This was an easy card with the Waterside Retreat designer series paper from Stampin’ Up and the sheet of cut-outs. This used the center cut-out cut down slightly with a few additions. What a beautiful Father’s Day card, my dad will love it.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Peaceful Pine card stock (2026-2028 In Color Stampin’ Up)
- White card stock
- Waterside Retreat designer series paper (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- Relaxing Waterside stamp set and dies (2026 Annual Catalog Stampin’ Up)
- Peaceful Pine or Soft Succulent (retired) ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Pecan Pie or Baked Brown Sugar (retired) ink ( Stampin’ Up)
- Paper trimmer)
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
From a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 1/2”. With some white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and adhere to the inside back of your card base. Take your Waterside Retreat designer series paper pack and find the sheet that has all the cut-outs and cut out the center one, then cut it down slightly to measure 4” x 5 ¼”. Adhere to the front of your card
Now from the Waterside Retreat designer series paper find the paper that has the life jackets and oars and cut out one single oar and one of the smaller life jackets, I did the green one but the pink striped one would look nice as well. Use pop dots to adhere the oar to the lower portion of your card on the dock so it looks like you are getting ready to go out in the boat (it looked best with the handle off the paper so I trimmed it off), then adhere the life jacket over that with pop dots, making sure you place your pop-dots so you don’t hit the oar.
Take a scrap piece of white card stock and your Pecan Pie ink (I used Baked Brown Sugar as I don’t have Pecan Pie) and the wood grain looking stamp from Nature’s Symphany stamp set, stamp off and then stamp onto your white card stock. Then take the “Dad” and “today is your day” greeting stamps from Relaxing Retreat and stack together on a block, then stamp over the wood grain. Cut out into a rectangle shape as desired. Stamp the flying seagull from Relaxing Retreat and stamp on a scrap piece of white card stock in Peaceful Pine (or Soft Succulent because I couldn’t get the Peaceful Fine ink yet) ink and use the die to cut it out. Adhere the seagull to the upper right corner of your label. Then adhere your label with pop dots to the upper right corner of your card front.
For the inside use the wood grain stamp again with your Pecan Pie ink and stamp off and then stamp in the upper center of your white inside piece. Then with Pecan Pie ink stamp the “Happy Father’s Day” greeting over the wood grain. Use Peaceful Pine ink and larger grass stamp and stamp in the lower left corner.
What a beautiful card for any occasion, but this one was made specifically for my dad on Father’s Day, hope he doesn’t look at my site before Father’s Day.
