Hello friends! Can you believe it’s almost September! I’m still making summer cards. Lol! When I first saw Simple Stories Simple Vintage Lemon Twist collection, I knew I needed it. The colors are gorgeous! This collection was supposed to be released earlier this year, but I guess there were some product delays. I wasn’t the only person that wanted this collection since it sold out immediately after being released. Most of the items for the collection have been restocked though. I only purchased the 6×8 paper pad, ephemera pack and 4 sheets of the 12×12 paper. I love the 6×8 size since it’s easy to make multiples of the same card.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 45 cards.
Here is the cardstock I pulled before starting on the 6×6 paper pad. I always pull out way more cardstock than I ever use. I list the brands and colors if I have the information. Some of my cardstock has been in my craft room for many, many years.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 18 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 9 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Black – Recollections
Capri Sea – Bazzill
Atlantis – Bazzill
Blue Calypso – Bazzill
Polar Ice – Coredinations
Tulip – Coredinations
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. All my cards are A2 size. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Simple Stories Simple Vintage Lemon Twist 6×8 paper pad.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
I appreciate your kindness and support! ❤
What a delightful paper pad! Your cards are beautiful, bright and cheerful. You have a great eye for picking out lovely collections. Thanks so much for sharing these beauties.
Aw, thank you! I hope you are having a lovely week! 💛
I love the color combinations in this pad–so pretty! Even though there weren’t as many lemon patterns as you wished, it seemed to have a lot of lemon ephemera pieces. I love the little tea cup die. And you always have the exact match for Peel-offs and nail polish!! 45 cards–wow! TFS!
Thank you so much! I love the colors in this collection. At least the ephemera pack included lots of fun lemon images. With the larger 6×8 paper size and the 4 extra 12×12 sheets, it was easy to make a ton of cards. Lol!
Lovely set of cards Kristie. I can see why they called the collection Vintage Lemon Twist, it’s all the lovely papers that have a fabulous Lemon colour to them.
Thank you so much! The colors in this collection are so lovely. 💛
