It's so hot that I'm sweating even with the fan on....and I NEVER sweat! I decided that making a lemonade card might make me feel cooler. I recently purchased a Lawn Fawn lemon die set and I felt that it would pair nicely with Pink & Main's lemonade bottle stamp and die sets. It took several tries to align the stamps before die cutting out the bottle. In hindsight I should have used my Misti stamping tool. It would have made the procedure a snap. Anyway, after stamping and die cutting the straw, lemon slices and the sweet faced lemon, I was ready to assemble the card. I found a Doodlebug lemonade paper and die cut a Whimsy mini slimline shape. I adhered all the parts to the die cut rounded corner rectangle before attaching the whole piece to a rectangle card blank made from a sheet of Lawn Fawn pink striped card stock. (I rounded the corners with a cropper tool.) I am pleased with the overall look of the card but next time I think I might make the bottle into a shaker element with citrus fruit confetti. The message on the bottle is a little difficult to read so I'll type it here because it is a meaningful one: "There is no lemon so sour that you can't make something resembling lemonade." Pucker up and turn your lemons into lemonade....add lots of sugar please!
