Watermelon hand-stamped card

Celebrate life.  Sometimes it's hard to stay ahead of the demands of my family, work, life and find time to send my cards out on time (and my passion and business is cards!).  I try to find holidays that give me a chance to leave memories for my children and don't require me to do much work (motherhood, I'm just saying).  One of my favorite holidays to celebrate is in honor of one of my favorite fruit - National Watermelon Day is August 3rd!  See this fun card making video tutorial as I am planning some sweet fun for my family this week.  (Comment below what you think and I may send you this card!)

I love taking a different look at crafting (and life).  Here is a fun and easy spin on a stamp design in the Summer Sorbet stamp set.

Create this juicy card when you:
~ Using the 2015-17 In-Color Watermelon Wonder Stampin' Write Marker to color the inner part of the citrus stamp.
~ Use the 2015-17 In-Color Cucumber Crush Stampin' Write Marker to color the 'rind' of this stamp.
~ Using a permanent marker in black to color in the adhesive backed Rhinestone Jewels for a fun watermelon seed look.  Make sure to add one to the citrus center to cover that look.
~ Cut out with our awesome Paper Snips Scissors and adhere to the Whisper White card stock over the Watermelon Wonder car stock base with Stampin' Dimensional adhesive for additional depth.
~  Mimic the fruit design when you use the stamp Stampin' Write Markers to color in this greeting from the One Big Meaning stamp set (packed with many ways to say 'thanks'). Add that fun 'watermelon seed' to the greeting for extra whimsy.
