A Summer Treat

DSC_1106w

Nothing says summer like a slice of watermelon!  This one is made with the gingham circle from “Kind & Cozy”.  It fits the 2 1/2″ circle punch, and I added a 2″ circle of Strawberry Slush.  The seeds are punched from the cupcake punch (the little flame).   Fun, huh?  I first saw this punch art on a card by Janet Holmes.  Make a whole round without seeds first, and then cut it into slices – halves, quarters, whatever!  Then add seeds to the slices.

I would best describe this project as a treat portfolio.  Here is what it looks like opened up…

I CASEd my upline Mindy Gray to make this project.  She was passing out a floral version of this project at convention, made with “Flower Patch”.  It was super-cute, too, made on Hello Honey cardstock with Lullaby designer paper.  You can change this up for any season or occasion.  We made it at our Team Meeting the other night.

This is little – just right to make a favor with those new Ghirardelli minis!  The black cardstock is 6 1/2″ x 5″.  Score at 3″ and 3 1/2″ along the 6 1/2″ side, and score at 3″ along the 5″ side.  This creates a 3″ square portfolio that is 1/2″ thick.  The Whisper White mat is 2 3/4″ square and the DSP is 2 5/8″ square.  My tag is 2″ x 2 3/4″.

I made up a bunch of watermelon note cards, too.  Once you get started on these watermelon, it is hard to stop!
