the cardmaking. Join me every Monday at 1 pm PST for some cardmaking fun over on Stamp with Dr Robin on Facebook. Or follow me on YouTube with the same name.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
