Countryside Inn – For You

A bit of an advanced card using die cutting, two-step stamping, watermarking, coloring stamps, and fussy cutting! Had a fun time making a version with some of the Moose Friends!

The Countryside Corners Bundle has everything you need to take your crafts to the next level. The image-only stamp comes with several elegant borders that can be transformed into beautiful projects. The borders can be cut out using the Countryside Corners Dies. When you use them together, you can add layers and texture, and create frames, peek-through frames, centerpieces, and so much more!
