I love patterned papers because there are just some many ways to use them and pair them with other stamping products from your collection. Today’s card features an “embossed” background using April’s Product of the Month: The Eyelet Blooms Die. The sentiment comes from Stampin’ Up!’s Lovelye Arrangements Photopolymer Stamp Set.

For today’s card, I’m combining Stampin’ Up!’s new Relaxing Waterside Bundle with the Scenic Coast 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. Find them both in the brand-new May-August 2026 Mini Catalog. I love when it’s easy to mix and max the products with others to create a meaningful and beautiful card for someone special.
The Relaxing Waterside Retreat brings the cute adirondack chairs to the scene. And, the Scenic Coast patterned paper adds some iridescent shine with a coastal sunset. So gorgeous!

Growing up, I spent most summers living on the lake in Minnesota. Those lazy summer reading books on the dock, swimming, water skiing, and hanging out bring back great memories. So, Stampin’ Up!’s Waterside Retreat Suite calls me to me. I love all of the images and dies in the Relaxing Waterside Bundle and appreciate the great patterns in the Waterside Retreat 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
In addition, the images and paper provide a great opportunity to create masculine-themed cards.
In today’s card, I used a sketch for my inspiration. Each month, our team of Kim’s Paper Krafters works on a crafting challenge. This month, the challenge calls for us to create either a card or a memory keeping page using the following sketch.
