CottageCutz: Summer and Lemonade Go Together!

Hello Friends,

The summers in Arizona is extremely hot so I thought I would do a card with one of my favorite thirst quenchers LEMONADE! This card will probably go to another person who live here in the desert who needs a little summer boast! I am featuring the Lemonade Stand, Garden Bicycle and the Fresh Lemonade Phrases.

Design Steps:

If you would like to see a video this link will take you to Splitcoaststamper side step tutorial. HERE

1. Line up the short side of the card stock at 3 inches on a paper cutter. Start at 1 inch and cut all the way to 6 1/2 inches

2. Score the 2 1/2 wide section of the card at 4 1/4 inches

3. Score the 3 inch wide section at 1 inch, 2 inches, 3 1/4 inches, 4 1/2 inches and 6 1/2 inches

4. Fold the score line on the 2 1.2 side at the 4 1/4 mountain style

5. To decorate the card front I used the following colors of card stock and dies for the cuts: Garden Bicycle (blue, black, silver) Lemon Branch (yellow, green) Lemonade Stand (wood grain DP, yellow, blue, white, and green) Lemonade Phrases (black light yellow, dark yellow, white and green) Grass Slimline (green) Fall Tree (brown, green and yellow)

6. Cut a piece of wood grain DP 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 and glue to the left side of the side step card. For the grass the front pieces are 1 x 3 and 1/2 x 3, middle step is 1 1/4 x 3 and 1 x 3, back step is 2 x 3. Decorate the left side with the Lemonade Word Phrase as shown

7. Add the trees to the back step, the lemonade stand to the middle step and the bicycle to the front step
