  • Lovely Fresh Lemons for New Years!

    Hi friends! This week was my turn to have a project up on the Greetery Blog! Hope you’re doing great and having a great week! The first full week of the New Year!! In the new year, it’s time to turn to themes other than holidays, and to have fresh eyes on our projects. So I thought – what is the freshest thing? Lemons!! In that tone, I chose to share a card today featuring the lovely Large Lemon stencils and dies. The perfect colorful start to non-holiday crafting!!
     
    My finished card is a white A2 card base. I layered a white layer die cut with the A2 Scallops Dies – so pretty! I stenciled two lemons and leaves, using the Large Lemon stencil/die set. One lemon is on the scallop panel, and the other set I cut out the leaves and flowers to create a dimensional look. I stenciled using shades of yellow, green and pink ink pads, and my blender brushes. 
     
    For the sentiment, I used the One Fine Day stamps and dies and heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder. I die cut out the sentiment and attached it to a vellum circle. I attached the extra leaves and flowers onto the card using small foam circles to make them pop. As a finishing touch I added some light pink gems. I also tied pretty twine around the top of the card. I really love these colors….so bright and happy.

  • You’re the ZEST! Fun, happy lemon card!

    Hi friends! How are you this week so far? It's been a nice day here, kinda mellow, getting a lot done! How was your weekend? We escaped to the water on Friday and enjoyed some much needed outdoor time in the 68 degree weather!! It was AMAZING!! Time seems to be flying by the past couple of weeks and I'm so excited with anticipation of Autumn!! The light is changing and it's a bit darker in the morning and it just feels a little different. I love it! Today I sat down and made a project, took the photos, and am sharing it all the same day. I really like it when that happens. Sometimes a stamp set or product comes across my desk and I have to use it right NOW! Lolz. That's what happened with these stamps, dies and stencils I used today from Taylored Expressions. I am becoming an avid stenciler and these lemons are so fabulous! And my message to you: You're the ZEST!! 

    My finished card is an A2 woodgrain card base. I layered only one layer (with the stenciling), a bit of gingham, and a bit of vellum. The lemons are the star of the show for sure. I used cream cardstock for everything, instead of bright white cardstock. Lends more of an old fashioned feel to my card.

    The lemons and leaves are two stencils. I used large and small blender brushes to ink the yellows and greens. I really love shading + stenciling!! The set comes with tiny stamps to add as leaf accents and lemon accents as you can see in the close up. Easy to get these pretty results. I splattered on some white paint too. The finished stencil piece was 6×6 but I cut it down to layer onto an A2 card.

    I used the separate lemons, flowers and leaves dies to add accent pieces to my sentiment frame. I die cut them from cream cardstock and used the same colors of inks and my blender brushes to color them to match.

    I heat embossed the sentiment in gold onto cream cardstock and die cut it out with the matching die. I added a few yellow enamel dots to the centers of the flowers and a few yellow hearts too, for good measure. This card just makes me smile and it was fun and relaxing to create. I really seem to get in the zone now when I'm stenciling… (Just wait until my card for Thursday!!)

    I popped up the sentiment with foam tape. I layered a cream rectangle over a vellum rectangle for the focus area.
