Countryside Inn Fun Fold I have really enjoyed playing with the Countryside Inn Suite (found on page 62-63 in the 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up Catalog), so much so that I have an upcoming class featuring this suite of products. This is one of the cards we will make on June 11th and if you want to take this class at home, please email me: stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. This suite consists of a large stamp and a set of dies that can be used with the stamp, but will also be great on its own for so many uses. As the Countryside Corners bundle has no sentiments, I also used the Lasting Joy stamp set found on page 64. I bought it for the sentiments, then noticed not only do they fit in the Countryside Corners stamp, but the flowers in Lasting Joy actually match those in the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper--who knew? I learned this fun fold from watching Ronda Wade at Creating Success with Ronda Wade. Let's make this card! Gather your supplies  1. Boho Blue cardstock--Card base 4 1/4...

Earthen Elegance Suite Oh my gosh, if you hadn't taken a look at the Earthen Elegance suite on pages 70-71 of the 2023-24 Annual Catalog, you are missing out! This suite is so different from the usual flowery sets that we have come to know and love from Stampin' Up. It has deep earthy colors and can make lovely simple or stepped up cards. We are going to make the stepped up version today, but scroll to the end of this post and you can also see the simple version. If you want more information, and tips and tricks for using this set, please watch my Facebook live below or watch on my YouTube channel (Stamp with Dr Robin). And don't forget to subscribe as I am close to having 1000 subscribers!   Let's make this card! Gather your supplies  1. Pretty Peacock 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 4 by 5 1/4". A scrap to cut the leaf. 2.

In Color Cards   So glad to be back from vacation, just in time to welcome in our new Annual Catalog and our new 2023-25 In Colors. They are Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Boho Blue, Moody Mauve and Pebbled Path. I decided to make the same card using each of the colors and that helped me have a better appreciation of all of them, though at this point Copper Clay is my favorite. I know that will change over time, but I will use it as my example for making this card. If you don't have a demonstrator that you are working with and would like a new catalog, shoot me an email at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. Also email me if you'd like information about my Paper Share for this catalog.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies  1. Copper Clay cardstock (or whichever color you are using)--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 4 by 5 1/4". A scrap to cut the leaf. 2. Basic White cardstock--3 3/4 by 5...
