This card relaxes me just by looking at it and hopefully it gets warm enough soon to be able to enjoy this in real life. This card is made from the Waterside Retreat designer series paper and the Relaxing Waterside stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up.

To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Misty Moonlight card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Waterside Retreat designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- Relaxing Waterfront stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- Crumb Cake ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Old Olive ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
From Misty Moonlight card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. From white card stock cut two pieces to 4” x 5 ¼”. From the Waterside Retreat designer series paper pack find the piece with the different landscapes and cut out the beach scene and trim it to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”.

Take the beach scene and Old Olive ink with the “Relax” stamp from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set and stamp in the upper right corner over the clouds. From a scrap piece of white card stock and Crumb Cake ink and stamp the Adirondak chair and use the die to cut out. With Old Olive ink stamp the book and coffee cup and cut out with dies. Adhere the Adirondak chair with pop dots to the lower left corner of your beach scene and then adhere the coffee cut to the left-side arm and the book to the right-side arm.

For the inside of your card adhere the second white piece to the back panel of the inside of the card. Use Old Olive ink and stamp the smaller grass in the lower left corner and the “today is your day” greeting in the upper center.

I am going to use this to give to a friend for her beach house bachelorette party weekend.
