As fall and back to school time approaches, I am trying to squeeze in some last minute\u00a0summer themed projects to keep the summer going in my crafty world.\u00a0I thought I would make up some cute watermelon wedge and slice cards that I could send to folks as surprise notes to spread and extend the summertime fun.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I made all of these with card stock from my stash in red, dark green, light green, white, and black. I used the Diemond Dies Die-Normous Stack Ems Circle Nesting Die Set<\/a><\/span>–using the largest, 4th largest, 5th largest and 6th largest circle dies from the 20 piece set. I also used the small raindrops from the Diemond Dies Umbrella and Raindrops Die Set<\/a><\/span> to make little watermelon seeds. \u00a0Using the seeds spread out about an inch apart in an arch that followed the shape of the watermelon added\u00a0a nice rhythmic repetition.<\/p>\n

I love puns, so I couldn’t help printing out “Thanks a melon!” and “You’re Sweet” on some left over pale green card stock and adding those sentiments to the cards.<\/p>\n
