Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a Front Step Easel Card similar to this.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Waterside Retreat Fun Fold Masculine Birthday card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Today’s card is a sneak peek of some new designer series paper coming out May 5th.

Drift into calm creativity with the Waterside Retreat 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. Soft, painterly images and sun-faded hues evoke the laid-back days of a lakeside getaway. From life vests and oars to buoys and bicycles, each sheet of this beautifully designed paper captures a beloved element of lake life. The two cut-apart sheets offer the perfect opportunity to add scenic touches to your handmade cards, scrapbook pages, and more!

I created this card for a friend’s birthday today! I usually struggle with masculine cards; however, this DSP and fun fold design made it so simple!!! I used one of the “cut-apart” images on the bottom “step” of my card. Here’s a look at the side view of this card.

My friend, John, loves to go fishing and he has a dock just like this leading out to his boat. *The punched out image is from the retired Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper. We get together a couple of times a week to play Mahjong. I chose a sentiment from the retired Game On! Stamp Set for the inside. It was perfect for him!!!

Even this plaid DSP was perfect as these are the colors of his home office! I love it when everything comes together for a special personalized card! (This is why I love handmade cards!!!)

I only created one card this week because I have made this fun fold before. You can click on the images below to view the original post for each of the cards. You can use the same DSP pattern on this style card or choose two different patterns. It’s a great way to use left over pieces! The cards below have a slight variation in the measurement for the “step” in front. You can make them shorter or taller. There are endless possibilities! *There’s no right or wrong way to do Mystery Stampin’!!!
