Are you ready to reel in the “catch of the day”? If youâve been looking for the perfect masculine card or just a way to send some peaceful vibes, this weekâs project has you covered!
I am absolutely hooked on the brand-new Relaxing Waterside Bundle and the gorgeous Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper. These products don’t officially launch until May 5, 2026, but I couldnât wait to give you a sneak peek of the lakeside magic.
đA View Worth Stepping Into
This isn’t your average card. For this week’s projects I used a Step Fold design to give those jumping fish some dimensionâitâs like a 3D vacation sitting right on your desk!
Why this project is a keeper:
- The Vibe: A cozy Adirondack chair, a fishing vest, and an oarâperfect for some relaxing lakeside vibes.
- The Texture: The DSP creates a perfect rippling water effect for our fish to leap from.
- The Occasion: With Father’s Day around the corner, this is a fun and thoughtful card for the men in your life. Or switch up the sentiment for a masculine birthday card.
Whether you have an avid angler in your life or just enjoy a quiet moment by the lake, this project brings the shore right to your craft room.
