Happy Tuesday, everybody! I hope you’re having a great week so far! Has the weather warmed up any where you are? It’s still chilly here but we’re expected to have temps in the 60s this week so just maybe spring has sprung! I’m up on the CutCardStock blog today with a tutorial for making a super cute watermelon thank you card featuring our new Lessebo cardstock along with my Cricut and a Dreaming Tree cut file. I used Lessebo Cherry Red, Pitch Black, Hunter Green and White cardstock, and also Cougar Smooth White cardstock for the envelope. This card is easy and works up fast, and would be adorable as a summer party invite! The sky is the limit! Be sure to visit the CutCardStock website this month for a variety of sales (one each week) on closeout and overstock items!

Using my Cricut and the Dreaming Tree Watermelon Card SVG cut file, I cut the card base and watermelon layer from Lessebo Cherry Red, the seed layer from Pitch Black, and the rind from Hunter Green and White. I stamped a sentiment from the Taylored Expressions One In A Melon stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The inside sentiment layer was cut from Lessebo White and I stamped another sentiment from the same Taylored Expressions stamp set.

Here’s a shot of the card with the envelope that I cut from Cougar Smooth White cardstock and the flap layer from Lessebo Hunter Green. So stinkin’ cute!
