Fresh Watermelon Wishes


Hi friends! Today I'm popping in with a birthday card featuring the June Paper Pad Club and Sweet Slice stamp set. I love this sentiment from the set and stamped it onto a die cut from the Emily's Alphabet Dies. Today I'm playing along with the This or That hop over on Instagram. This week's prompt is FRESH FRUIT or FRESH AIR. Seemed like the perfect time to pull out some of that Watermelon Summer Ephemera!




I've been into using up scraps lately, so this card started with a 3 x 3" scrap of both the watermelon plaid and watermelon patten paper. I cut the squares in half on the diagonal, then mounted onto a scalloped square die cut. This is layered onto a 2" x 4" scrap layered horizontally on a 4" x 5.25" die cut of the picnic plaid.  A super fun layout.

I finished off with a collage of watermelon images from the Watermelon Summer Ephemera. That watermelon sorbet has me drooling!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous day.

Summer Girl



Hey there crafty friends! Today I'm popping in with a fresh card featuring the June Paper Pad Club from Not 2 Shabby. I'm loving all the summery red and green papers and wanted to showcase this beautiful girl from the Watermelon Summer Ephemera.

I started with scraps from previous projects, cutting two 1.25 x 1.5" panels from the watermelon plaid and soft watercolor watermelon papers.  I added this to a white rectangle and layered onto a scallop mat cut from the Summer Gingham Paper Pad.


The girl is popped up on foam for some dimension, then I accented one of the squares with a sticker from the Sweet Summer Cottage PET Tape. I just love how it all coordinates.  The hello word die was from last fall's retreat bundle and is cut from white cardstock that I used Copic markers to create a gradient on. I then layered it onto a vellum shadow layer and accented with another PET sticker.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous day!
