A Father's Day card made using the Relaxing Waterside stamp set and the Stylish Shapes dies from Stampin' Up!

Relaxing Waterside Father’s day card

Posted on June 21, 2026June 13, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Here is the card I designed for my son to give my husband on Father’s Day using the Relaxing Waterside stamp set.

Coloured used to make this card are:

I created the relaxing waterside card using the following supplies:

Blueberry Bushel card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Darling Duckling – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Darling Duckling & Blueberry Bushel

In the centre of a large scrap panel of Basic White card I die cut a circle using the largest of the circle dies from the Stylish Shapes dies. This was placed over the smaller piece of Basic White card to act as a mask and held in place with washi tape.

I used a Blending Brush to apply Misty Moonlight ink to the negative space, slowly building up the colour. The mask was then removed.

The chair was stamped, overlapping the inked circle with Secret Sea ink and coloured it in with Blueberry Bushel Blends Pens.

Using Darling Duckling ink I stamped the dotty image, from the Help Me Grow stamp set, under the chair and added the small grass image with 1^st and 2^nd generation Old Olive ink.

The sentiment was stamped in Secret Sea ink. I flagged the end of two ¼” strips, one of Darling Duckling and the other of Blueberry Bushel card and added them to the top of the panel. I added the layer to the Darling Duckling panel, offset. The whole piece was mounted onto the Blueberry Bushel card base.

A trio of Darling Duckling gems from my stash finished the card.

From the square of Night of Navy card I die cut the lighthouse. I mounted it onto the card front using Black Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped on the strip of Balmy Blue card with Night of Navy ink. I trimmed it down and cut the words apart before adding it to the card front.
