Lakeside Retreat April 2026 PPP Blog Hop

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop to feature alternative designs for the April 2026 Lakeside Retreat kit.

The Lakeside Retreat kit was designed for 3 designs and 3 cards for each design.  These are really lovely designs, I am smitten with these cards.

I took an envelope and cut it down for 2 card fronts.   Here is the larger layer with an embossed layer.

The Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder adds a nice texture on the middle layer. 

I love the colors of Pool Party and Misty Moonlight together.

I loved using the stamps to create the backgrounds.

The add-on dies are exclusive for Paper Pumpkin subscribers and available while supplies last, don't miss out on ordering!
