If you’ve never tried a diorama card before, this is a great card to try.

This fun fold looks impressive when it stands up, but it’s actually much easier to create than it looks. I love how the layered scene gives this card extra depth while still keeping the design clean and masculine.

The relaxing lakeside theme makes it perfect for Father’s Day, summer birthdays, or thinking of you cards. The Waterside Retreat Bundle works beautifully for creating peaceful outdoor scenes like this.

And if you like this project, scroll down because I’ve also included another card idea below using the same Waterside Retreat Bundle in a completely different way. It’s always fun to see how versatile one bundle can be!

If you love soft florals, layering, and beautiful colour combinations, you’re going to want to take a peek at this month’s Product of the Month.

The Berry Botanical Vellum creates such a soft, elegant look on cards and scrapbook projects. One of my favourite things about it is how completely different it looks depending on the cardstock or colours you place behind it. It’s an easy way to add depth and texture without making a project feel too heavy.

This special Product of the Month offer is available when you place a $100 in May -- while supplies last.  I’ve shared photos, details, and more inspiration over on my blog.

One of my favourite things about card sketches is how easy they are to adapt.

For this week’s sketch, I swapped the flowers for a set of oars from the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper to create a simple masculine Father’s Day card.

This design would also work beautifully with florals, candles, trees, paint brushes, kitchen tools, or really any long image you have in your stash.

I also love that the oars were simply cut right from the Designer Series Paper. Sometimes the paper already has everything you need to create a great focal point!

And with Father’s Day coming up on June 21, this is a great layout to keep in mind for those harder-to-make masculine cards.
