Four Seasons July 2023

I can easily be enabled to shop - case in point: THIS darling card from Color Hues DT member Karen Walker had me searching the web and shopping ebay of all places!  I was very happy with the deal I got and overjoyed with my first play with it today!  Thanks, Karen AND the gals at Four Seasons Summer Season for the lemons!  


Spellbinders' Lemon Zest die set; EH Squeeze the Day for my sentiment.
Pinkfresh Studio: Slimline Ornate Banner used to cut PTI Prairie Grass Bitty Big plaid.
PTI Lemon Tart cardstock for the lemons, enhanced with CP Limoncello ink.
The Stamp Market Leafy and Avocado greens for stems and leaves.


I'm spending the rest of my day water-coloring one of my Betterpress-ed panels - more soon!

  10. I've been enabled a time or two myself, and usually I end up with more than I bargained for. Yep... looking at my basketful right now. Love this so much! Yellow is my favorite, and I adore a citrusy card. You got it just right with the perfect paper and slimline design. You'd be surprised how many lemon sets I window shopped recently. I'm currently in a self-imposed no-buying spell and it's not easy.

  12. Thanks for the shout-out! I'm behind in everything crafty, including blog posts. Trying to do some serious cleaning and organizing before Sarah and her family arrive on Friday. BUT, I do love your lemon card! You have the perfect sentiment for it as well.

  13. I love your lemon card Michele! I can see why you had to have this set. LOL Lemon dies and stamps are so popular right now. Fun fact, I have half a lemon each night before bed. It helps with the sinuses and keeps Kidney stones at bay. Wish I had known this the first 22 years of having stones! Lemons not only make beautiful cards like yours, but they are good for you too! Hugs, Brenda
