Lakeside & Waterside Retreat Masculine Cards

The new catalog has begun and it seems to be a huge hit!! One of the wonderful suites coordinates with the Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin. Lakeside & Waterside Retreat Masculine Cards are perfect for Father’s Day or birthdays for all the men in our lives. These are the cards I created for my April Paper Pumpkin Alternate Cards. I cut apart the card bases from the Kit, added cardstock to create 6 cards from 3 card bases.

This first card is half of one original card base added to a Misty Moonlight card base for a simple but adorable card.

I love this second card. It feels so calm and peaceful with a woodgrain print in the center. I just want to walk to the end of that pier and sit for a while.

This double z-fold shares many pieces from the kit. The boat and plaid pieces are cut from one of the card bases from the kit to create a completely different look.

Card #4 is an easel fold so it is perfect to stand on display.

I love this fifth card. It makes me think of vacations in a cabin on a lake where we took our kids fishing. So many fun memories.

When you open the card, it looks like a shadow box with a cabin in the forest.

The final card has a slide lock keeping the card closed. It looks like a regular card but the beach scene piece slides off the card front to reveal the message inside.

This challenge is a 6″ x 6″ One Sheet Wonder using Paper Medley Designer Paper and Scalloped Blooms Bundle. We made 3 cards that are perfect for the men in your life. These cards cover birthdays, thinking of you and blessing to me.

Floral Charm One Sheet Wonder

This adorable Floral Charm One Sheet Wonder Card Set was one of the Add-On Classes for Spring Fling. I paired the Floral Charm Designer Paper with the new Scalloped Blooms Bundle that is available tomorrow (Tuesday, May 5)!! This bundle is fabulous — great sentiments and amazing dies. These cards are simple but beautiful and perfect for all the ladies in our lives.

Floral Charm Designer Paper, Scalloped Blooms Bundle, Scalloped Blooms Stamp Set, Scalloped Blooms Dies, Berry Burst 1/4" Shiny Ribbon, Purple Shimmer Dots, One Sheet Wonder, Spring Fling, Birthday, Thinking of You, Thank You, Stamp with Peggy

Those who added on this wonderful class received half package of the Floral Charm Designer Paper, 1 yard of Berry Burst 1/4″ Shiny Ribbon and a package of Purple Shimmer Dots. The Shimmer Dots are sold out now but can be replaced with other beautiful embellishments.

Before you start cutting the Designer Paper you need to check if the paper has a direction – leaves, stems, etc. going the right way. Some cards are portrait and others are landscape so be sure to watch that as you start cutting your paper.

One of the fun parts of this One Sheet Wonder is you are using both sides of the Designer Paper. The Berry Burst strip on Card #1 is the opposite side of the floral image.
