The Cat's Pajamas' Lemons stamp set is just so adorable! It comes with fun images and even fun-ner sentiments. When picking papers for my card, I picked a colourful collection by Bo Bunny and it just happens to be called Lemonade Stand, so I think this pairing was meant to be.
The background behind the bunny was created with a fun CutUp die called County Fair. It cuts out the grass, pennant lines and outer frame. Then, the CutUp also includes the two shapes of pennants with stitched borders so you can paper piece the pennants in different colours, making life easy! There's an added sunburst shape, which I figured I would use as the sun on my card. To fill out the background, I used a Project Life 3" x 4" card die, which is practically the same size. There was maybe a 1/16" overlap on each side, so I just eliminated it with my scissors afterwards. Still made my life easier since the corners were already rounded like the CutUp image and all.
Now, since the CutUp image is 3" x 4", it will fill out a card front pretty fast. There's a few sentiments included in the stamp set, but they're all fairly big, so I decided to go for a bigger card size: 4-1/4" x 6", and I used my Envelope Punch Board to make a matching envelope out of patterned paper after.
Design is inspired by Retro Sketch #164.
