Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  We’ve got a sketch challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table.  I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!

I decided that our sketch was a good one to give you a sneak peek of a cool Suite of goodies coming on 3 November 2026 in the November Online Exclusives.  It’s the Country Cottage suite – with the DSP by the same name and the coordinating Cottage Kindness bundle.  Take a look-see:

And – here’s that sketch!

I started with a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Secret Sea paper from the new Country Cottage DSP (available on 3 November) to the front of my Secret Sea card base using Liquid Glue.

I used two more designs from the Country Cottage DSP paper pack – layering a 3 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Peaceful Pine paper onto a 3 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Crisp Cantaloupe Country Cottage DSP.   Then I adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I used the third-from-smallest Party Banners die (available now!) to cut out a Basic White and a Secret Sea banner.

On the Secret Sea banner – down in the bottom right corner, I stamped a Cottage Kindness sentiment in Versamark Ink and sprinkled it with white Basics WOW Embossing Powder.  I heat set the powder with my Heat Tool.

When the powder had cooled, I used my Paper Trimmer to cut an angle in the banner.

I set the angled bottom of the banner onto the Basic White banner and used it as a guide to stamp the Cottage Kindness stem three times in Peaceful Pine ink.

Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the partial Secret Sea banner to the bottom of the Basic White banner.

I wrapped a length of the Crumb Cake 1/4″ Lacelet Trim (part of the Suite and available on 3 November!) around the “seam” in the banner, securing it in the back with Mini Glue Dots.

I used the next largest Party Banners die (the fourth-from-smallest) to cut out a piece of the Crisp Cantaloupe Country Cottage DSP.

Then I adhered the sentiment banner to the DSP banner with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped three of the two-flower images from the Cottage Kindness die cut.  For each set, I inked the image in Daffodil Delight ink and then used a Sponge Dauber to add a little Golden Glow ink to the base of the flowers.

I cut them out with the coordinating die in the Cottage Kindness set and then adhered them with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the banner to the card front.

I added three Crisp Cantaloupe 2026-2028 In Color Dots and the card front was done.

On the inside, I stamped the Cottage Kindness stem in Peaceful Pine in the corner of a Basic White panel.  I added the flowers in Daffodil Delight (with the Golden Glow daubered on).  Then I stamped the cute little bow in Secret Sea ink.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the card base and the card was done.

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Cottage Kindness flower and bow on the front…

…and more of the Country Cottage DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Well – I think you’re going to be wanting the Country Cottage suite when it’s available on 3 November!  The DSP is stunning and the coordinating Cottage Kindness bundle has beautiful stamped images and sentiment – plus plenty of dies to cut out the images AND extra foliage!  I’ve barely scratched the surface of the suite with this card!! 🙂
