Stampin’ Up! Relaxing Waterside

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend.

I have a masculine card for you today using DSP and a set coming in the new May-Aug 2026 catalog. If you signed up for my paper shares, you’ll be getting a sampling of this DSP real soon. Masculine cards are always a challenge for me, but this DSP made it really easy. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Relaxing Waterside Stamp Set, Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper and the Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

My colors are from Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #487

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a panel of Waterside Retreat DSP to a Pecan Pie card base. Cut a panel of the Waterside Retreat DSP using the 2nd largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut a panel of Old Olive using the largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the die cut DSP panel to the Old Olive mat. Adhere the layered pane to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink. Cut the sentiment out using the banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front. Add a few Earthy Matte Dots to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the sea grass image from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to an Old Olive mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the sea grass image from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Waterside Retreat DSP to the envelope flap.
