Recently I attended an event run by Stampin’ Up! that was earned by bettering our sales from the previous years. We were provided a free exclusive pack of the Countryside Rose Designer Series Paper which was produced only for those that earned the event. You can’t purchase this paper but we do have a blue version of this paper named Countryside Inn.
Stampin’ Up! really do reward their demonstrators no matter their status really well. I love all the opportunities and events I have been able to attend over the years. You can always check out all the reasons I love being a demonstrator and information about joining my team here.
This card was also recreated using the same pattern as the Accordion Gate Fold Card that I made in last week’s Facebook live using the scraps I had left over after the event. You can see the tutorial and other card that I created here.
Here is a little sneak peek of the beautiful Countryside Rose Designer Series Paper…
the finished country side rose triple accordion gate fold card
Here is a look at the finished accordion gate fold card that was a replica of the card that I created last week. I had a bunch of the Countryside Rose Designer Series Paper left over on my desk and I just got the urge to create something with them. I have been loving using up all my Designer Series Paper lately and this is another great fun fold that really shows off those beautiful patterns.

some close ups of the finished card
Here is a look at the details and the inside of the finished card. These patterns are just beautiful and are so bright and colourful. I was inspired to use the same Iridescent ribbon that we used in the sales challenge event. It is such gorgeous ribbon to work with and as it is sheer, will match anything!
the colour combination from these projects
Can anyone say PINK?!! These projects all feature a monochromatic pink theme! I can’t say that pink is my favourite colour but it really was fun to create these monochromatic projects featuring a whole lot of pink. I tend to sway more to the blues & greens but sometimes it’s fun to go outside your creativity ‘box’ of comfort.
a notecard, card & gift bag using the countryside rose paper!
Here is a look at the three projects that we made at the Stampin’ Up! sales challenge event. A notecard, a standard sized card and a fun gift bag! These are so different to my usual style which I love because mixing it up sometimes is fun. I added a few extra details, gems and some ribbon to my card because I just love making things a little bit ‘extra’.
a close up of the finished projects
You can see all the detail and texture here including the extra texture I added to my card bases by running an ink pad lightly over the top.
I changed up my gift bag a little by adding some holes and attaching some handles with the ribbon.
P.s. Did you know that you can colour this sheer ribbon with a Stampin’ Blend? How cool is that? I made my ribbon Pretty in Pink for the gift bag to make it a nice coordinating colour.
I hope that you enjoyed seeing these projects today and got some inspiration. Even though you can’t purchase this Countryside Rose paper it could easily be recreated in any of our beautiful Designer Series Paper.
