Sitting by the water… is there anything more relaxing? I grew up with Lake Michigan close by and always loved to go to the lake front and watch the water lapping against the shore. It really didn’t matter what time of year, each season was always lovely and had it’s own beauty, and they all had the same effect a calming peacefulness. Today’s cards all have that same thing in common water beach or lake they are all great.

These first two cards use our By the Dock stamp set (Retiring 151622)

This set has a great set of dies that coordinate with it too call Dockside (Retiring 151618) and is 60% off right now. And don’t you love the bit of Braided Linen Trim (retiring 147808) on the post of the dock for a bit of texture?

And how about this one done in traditional colors of red, white, and blue? A favorite color combo for summer time fun.

The ribbon is part of the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack (153620). And this next card uses the Seaside View stamp set (Retiring 152651).

The Swirly Frames stamp set (Retiring 146519) was used to frame the image and Water Painters (151298) to add color to the image. The background is a piece of our In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (152494) and the sentiment has been punched out using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (152883). And check out that Braided Trim that has been used again above the sentiment to add a bit of texture again. Pull it apart and you can add it to the side too.

And finally one of my favorite sets, Sailing Home (149457) filled with great sentiments and images of the sea.

So are you already thinking of vacation and already feel more relaxed? Which is your favorite? Did you know that items that are part of our Retirement List from the 2020 Annual Catalog?
