You're So Sweet Scrapbook.com Special Fold

You're so sweet to stop by and check out my card today!  I hope you have a great day and enjoy today's card. I spent a lot of time die cutting and designing on this one.  I was very pleased with how it turned out. I primarily used Scrapbook.com product papers, stamps and dies. I used a prefolded card base.


I just adore how the watermelons have hearts for seeds. I also stamped the sentiments and die cut them.  I inked all the edges as it my preference.


I used a Spellbinders label die cut to layer behind the large sentiment.  I was then able to adhere just half so the sentiment remains intact when folded and unfolded.


Ingredients:
Spellbinders Petite labels 1
Stampin Up Word Window punch
Kindred Stamps Sentiment Strip die
UPDATE:  I found the precut base package. The base was the Tri Shutter cards from Our Daily Bread. It came with 2 each of 3 colors. I used both whites.  I will be showing off the second card soon. I still have two ivory and two kraft bases.


I would like to enter this enter in the following challenges:










thanks for reading about my project today. have a great day!

    1. Kim, the third color is actually a very dark green which I used for both the watermelon rind and dark panels.
