This last week, I held in-person classes in my home in Mesa, Arizona. Usually, I choose one bundle and we create three cards and projects using that same bundle. This time, We crafted with three different brand-new Stampin’ Up! bundles. This is one of the cards we made. It card uses Stampin’ Up!’s Relaxing Waterside Bundle and the Waterside Retreat 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. My favorite pieces are the two choices of Adirondack chairs. I also love that you can add a book or a cup of coffee to the arm of the chair.
I feel this bundle is perfect for creating cards and projects for both males and females. And, it’s perfect for those who love the water, be it a lake, river, or ocean.

When I start playing with a brand-new paper crafting product, I can’t seem to stop. I love the designs and patterns in Stampin’ Up!’s May Product of the Month: the Berry Botanical Vellum 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. I found some sketches I like and used them to create cards with this gorgeous vellum.
When your Stampin’ Up! online shopping purchase total reaches $75 (before tax, shipping, and any redeemed rewards), you can add the Product of the Month to your cart for just $5. Limited to one per customer. While supplies last.
I’ve created a couple of other samples using this paper. See the links below.
