Hi creative and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here today on The Greetery Blog! Hope you’re doing great and hoping that you had a great holiday season. Happy New Year!! In the new year, it’s time to turn to themes other than holidays, and to have fresh eyes on our projects. In that tone, I chose to share a card today featuring the lovely Large Lemon stencils and dies. Because nothing is fresher than a lemon! Ha!
My finished card is a white A2 card base. I layered a white layer die cut with the A2 Stitched 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.
That’s it for my project for today! I hope you have a fantastic and creative day! Wishing you a very happy, healthy and creative new year! It’s my pleasure to share with you, and I look forward to sharing with you again soon – and through 2025! In the meantime, happy crafting! XO Wanda
