Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Alternative Fun Fold Cards

Paper Pumpkin April 2026 Lakeside Retreat Alternative

April 2026 Paper Pumpkin Lakeside Retreat is a nature-inspired card-making kit designed primarily for masculine occasions like Father’s Day and birthdays. It features serene waterside imagery and an earthy color palette, allowing you to create nine handmade cards. When I started looking at this amazing kit, the ideas just kept coming, one right after another. I made the 3 original designed cards and then got started on making alternatives with all of the kit contents. I accidentally received 2 kits so I had plenty of ephemera and card bases and envelopes to play with. This masculine card kit had perfect card bases and ephemera that worked well with the fun fold templates.

I have listed all of the measurements to make the fun fold cards in the downloadable PDF below. If you want additional information, be sure to check out my youtube video below. Be sure to comment and let me know which card is your favorite.

I have included the basic supplies below that I used, however the new products coming in the May 5 Catalog are not able to be linked until the catalog goes live on May 5. The Waterside Retreat Suite Collection is a fantastic collection of products and coordinates well with this Lakeside Retreat kit. Be sure to check it out on May 5. Thanks for looking.

Under the Moonlight: Flora-Inspired Cards Moonlit Flora – Fern & Flora Bundle

Moonlit Flora Fern & Flora

Easy Template #1 makes cardmaking feel effortless, especially when paired with the upcoming Moonlit Flora Suite Collection. I used the Fern & Flora Bundle to add soft greenery and layered accents, and the coordinating Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper brings in those dreamy ferns and flora that make every card feel special. This template is ideal for beginners and seasoned stampers alike—just a few cuts, a focal layer, and your favorite patterns from the suite. It’s amazing how quickly you can create something beautiful.

Template 1

The star of this suite is the beautiful earthy color pallet:  Berry Burst, Golden Glow, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Peaceful Pine, Pecan Pie, Secret Sea, and Soft Seafoam.  

If you like my Fern & Flora cards, download the free project sheet below. Please check out my youtube video below, which shows how I created two of these cards using the basic easy template #1 from start to finish along with several alternatives.

Lovely & Beautiful Fun Fold Bridge Card

Lovely & Beautiful Fun Fold Bridge Card

Comments 0 Comment

I started this fun fold bridge card with Petal Pink cardstock as the foundation. The soft blush tone instantly sets a romantic, feminine mood, and it pairs beautifully with the botanical artwork in the suite. The fold itself is simple but interactive—just enough movement to make the card feel special without being complicated.

To add texture, I embossed the front bridge panel using the Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder. The raised floral pattern gives the card a soft, quilted look that complements the suite’s delicate illustrations.

The star of this project is the Lovely & Beautiful Suite Collection. I chose a mix of designer paper and stamped images to decorate each section of the fold. The floral artwork is detailed but airy, so it doesn’t overwhelm the soft color palette.

A few of the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera pieces were perfect for adding quick, elegant layers—especially the botanical accents. They layer beautifully to give the card a polished, dimensional look without extra effort.

January 2026 Product of the Month Fabulous Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set

The new January 2026 product of the month is now orderable.  The Fabulous Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set will allow you always to say the right thing and you’ll have the right words – stamp style – right at your fingertips.  Whether you are creating a birthday card, a thank you card, a thinking of you card,  or simply cheering on a friend, the right words are at hand.  Grab your ink and stamp a sweet card for a friend.

 

To participate in the product of the month, you will need to create a Stampin’ Up account on the Stampin’ Up website.

After you have added $75 in products to your shopping cart, the option to add the Product of the Month will pop up and you can purchase it for $5.  If you use stamp credits or rewards that reduce the product amount, you would have to make sure it did not dip below $75.

Product of the Month products will be available until they’re sold out. Once they’re sold out, they won’t be available for purchase again. If you didn’t qualify to purchase the Product of the Month during the month it was first offered and it’s still available in the following months, you can purchase that product once you reach the qualifying amount. So, if you didn’t qualify in January but you qualify in February, you can choose to buy the January Product of the Month, provided it’s still available for purchase and you meet the qualifying amount. If you buy the January Product of the Month but still want the February Product of the Month, you’ll need to qualify again.

North Pole Delivery Pocket Gift Card Holder

Comments 0 Comment

pocket gift card holderDo you find yourself at the last minute needing a fast and easy gift card holder?  I always seem to need gift card holders around Christmas time for those hard to buy for people that you never know what to get them.

This is the easiest gift card holder to make.  It uses minimal products with easy to put together instructions.  The pocket part of the gift hard holder is made by using a Stampin’ Up Basic White Medium Envelope.  Pull out your favorite designer series paper and simply cover the front and back with your favorite coordinating designs.  You’ll need a small piece of ribbon to keep your pocket closed and a simple greeting on the front to express your sentiment.

And of course, add your favorite embellishment.  These pocket gift card holders use the whimsical North Pole Delivery specialty designer series paper and the Dear Dots embellishment pack.  I grabbed coordinating ribbon from my ribbon stash.
