Lemon Zest and the Stamp Review Crew
Lemonade Anyone?
The Stamp Review Crew brings you the Lemon Zest Stamp Set! I decided since I was given lemons, I needed to make some lemonade! So I incorporated the Jar of Love Stamp Set and Everyday Jars framelits dies to create a country glass of fresh lemonade! They are the perfect match!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- With a Stampin’ Trimmer, cut a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score and fold at 5 1/2″.
- Cut a piece of Pineapple Punch Designer Series Paper & Shimmery White Cardstock to 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″.
- Using an Aqua Painter, add a watercolor wash background of Pineapple Punch.
- Stamp the background stamp from the Artisan Textures Stamp Set in Pineapple Punch and stamp within the watercolor Wash background,
- Adhere both pieces as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp the lemon slice and full lemon image in Pineapple Punch Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock. Blend the color with an Aqua Painter.
- Snip the lemon slice to create one large and two small wedges.
- Stamp the Jar Image in StazOn onto Vellum Cardstock. Crop it with the coordinating die and a Big Shot.
- Crop an additional jar of Shimmery White Cardstock. Color with Pineapple Punch and an Aqua Painter. (only part way to the top)
- Crop a straw using the die and Pineapple Punch Designer Series Paper. Adhere the large lemon wedge, a small lemon wedge, straw and the two jar pieces together with Snail adhesive. Tip: only place adhesive around the edge of the jar so that it does not show through the vellum.
- Adhere the full lemon, small lemon wedge and jar to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals,
- Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment in Versamark on Basic Black Cardstock. Cover with Whisper White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, set with a Heat Tool. Snip to size with a Paper Snips and adhere with Snail Adhesive.
- Add 3 Black Faceted Dots for a final touch.
Vellum Cardstock is a must have in your craft supplies. It works well to portray the look of glass so I used it to help me create the depth of the lemonade and to make it look like the lemon and straw were inside. Make sure to use StazOn, it stamps and dries best when using Vellum!
Stamping sentiment on Black Cardstock and embossing them with White Embossing Powder really makes them stand out and pop off the card! Yellow and black work so well together!

#tgifc168 Sketch Meets Sea of Textures
Happy Friday! TGIFC168
It’s Friday and time for a Sketch Challenge with the TGIFC! The Sea of Textures Bundle was one of my first purchases from the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. I hadn’t used the bundle yet, and when I saw the sketch, my mind immediately went to the images from the stamp set. It is a fun bundle to play with and I look forward to using it on future creations!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- With a Stampin’ Trimmer, cut a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score and fold at 5 1/2″.
- Cut a piece of Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″. Wrap a piece of Tranquil Tide 3/8″ Ruffled Ribbon 1/2″ in from the left side. Adhere with Snail Adhesive.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 2 3/4″ x 5 3/8″. Bend the ends in to create a rugged edge. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Crop a 1 7/8″ and 2 3/8″ Stitched Shaped Circle using a Big Shot and Whisper White Cardstock. Stamp the 1 7/8″ Circle with Tranquil Tide and the small coral stamp. Adhere the small circle with Snail Adhesive and the larger circle Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Using the fish net die and a Big Shot, crop a piece of Balmy Blue Cardstock. Adhere to the large circle die cut with a small strip of Snail Adhesive.
- Stamp the octopus in Rich Razzleberry Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock. Crop with the coordinating framelit die and a Big Shot. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Using the Sand Dollar Die Cuts, crop a large and small using the Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper and a Big Shot. Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the “star” pieces in the upper right corner (as shown) with Snail Adhesive.
- Using the Coral & Kelp Die Cuts, crop pieces of Tranquil Tide Cardstock. Adhere as shown with small strips of Snail Adhesive.
- Stamp the coral in Mint Macaron Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock. Crop with the coordinating die cut and a Big Shot. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp the sentiment in Balmy Blue Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock. Snip with a Paper Snips.
- Cut a 4″ piece of Rich Razzleberry 1/4″ Velvet Ribbon. Adhere as shown with Snail Adhesive. Adhere the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The color combination was inspired by the Tranquil Texture Designer Series Paper. The mixture of Regal and Subtle Colors is pleasing to the eyes. I don’t think I will ever tire of this combination!
The die cut net is so fun to incorporate into your creations, I can definitely see this being used on one of my scrapbook pages in the near future. The sand dollar die cuts are to “die” for, it makes me long for a beach!
