if you’re looking for a versatile die set, Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new Countryside Corners Dies fits that wish list. Find it on page 156 of the new Annual Catalog.
These dies work well for layering, for sentiments, as frames, and much more. Click here to see how I used the dies to create a fun and easy treat packet.
In today’s post, I share a pocket card I created with these dies. I made it for a card swap with my team.
Countryside Corners Pocket Card
Here are some measurements to help you make this card at home. (Also, be sure to watch the quick video below. I offer stamp-by-step instructions.)
Night of Navy card stock base measures 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
Basic White card stock base measures 5 1/4″ x 4″. Embossed with Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.
Use the largest Countryside Corner Die to die cut a piece from your choice of Designer Series Paper.
Score this piece 1 1/2 inches from the top, fold, and adhere with a Glue Dot.
Apply a thin layer of glue to the backside of your design — only on the sides and bottom. Do not glue the top.
You’ve created a pocket.
I added a bow with the Balmy Blue Variegated Ribbon.
Now, make a tag insert.
Use the third largest die to die cut a piece of Balmy Blue card stock.
My sentiment comes from Stampn’ Up!’s Go To Greetings stamp set. Stamped in Night of Navy ink.
I added a flower created with the Petal Park Bundle (stamped in Night of Navy ink.) Add an Iridescent Pearl in the center of the largest flower.

Do you like to make items in addition to greeting cards with your paper crafting products? I know I love to make small treat packets and gift packaging. They’re fun to give out at classes and special events and to celebrate birthdays, say thank you, and more. These are also perfect for bridal or baby shower partyfavors.
These dies make great frames for cards, and they pair with the Countryside stamp set. But they’re also large enough to make a treat holder.

And, this design is easy peasy. Here are a few details. Be sure to watch the video below (a Facebook live replay) to see step-by-step instructions for making these fun treat packets.
Use the largest die to cut the image from card stock (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″)
Score the die cut 2 1/4″ on each end
Choose the second largest die and cut some coordinating Designer Series Paper
Trim two inches off each end of the image.
Fold the card stock on the score lines
Glue the DSP to each side
Insert candy
Pinch the top of the packet together and punch a hole with a small hole punch
Add ribbon
Decorate as you wish
Enjoy these two additional samples. Which one is your favorite?
The above packets uses the Starry Sky design from the 2022-2023 In Color 6 x 6 Paper Pack with a sentiment from Country Bouquet and flower from Petal Park.
And this last sample uses the Bright & Beautiful 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper with a sentiment from the Circle Sayings Stamp Set.
