This Level One Sale-a-bration set that you can EARN for FREE in January and February just screams summertime doesn’t it?!

This is a simple stamps, ink paper kind of card with a simple fun fold!

Measurements:
BASE: Sweet Sorbet 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored
at 4 1/4″ and 1″
Basic White layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″
scrap for Heartfelt Hexagon Punch

Score the Sweet Sorbet base card at 4 1/4″ and 1″. Folding the 1″ score into a mountain fold and the 4 1/4″ into a valley fold.

On the inside panel of the 1″, stamp the watermelon seeds in a random pattern with Tuxedo Black memento ink. Fold backwards so the stamped side is now on the outside of the card.

Punch a Heartfelt Hexagon out of a scrap of Basic White cardstock and stamp the half watermelon image in Sweet Sorbet ink in the lower right hand corner. Then stamp the rind in Parakeet Party ink around the watermelon pulp stamped in sweet sorbet. (I think it is easier to line up the rind image after stamping the pulp but you can stamp in any order you choose)
Stamp the hello sentiment on the upper left hand corner in Tuxedo Black Memento ink from the Wonderful Thoughts stamp set.
Using a blending brush color the edges in Sweet Sorbet ink, by brushing in downward strokes off the edge of the punched cardstock.

Adhere to the stamped side of the 1″ panel.

Stamp the thinking of you stamp in Memento ink in the center of the Basic White layer, then stamp a watermelon slice to the sentiment’s right side, using sweet sorbet ink for the pulp, parakeet party for the rind and memento ink for the seeds.

Adhere to the inside of the card.

You can pull on the 1″ panel to open up this easy fun fold!
