Happy TGIF! Keeway is here with a super fun project today that combines our new Print Shop: Peachy Keen + Lemon Blossom. I love her ideas for adding lots of versatility to the Peachy Keen set!
The Print Shop collections are my favorite Greetery products to work with, and so well put together that it’s literally impossible to make a bad card! I really loved the recent release of Print Shop: Peachy Keen and wanted to find alternative ways to use the products, so I thought maybe I can switch out the peaches for some sweet lemons from last summer’s release?

I started by using the Peachy Keen stencils for the leaves and the flowers. The leaves were blended using Bundled Sage and Mowed Lawn distress oxide inks, and the flowers were blended with Victorian Velvet and Wilted Violet distress oxide inks. I then used the Peachy Keen stamp set to stamp in the details.
Now we’re left with empty areas where the peaches would have been, so this is where I used the lemons from Lemon Blossom! I used the Lemon Blossom Stamp Set to create my three variations of lemon images and the Lemon Blossom Die to die cut each of them out. The lemons are smaller than the peaches, so in many areas, I overlapped a couple of my stamped images to fill in the spaces, and strategically covered any partial leaves with the lemon. You can’t even tell the space was meant for peaches!
I also stamped my sentiment from Lemon Blossom Stamp Set directly onto the card in black and then trimmed down my panel to a size 4″ by 5.25″ before mounting it onto a white A2 top fold base card. As a final embellishment, I added several drops of Nuvo Jewel Drops in Limoncello and Orange Marmalade. These dropped added a fun texture and also look just like droplets of the fruit juice!
How do you like the lemon replacement of the peaches from the original design? Shall we try some flowers next? So many possibilities!
What a fun project by Keeway…I just love it! So clever!
Before I go, just a note about the preorders that many of you are waiting on. We are expecting to be able to begin shipping the Pinwheel Party preorder bundles starting early next week. If your order includes one of the other two preorder bundles (Birthday Blooms or Balloon Bouquet), we’re expecting those to begin shipping more towards the end of next week. It will be our top priority to get those out as soon as we possibly can once we have everything in hand.
If you didn’t place a preorder for these items but have been on the look-out for them, we will be restocking those as regular items in the shop after we are finished filling preorders. We are expecting that to happen likely around the second week of August. (We’re hoping to sneak in a family get-away in between getting those preorders out the door and restocking the shop 😊)
Have a great weekend…I hope you find some time to do something creative!

Lovely Keeway!
While I am lucky to already have those items, wanted to wish you a happy family get a way!! Take that time to enjoy your family and come back energized and creative!!!
Love the cards! Thank you, Keeway. Betsy…enjoy your vacation and stay well.
Beautiful! Love when you show us ways to expand our stamps. Love the lemons and would enjoy seeing what you could do with florals. Happy Vacay Betsy… stay safe and healthy!
Well, isn’t Keeway the clever girl! I like this a lot. Yes, let’s try flowers next.
Have always loved Keeway’s creations, but this one really is very clever. Enjoy your family getaway, Betsy!
Pre-order bundles?!? I missed it! Darn! I’ll be looking for it next month. I have a suggestion for the store website, (maybe you already have it planned). Under the “Shop” link, please add a “Bundles” link. This would make it easier to see what you are offering as bundles and get to them.
Love, love, love your products! They are different and innovative. They are well thought out with details I just don’t see from other companies. The Summer travel stamps and dies are SO STINKIN’ CUTE!!
I missed your last sale, but I have my cart filled and ready for the next one.
You always make beautiful cards!
I love this set! After I saw the Crate during the latest release, I was already thinking of a crate full of lemons for a card. (been practicing too!). I just love how you used the stencils in a different way Keeway! Your card turned out so bright & pretty!
Betsy, I hope you’re able to get away with your family. I can’t think of a a time when some R& R is needed as much as now! Enjoy and have lots & lots of fun! 😎☀️
Love it! Was thinking it would have been great if the Lemons were a print shop like the peaches, and NOW they are! Awesome job Keeway!!! Betsy a fun, refreshing and relaxing get-away!
Gorgeous cards, Keeway! I LOVE what you have done with the lemons – great combo!
Your sight is difficult to navigate. Why not show products after a blog?
This is so fantastic! What a great way to extend the use and creativity of both of these sets! Beautiful!
You have inspired me so much! I tried this set with purple for plums! It’s awesome! Can’t wait to try the lemons when Lemon Blossom is back in stock! 🍋
Ohhh…that’s a fantastic idea! I bet that turned out so pretty!
I’m still so obsessed with this stencil set! I’m going to try strawberries next! I love the versatility of the leaf/flower stencils. Your cards are always stunning! 🙌🏻
