Today I am on the C.A.S.E. (copy and share everything) or an interpretation of the April Paper Pumpkin teaser card released by Paper Pumpkin on April 1st may be a better way to describe today's card tutorial!
There are only THREE DAYS LEFT to subscribe to the Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Kit! Subscribe Here
I will be using the Waterside Retreat Suite and the Wonderful Scenes Dies to CASE (for fun) until the April Paper Pumpkin Kit arrives toward the end of the month. Then we can CASE again!
The Waterside Retreat Suite will be available May 5, 2026 as well as the new Peaceful Pine products used in today's video. If you are interested in purchasing the Starter Kit you can purchase those items in your kit or place a preorder as a demonstrator right now.

Glue the Woodgrain pattern to card base. Glue the cabin scene to the Peaceful Pine layer. Pop the plaid strip onto dimensionals and place under the cabin scene.
Stamp "Dad" from Relaxing Waterside Stamp Set onto the sign insert in Peaceful Pine ink. Place low so you can add your word die above it.
Assemble your sign. Adhere the insert with tear and tape to hold in place. Optional: add an extra hinge using part of the second sign you die cut. See video for tutorial on how to adhere extra piece.
Stamp "Happy Father's Day" from the same stamp set also in Peaceful Pine ink on the Basic White strip and glue to the lower added hinge.
Trim the rectangle from the green journal sampler piece on the DSP (see video). Glue "Wonderful" die cut to it and then adhere at a diagonal on the sign above "Dad." Pop the whole sign onto dimensionals and add center covering cabin.
Finish with the loose anchor trinket. Optional: thread it with twine and add to sign post with mini glue dot.
In addition to the CASE card I did make two more "alternates" based on the Wonderful Scenes "sign" die which is just TOO FUN not to use!

Stamping: "Have a great birthday and Dad" stamps onto the sign insert in Peaceful Pine ink. Also stamp the small and large grassy patches in Peaceful Pine ink on the coordinating die cuts.
The striped layer first then mount the lake scene to the Peaceful Pine layer before gluing to card. Place the die cut sign left side with two of the grassy patches around the base of the sign post (one large and one small) and then the other small grassy patch in the lower right corner of lake scene.

This is a build a scene card!
Stamping: Stamp the Adirondack chair on the coordinating cardstock in Gray Granite ink. Same with the book. Stamp "Here's to the Next Chapter" in Peaceful Pine ink on the sign insert.
I chose to remove the sign post from the side and make it a "hanging sign" upper right hand corner of card on dimensionals.
Chair gets placed lower left on dimensionals and the book gets placed on the arm of the chair with adhesive. Optional: Color book with Peaceful Pine Stampin' Blends.
Fussy cut two seagulls from DSP pattern. (if you don't like to fussy cut you have two bird options in stamps and coordinating dies from Relaxing Waterside Bundle as well - just swap it out if you prefer. Place seagulls in the sky around the sign.
No embellishments on this card.
So! What do you think?
