I hadn’t used this beautiful designer series paper in a while, so I looked through the papers, and out came this Countryside Inn Boho Blue Thinking of You Card. You never know what will happen when you go to make a card.
This card uses two different patterns in the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper. I used one for a background layer and the brighter floral for the front of the card. I used Boho Blue cardstock, one of the newest current In Colors 2023-2025 for the card base and the layer under the floral paper and under the greeting.
This card base is cut at 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5 1/2″ with a fold at the top instead of the side. You can make it however you like. The designer paper directly on the card base is 5 1/4″ x 4″. The floral paper on the front is cut at 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ with the Boho Blue layer underneath cut at 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″.
Before adhering the floral layer, tie a piece of ribbon around the designer paper and then adhere a separate bow with a Mini Glue Dot. I used the Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon. I could have used my Boho Blue 3/8″ Textured Ribbon to match the other Boho Blue I used on the card, but I thought the Night of Navy ribbon stood out a little better and matched the Night of Navy flowers on the paper. You could pop up this whole layer if you wanted to. I adhered mine flat on the card front but I considered using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up.
The greeting is from the Sentimental Park Stamp Set and stamped in Boho Blue ink. I considered several choices for diecutting the greeting but chose the Something Fancy Dies. I could use one cut out in Boho Blue to layer under the Basic White diecut greeting. We don’t always have something to layer underneath a greeting to help it stand out, but with these dies I did! To finish the card, I added two Boho Blue 2023-2025 In Color Dots to the greeting.
You could make this same card using different designer paper so give this Countryside Inn Boho Blue Thinking of You Card a try!
