Citrus Sweetness

To brighten a cold winter day, here's some gratitude in the form of a fun card:

and the inside:

The stamp set is called Apple of My Eye, but I used citrus, to go with my lemons from the Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack. The dotted texture is from the Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, which I am so happy is available in the 2016 Occasions Catalog. 

To make the background, I cut the paper on an angle. I don't measure the angle, I measure the side lengths. Basically, I cut the paper at 4 1/4 and 3" for the yellow and 1 1/4" and 2" for the lemons. If I place a little pencil dot on those measurements, I just lay my cardstock on my cutter so I make a straight line between my measurements. Next, I use my 2" Circle punch to cut out the half circles. 

Did you notice the little yellow dots? They are It's My Party Enamel Dots on page 6 of the Occasions Catalog. You got 96 dots for $4. That's a deal..
