Watermelon Card Craft Supplies:

* Pre-made Cardstock Paper Cards
* White Cardstock Paper
* Adhesive
* Pink/Green/Black Craft Paint
* Small Paper Plate
* Various Small Paint Brushes
* Brand New Kitchen Sponge {clean/any size}
* Scissors/Paper Trimmer
* Scrapbook Stickers/Sharpie Markers

Directions:

* First trim down your white cardstock so it will fit on the front of your pre-made cardstock cards.
* One piece for each card.
* Once trimmed down, go ahead and glue those to the front of each card with your adhesive.
* Repeat for each card you are making.
* Now grab your kitchen sponge and scissors.
* Cut out a triangle for your watermelon slice. It can be any size you like, just as long as it’s not bigger than your card.
* Now grab your paper plate and craft paint.
* Squirt pink paint on the paper plate.
* Take your newly made “stamp” and rub it into the pink paint, until it’s completely covered.
* Then take it and stamp it on the white cardstock.
* Repeat for each card you are making.
* Next grab the green and black craft paint.
* Paint on the watermelon rim and seeds on the stamped design.
* Set aside to let it dry completely.
* To finish off the watermelon themed cards, add your scrapbook stickers/use Sharpie markers around the watermelon slice design to say “You are ONE IN A MELON” or any other saying you like.
* Finally, write a sweet message inside and mail away to the lucky receiver!!!

Extra Craft Tip – instead of a kitchen sponge, try thinking outside the box with your stamp. Use potatoes, apples or craft foam scraps to make your triangle shape.
