I love this new stamp set called Cute Fruit. You can find it here in the online store. Or you can find it on pages 6 & 7 of the Beginner Brochure. (It is not shown in the Annual Catalog.)

One of my favorite images is the watermelon. So I created a card with this image and the “one in a melon” sentiment so I could send out some congratulations cards to a few team members who promoted recently. When I was almost done designing the card, I couldn’t find an embellishment that looked right. So I made my own watermelon seeds by coloring on dried drops of Fine Tip Glue! Blends alcohol-based markers are awesome!

I just shared live on YouTube how to make these fun embellishments and how to make this card. I also shared how I made two other similar cards using much of the same products. Then I shared that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for the card I demonstrated along with photos and a list of extra supplies for the two other cards I showed. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).
