Thank you if you were among the many viewers who joined me yesterday for my weekly live crafting video. I shared all the ideas and tips I found when using the Stampin’ Up! Relaxing Waterside Bundle, the Waterside Retreat 12×12 DSP and I also pulled in the amazing supplies in the April 2026 Paper Pumpkin kit: Lakeside Retreat (refill still available for subscribers).

A handmade birthday card with a die-cut wooden chair, book, seagull, and beach scene, displayed next to word dies cutting set. A tip reads: “TIP: use adhesive sheets on the back of the cardstock before die cutting Words & Wishes greetings.”. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

In addition to stamping and die cutting the chairs, my favorite part about making these cards was using the lovely scenes in the Waterside Retreat 12×12 designer paper pack.

A 12"x12" watercolor-style paper is divided into four sections by black dashed lines labeled 1, 2, and 3, showing a cutting order. Each section features lakeside scenery, boats, cabins, trees, and postcard-like designs. Instructions are below. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
A sampler sheet displays 12 circular swatches of patterned paper featuring nautical, seaside, and outdoor themes in blue, green, and brown hues. Text at the top reads, "Stampin' Up! May to August 2026 catalog Waterside Retreat DSP #167920. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
Waterside Retreat DSP
A handmade "Happiest Birthday" card with a beach scene, including a wooden chair, sand, ocean waves, seagulls, and grasses. Next to it is a metal die set labeled "WORDS & WISHES." A tip suggests using adhesive sheets before die cutting. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Above & Below: stamping the Adirondack chair in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White cardstock, then coloring with Stampin’ Blends markers was just perfect for this card! Happy Birthday was die cut with the Words & Wishes dies – be sure to use Adhesive Sheets on the back of your cardstock before die cutting for a seamless application to your project.

Two hand-drawn wooden Adirondack chairs are outlined on white paper, next to brown and beige Stampin’ Blends markers. In the background, there's a watercolor coastal scene with sand, grass, and ocean waves on the same grid paper. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

With the Relaxing Waterside bundle, you can create 2 different types of die cut chairs or stamp and die cut the traditional Adirondack chair!

Image shows a sheet displaying stamped and die-cut images of Adirondack chairs, a hat, drinks, and sentiments like "Relax," "Dad," "Happy Father's Day," and "Have a great birthday." The Relaxing Waterside Bundle from Stampin' Up! is featured with item #167928. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
A handmade birthday card features a lakeside scene with a wooden dock, a navy blue chair in the foreground, reeds, and a small bird. Text at the top reads, "Sending grand birthday wishes." The card lies on a wood surface. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I used Misty Moonlight Two Tone cardstock for the chair above and also added shading with Stampin’ Blends markers.

A handmade retirement card features a lake scene with trees, mountains, and a boat in the background. In the foreground, there's a die-cut Adirondack chair, cattails, sand, and a "HAPPY RETIREMENT" label. The card is signed "Patty Bennett. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Above: I think this was my favorite card, I love the lake scene (from the Waterside Retreat DSP) and the torn Pecan Pie Two Tone cardstock for the sand.

Tip: when die cutting bundles that have lots of pieces, I like to separate them into my Sanitor plastic containers with lids!

Clear plastic boxes contain sorted, intricate die-cut pieces in various shapes and colors, including chairs and frames. The boxes are arranged on a grid-patterned surface. Text on the image promotes these boxes for organizing die cuts, with stickers and a website visible. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
A handmade card features a wooden Adirondack chair in the foreground, a pond with cattails, and pine trees with a cabin in the snowy background. The sentiment reads “The Adventure Continues.” The card is displayed on a wood surface. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Tune back in tomorrow to see the 3 additional cards I created with these supplies plus the Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Refill Kit from April 2026.
