I had the MOST fun when I sat down to work with the new Countryside Inn collection from Stampin’ Up in preparation for the May 2023 Suite Sampler box. I couldn’t believe how fast the cards flew together! I made twelve in ONE session and still had paper left over. I made seven scrapbook pages, too, and then I had to quit because I really needed to work on something else. Otherwise I would have just kept on going. I had a ball!
I’ve selected my favorites from the inspiration samples to post here, but you can see them all on Facebook in the Suite Samplers by Embellish group. You can even add your own Countryside Inn samples to the albums if you’d like! Join us–it’s free!
Because there’s no specific flower or focal point image with the coordinating stamp set and dies, I chose from my stash to finish off the cards. Most of the sentiments are from Something Fancy; the leafy greens are from Nature’s Prints; and I used the new Classic Letters alphabet stamp set (an Online Exclusive!) for headlines and numbers.

I love pulling this box together for you every month! It’s so fun to think about you opening it and looking through the 1/2 pack of 12×12 patterned paper; thumbing through the 12×12 and 8.5 x 11 coordinating cardstock; being delighted with the variety of matching embellishments and trims; and getting excited when you see all the diecuts, specialty papers, punched pieces and more.
As I’m posting this blog article, it’s the deadline to sign up for the May 2023 Suite Sampler. What terrible timing! However, anytime you spot a recent (but past) Suite Sampler you’ve just gotta have, do feel free to contact me and if I have any extras, I’ll hook you up!
The deadline each month is the 10th. Ready to join us next time? Here’s a sneak peek… June 2023 will be featuring the new Fresh As A Daisy suite! I’m super excited to mess around with all those gorgeous new colors and the handpainted papers. Hope to see you subscribe for that one by June 10th!! Subscribe
All of the cards are beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration!
