Welcome to Creative Chelsey. Today, I am sharing my set
of cards made with the June 2026 Sheetload Of Cards Template created by Alicia,
of Call Me Crafty Al. Every month on the first she creates great templates
which she shares on her YouTube Channel. You can get your template from her
channel, the link is in the CREATIVE TEAM playlist link below.
If *YOU CREATE* cards using this month’s SheetLoad of
Cards, please use the following hashtags: #SUYSJun2026#ShowUsYourSheetLoad
With the PDF instructions she provides you can make 12
Cards with just 2 sheets of 12” x 12” pattern paper and some cardstock.
The Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper is so
gorgeous. One side has beautiful floral designs with embossed velvet areas. The
other is subtle soft textures to coordinate perfectly together. With six
different double-sided papers (2 of each) you have so many amazing projects you
can create.
I coordinated some Two-Tone Peaceful Pine Cardstock
(light) between the torn edges to help make it stand out and added Layered
Arches in Peaceful Pine & Basic White Cardstock.
The simple greeting comes from the Sending Salutations
Stamp Set. And the floral focal point is fussy cut from one sheet of Velvet
Meadow Specialty DSP.
I love making cards using the Sheetload Template. I think
these cards turned out so beautiful. I can’t wait to sent them to my customers
to thank them for their May orders.
Today I’m sharing my eleventh and
final alternative card idea using the April 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Lakeside
Retreat!
I wanted to finish this series with a
classic masculine design featuring layered textures, outdoorsy elements, and a
rustic Father’s Day theme.
For this design, I focused on:
●Layering different textures and
patterns
●Creating a masculine rustic feel
●Using vertical strips for visual
interest
●Combining fishing-themed die cuts
with earthy colors
I love how all the layered elements work
together while still keeping the layout simple and easy to recreate.

Very Vanilla Cardbase – 5-1/2" x
8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"
Peaceful Pine – 1" x 4-1/4"
Basic Beige – 2" x 4-1/4"
Waterside Retreat DSP – Brown Lined Label
Waterside Retreat DSP – Life Vest & Fish
Crumb Cake Twine – 10"
White Woodgrain Strip*
Green Plaid & Dock Cardbase* – 1-1/2"
x 4”
Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine – 10”
Card Assembly Instructions
1. Create Textures Stamp the Basic Beige piece with the Rope Detail in a
random plaid pattern. Use first & second generation stamping to give depth
to the design.
Emboss the Peaceful Pine piece with any
geometric design. I used the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder.
2. Layer Pieces Layer the 3 large strips vertically in the center of
the cardbase. Use different angles to give interest.
Cut the White Woodgrain Strip in half and
layer one half at the top and one at the bottom with a gap in the middle. This
will make the strip longer.
3. Fussy Cut Fishing Details Cut the Brown Lined Label from the Waterside Retreat
DSP. Stamp your greeting in Peaceful Pine on the right side. Add to the center
of the strips with dimensionals – make sure to cover the White Woodgrain
gap.
Fussy cut two other images from the Designer
Series Paper. I used one fish and one life jacket. Add them to the left side of
the Brown Label with dimensionals.
4. Finish with Twine Tie a bow with 10” of Crumb Cake Twine and attach to
the bottom left corner near the Fishing Elements.
Why I Love This Card
This
card is: ✔ Masculine ✔ Rustic ✔ Textured ✔ Easy to customize
My favorite part is how the vertical
strips create so much interest while using only simple pieces from the kit.

Today I’m sharing my tenth alternative
card idea using the April 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit – Lakeside Retreat!
This card combines soft coastal scenery
with layered textures and patterned paper for a clean but detailed design. I
love how the beach scene instantly creates a calm relaxing feel while the navy
accents add contrast and depth.
For this design, I focused on:
●Layering multiple patterned
elements
●Mixing soft coastal colors with
darker navy accents
●Creating dimension with simple
strips and textures
●Letting the scenic artwork remain
the star of the card
The combination of:
●Coastal scenery
●Stripes
●Woodgrain textures
●Twine details
creates such a relaxed lakeside feel.
