The August 2026 Release collection is packed with beautiful new products to inspire your creativity! For today’s blog hop, I used the Creative Cuts: Lemon Tree Layering Die Set to create a fresh and summery CAS card featuring this lovely citrus design. This set is such a fun and versatile one to work with. You can create a lush lemon tree with plenty of dimension, but the design can also be adapted in different ways to suit your project. I love that it can be used to create anything from a cheerful potted tree to a more delicate hanging arrangement, giving you lots of options for different card styles.

I die cut all the elements from white cardstock and used inks and mini blending brushes to add colour. For the leaves, I used Lime, Fresh Leaf, and Reindeer Moss from the Whispering Woodland Fresh Dye Ink Set, along with Mountain Pine. For the lemons, I used the Pocketful of Sunshine Fresh Dye Ink Set, which is full of bright and sunny hues.



For the background, I used the newly released Nesting A2 Panels Die Set and Crafty Necessities: Glacier Iris Cardstock to create a fun geometric backdrop in pastel tones. To finish the card, I added a black die-cut “hello” from the Lemon Tree Layering Die Set.




That’s it from me today, and I’m the last stop on the hop! You can find the full lineup below. 

I hope you’ve enjoyed hopping along with us and seeing all the beautiful creations along the way.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
