Greetings!
I've been wanting to use the Countryside Corners bundle for awhile and just hadn't gotten around to it until now. I've used the dies many times, as they are such a fabulous shape for frames, but I wanted to use the stamp set that goes with them as well. The stamp set features a wonderful variety of dots, dashes, little flowers and more as the detail for each frame.
My next decision was what I was going to frame and the Dainty Delight stamp set offers lovely delicate floral arrangements which are the perfect sizes to fit in the frames. I opted for the largest floral arrangement and it fits beautifully in the large Countryside Corner frames.
I'll admit, it took me a couple tries to get these layers to work the way I wanted, and to figure out the best way to adhere everything together. Lucky for you, now I can simply share it all with you and save you the guesswork!😃
This was a fun one to color in and the Stampin' Blends are always such an easy way to color things in without losing the outline detail. If you haven't tried them yet, I encourage you to get a few colors and start playing. You'll feel like an artist in no time!

Here's How It's Made:
Ink Countryside Corners stamp with Orchid Oasis, stamp onto Balmy Blue cardstock. Use the three largest Countryside Corners dies to cut out the two largest frames, using sticky notes or painters tape to hold the dies in place.
Adhere largest die cut frame to Orchid Oasis folded card front, centering. Adhere foam adhesive strips to back side of second largest frame (this has 3 rows of "stitching" around it). Set aside.
Die cut Basic White cardstock with second largest Countryside Corners die. Ink largest floral arrangement stamp with Garden Green, stamp onto die cut Basic White piece, centering.
Using Stampin' Blends, color in the floral arrangement as shown in photo below:
Adhere colored panel inside largest die cut frame on card front.
Ink "Celebrate You" with Orchid Oasis, stamp onto Basic White strip. Cut strip down close to top and bottom of text, then cut an angle on the right side. Adhere over colored floral arrangement, aligning left edge to edge of white panel.
Remove backing from foam adhesive strips, and carefully align frame inside dotted frame, adhere to Basic White cardstock die cut edge.
Embellish with Rhinestones.
Here's what the inside looks like:
Since the Countryside Corners stamp includes all the frame sizes on one stamp, I chose to die cut the remaining inside piece down to the frame with the small flower border.
Die cut Basic White piece using the die that fits inside the small flower border.
Ink "The best is yet to come" with Orchid Oasis, stamp onto Basic White cardstock. Ink the small grassy/flower stamp with Garden Green and stamp in lower right corner. Color with Light and Dark Granny Apple Green and Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blends. Adhere to Balmy Blue die cut.
