If you are a fan of this set, you definitely check out Lemonade Party Ensemble. The 4″ x 6″ Zesty Life Stamp Set features two beautiful branches of lemons and leaves. The set also includes some fun-loving lemon sentiments that go perfectly with the images. There are 10 stamps in this set. I love that the bundle includes a coordinating die set and stencil.  They make the designs fun and easy to create!

For creative prompts, I am highlighting how we can best to utilize the Cute Fruit 6×6 Paper Pad with Zesty Life Complete Bundle.

1. Alter the pattern paper to jazz up the designTo showcase the lemon image, I used the wavy design of the paper paper. I then split it in half and trimmed the scalloped borders. The new Fine Blade Scissors makes fussy-cutting a breeze!

With the help of Stampwheel, you can do tone on tone stamping. Notice there is not black outline? I love the green and yellow outlines for the lemon images. The Metallic Threads Set and Summer Afternoon Enamel Dots are just the perfect embellishments for this design.

2. Add Instant Pops of Colors

For this design, I water-colored the images with Artist's 24 Watercolor Pan Set.  To ensure the success of water-coloring, using Watercolor Paper (such as A2 Loose Set)  is a must.

The sentiment was stamped and die cut with the Cute Fruit 6×6 Paper Pad. The paper pad add the extra pops of colors to the design.

Needless to say, the coordinating die completes the card with a very polished look. To add some shine, I added Glitter Cardstock-Gilded and Satin Gold Sequins.

3. Paper pads are SO handy for creating quick cards

Once you have your stamped die cut image, you can create a card in minutes!

Don't forget that Parchment Cardstock also work beautifully with pattern paper.

4. Pattern paper work wonderfully with any media

No matter how you use the pattern paper, they work with inks, watercolor 5. Pattern paper makes it easy for creating multiple sets of cardsThanks to the pattern paper, these cards are unique in its own way and yet they have a cohesive look!

Here is my extra project with the Zesty Life Complete Bundle. This time, I colored the images with Artist Gouache Set-Strolling through New York.

I hope that you are inspired to try out the pattern paper and dies in your stash. Better yet, get the Zesty Life Bundle and try it yourself! What zesty card designs do you have in mind? Let us know in the comments below!
