Happy Father's Day Dad | Relaxing Waterside

Hi friends!

This Father’s Day card is giving all the peaceful lakeside vibes, and I love it. I created this beauty during my Tuesday at 10 live class, and it turned out so amazing! I used the Relaxing Waterside Bundle along with the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper, and wow… the softness and detail in these papers just make everything come together so effortlessly.

You can watch the replay HERE on my YouTube Channel. Don’t forget to like and subscribe so you don’t miss any of my other classes.

For this card, I started with a Thick Basic White card base and layered on a piece of Shaded Spruce. I’m in love with how that thin border of color pulls out all those soft greens in the designer series paper. I added my scenic layer of DSP right on top, and just that alone already feels like a quiet morning by the water.

Next up is that gorgeous Adirondack chair. I die-cut it from Basic White cardstock, pieced it together, and popped it up on the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals to add depth. I stamped the sentiment with Basic Gray and Secret Sea ink, keeping everything soft and cohesive with the overall look.

Now for the fun details… I fussy-cut the oar and life jacket from another sheet of the designer series paper (yes, it’s worth it!) and adhered them to the chair with liquid glue. Then I tied a sweet little bow with Linen Thread and added it to the oar to fill in that negative space perfectly. To finish the front, I sprinkled a few Secret Sea embellishments across the card, just enough sparkle without taking away from that calm, relaxing scene.

And of course, I didn’t forget the inside! I added a strip of that striped designer series paper to tie everything together and give it a polished, finished look.

Have a Great Birthday | Relaxing Waterside

Hi friends!

This card just makes me smile… it feels calm, peaceful, and a little coastal. Like a quiet moment by the water. I created this during my Tuesday at 10 live class with the Relaxing Waterside Bundle, and I love how all the little details came together.

You can watch the replay HERE on my YouTube Channel. Don't forget to like and subscribe so you don't miss any of my other classes. 

There’s something about starting with a crisp white card base that always feels like a fresh beginning. I layered on Misty Moonlight cardstock and that gorgeous striped designer paper from the Waterside Retreat pack, and WOW, that pattern really sets the tone. It reminds me of soft waves or even a breezy beach towel… either way, I’m in love with it.

The arches really frame everything so beautifully. Adding that subtle shading to the white arch with Crumb Cake and Cloud Cover ink gave it just enough depth without taking away from the clean look.

Okay, can we talk about this chair for a second? I’m in love with how it turned out. I stamped it in Basic Gray and colored it with Cloud Cover Blends, and it just feels so soft and relaxing, like the perfect place to sit and watch the water.

The little details are what make this card so special… the book (because yes, I’d absolutely be sitting there reading), the cattails, and those sweet seagulls flying overhead. It tells a whole story without saying a word.

The finishing touches really bring it all together. That sentiment banner with the linen thread tucked behind it adds just the right amount of texture. And those die-cut cattails layered in? So simple, but they add so much interest and movement.

I kept the inside just as thoughtful, stamping the cattails and a seagull to carry that peaceful scene all the way through. This is one of those cards that feels complete from the inside out.

This card is a beautiful reminder that simple layers and thoughtful details can create something really special.

Lovely Arrangements | Hello Sweet Friend

Hi friends, this card just made me happy from the very first layer. I started with a simple Crumb Cake card base and a layer of Basic White, and from there, it just kept getting better and better.

I knew I wanted to play with the Lovely Arrangements Bundle and that gorgeous Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper, so I started building from the background up. The eyelet die? Stop it. I added that to the top half in Crumb Cake, and it instantly gave the card that soft, detailed texture I love. Then I paired it with a piece of the Designer Series Paper on the bottom—such a pretty combo.

Of course, I had to add a little something to bring it all together, so I used the circle die plate and trimmed it down to create a border across the middle. It’s one of those little details that really make everything feel finished

Then came the Secret Sea ribbon. I’m in love with it. I wrapped it around the center and let those scalloped edges peek out just a bit. It adds the sweetest touch without overpowering everything else.

The flowers are where it really came to life. I stamped them in Secret Sea and softly colored the centers with Cloud Cover ink. Just that tiny bit of shading makes such a difference. I tucked in some Old Olive leaves for a color contrast. 

For the sentiment, I kept it simple with “Hello Friend” on a strip of Basic White, trimmed at an angle. I added a small piece of Seacresty behind it so it wouldn’t get lost—those little layers matter.

And you know I couldn’t forget the inside! I added a strip of that same Designer Series Paper to tie everything together. It’s such an easy way to make the card feel complete.

To finish it off, I added a few Seacresty In Color flat pearls—and that was it. Done. And honestly… I’m in love with how it turned out.

You’ll find all the measurements and the full supply list below if you want to recreate it.

Card Base: 4-1/4" x 11", scored & folded at 5-1/2"

Lovely Arrangements | Always Here for You

Hi friends, today I’m sharing another card we created during my live card class. You can find the video replay HERE!

If you haven’t ever joined me for a live card class, I go live each Thursday at 3PM CT on YouTube and Facebook. Stop by and join me sometime. 

This card was created with the Lovely Arrangements Bundle and Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper—both part of the Lovely Blossoms Suite from Stampin’ Up!

You’ll find all the measurements and a complete supply list at the end of this post.

For this card, I started with a Cloud Cover card base and layered a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock embossed with the Lovely Stripes 3D Embossing Folder. That pop of texture is so beautiful. I used the circle die plate from the coordinating dies to cut out the panel of circles, adding even more interest.

I kept the colors very minimal to really let the texture shine. Just like yesterday’s card, I stamped the flower outline and sentiment with Secret Sea Ink, this is by far my favorite color. For this one, I used a sponge dauber with Cloud Cover Ink to softly color the insides of the flowers.

To dress up the inside, I stamped the smaller flower in the bottom right corner of a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered it to the inside panel.

 

For the finishing touches, I popped up the sentiment banner and flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few Secret Sea 2025–2027 In Color Pearls.

I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I enjoyed creating it.

MEASUREMENTS:

Card Base: 4-1/4" x 11", scored & folded at 5-1/2"

Cloud Cover embossed layer: 4” x 5-1/4”

I started with an Old Olive card base and layered Lovely Arrangements DSP. I love the contrast of the Secret Sea banner and the designer paper. I layered a piece of Vellum and DSP together and added them to the banner. 

I love how beautifully these cards came together. This bundle really makes creating cards so easy. And they would be a beautiful addition to any scrapbook page you're creating. 

I stamped the flowers and sentiment in Secret Sea ink and added a bit of color to the flowers with my Cloud Cover Stampin' Blends markers. 

To create a pretty inside, I simply added a strip of DSP to the right edge of a piece of Basic white cardstock and added it to the inside panel. 

I sprinkled on a few Cloud Cover 25-27 In-Color Pearls to finish off the cards. What do you think? Do you love it as much as I do?

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping.
