More Waterside Cards, Please

After making the three cards from the last post using Waterside Retreat designer papers, I just couldn't stop using the beautiful papers to make more cards.  The beautiful images were calling to me from my stamping room (Craft room #1).  

For this card, I started with Pebbled Path cardstock and added the dock scene to my card along with some cut out oars and life jacket.  For embellishment, I put a small banner and button on the top and added a srtip of Just Jade fancy cut out that was sitting on my desk.  

The little seagulls are stamped in the sky to make the scene come alive.  This card can be used for birthday, Father's Day or any special day that you feel like sending someone a card.

The next card is a trip to the ice cream shop along the boardwalk.  Sit for a bit sipping some coffee and enjoying your ice cream.  The Relaxing Waterside coordinating stamp set has the chair and cup image in it that I fussy cut and added to the card.   I put another small banner and the loose anchor trinket to the top of the card.  Copper Clay is the background cardstock and it just ties right in with the ice cream sign.

The next card takes you back to the cabin along with an Adirondack chair and some oar and life jacket cut outs.  I embossed Happy Birthday in white powders and added some late afternoon seagulls to the sky.  

What an amazing set of products to work with!  I just want to make more.  :)

 

Waterside Retreat

I have to say that Waterside Retreat is my favorite product page from the May catalog!  It comes with 2 pages of watercolored landscape images that you can cut out and use for your cards.  This first card has a beautiful boat scene and I used Peaceful Pine and Misty Moonlight cardstock and colors to go with it.  

The paper pack also has papers with images of oars, life jackets, fish and boat buoys that are just adorable.  The papers can be used for both masculine and feminine cards, and especially for anyone that loves being at the lake.

For this card, I started with Misty Moonlight cardstock and added the beach scene.  The fence posts are from On the Horizon die set and I think they really add to the card.  I used some little pebble embellishments in the sand.  It's completed with the oars and Father's Day saying.

This third card has some wave paper for the background.  I added two of the scenes from the designer papers, some buoys and a loose anchor trinket to the card.  In the background is a sea net cut out from the Sunset Coast.  I love the peaceful blue colors to this card.  

Don't these cards make you want to take a day trip to the lake?  Sea shells, sailboats, a walk on the beach and a ride in the rowboat.  Mmm, great summer cards.
