Hello there and welcome back for more Garden Party fun with The Greetery! Lots to show you today, so let's dive right in!
First up, I recently painted a lemon painting in my studio, so this giant lemon set brought a big smile to my face! How fun is it?!
I die cut the lemon with the new Large Lemon die and then added details with the stencil.
I also used the dies and stencils to create the flowers and leaves to accent the lemon.
PRO TIP: Layer die cuts over the top of stenciled leaves, for more detail and interest. Just be sure to slightly off-set your die cuts, so the stenciled layer behind peeks through.
The sentiments are from the new Squeeze the Day stamp set.
PRO TIP: For added dimension, do some simple shading on your lemon and leaves even before you use the detail stencils!
For this card, I used the new Sippin' Summer stamps and dies, along with one of the new Summer Silly Straws dies! Good grief, how clever are those straws?!
Here's a better look at that fun straw, as well as another sentiment from Squeeze the Day. The background was made with the A2 Stitched Scallops die and the Scalloped Gingham stencils.
As for the drink, I used the new Trendy Tumbler dies as well as the Sippin' Summer stamps and dies, to create the layered up drink.

For this card, I used the new Garden Gateway die, paired with the new Impressionist Garden stencils and die. Um, hello....again, right up my alley! Haha!
The sign was cut with the Garden Gateway die and the sentiment is from Bloom & Grow Sentiments.
Behind the gate, I added greenery with the new Palm Border die. I love that it looks like there's a lush garden waiting to be explored just beyond that gate!

One more for today.....this one makes me laugh a little because if you've been with me for awhile, you may have heard me talk about our massive wisteria plant that refuses to bloom! (insert massive eye roll here -- lol!) We planted a wisteria probably close to 20 years ago now, and it has grown to mammoth proportions and yet, has almost never bloomed. We've googled and tried all the things to get it to bloom and still......nothin'. SO.....
This blooming wisteria CARD will have to fill all my blooming wisteria desires! Haha! (Also, if you have any amazing wisteria tips, send them my way!) :)
So, I used the new Atrium die to cut out the structure and then piled on the lush wisteria blooms dripping from the top.
And growing up from the bottom of the card, I used the new Bird of Paradise Border die, as well as another sign and sentiment from Bloom & Grow Sentiments.
