Thursday's Take - Lemon Zest

​It’s almost the weekend…It’s almost the weekend!! After my Hubby gets home from work today, our weekend officially starts! I foresee bar-b-ques, pool trips and movie watchin’! This weekend marks the end of our long summer weekends, so we’re going to get as much family time in as possible! What did you all do this summer?
Soon, it’ll be raspberry and apple pickin’ and then pumpkin patches, long sleeves and turkey, then we all know what comes next… CHRISTMAS EVERYTHING! Movies, music, decorations, food and family gatherings. This is seriously my favorite time of year!
Leave me a comment below and tell me your favorite part of fall and what your families love to do!
Continuing with this week’s featured stamp set – Lemon Zest – I wanted to show you some ideas that you can create very quickly and beautifully!

Instructions:

1. Using your Stampin’ Trimmer, cut your cardstock to the measurements above. Score your Whisper White card base in half at 4 ¼”. Use your Bone Folder to make your fold crisp and smooth.
2. Stamp the Grapefruit slice image in Calypso Coral ink and stamp it randomly on the Whisper White 3 ½” x 3 ¼” layer.
3. Place your Whisper White banner into the Banner Triple Punch and cut.
4. Stamp your sentiment in Memento ink onto the banner, leaving room towards the top for your bow.
5. Adhere your Grapefruit slice layer to the Basic Black layer with Snail Adhesive and then that layer to the Calypso Coral layer with Snail and then that to your card base with Snail.
6. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the banner and adhere it to your card.
7. Make a bow with the Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon and adhere it to your banner with a Mini Glue Dot.
