This week’s cards are two simple designs featuring the Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper and the new Words & Wishes Dies from Stampin’ Up! These cards are part of the upcoming Zoom Card Class being held on May 22, 2026.
Last week’s cards were a One Sheet Wonder using a single sheet of the Waterside Retreat DSP. Over the next two weeks, I will continue featuring this beautiful DSP with fun fold card designs. These upcoming cards are also part of the May Zoom Card Class.
After the catalog debut on May 9, 2026, the class calendar will be updated with photos of all upcoming card classes through August. Bonus Card Kits will also be available each month for those who enjoy creating cards on their own using a step-by-step tutorial.
