A Watermelon Shaker

This card here really is my most favorite card that I made using products from the One Plus One Collection-the next release from Catherine Pooler Designs! I made a lot of cards, yesterday's was one of my favorites as well, but with a collection this fun, the ideas kept coming!

The One Plus One Collection is about love and family...it features Catherine Pooler Designs' first bundle of baby card products and lots of wedding and anniversary stamps! As always, there are a few bundles to choose from too. The collection will be available Wednesday, June 22nd at 9am EST (there is early ordering for StampNation Members- Monday the 20th at noon!)

When I saw the two-toned green striped patterned paper from the A Tisket, A Tasket Patterned Paper Pack, I pictured watermelon rinds, so I had to make a watermelon shaker, of course! My card base is Ultra Smooth White Cardstock. I trimmed down the striped paper so a small frame of white shows. Before adhering to the card base, I die cut a portion out with the new Scalloped Frame Dies, also die cutting a frame from the Scalloped Frame Dies in White Cardstock. On a panel cut to the same size as the scallop, I ink blended Be Mine and  Party Dress, then splattered some water onto it, resembling the fleshy fruit of a watermelon.

I adhered the patterned paper onto the card base, then placed the pink panel, and then adhered acetate to the back of the white scalloped frame, along with some dimensional adhesive. Before placing the frame onto the card, I filled the shaker area with sequins from Motor City Sequin Mix...to resemble watermelon seeds! I finished the card with thee perfect sentiment from Magnetic Messages Stamp Set stamped in Midnight Ink.

I am so happy with how this turned out, I truly made my vision come to life with picturing a watermelon, and I love that I was able to make it a shaker card too!
