So Refreshing Lemonade Card

Friends, today I'm sharing another card made with the So Refreshing Stamp Set. If you missed my previous cards with this set, they're here:

If you like these cards, I warmly invite you to check out my online classes. Registration closes April 28. Learn more here.

This card has no sentiment, so it could be used for many occasions - or you could add a sentiment of your choice.

Here's my card:


To make this card, I started by stamping:

  • a pitcher outline in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a 2" x 3 1/4" panel of Basic White Cardstock
  • pitcher contents in Lemon Lolly Ink 
  • lemon slices inside and at the top of the pitcher in Lemon Lolly Ink, overlaid with Bubble Bath Ink
  • whole lemons in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a scrap of Basic White Cardstock
  • inside of lemons in Lemon Lolly Ink
I then adhered my stamped panel to a Balmy Blue scalloped rectangle, made with Scalloped Contours Dies. These versatile dies are retiring soon and discounted:


Next, I cut out the lemons with Paper Snips and used Mini Stampin' Dimensionals™ to add them to the pitcher. I also embellished with 2022-2024 In Color™ Pearls.

To assemble the rest of the card, I adhered a 2" x 4 3/4" strip of Lighter Than Air DSP to a 3 3/4" x 5" Basic White Cardstock panel. Then I added these papers to a 4" x 5 1/4" Bubble Bath Cardstock panel.

The lovely Lighter Than Air DSP is retiring on April 30, so now's the time to stock up:


I next added a length of ribbon to the panel, securing on the back with Mini Glue Dots™. I also fed a small length of ribbon through the secured strip, tying and trimming.

With Stampin' Dimensionals™, I added the panels to a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Basic White Thick Cardstock card base and the scalloped rectangle to the card.

So Refreshing Together is the Sweetest Card

Friends, today I'm sharing another card that features the So Refreshing Stamp Set. This time, I'm making lemonade and pink lemonade.

If you missed my limeade card, find it here

Here's today's card:


To make this card, I started by placing two 7/8" x 3 3/4" strips of Bright & Beautiful DSP on the edges of a 3 3/4" x 5" Basic White Cardstock panel. (I did not adhere them, to allow for re-stamping if necessary.) 

I then stamped:

  • outlines of a pitcher & two glasses in Lemon Lime Twist Ink
  • sentiment in Lemon Lime Twist Ink
  • contents of pitcher & one glass in Lemon Lolly Ink
  • lime slices inside the pitcher in Lemon Lime Twist Ink
  • contents of the remaining glass in Bubble Bath Ink
Here's the Bright & Beautiful DSP, with many multi-coloured patterns that would work for this card:


I then adhered the DSP strips to the stamped panel. Using Stampin' Dimensionals™, I attached the panel to a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Basic White Thick Cardstock card base.

Using Balmy Blue/White Variegated Ribbon, I tied a small bow, trimmed, and adhered it to the card with Mini Glue Dots™.

The beautiful Balmy Blue/White Variegated Ribbon is retiring at the end of the month and is currently on sale:


To finish the card, I embellished with Tinsel Gems Four Pack.

So Refreshing Limeade Card

Friends, when we were in Curaçao for our 30th anniversary trip, one of the drinks available every day in the resort's restaurant was lime juice. It was so refreshing, with its tart zing and subtle sweetness!

So today I'm sharing a card showing a pitcher of limeade. It's made with the So Refreshing Stamp Set and uses minimal supplies & equipment.

Here's my card:


To make this card, I started by using my So Refreshing Stamp Set to stamp onto scraps of Basic White Cardstock:

  • a pitcher outline and two glass outlines in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
  • contents of all the above in Lemon Lime Twist Ink
  • a lime slice onto the top of the pitcher in Lemon Lime Twist Ink
I then arranged a 1 3/4" x 5" strip of Glorious Gingham DSP in Lemon Lime Twist at the bottom of a 3 3/4" x 5" panel of Basic White Cardstock. (I did not adhere it yet, to allow for re-stamping if needed.) I stamped my sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink at the top right corner of the Basic White panel.

Here's the Glorious Gingham DSP, which retires April 30 and is now discounted:


Next, I adhered the Glorious Gingham strip to the Basic White panel. 

I then stretched a length of Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon across the panel, securing on the back with Mini Glue Dots. I also fed a small length through the strip of ribbon, tying and trimming it.

I attached the Basic White panel to a 4" x 5 1/4" Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock panel. I used Paper Snips scissors to cut out the pitcher and glasses, then added them to the panel. If you'd rather use the So Refreshing Dies, they are retiring soon and on sale:

With Stampin' Dimensionals™, I attached the panels to a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" Basic White Thick Cardstock card base. As a final step, I embellished with Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems.
